This Is Due to the Fact That
There Has Been Very
Little to Can.
SUGAR PRICES TO SOAR.
ANTICIPATED THAT THE TRUST
WILL FIND THAT at NEEDS
THE MONEY" JUST ABOUT THIS
TIME.

The sale OF canning goods in Rich
very backward, owing to the fact that
there has been little fruit or other
canning materials on the market
Local dealers state that they do not
remember the time when so few tin
and glass cans were sold, as they have
up to the present time this year. The
canning season is just approaching
according to their statements.
Richmond housewives will be con-
fronted with all manner of hardships
this year, IL they get their usual
amount of fruits and sweet stuffs
canned before the season is over. The
chief Of these hardships, it is said, will
be a substantial advance in the price
Of sugar. Local dealers state that they
do not know definitely that sugar quo
tations will make balloon ascension,
but according to trade journals and
market quotations from New York,
they feel sure sugar prices will go
skyward just at the beginning OF the
canning season. A dealer stated Sat
urday that the prices would go up sim
ply for the reason the sugar octupus
has the power to boost the prices.
There is no sugar cane shortage or
natural reason why sugar should be
advanced, he said. and the prices
would go up to satisfy the greed of
the now very fat trust.
The prices of other canning mater
falls however will remain about the
same Quart glass cans will sell at
$1.15 per dozen while tin cans of sub
stantiaI make will retail at forty
cents per dozen.
New Corn Appears.
New corn of luscious variety has
made it's appearance on the local pro-
vision markets and is selling for
twenty cents per dozen. Home grown
tomatoes are also being sold at fifteen
cents per quart.
Irish potatoes are soaring in price
and unless they stop this very ordi'
nary eatable will be a luxury in Rich
mond.
New potatoes are now selling for
forty cents per peck while old pota-
toes are retailing at 80 cents per bush
ell. The cause of the high priced po-
tato is its scarcity. 1t was thought
that the storage crop would be large
enough to last, but was not the case
The new potato is helping to relieve
the potato situation however. 1t is
predicted that the crop of the sucu-
liant tuber in the South is small, and
retail dealers state that if the north
ern crop is any way like that or the
South. there will be potato famine
before next year.
The blackberry is the only fruit OF
this kind of which there is plenty. |
Kuth, the fruit man residing
east of Richmond, has an exceptional
ly large crop of blackberries and
states that the yield this year will be
immense. The prevailing rainy
weather although not liked by people
is pleasing the blackberry
growers as it is said to be the greatest
blackberry maturer. The late rains
have done much to make the late ber-
ry crop the success that it is.

Men at Work Res cuins the Metals.

After several fruitless endeavors.
the Selby Smelling company, of San
Francisco. have at last succeeded in
securing a method by which it is
hoped to recover the several hundred
tons of metal that melted and sank
to the basement Of the Selby shot
tower during the fire.
The Dwyer-Frickey Electrical com
pany has been engaged during the last
month or so in recovering the ores
through an electrical process. After
removing several tons of bricks, chan
nels were cut through the bed of
metal by forcing electrical heat of

FOR The RIELEMAN.
An Electric self-Registerine Target
Has Been Devised.

A target, for rifle practice, in which
the position of each shot is at once
registered on dial at any desired dis
lance, has been invented by Col
George A. Peters, of Toronto, Canada.
The advantage of the device is that
it avoids the cost of constructing a
mantel for the protection of the mark
ers, and saves the heavy wages bill
involved with ordinary balanced can
vas targets, which require two men
each for marking. The principle of
the apparatus resembles that OF the
ordinary hotel annunciator, the inn
pact of the bullets being received by
hammers behind the target, which
close electric circuits and thus regis
ter the results on the dial Says a
contributor to Engineering:
When the target is brought into
use, 1t is raised by means of suitable
levers worked from behind the target
