TIN-PLATE TRUST AND THE TABLE

The power of the tin-plate trust has
touched food products. it seems, and
we have a rise in the price of canned
goods. The cost of cans has moved up
ward about 81 per cent, and the prospect
is that there will be an additional rise.
A canned-goods manufacturer, in dis
cussing the matter with a representative
of the Baltimore American, is quoted as
saying:
"When Il Is remembered that II was
only a very short while ago that those or
us who are engaged in the canned-goods
business could secure cans at the rate OF
Sll per hundred, while now, since the
rise I'm the cost Of tin-plate, we are obliged
TO pay from 81 to $40 per hundred-there
will be no difficulty in understanding
the effect such additional costs are bound
to have on the finished canned-goods pro-
duct. 1t makes the Ieceptacles In which
our goods are packed cost us - per cent.
! more than they did but a very short while
| ago. Nor have we any positive assurance
that the price of tin-plate which Is the
guiding factor in fixing the selling price
! of the manufactured can, has yet reached
the summit of it's upward soarings. Al
/ ready has the tin-pate trust laid Its
magic touch on the canned-goods prices.
Ii has forced them TO a level 10 per cent.
higher than they Were fortnight ago,
| and IL is likely to drive them shaie
| higher even than they are at present. OF
! course as the original cost of the tin
plate advances IL is certain TO react on
| the tin-can, as finished and that tendency
viii necessarily penetrate on through,
until il affects our business
| There seems TO be no likelihood OF n
| rise in the price of canned articles on ac-
count of an increase in the price of fruits
and vegetables. The authority above
| quoted says on this point:
eve have very reliable Information
! which tells us that an abundant supply OF
both fruit and vegetables is in prospect
and that whatever may be needed can be
| procured at the average level of values
| We have authentic and scientiiically-m

That. however is not at all propaole'
II is stipulated i'm the treaty that the
ratification shall be, on the part of Spain
by her Majesty the Queen Regent II Is
understood, therefore, that ratification
will. be by royal decree, though the

the act.
II is true that It is unconstitutional
for the Spanish Government TO ALLEN

do that has already been passed. Hence
there is little reason to question tha'
