INCREASE FOR
 COAST CANNING
Outlook for Present Year Is Reported to Be
 Most Favorable
By R. |. BENTLEY (President California Packing
 H1rAAra4tanN


 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-The wars demands for staple canned vegetables, peas. corn and toma- toes, were such that canning ca pacity was largely increased, so that subsequent to the war more goods were packed on all three commodities than could be dis posed of at profit.
 However, due to the increased wealth of the country, and the normal increase in consumption, all three staple vegetables are in a sound, healthy condition today.
 So far as fruits are concerned, raisins, prunes and peaches have been in state of over-production. T h situation has cleared O n prunes by reason of the failure of the European and northwest crops, and the market is strong and prices are good
 Raisins remain in the doldrums and present prices are below the cost of production In spite of ef- forts of Governor Young, the peach situation is not clear Fine quality and lew selling prices on canned peaches have resulted in heavy sales.
 A larger pack of Alaska salmon than in 1927, has moved well into distributing trade, and at lower prices. The pack of sardines to date. has heen slightly larger than up to the same date of 1927 Ship ments have been heavy.
 On the whole, the outlook for 1929 is most favorable.
