Despite the efforts of the market, 60
cent tomatoes cannot be bought and
there is now an apparent stand off with
some little activity at 621a. The out
look for future tomatoes is very poor.
The best offer, 65 cents, finds few takers
and unless the market gets stronger the
pack in Hartford will be smaller than for
many years. In the meantime, those
who do can will endeavor to make a
special reputation for their goods by
raising the standard to the highest point
of excellence. This county should be
competitor in quality rather than
quantity if our packers desire to sell
their output at living profit.
The January report of the receipts
from the first section of the Baltimore
and Bel Air Electric Railway has just
been prepared. The directors are much
grati6ed to find that a net balance over
operating is shown for this month, which
is the most trying one of the year in the
street railway business. In spite of the
fact that the heavy snow drifts tied up
service for nearly two days, and that the
weather in general decreased travel yet
nearly 5000 passengers were carried.
There has been a net balance over opera t.
ing expenses each month since the line
was opened, and the directors feel salts
fed that if so short a section can be
operated with such satisfactory results,
the completion of the entire line to Bel
Air UouId show much greater Dro6ts
