sg1 The american Grocer of New York gives
complete statistics of the pack of corn and
tomatoes throughout the United States and
Canada in 1891. -'' ~ -..- o-
= The increased pack of tomatoes is only
1858, 667 cases above the average OF the pre-
-yious four years. At the prices which have
ruled for the past few years the Gr0cer thinks
the production of standard tomatoes cannot
be chased as "a proftabeindustry. Maryland
no longer leads her sister States in the pack
ing Of tomatoes, the production last year
showing marked decrease, and the honoris
held by New Jersey. With regard to. the
pack in Hartford county the Grocer says: Ell
10 Hartford county falls behind this season. A
number of factories were discontinued, some
sections reporting an almost total failure Of
the crop. The returns, as compared with
last year, are quite irregular. some exceed
ing, others running behind, and others, as in
previous years, operating to their fullest ca
pacity. The season opened generally between
Aug! 10 and Aug. 90, and closed at various
dates from the middle of September to the
middle of October. During the season heavy
rains cut down the yield, and as the wet was
followed by dry weather, the results are less
satisfactory than usual. t.,r.a7a r...st Is
The general average quality of the pack Of
1891 is superior to that of 1890. aiE' 10 De-
1u The pack of corn shows an increase Of
1910, 593 cases in 1891 as compared with
$780, "The year" says the Grocer; "closes
with stocks in first hands Of very small pro-
portions, There is a scarcity of fine grades
of corn. for which there has been an unsatisfi-
ed demand for weeks" ,,.r,9F zi@e.1.s ~
