There is reported to be a shortness in the crop of the United States, and 
prices are ruling high, and the imports into the United Kingdom for 1902 will 
probably show a falling- off, and at a higher figure than the imports of 1901; 
and if the fight continues between the American Tobacco Co. and the Imperial 
Tobacco Co. prices are likely to go higher in Great Britain. %
