The tomato crop is not turning
out even as well as was expected,
and the yield will not be more than
half as much per acre as it should
be. AS consequence the price of
tomatoes is very nigh, but this will
benefit only few of the farmers,
as most of them planted their crops
under contract with Gamers at S.
or Sc per ton. Down the Peninsula
as high as $l5 per ton is being paid,
as the price for the canned product
is advancing and promises to reach
high water mark this winter
News.
Supply and demand make prices
whether of tomatoes, wheat or gold.
If an artificial demand can be made
by cornering an article it works as
well as natural scarcity. Money
has been made scarce by both arti-
fetal and natural causes. 1t has
been reduced to gold and the gold
cornered. Hence produce, or prop
erty, is low in price while money is
high.
