may have to 'buy back some of their own 

 goods at an advanced price, or else import 

 American supplies, in ord«r to fill their 

 contracts. The Holding Company, repre- 

 senting practically all the canners, is badly 

 oversold. Opening prices the week before 

 last were $2.15 per dozen for 2% lb. toma- 

 toes, as against 95c for the 3 lb. size a year 

 ago. Contracts have already ibeen made at 

 about $1.35, and delivery has (been niude at 

 even lower prices in some cases. 



The extent to which the larger distribu- 

 tors demand delivery will determine the 

 outcome for the canners. The latter are 

 reported to be ibuying hack their own pro- 

 duct from wholesalers, at prices around 

 $1.50 per dozen. 



The deficiency in canned goods can be 

 filled from the States, but only at prices 

 that will reduce consumption so that it is 

 likely that not more than half the deficiency 

 will be supplied. These supplies will come 

 chiefly from Maryland, and prices are, to- 

 matoes, $2; peas, $1.75 to $2; beans, $1.50 

 to $2; corn, $1.75 per dozen. 



A later report says: "Retail buyers are 

 holding back in face of the extreme prices, 

 tut it is said that canners have actually been 

 buying back tomatoes from jobber? at $2.25 

 for 3-lb. tins, an<J $2.15 for 2% lb. tins." 



It has been estimated that the amount of 

 fruit shipped from the Niagara Peninsula 

 this season will come to 93,000 tons, valued 

 at $5,500,000. Peaches have the greatest 

 acreage, pears the lowest. Plum3 have de- 

 creased in acreage 48 per cent. In the last 

 6 years, and cherries have increased 21 per 

 cent. The increase in the acreage of peaches 

 since 1910 is about 20 per cent. 



The Beamsville Preserving Company fin- 

 ished the season's work on Nov. 18th The 

 pack is fully up to other years in all except 

 tomatoes. The shortage of potatoes and 

 other vegetables is agitating the people In 

 the cities, and they are blaming the market- 

 gardeners and farmers for the high prices. 

 Recent prices on Hamilton market were: 

 Potatoes per ibasket, 45c to 50c, per bag, 

 $2.25 to $2.50; carrots and beets per basket, 

 40c to 65c; onions, 75c; parsnips, 45c to 50c; 

 turnips, 30c; celery, per doz., 40c to 75c; 

 lettuce, 50c to 70c; cabbage, 75c to $1.00; 

 cauliflower, each, 15c to 25c; pumpkins and 

 squash, each, 10c to 15c; pears are 25c to 

 40c per basket, and apples, 35c to 70c.
