"This estimate shows that the excess in the tomato pack of 

 the United States for 1893 over that of last year is 33 per cent. ; 

 the excess in Canada is eight per cent., and for both countries 

 it is 32 per cent. ;> 



The pack of the last eight years has been, approximately, 

 the following : 



1886. 2,363,760 cases tomatoes 



1887. 2,817,048 "

Corn. — The canned corn pack of 1893 was very large. 

 The following comments and figures are from the American 

 Grocer. The figures for 1893 are under rather than over the 

 true amounts, as probably not all the returns were in at the 

 time the footings were made. "In our report of last year we 

 stated that a pack of 3,500,000 cases is barely abreast of con- 

 sumptive requirements. We adhere to that opinion. Any ex- 

 cess over that quantity, whether it be 100,000 cases, or 500,000 

 cases, left in first hands, puts the market in an unsatisfactory 

 condition. This year, under unfavorable trade conditions, there 

 are 700,000 cases beyond the annual consumptive needs of the 

 country. It can be marketed and sent into consumption, but 

 not without loss to holders. When associated packers perfect 

 a plan to regulate production, then and not until then can they 

 make corn-packing a profitable industry from year to year. 

 The game is in their hands, but so long as every packer oper- 

 ates upon his individual estimate as to supply and demand, the 

 advantage of the market will be with the jobbers and retailers. 

 It is certain that the preceding figurers are below the actual
