' sl Wall street lias stood aghast to b seethe stock of this company jot ti tumbling from $ 154.To per share, h to which price it had soared with- ' in a few months, to $115.5". The Si latter was the lowest touch on t? Saturday. The outsiders in the; h street could not account for the t. decline of Mb{ points in the shares, b or a shrinkage of more than *7,. ooo,ono iti the value of the >ojo,- d 000,000 of common shares. They j " were sure it was not due to any n rivalry with other companies. b Mr. Keene has been interested ?' in American Tobacco stock for n,g year. In company with James tl 11.

C 1 7 I Payne, representing the Standard ^ Oil trust and a representative of r< Moore & Schley, he set out about h a year ago to obtain control of the b . ' i I American Tobacco company. It I was accomplished last spring, tl Mr. Keene it is known got his C stock considerably below par. 1 Then these five big operators f began a vigorous tight with tlie^f manufacturers of plug tobacco n with the idea of forcing them in a I to the combination. Rumors of jC this further combination sent the ? price up of the sto< k further than 11 it had been rising before. These negotiations with the manufaeta 1 urers of plug tobuccc have either i been successfully completed or | ; will be. The statement is made | on the authority of a person who li lis manifestly fully informed. tl There is said .to have been a * j tacit understanding between them ^ I that none of these live men should p sell any American Tobacco coinI pany stock until, at least, negotia c ' tions with the plug manufacturers s \vere completed. W hile the i.rice (. 11 j of the stock ten days ago had p I mounted to |.04, in connection |j I with further rumors of a greater a I trust forming. Mr. Keene dis 1" 1 covered one day that at least one V of the combination was disposing . I of stock without notifying him. . a ; Mr. Keene immediately ordered 1 his men on the tloors of the stooi ! exchange to sell American Tobae- ( I co without reserve.
