HIGH PRICE FOR
CANNED GOODS
Pack Reported Much Below
the Normal
JOBBERS HAVE SMALL STOCKS
Dealers North Say Prices of Canned
Vegetables and fruits Will Be
Higher This Winter as Result
of Poor Productive Season.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 24. (Special.— |
Now just the packing season for veg
tables and fruits is drawing to a close
those engaged in this industry in the
city and throughout the State are
summing up results and making com
parisons with former years. One one
point all agree. That is that this
year’s pack for the most part, is be
loav the normal and that prices for
canned goods will rule high during
the pi-esent winter and the succeed
ing spring.
It was pointed out that the jobbers
throughout the country are almost
bare of such stock. It is said that the
'“carry over” in all lines will be the
smallest for years.
This is true notwithstanding the
fact that such goods have brought
better prices during the past con
sumptive period than for several pre
ceding seasons. These jobbers are
now in the market seeking supplies.
The inquiry comes from the North,
East and West, the last named sec
tion sending in the most urgent ord
ers, so it is said, although tl.e Middle
West has made great strides <n the
canning industry, Indiana, Ohio and
lowa, in fact, rivaling Maryland and
Delaware m its output of canned to
matoes.
Despite this, however, those sec
tions have sent large orders to brok
ers and packers in this city for to
matoes and have ordered at full pric
es what they need.
Tomatoes oeing the most prolific
vegetable in growth, are, of course,
the largest packed. Maryland and the
Eastern Shore usually place on the
market annually about 4,000.000 cases
each case containing two doze" cans.
This is about 40 per cent, of the total
pack of the country, which is estimet
ed at 10,000,000 cases. The price for
three-pound standard stock yesterday
was SlVs cents a dozen.
This size and quality is taken as
the basis for fixing values, although
some inferior grades, known as No.
2 standard and seconds, sell lower.
This is a remarkably high price be
foie the packing season closes. It
has not been many years back when
the top grade sold at 60 and 65 cents
a dozen at this season of the year.
Buyers are eager to secure goods at
the prevailing prices, and the market
is what the trade calls '“strong,"
which means that prices are more apt
to advance than to decline.
A Humane Appeal.
A humane citizen of Richmond, Ind.,
Mr. IT. D. Williams, 107 West Main St.,
says: ‘‘l appeal to all persons with
weak lungs to take Dr. King’s New

helped me and fully comes up to the
proprietor’s recommendation.” It

BOOZE LAW IS GOING
TO HAVE A TEST
As Whether a Dealer Can Open
Doors Sunday.
CHIPPEWA, WIS„ Sept. 24.—(Spec
ial) —Whether a saloon keeper violates
the law in keeping his doors open
Sunday, irrespective of whether or
not he sells liquor on that day, is to
be .decided in the case of John Gallus,
which came up in the municipal court
here today. The charge against Gal
lus was not that he sold any liquor
on Sunday, but merely that the door
of his saloon was open. The case is
the first of its kind to be tried in Wis
consin and the result is awaited with
keen interest, particularly among the
temperance workers who during the
past year or so have waged a vigor
ous warfare against the saloons in
all parts of the state.

More Than Last Year-
Wonderful Values.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—" Every
day that frost hold off adds millions
to the wealth of the American farm
er,” said an expert in the Bureau of
Agriculture. This statement gives a
picturesque impression of the enor
mous value of farm products in this
country, and at the same time shoAVS
how much depends upon the weather
conditions.
According to the farmer’s calendar,
for instance, September 15 sees the
great corn crop at about its height.
If fine, warm weather follows, every
day adds to the value of the crop
yield and value. The sunshine of the
last week or tAVO means fatter pocket
books.
Definite and detailed reports on the
country’s crops Avill not be issued
until the last Aveek in November, but
enough has been learned already by
the statisticians of the Department of
the Interior to justify the prediction
that the total value Avill exceed eA’en
the stupendous figures of last year.
8,000,000,(100 in Sight.
In 1906 the total value of farm
products Avas $6,794,000,000. Official
.estimates of a preliminary nature
place the figures for this year at al
most $8,000,000,000.
The eight staple crops—wheat,
corn, oats, cotton, potatoes, hay, bar
ley and tobacco—Avill alone yield, it
is predicted, about $5,000,000,000. In
addition there are cattle, sheep, hogs
and fruit products.
The indications are that frosts will
be late this year, permitting the full
est development of the crops. From
preliminary reports hoav in hand the
yield of the staples is estimated as
follows:
Wheat, bushels 639,000,000
Corn, bushels 2,550,000,000
Cotton pounds 5,792,000,000
Oats, bushels 965,000,000
Hay, tons 42,551,000
Barley, bushels 151,363,000
Tobacco, pounds 569,000,000
If Frost Will Hold Off.
Discussing the outlook, Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Agri
culture said:
‘‘Every day that good weather pre
vails will increase enormously the
yield of the crops. Generally speak
ing, the crops have matured and are
ready for harvesting, but clear wea
ther and the lack of frost will fatten
the pocketbook of the farmers.
“Os course, everything depends on
the weather, Avhen the size of the
crops is under discussion. While the
weather has been normal, the crops
are someAvhat smaller than they were
last year. Every one knows that upon
the volume of the crops depends the
price of the products, supply and de
mand regulate this.
‘‘But unparalleled prosperity exists
in the country. The wage earners are
Avonderfully well paid, and they are
buying the finest cuts of meat, lamb
and they insist on having fresh eggs
and first-class butter. This helps to
increase the price of farm products.
"One of the most promising develop
ments of the year is that the finan
ciers of the east hoav understand that
the real source of Avealth is the land.
Strange as it may seem this has nev
er been understood before.
‘‘Eastern financiers are now borrow
ing funds from the Avestern farm
ers, AA’ho have earned so much money
that they hoav have large bank ac
counts. There is a plentiful supply
of money from this source, and there
will he no financial stringency unless
the farmers call their loans.
Big Crops and Prices.
“There is no indication that the
farmers Intend to do so. Big crops
mean big profits, especially Avhen
prices are high, and before the Aves
tern farmers will need the money
they have lent to eastern banks there
will be another crop, which Avill
supply them Avith all the funds they
require.
“These conditions will go a long
way in the direction of preventing a
financial stringency about which there
has been so much discussion.
“I do not share the views of those
who predict a money stringency and
financial disaster.
“Every sign points to a continuance
of the marvelous prosperity the
country now enjoys, and as the east
ern financiers appreciate more thor
oughly that the real wealth of the
country lies in the soil and cultivate
