COMPTROLLER SMITH SREPORT.

We are indebted to State Comptrol-
Ter Marion deK. Smith, for copy of
his annual report to the Legislature.
The total receipts into the Treasury
from ordinary sources exceeded those
of the previous year by $25, 562. II, and
after deducting the legislative expens-
es of 1899, amounting to $142, 1888, the
disbursements show still larger de-
crease.
On September 80, 1898, the close of
the fiscal year, there remained in the
treasury a balance of $569, 050.58, as
against balance of 1882, 04S.46 the
previous year.
During the year the sum of $408, 24S. 40
was carried to the sinking fund and
about so per cent. of this invested in
State securities, the financial strin-
gency enabling the Treasury to obtain
these bonds at about their face value.
The oyster license fees in 1898 pro-
duced $4S, 437. ~ and the oyster navy
cost SOL ,3O2.03. The Comptroller says
that some legislation must be had on
the oyster question, the receipts from
the oyster fund being insufficient to
keep up the navy. Only ten per cent.
of the amount received from longing
license goes to the State, the remain
der, amounting to $34, 900 in 1898, being
retained by the counties issuing the
licenses, for their public schools. 1t
is estimated that if the longing Ii
cense, fees were all paid into the State
treasury the oyster police force could
be supported without drawing upon
the State treasury, If this fund is re-
tanned by the oyster counties the en-
tire State will have to be taxed to
support the oyster navy. There
would probably be great opposition
to this in the counties which do not
receive any part of this oyster fund.
The State finances are in excellent
condition and with continuation of
the same prudent management that
has characterized the present Demo
cratic administration, our good old
State will soon be free from debit
This is a consummation devoutly to
be wished. Then by leasing the now
unproductive oyster bottoms of the
Chesapeake Bay sum might be pro-
cured sufficient to relieve the people
of the State school tax and provide

Mr., Andrew Carnegie, the great
steel manufacturer, of Pennsylvania,
on the eve of his departure for Europe
sent a letter to the New York Tribune,
in which he favors the passage Of the
Wilson tariff bill, on the ground that
its passage by the Democratic party
would free the tariff from attack for
many years to come, which he says
would be better than the renewed
agitation which would follow the
defeat of the Wilson bill. Mr.. Carne-

Output of Canned Tomatoes, 1898.

The Fourteenth Annual Report of the
american Grocer makes the output of canned
tomatoes in the United States and Canada,
for the year 1898, 1895, 543 cases, an excess
over 1892 of ,02S, S14 cases. The total output
is equivalent to 1O5, $4,000 tins, quantity
sufficient to give each family Of five persons
eight tins per annum. The total is a larger
quantity than ever before reported. Had it
not been for the long summer drought, which
cut off the yield Of tomatoes in New York,
Ohio and other Western States, the pack
would have reached SOC, 900 to 5000, 900 cases,
or fully l, 100000 cases beyond the annual re-
quirements of the United States and Canada.
The year was a good one for the packers, as
the sales for future delivery during the
first half of 1893 were unusually heavy. High
prices for canned tomatoes during May, June
and July last stimulated the industry, and
led to the planting of largely increased area.
Fortunately the crop was short in some SEC
lions, and thus an overstocked market was
prevented. The market at the beginning OF
'94 was firm at $1@1.10 for No. standard
tins. The highest price in 1898, was $l.45 in
July; the lowest 95 cents in September
