American Canned Goods in Kngland. A reiu‘W(‘d effort is being made to enlarge the sale of cr.niu*d fruits and vc;g(*tabl('s in Enghuul, and if well di- n*<*ted it has good i)ros]iects of siicci*ss. according to a re(,‘ent statenu'ui from Uulted Stat(*s Consid Hr.inm of Hull. Attempts to place Amcrlcr.n cannc'd good.s on the foreign market often fail becati.se local conditions are not studied. National habits, custom.'; aud nctiuired tastes need to be closely ex amined and catered to. Says Mr. Ii;imin; One ('rror made by American exp'^rtcrs and especially in canncd go<(ds. is lu mis take quantity for (luallty. All l-]i!rojioar, people v.itli whom 1 liave bcconn: .;ic- (Muiiatetl hiive dlfCrront ideas on thl.s siit>- jfct from American.'’. 1'l;e ;ibun<:anr'o food product.s .‘io prevalent in tiio I iiitei; States does not rule here.

Another mistalie made b\" Aim rii'ap. <-.v- j)orters of c;in:;cd foods i.« to try to fore: upon the m;irket pi)od.« which n.itioi'iai habits and tastes do not demand. Many exporters seem to im;sprinf! that if the American p'-ople like a ceriain article of food Jill othrr people must like it and that if foreigners have not consi;med tiie foo(! heielofore the only thing nec(.*ssary to kci them to usy it i.-^ to Ijrinji it to their at tention. This is a wholly erroneous itlea. The consul cite.s corn as an example. The American trade for canned <;orn follows the frcH? use of green corn. Ouly an inlinite.simal nuinb(*r of Eng lish people have ever eat(*n green con;, and to try to fon'e canned coiai upon the Engli.<h market is a wa.ste of en- :SIr. Hamm sugg(*sts that fruiL< iu glass jars would be more attractive in show windows than tin cans, y(*t this form of display is rarely seen in Eng land. L;irge (juantities of fresh fruits :ire imported b.v England, but canu(*d go^ds come almost entirely from France and the T'nited States. Thi; country has the gre:iter abundance and Th(* b(*tter grade of fruitr-, and th(\v ni^ed oni.v to be placed before the Eng lish i)ub!ic hi the right wjiy to drive ;ill compeiilion out of the market.
