a correspondent who has made tour
among the Maine corn packers, reports
that the corn product is at least one third
less than last year, on account of the I'M
timely frost. Tomatoes We're almost en-
tirely Abandoned by the packers, as they
failed to ripen. 1t the putting up of ap-
Piles, competition seems to be too sharp
to make the industry paying one. No
Holsters or mackarel were canned this
year. 1t is probably safe to say that the
entire pack of Maine for the present year
will not be much less than 100000 cases
of corn against 80, 900 cases packed in
the year 1857. The number of factories
operated in the year 1883 was slightly in
excess of the number operated in 1887.
The feeling is general among those who
planted corn the past season, that they
will not be discouraged at one season 5
failure, but will pick their flints and try
it again next year.
