Ihe New York Commercial Advertiser calls
attention to the fact that the export trade in
canned goods is largely on the increase, and
although considered by exporters as being
merely in its infancy has assumed magni-
tude that brings it within range of one of the
mast important Industries of the country.
The yearly aggregate of the export trade Of
these goods ranges from 100000 to $4,000
cases, average sixty pounds each, in one, two
and three pound cans, making q, total export
OF about 100000 pounds, and valued at not
less than s1,250,0OO. Large cargoes of these
goods are shipped to Great Britain France,
Germany, Austria Italy, Turkey, Russia,
Norway, Sweden, and even to Egypt,
and the trade is constantly en- the
Increase. The trade in canned sal
mon, which are packed in California and
Oregon, is becoming an important one; AGO.
600 cases. containing each an average Of four
dozen one-pound cans, were packed last year.

there Is prospect for d large Increase In the
amount packed. Canned HOLSTERS, which are
packed largely In Maine and the British prov
inccs, find ready purchasers for eonsump-
ton In Great Britain, France and Germany
Canned oysters are also in large demand.
and arc mostly packed In Baltimore, being
shipped to othor countries from this port
and New York. The aggregate Of these
shipments Is very large and constantly in
creasiDg. Canned meats already have 81
very large demand, especially for canned
beef which Is paeked on q large scale by n
number Of Chicago houses, one Of which has
drawn through New York bankers as much
AS $4,000 In gold per week on bills Of ladlnE
against shipments from that port. Canned
fruits and vegetables now engrOss great at
tention. Tho kinds packed are varied, but
the largest supply Is in tomatoes, of which
from 100000 to 100000 cases are packed
every year. Those are In great demand now
abroad, having become much liked, but
canned corn Is % yot worry little used in for
eign countries. Canned apples are also In
ready demand. and have large foreign sale
in cans ranging from three pounds oaoh to
one gallon. Gao Of the causes OF thelr pop
ularity Ia the fact that the canned fruit can
be supplied In England cheaper than the
greon fruit, although Il feature OF last Sat,lr-
days shipments was q consignment OF 10000
barrels Of green apples.

Though the past year has been BIZ unfor-

concerned, there have been further evidences
Of the growth and concentration OF the live

preceding years, while the business In sheep
has very largely expanded, both for local CON
