Tomato canning is regarded as the lead
ing industry in the counties in Virginia be-

considerable portion Of this output comes
to this city to meet the demand OF the
washington housekeepers. This season, It
ts stated. not more than half the canneries
are in operation, and those that are run
ming are unable to obtain a supply of the
fruit sufficient to keep the hands at work
half the time
Much Of the stock brought to the factor
les Is watery and unit for packing, owing,
IT is stated, to the continued rains and cool
weather not allowing the fruit to ripen
properly, so that the outlook is that canned
tomatoes will this fall be both scarce and
high priced The conditions that prevail
on the lower Potomac in Virginia ALSO pre-
vail in the tomato packing sections of
Maryland and the neighboring states
Many benches of produce dealers in the
Center market were without any tomatoes
this morning, something unusual, the deal
ers not even having as much the supply
for the winter trade during the cold wealth
er.
There is no money in tomatoes when
the wholesale dealers are demanding So a
box for them" one Of the dealers said to a
Star reporter. THAT was the price this
morning, and refused to buy because l
knew l could not get that much for them
They are even higher than good peaches
and three or four times the price of apples
l have been in business many years. but
never before at this season have l seen
tomatoes selling at the price that is now de-
manded for them"
