CIGARETTE PROFIT
EXPECTED TOGROW
Tobacco Industry Predicts
Present Prices viii Con.
tinue Two Months.
BY CHAS. p. sHAEFFER.
Associated Press Business Writer.

Cigarettes. the main division OF the
tobacco industry, are expected to re-
turn more profits to their makers this
year despite q decline in consumption.
This statement, which has been adj
vanced by leading companies, Is pre-
dicted on the assumption present prices
for leading brands will continue
throughout the next two months. The
average price level for the four leading
cigarettes Is now calculated to be 1888
per 1000 after Government tax and
trade discounts.
The tax which the cigarette carries Is
50 per thousand under Federal legis-
lation, plus an additional amount Of
from ! cent to cents in "a States of
the Union. In seven other States SINH
lar levies are in prospect at the coming
sessions Of State Legislatures.
Estimates Of the industry indicate the
consumption for 1881 win be In the
neighborhood Of $4,000, 600 900 ciga-
rettes, as compared with the peak Of
100, 900, 0Oo, 900 last year. The decline is
popularity ascribed to the roll your
own" campaign started by tobacco
manufacturers, to the higher prices pre-
vailing in the cigarette industry itself
and to the increase in the consumption
Of snuff.
The estimated value to manufacturers
OF this years expected production with
present prices prevailing during the re-
lmainder Of the year will be about $685.
600 900, the industry calculates, as CON-
pared with $316, 00U, 900 at last years
higher production and lower price level.

slightly In the New York market this

to have sufficient stocks to meet pro-
duction needs for the next two weeks,
and they are showing no interest In
goods for later use at this time. up

lines Of fabrics for the Spring season,
but commitments on 1882 goods have
not started as yet.
Orders for women's full-fashioned
hosiery for the holiday trade showed
slight squirt toward the close OF this
week. although buyers continued to OPP
crate cautiously and to seek the lowest
possible quotations, selling agents re.
ported. Mesh styles were feature OF
the business placed, and 1t Is expected
that q large holiday business VIII De
done on these goods.

CIGARETTE OUTPUT DROPS
FIRST TIME IN DECADE

With the single exception Of 1920,
production Of cigarettes will show q de-
crease this year for the first time since
the industry became important, 1t is
pointed out by the Brookmire Economic
Service, Inc, which expresses the opin-
ion that higher cigarette prices are q
more important factor in the decline
than the business depression. An inter-
esting feature Of present tobacco sta
tistics, 1t is observed, is the rather large
increase being shown now in the con-
sumption OF SNUFF and Of manufactured
tobaccos.
Snuff, which moved up to a new high
level in 1922, the first year following
the postwar depression, has seen more
consumption each year since that time
than in any year prior to 1922.
Manufactured tobaccos, as distin-
guished from cigarettes, declined prior
to and during the postwar depression
and have never since reached their pre-
vious status.

STOCK
PRICES CONTINUES
List Pushes Through to New
Tops Since the October.
Decline.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November mo longer
content to play a secondary role, the
market today developed Independent
strength, aided, Of course, by rising
commodities, but moving ahead now on
its own momentum. Stocks opened
higher and, to the accompaniment OF
greatly increased activity pushed
through to new peaks since the low OF
the bear market in early october.
No one group monopolized attention.
The industrials were stronger than the
rails or the utilities, but every part
of the list shared more or less in the
ever, that took the lead at the start.
Standard Oil of New Jersey, Union OIL
of California, Atlantic Refining and
Ohio Oil, a varied assortment, were
turned over in large blocks at rising
quotations. Except for scattered in
creases in gasoline prices there was
nothing new IN the oil trade, but the
market seemed convinced that the long
despised petroleum shares were now at
tractive mediums for speculation Tor
the rise.
High Shots.
Motor stocks were represented by
General Motors. which sold at the best
of the recovery, taking Du Pont along
with it, also at new high on the
movement. Shorts in these issues
helped along the advance by their COW
ering operations. Chemical stocks were
active and strong, with Allied Chemical
up at one time nearly 4 points. Allied
Chemical even at today'S price was
selling less than 10 times net income
last year and only a shade above its
book value. Meanwhile 1t gave q yield,
at the present dividend rate, well over
6 per cent.
-Four stocks comprised another strong
group, with practically all Of them at
the best OF the rally. National Biscuit,
Corn Products and Borden deserve
mention in this connection. American
Sugar Refining continued its rise to a
level where 1t was selling 8 points above
the close a week ago. In this case the
yield at the current dividend Is over 10
per cent.
OF the standard stocks, United States
Steel above II, American Telephone
around IA, American Can at S5 and
General Electric above 33 all helped
give the market its buoyant appear
ance. Bethlehem Steel went along with
United States Steel and Westinghouse
Electric with General Electric, the
shorts in both being plainly worried.
Change in Situation.
The pace was so fast that the tape
fell 4 minutes behind. Realizing in
large volume was we'll absorbed, with
only minor recesSions, and the pro-
fessional traders began to suspect that
the public, so long missing from the
scene, was taking a hand. This always
upsetS calculations.
The changed situation in the mar
ket was best illustrated by the way
it ignored the reactions in wheat and
in silver, both Of which commodities
were responsible for the rise in stocks
in the first place. Silver was lower
at the opening and wheat reacted after
making new highs, but that brought
strong from start to finish.

wheat, with climbing prices, beats the
drums in the hopeful parade, but the
lowly bovine is credited with doing the
biggest business at the cash windows.
While wheat and It's cereal cousins
are staging q comeback drama in the
worlds markets, the COW with her milk
and butterfats has been putting on o
show which finds farmers cheering for
the first time In months.
Farm Income Up 2O,o00, 600.
statisticians Of the Minneapolis Fed
eral Reserve Bank told the story In
figures arraying price increases AFFECT
sofa, Montana, North and South Da-
kota, Upper Michigan and Northwestern
Wisconsin. Private bankers and Stats
ticians rounded out the story with esti-
mates that the upward movement OF
grain and dairy prices in the last four
months has increased the potential
farm income Of the area--soIne Of 1t
already realized-from $65 ,0O0,0 600 to
SIS, 100000. In these estimates, they
disregarded feeds, some OF which may
find their way to market instead OF
changed price trend.
Butter, Reserve bank statisticiAns
showed, has treaded its way back from
q low mean price in July Of 201a cents
a pound to 1914 cents in october, with
the rise still on. These 9 cents mean
from $3,5oo,o00 to 5000, 600 more
monthly to the farmer, depending on
production volume, which varies
through the year.
Further Increase Expected.
While confidence is expressed that
the prices will advance further, manu-
facturers estimated that the increase,
II continued for year at its present
position, would mean about $50 000, 900
increase in the areas dairy income.

MANY FACTORS NEEDED
TO PUSH UP STOCKS

NEW YORK, November Although
the recent rise in grain prices has pro-
vided a stimulus for the current ad-
vance In certain stocks. there was, in
addition, @ strong technical posi-
ton favoring an advance, according to
Buchanan Tyson, economist. The two
factors conceded nicely, Tyson states in
a bulletin issued by Neill- Tyson, Inc,

end the bear market, and it must be
remembered that If share prices are up

wheat declines so will stocks.
