CANKERS 10 SELL TOMATOES AT LOSS
About 200 tomato canning factories in Southwest Missouri meet in Springfield to seek better contracts as the 1920 season proves the hardest. One third of a 700000 case Ozark pack remains unsold and firms warn they may close if no price readjustment is reached. Prices this year run around 15 dollars a ton with producers hopeful for next year. Another conference is set for February 9 and 10 in Springfield.
