CHANGE FOR SMOKERS.—Large purchases of Turkish tobacco being made by the British Government are expected to lead to the disappearance in Britain of the 100 per cent Virginian cigarette. Trade experts calculate that a 10 per cent proportion of Turkish will be necessary to absorb the Government purchases. The two tobaccos arrive in different conditions. The keg contains 1001 b. of Virginian, while the bale contains 1101 b. of compressed Turkish. When these two amounts are blended, there will be enough for 440,000 of the new-type cigarettes.
