Rumor of a 25 Million Tobacco Company Stirs Market
The market opened weak with broad liquidation. Tobacco shares fell with American from 91 to 88 and Continental from 24 to 22, while Sugar edged up then slipped to 105.% as a rally later faded. Steel lagged though mining shares gained, and railroad preferred rose to 72. Rumors of a new tobacco company capitalized at 25 million dollars circulated to challenge the tobacco trust, amid talk of a fall and upcoming director meetings affecting prices and dividends.

The American Lead and Smelting Co reports two leases four miles from Joplin were disposed of, improving the company by about forty to fifty thousand dollars.

Management remains cautious about dividends, planning to use earnings for future development while keeping floating debt in check.
