OCTOBER
placed the new pecan crop at abou t 107,-
000,000 pounds, which is about 39 per cent
above the 1946 crop. The 1947 crop will
thus be about one per cent below the ten-
year average. Georgia and Oklahoma ac-
count for most of the big increase in pro·
duction, compared with last year; Alabama,
Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
report smaller crops than last year.
PEPPERM1NT
As distillation of the new crop got under
way, trade reports said it was quite evi dent
that prices would fall somewhat below pres-
ent levels. New York market centers sug-
gested that prices would probably level off
without large decreases from now on.
Weather interfered with distilling the new
crop in western Washington.
RAISINS
Most recent reports showed fair demand
for the remainder of the 1946 crop; growers
were still working to get government sup-
port for the new crop. Foreign raisin crops
were reported the smallest since 1931.
SPEARMINT
Mixed reports on spearmint, as on pep-
permint, came to market centers as the new
crop was ready for distilling. Outlook for
spearmint is less favorable than for pepper-
mint but price declines are expected on
spearmint as the new crop oil gets on to the
market in quantity.
SUGAR
Inventory controls on sugar ended August
30 and price controls are scheduled to go
October 31. Commercial users were not
buying much in August, but increased pur-
chases in September.
TOBACCO
Final government report on flue·cured
market season in Georgia-Florida area
showed a bumper crop of high grade cigar-
ette tobaccos, with the average price for the
season about five cents below 1946 average
price.
VANILLA
Few market reports were available at this
time. Users are still looking forward to the
Mexican crop in November and prices re-
main high.
A sidelight on the whole ingredient pic-
ture was recently expressed by a leader in
candy trade circles. Attention was called
to the fact that the cutting of census funds
by the recent C!,ngress meant that data on
ingredients that go into making candy bars,
soft drinks and other merchandise will not
be collected in 1948. Manufacturers of
candy bars especially are said to have ap-
pealed for data on the outlook for ingredi-
ents. Only official data available now was
collected ten years ago and is very much
out of date.
NAMA Hotel Reservations
CHICAGO-Hotel reservation forms for
accommodations at the Palmer House dur-
ing the NAMA convention, December 14·17,

man. Reservations should be made with the

it is expected that hundreds of non-mem-
bers will attend the convention. In antici-

carried a scene at a gas station, with a coin
cooler in the foreground.
Copy ties in "the pause that refreshes"
with the stop for gas and oil, but makes no
mention of vending, referring to the bottle
dispenser as the "familiar red cooler."
