The rather unusual appearance of
evergreen shrubbery along the streets
and in the yards Of Oakland househol-

eastern exposure Of the pines and
other evergreens were white with
frost, while the western exposure Of
the same shrubs were their natural
beautiful green. The explanation is
made that a damp, penetrating
wind was coming in from the east,
with the mercury at about twenty de-
grees F., the result being the moisture
deposited upon the needles becoming
frozen and pure white as result.

Present indications point to a less

In commenting on the spring out

domestic outlook nor the prospect for
foreign trade in American tobacco as
a whole favors the expectation of a
season as satisfactory as that of last
year.
Tax-paid Withdrawals of cigars and
cigarettes, have declined during re-
cent months. This fact, together
with the general business situation,
