L DECREASE IN THE OUTPUT
OF OLIVE OIL IN SPAIN
Exports TO the United States for 1904
Fell On Heavily-Stiu Less
for 1908.

The olive oil production Of Spain ac-
cording to United States Consul Birch.
at Malaga, is on the wane. He reports
In October last as follows: After two
successive seasons Of almost unprece-
dented yields OF olives in Andalucfa.
the crop Of this province and of the
surrounding provinces has resumed or
dinary proportions Coincident with
the reduction Of the size Of a seasons
production follows as a natural Sc
Quence falling OFF in the expectation
of olive oil, though but 10 per cent Of a
seasons yield finds it's way into for
eign markets.
The crop of 1902 was the largest yield
or the past decade, IL being estimated
that 40,00O.000 arrobas (178,520,OO0 gall
lons) OF oil were pressed in the pro-
vinces Of Cordoba, Jaen. Seville, Ora
NADIA and Malaga Dry weather during
the period in 1903 when the olive was
ripening caused much of the fruit to
mature early and fall from the trees.
In this manner a considerable amount
of the crop was ruined, with the result
that the quantity of oil pressed in the
latter part of the year was approxf-
mately one-third less than that of the
previous year. and in almost, exactly
this proportion were the sales to Amer
lean houses decreased. A comparison
of consular invoice figures show the
exports to the United States for the
nine months ended September 80, 1908
and 1904, to have been as follows: 1903,
21.082 barrels. valued at s494. .633; 1904,
1928 barrels. valued at 1928. .3S7.
Prices vary but little from one year
to another. $50 per ton being the usual
figure. The olive oil exported from
Malaga Is Of the class used for manu-
featuring purposes and never for table
use.
Early advices are that the coming
crop. to be pressed In December. will
be to some extent smaller than the
past one. Hot and dry weather, in ex-
cess Of previous years, Is given as the
primary cause for this condition Rain
Is badly needed at this time to insure
q good crop.
