TARIFF MAY AID
PRICE OF CHERRIES

The new cherry tariff of four cents
per pound. announced by Senator Nc
Nary. will, in the belief Of G. W. Nc
CulIagh. help to keep the price OF
cherries at higher level the coming
season. as il will prevent heavy i'm
portations of brine stocks Of foreign
countries used for Marsschinos. While
Mr.. McCullagh does not look Tor a
repetition Of the sensational prices Tor
fresh cherries as paid last summer. he
does not contemplate drop back to
the old pre-war level of four and i've
cents per pound. Indications now
point. Mr.. McCullsgh saws, to a price
of about eight cents per pound
Mr.. McCullagh. too, believes that
eurtailment of imported white Mara
schino cherry stock may result m more
black cherries being thus purchased.
A light Maraschin0 cherry Il demanded
for salads and other similar purposes.
But a heavy percentage Of the fruit is
being used In candies. The black
cherry would be just as suitable for
su-h purpose as the lighter eolorei
fruit.
