According to statements made by Dunedin tobacconists, the market outlook for New Zealand tobacco for 1927 is a particularly bright one (says the' Otago Daily Times). In January the new legislation requiring tobaccos ta be put up in loz and 2oz tins will come into force. This will mean an increased price on all save the New Zealand varieties, and as these are becoming increasingly popular at the present competitive prices the adjusted rates are certain to advance sales of the “home grown” considerably. At present smoking tobacco is still being sold in l%oz tins, but retailers are fast clearing their stocks, and tradesmen in a small way who do not carry big supplies, are already offering the new 2oz tins for sale. The difference in price between the New Zealand grown and packed and the imported tobaccos is at present about 4d a tin j After January it will vary up to double that sum.
