has been made to sell the goods in
any quantity over here, the cost be-
ing perhaps too high, but they are
certainly not on the market. Prae-
ticaIly everybody eats something of
this sort for breakfast, and great
quantities OF, eurrant, blackberry
strawberry, orange marmaIade and
other preserves are thus consumed.
One might suppose that with the
size this industry has reached in the
United States it; would be reasonable
to expect at, least some American
goods, but everything is English,
with occasionally some German
goods. If we could succeed in d.
verting this trade, we would gain a
market with great buying capacity
and one which is certainly worth
capturing.
Favorable Market for Dried Fruit.
When it comes, to dried fruits the
American product again makes bet
ter showing, but one which could
easily be improved upon. Prunes,
apricots, peaches. pears and other
orchard fruits are found, but they
do not hold the dominating position
which their quality should insure
them. Arizona dates are now well
known in many countries and COM
pare well with any others. Califor-
MIA figs have no equal for quality
and have an enormous sale. but those
things can not be purchased here,
