Nabisco Holdings Corp

RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp.'s largest shareholder, financier Carl Icahn, sold his 8% stake in the company as it split into separately traded food and tobacco businesses. Icahn, who for four years had tried to wrest control of RJR, pocketed a $130-million profit from selling his 25.7 million shares at $31.87 per share minutes before the close of trading Monday. Icahn's sale comes as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc., the No. 2 U.S.

Nabisco Biscuit Co. said it will introduce by the end of the year six new breakfast snacks, including cereal bars based on Oreos. The new items include Oreo, Chips Ahoy and Nutter Butter granola bars, along with fat-free cereal bars, said the unit of RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp. The company said 24% of all snacking is done in the morning, more than double the level of 10 years ago.
