total annual production of 800,000,000
pounds of tobacco Is purchased by the

fully Influenced by the combination
against them; also that the trust man
ufactories sell and distribute more than
80 per cent of tho smoking and plug
tobaccos, 05 per cent of the snuff, 80
per cent of the cigarettes; 75 per cent
