Panama that the tobacco concession in
that country is sold to the highest bid-der
annually. For 1900 It fetched
about $24,000 in gold, and was divided
in two divisions. The cigarette con-cession

to another party for $11 000. The lit-tle
whiffs have the lead. Panama de-rives

monopolies in tobacco, salt, matches
