The already existing fraternization be tween Russian and German soldiers at the front was urged on to tremen dous proportions, and after a few months of the Soviet regime, Russia had signed the treaty of ltrest-I,lf ovsk and was definitely out of the world conflict. Internally. Russian life was turned upside down. Factories were taken over-by the workers. Great eat a tea were confiscated by the peasants, who divided them nmonu themselves. The aristocracy sou Kilt any kind of safety it could find, and the middle c'ass. or bmt rgeolse, became special objects for the hatred of the masses. Free trade was abolished and In Its stead was established a system of aovernment control that rationed food, placing the worklnu men In preferred classes, and. doling out IIL-.

Still an other encouraging factor Is the in creased foreign demand for canned goods. Germany recent ly has ab ! sorhed a very considerahje quantity of American canned products, al though much of this -business is un ; derstood to have been placed on condition that information regarding , it he kept secret in view of t he fact that payment was made in dollars. [The orient also has been a consist ent customer recently, but the trade with England has dropped material ly. This is attributed to labor un rest and unemployment. Predictions that the carry over I from the 1 9 2. 'J pack will u'l be dls 1 posed of before next July, however. | are based by most emitters on th" fact that American jobbers and re tailers have abandoned hand to mouth buying policy, characteristic of their operations early in 102!!. The California canneries, which Inst year packed 19.152,421 cases of fruit and vegetables, are beginning this, year with approximately 2.r. percent of tills amount on hand. The^ruit pack, which was about 1,000.000 cases under that of 1022. moved , more slowly than the vegetable pack. ! which was a million cases laryr than that of last year.

Demand for crushed i pineapple already Is showing brisk ness. While the weather this winter will have a decided effect on the size of fruit and vegetable crops In some sections, this will be rounterhalanced by favorable growing conditions in other territory, and. all In all, the canners are favorably situated as r? yards raw materials. The i; ii I tod States, it is estimated, will require about 5,000,000 tons of situnr this year but there Is every indication that the beet sugar and Louisiana cane sugar production will be extremely heavy and there Is no anticipation of extreme fluctuations In sugar prices.
