TOBACCO INDUSTRY
HAS HELD UP WELL
Thrift Movement Has Made Some
Impression on Cigarette Sales
in Recent Months.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 18.-Although they
are spending millions of dollars annual
ly in telling willing public about the
mild and mellow favors of their trade
marked brands. makers of cigarettes
are now feeling in a softened way the
bite of consumer thrift.
The bite is not especially cauStic, be-
cause the cigarette smoking public
clings stubbornly to its favored tailor
mades," but diminished national in
come has obliged many habitual
smokers to turn from manufactured
cigarettes to cheaper forms. Principal
diversion has been to the jimmy pipe
and the roll-your cigarette.
The latest available figures on Gig
arctic production show that $685. ,337.-
AT small-sized cigarettes were made in
May. This total compares with TO-
447,680,180 in May, 1881. The decrease
was about IT per cent.
The decline, however, was shade
less than in April, when it reached 20
per cent, compared with April of 1881.
A few loWer-priced brands have been
placed on the market in recent months
to capitalize the thrift movement. But
regardless of this. the standard-priced
cigarettes. ranging from 13 to Is cents
a pack, have held their ground fairly
tenaciously Out of each sale the Fed
eral Government collects its tax of G
cents package, which leaves only a
narrow margin on which the maker of
cigarettes can reduce his prices.
The economy move. however. has not
seriously hampered the record of the
tobacco industry, which during the let
down in general business, has lived up
with unusual success to its designation
as "depression-proof'' industry. In
fact purchasers who have turned to
cheaper forms of smoking are neverthe-
less continuing as customers in gooG
standing with the leading tobacco com
panies.
The pipe tobaccos they buy are made,
as general rule by the same people
who manufacture the cigarettes.

These merchants predict that cotton

siderable enthusiasm.
While the reserve banks until recently
had been purchasing Government

as means of forcing liquid funds into
the Nations money reservoir it is now
believed by leading authorities that
future purchases will be made at

CHECK TAX COLLECTION
METHOD is SUGGESTED
By the Associated Press.


Thomas B. Patton, general counsel of
the American Bankers Association,
suggests that the best method of COL
lecting the new bank check tax is to
count the checks drawn against each
account each month and debit the Gus
toner 2 cents per item.
The customer should be advised of
the deduction by a debit slip, making
it plain the charge is at the order of
the Federal Government, and not the
bank, he said.
Mr.. Patton also expressed the opinion
that a bank will not be liable for the
tax when uncollectable due to insuffi-
cient funds in an account. He said
also that the law is constitutional in
requiring banks to make these collec-
tions at their own expense
AS to instruments liable to the tax
he says they include all ordinary checks
and drafts, including counter checks,
but as to receipts used for Withdrawals
doubtless the same ruling will be made
as under the 1898 revenue act. which
made them exempt if presented to his
bank by the customer in person.

Farm Implement Sales.

mally low price levels for farm products
are a handicap to broad distribution of

Rail Stocks.

NEW YORK, June 18 (SpeciaD -
Not all of the improvement in senti-
ment is confined to the industrials and
public utilities. The Street indicates
favorable attitude toward a number of
the rail stocks that are on a non-divi-
dend basis and are selling at prices
believed to discount even present low
earnings. The popularity of the New
York Central is one of the interesting
phases of this speculation, in view of
the extremely poor showing, not only
OF earnings, but of working capital, OF
this company and the necessity for it
to obtain substantial loan from the
reconstruction Finance Corporation.
Ihe rally in Central has been conSid-
erably more than in stocks of other
Eastern lines, with decidedly stronger
credit status than that of its competi-
tors.
