According to Henry W. Hoops, presi-
dent of the National Confectioners'
Association, people in the trade figure
the average value of the finished prod
uct, at the factory, at IS cents a pound,
so that the estimate of 500, 900 900 for
the product this year would mean an
output of approximately $4,000, 900
pounds of candy, or nearly sh pounds
per annum for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The amount Of glucose, paraffine,
cheap favoring extracts and various
leleterious substances used in produc-
ing this output can scarcely be guessed
at. According to chemists and health
officials paraffine is used even in the
most expensive of chocolates. This is
true to such an extent that the pur-
'hasers of chocolate candies annually
reat their digestive organs to several
ons of candies in this way.

Increase in Candy Consumption.
SEATTLE.


An example of the enormous sums
which the American people spend an
nually on Injuries is shown by the
statement in the Confectioner' and Ba-
kers' Gazette, to the effect that the
wholesale value of the candy output in
the United States for the current year
will exceed $1O0,O00,0OO The cost to
the consumers will run fully $3O,0OO,.
900 in excess of this sum, this repre-
senting the profits of jobbers and re-
tailers.
The manufacture of candies has been
increasing in leaps and bounds for the
last three decades until the total cap
of the finished product have reached
tremendous proportions.
According to the United States cen.
sus figures the capital invested in the
manufacture of confectionery was 49,.
4s6,s74 in 1880. This had increased in
1890 to $23, 326,799, in 1900 to $780,.
&c., 95 and in 1905 to $43, 1885, Os. The
cost of materials used has increased
from $17,125,775 in 1880 to $31, JIG,
629 in 1890, to $35,354,2OS in 1900, and
to $4S,S1O,342 in 1905. The census

finished product as $25,637 ,O33 in 1880
