THE business ssstlook for 1888 in Mil
ford is not quite so IFanisiDg as IL was
previous to the failure of G. NJ How
en-. For if his large kanneTy, giving
employment to hundreds of our day
laborers, does not run during the COM
ing season, it will naturally affect the
demand for houses f9 those who
would be to provide for. UT would also
affect the mercantile btsiness unfa-
Forably, and many farnArs and fruit
growers may have to finf a market
away from home for his nit and to-
matOes. But this possihility will GER
tainly be provided against Dy the farm
ers themselves; for they can, with the
assistance of an experienced Gamer,
pack all OF their own goods which will
give employment to hundrtdsand will
earn d double profit for themselves.
We do not believe that either of the
canneries will be left to stand idle dur
ing the season, but we do bslieve the
growers of tomathes will nd receive
over six dollars per ton.
