GAINS CONTINUE
IN NFROzEN FOODS
1888 Sales Likely to Rise
Further as New Firms :.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Retail sales
volume Of frozen foods FOR the fur
year 1887 is estimated at $4,000 900
by Dun & Bradstreet. According to
the same survey sales are likely to
be extended in 1888 by the entry OF a
number of small producing concerns
for localized operation.
Another "once-over" Of the grow
ing frozen foods market finds that
between 1000 and 5000 retail stores
now handle such products, chiefly In
New England and the Middle Allan
tic States. 1t was in a Massachusetts,
town that the first ambitious test Of
retail distribution possibilities was
made or 10 years ago.
One Of the largest producers of
quick frozen foods is credited with
having about three out of every four
outlets through which those products
are now being sold at retail Average
sel les per store are estimated at about
s62 per week, with $50 per week a
profitable level for both the store
and the packer
Viewing freezing as preservative
process. it is interesting to find that
about so per cent of the cranberries
left after last Thanksgiving went into
sharp freezing" cold storage. The
American Cranberry Exchange put
them away for use by Gamers this
year. 1t was the first time such a
plan has been followed on a large
scale. and the frozen berries are ex-
pected to be profitable investment.
Experiments have shown that cram
berries frozen for as long as 10 years
are just as good as ever when de-
frosted. 1t is expected that Gamers
will want some 250,00O barrels of the
bog berries during the next canning
season. Last years big carry-over
was partly due to a crop which ex-
ceeded any previous record by $4,000
barrels.
The idea having started with coffee
and later spread to other products.
consumers have grown accustomed to
packages which carry the date as
guarantee of freshness Now comes
food product with a date line to as
sure the consumer that it has been
sufficiently aged. 1t happens that
lamb, like beef-and also some varie-
ties OF eame-is more toothsome after
it has been hung" a certain length
OF time. That Is why one packing
company now stamps a date on lamb
carcasses showing the time Of their
entry into the cooler.
By-products of the fishing industry
have long been an important con-
tributor to profits in this country
such things. for instance, as fish
liver oils and raw materials for fer
tilizer, chicken feed and roof paints,
etc
Germany, according to latest re-
ports, is going even farther in its
fish economy. What is called Viking
eggs has put in an appearance in
the Reich. The latest substitute for
hens eggs is made from fish, and it is
expected to save about half the
800.000000 eggs used yearly by Ger
man bakers in the making of cakes
and other delicacies. One pound of
Viking eggs can be made from 80
pounds of fish and is said to be the
equivalent of 100 genuine hens eggs.
