Often one will wander why the lamp

Forty-three Mlllfon round of Frnlt nnd
Vegetable lojbe Tut l'p Unprece
dented Prospect In Baltimore's Orcat
Industry.
Tho Baltimore American says the
season for the packing trade Is now
about fairly opened, and the forty-odd
firms lu the city are quite busy. In
conversation, several prominent pack
ers stated yesterday that they antici
pated that an unprecedented amount
of fruits and vegetable would be can
ned during the next three months, and
that the trade generally would assume
proportions which would not have
been considered possible five years ago.
Tlie periodical strikes of tlie canmak-
ers are universally deprecated as liable
to drive business away from the city ;
and there appears to be a general de
sire for the establishment of a perma
uant "all-the-yettr-round" rate for the
payment of tlie eaninen, and thus pre
vent abuses practiced on both men and
employers. In consequence of the
recent strikes and ensuing scarcity of
cans, several firms have been com
pelled to obtain much! tie-made cans
from New Jersey, and probably by
next season the latter will be very
largely used. Last year, it will be re
membered, that owing to tlie great
scarcity of peaches the trade did not
keep pace with the growth of former
years, and the general product of the
packers was comparatively light.
WHAT THE PEACH PACKKH9 THINK.
The opinion seems to be that the
forthcoming peach crop will not be so
large as recent reports would lead one
to suppose, t all the packers uniteiu
predicting a crop large enough to meet
all reasonable demand. Peach ts will
lie cheap and plentiful and of good
quality, but no "gluts" are cither:
anticipated or desired. Tills stale of
aiiairs will be even more profitable to
the growers then if they secured full
crops and then had to bring the fruit
to overstocked markets. Judging in
the llvvht of past seasons, the number
of po.'.clies to be packed this summer
In lii'Mniore will he about. fiOti.OOO
eases, or 14,400,000 caBs, weighing 4:!,
2u!),nijo pounds. This enormous
amount, which by some is considered
much too low an estimate, has never
been equaled before in Baltimore, and
may be tittributcd to the growing prof
its to the t ratio find tho consequent
rapid increase of facilities. Since last
summer seven or t ight new packing
houses, some large and some rnnal!,
have been established, and are now in
active opcr.il inn. 'J lie packing of to
mr.loes is not carried on so generally
as in forme-years, as it lias been found
more profitable to establish the pat
ing nouses in the country, near tlie
growing regions, and thus savo cost of
transportation.
I'KAS, KTK1NO IIKAXS ANI PHATIS
are also largely canned, particularly
the former, of which it Is estimated 2,-
0011,000 cans have been put up this sea
son. Tlie packing of peas has been
found highly profitable, and all the
firms have made a large increase in
their out-put in this line. Of hiring
beans about 800,U(H)cans w ill be put up
at various intervals. '1 ho packt rs, as a
rule, only can litem when they tire un
able to obtain other vegetables or
fruits. There is some complaint in
tills particular about the habit of some
of the firms of buying the beans in
large quantities and putting them
away iu salt until they can lindUmelo
can them. This process is in bad
repute, as it destroys the flavor of tlie
vegetable entirely. Of pears there will
be possibly p)0,0)0 cases put out; and
thus on all shies a general and highly
flattering increase of business is antici
pated. jvhi:n Tnro rasoxs nwax,
Tho packers' season for all fruit and
vegetables of course varies, from the
market season, as it would not pay to
buy either the first or last lots of goods
for canning. The putting up nf peas
was begun about tlie middle of May,
and litis just about ceased, the greater
quantity of the work having been done
during June String beans are now
being worked with great rapidity, and
and will continue to be tlie chief arti
cles canned until tlie peach season
opens, about August l'.'th. Then the
great rush will commence, and all the
establishments will lie run far into (lie
.night in order to put up all the fruit
possible. Tlie average price paid for
peaches to pack is about 1 per box of
one bushel, but the rate often falls be
low, or nearly doubles on these figures,
according to the grade and state of tlie
market. The season for peaches runs
until about September 20ih, although
the fruit has been canned in this city
iu October. During (lie winter, of
course, the great establishment are
engaged Willi oysters. The market
for Baltimore canned goods Is very
general, as the fruit lias a first-class
standing throughout tlie New Eugland
and western states.
. WHAT TIIH WOKKMKJf EARS.
The question of earnings among the
great army of working people In tlie
various establishment!! will bo found
oi singular Interest us showing the
importance of the canning trade with
reference to tlie city's prosperity. In
tlie forty establishments there are em-
employed probably 14.000 'men,
women and children, and it is not tlie
fault of the packers that tho number
docs not aggregate 125,000. The men
(expert workers) frequently earn
from $10 to fl5 per week, while the
women and girls make from $4 to $8
in tlie same period. In cases where
whole families go into tlie packing
house and work conjointly with a
common interest, however, tho re
lnuneration becomes unusually high
for tlie laboring classes. Frequently
the father, mother, son and daughter,
the latter two being children, will
work together, aud In a week will
make between $40 and f 50. The books
of the packersshow thee e flgurep.ind iu
Kitne cases thewamount Is even greater
The earnings depend solely upon the
skill and industry of the worker, and
It Is easy to see that close application
could not fail, to bring satisfactory
results to the inost Ignorant worker.
There Is not tho least difficulty In ob
taining work at tlie packing houses.
Anybody, white- or . black, native or
foreign, male or female, adult or child,
has only to ask, and work will bcglvcn
for two or three months at least. Tlie
packers frequently have great trouble
in obtaining hands, and some of the
less reputable firms have been known
to entice away tho workmen of the
rival houses, in order to secure tlie
much-needed addition to their Inade
quate forces,
WORK VOli THE RITPSIAN RKFl'QEIM.
About one hundred or one hundred
and fifty of the Russian refugees
recently arrived at this port have found
employment lu the various establish
ments', and are giving much satisfac
tion to their employers. They display
much skill and industry, and are earn
ing from $6 to $10 per week each. Ir
they are economical they will thus be
able to save a little money and obtain
time iu which they can look around
for some permanent employment. "In
short," remarked a well knowu packer,
"you can say that there is no reaon
why a beggar should be seen on the
streets of Baltimore iu summertime
They have only to come down here,
and we will give them work which
they can easily learn, and which will
pay them good wages."
