The Philip Morris Companies, which earlier this week reversed plans to raise prices on its cheapest cigarettes, will raise them, after all, a spokesman said yesterday. Effective on Monday, Philip Morris will raise the price of its deep-discount brands like Basic and Famous Value by $3 per thousand cigarettes, or about 6 cents a pack, to $40.45 per thousand. Discount cigarettes, including Alpine and Cambridge, will also be set at this new level. Philip Morris scrapped the planned price increase earlier this week and said it would cut prices instead. But its rival, the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, subsequently said it would raise the price of its own private labels. As part of its pricing changes, Philip Morris will set its discount and deep-discount cigarettes at the same price.
