In 1898 losses rose, and two years later losses reached 20.5 million, prompting concern that rising expenses and commissions will offset any rate cuts.

Tobacco Trusts Sale and Disposition of Blackwell Property
W A Guthrie of Durham filed in U S circuit court his answer to the American Tobacco Company suit against Blackwell Tobacco Company of Durham. He argues the court has no jurisdiction over the North Carolina chartered Blackwell firm and that only the legislature can repeal the charter. He contends the American Company lacks power to absorb rivals and accuses it of rust and price destruction. Guthrie claims the move aims to forestall legislative action.
