Big CAN TRUSTS
KNOCKOUT BLOW
Will Close About Forty Per
Cent. Of Delaware and
MARYLAND CanHcrieS

Delaware VIII suffer by the proposed
action of the tin can manufacturers
combine. Maryland and especially
Baltimore, will suffer also.
The action of the trust win result in
closing at least forty per cent. of the
Delaware and Maryland canneries.
Such Gamers will no longer be able to
obtain the credit for cans that they
have in the past. They viii have to pay
for the cans before they pack their
goods, and from 40 to so per cent. of
the country packers lack capital to do
this.
Moreover, the price of cans is now
80 cents per 100 more than it was last
Fall, and packers who have quoted
prices upon the belief that cans would
remain at the old rate will be subject
ed to a loss. A great many of the large
can factories in the cities will be
closed down.
Maryland made cans have been ship
ped everywhere throughout the United
States where canning is done, but the
plan Of the trust is to supply orders for
cans from the nearest factories. Thus.
Chicago. for instance, win fill orders
from territory adjacent to that city
and Baltimore which formerly shipped
thither, will lose correspondingly.
IN addition to the injury inflicted
upon the local tin can industry there
will be a loss of probably 25 per cent.
in the volume OF canned goods busi-
ness in Maryland and Delaware, in
Guiding a diminution in the lumber
trade, which has supplied the material
for making the cases.
