EnqIand's Plum Pudding Industry.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-With the ap-
proach of Christmas, the plum pud-
ding industry of England-which so
far has not been called upon to repel
any american invasion other than
that made up of cuStOmerS-is in its
glory From London tons of festive
pudding find their way all over the
world.
One firm in Oxford street, among
the best known makers of plum pud-
ding, sell each Christmas about 25O
tons of the product, which, roughly es-
timated, amounts to nearly 100000
puddings. These are sent not only to
all parts of England, but also to Eng
lish people resident in Hong Kong,
Rhodesia, Australia, Canada and
other quarters of the globe. Former
" the duty of nearly 80 per cent. kept
the United States from importing very
many of the puddings, but since this
has been abolished the sales in that
country are largely increased and this
Christmas will see several thousands
shipped across the Atlantic, many of
them destined for points as far dis
tant as San Francisco.

CHICAGO, Dee. A hundred
