Week in Calgary Fruit Trade Sees Slim Demand and Surplus
A Calgary market report notes dull movement of fruit this week with many consignments arriving soft and mouldy. Prices slipped after expectations of tighter seven year supplies, while berries suffer from heavy jobbing, shortages of good stock persist, and cherries and Saskatoon berries begin entering wholesale channels with limited crop quality. A carload of apricots from Washington is expected, and new greens are arriving by express.

White Burley Tobacco in Canada
Bulletin from Ottawa outlines the history and impact of White Burley tobacco in Canada. It notes its discovery in Ohio in 1866, spread to Essex and Kent counties, and intermittent expansion to Prince Edward County. Production rose from millions of pounds in 1911 to about twenty million by 1920, with duties shaping recent growth. Kentucky remains a leading producer, and markets extend to Europe and the U S.
