MARKET ovKRsmcKED.
Supply Of Corn and Tomatoes Largely
Exceeds Demalad.

Farmers from Maryland! and Virginia
who had quantities Of corn and tomatoes
In market this morning dsplored the fact
that there was not canning factory near
this city where they could dispose OF their
produce. The market vas gautted with both
vegetables and the supply was far in ex-
cess of the demands. Last year corn and
tomatoes brought good prices all the sea-
son and growers PUT in seed for large
crops this year, expecting another harvest.
Many of the farmers werevglad to dispose
of their toma toes this morning for 10 cents
bushel, and some of 1hem went down as
low as 10 cents. before the market closed
for the day Corn was as low as 5 cents
a dozen and the stock was Of the best.
washington is one of the best tomato
markets in the country" one Of the grow
ers remarked to a Star reporter, land a
canning establishment here would certainly
pay we'll. 1t would pay both ways. Farm
ers would be getting more money for the
tomatoes, and the promoters Of the enter
prise would certainly get good interest on
their investment.
Corn" he added. could also be canned
TO a better advantage here than in some
other sections Farmers about the vicinity
Of this city are able to raise first-class corn
as well as tomatoes, and under ordinary
conditions there would be no shortage in
the supply for big canning establish
ment.'
