YHH FRUIT JAR TRADE.
IA Movement Said to be AtoOt
Among the Jobbers
TO STOP MANUFACTURERS
From Furnishing Wholesale GrOceFs
With Jars-Jobbers Wantto Make
Something Out OF the Rusl-
pess-Pottery Combine.

A Pittsburgh paper Of last evening
contained an interview with MI, F. +,
Evans, Of 7, G, Evans & Co, in which
he Is quoted as saying that he believes
the pottery combine to be . go. He
continues as follows; I'm Wheeling a
day or two since a manufacturer told me
prices will be advanced from 5 TO 10 per
cent on decorated goods, and Of course
he included white glass In that state
ment, No, as | understand 1t, there Is
no trust; the deal was not contaminated
In that shape, The potteries west OF the
mountains signed an agreement with Q
stiff cash penalty attached, not to sell
goods below o certain figure, But that's
all right; they didn't take Trenton In,
and they can't get more money Tor their
goods than Trenton, 80 there II stands;
We have received no official notice Of
the advance, neither have we made any
new contracts in anticipation OF one"
This same gentleman went on TO say
that while the talk Of the pottery COM
bine was making but little stir there was
a general movement about TO be made the
country over, that was OF far more In
p~ortance. He referred TO the fruit jar
business Of the country, which for sever
al years past has been something enor'
nous.
The charge Is made that the manuiac'
turers OF jars have been making all the
money that has been made, The Job
beTs and retailers, US q rule, use fruit
Jars as a leader and their claim Is that
the profits fall 10 pay them either loT
the handling, or for the interest on the
money invested. The reason given for
thisis that wholesale grocers sell Jars al
almost cost, aud the natural result Ia
that there ls nothing In the business for
any one but the manufacturers and not
much for them. Tho jobbers claim that
jars are legitlmately their line, but since
the wholesale groCers cut all the profits
out Of them the iobbers are, II is said,
becoming Indifferent as TO whether
they handle them or not. This
has been the feeling for several
years and now II is rumored that 1t u
about to eliminate In something tangi'
BILE. The movement is said to be aspon,
taneous one all over the country and
will result In a rousing meeting, the re
suit OF which will be the singing Of an
agreement by every jobber refusing Il
handle a single jar so long as the manu-
iacturers persist in selling t9, the whole
sale grocers. 10 4
