The Jam Trade of Tasmania. — One of tlie articles to be most extensively exported this year will be jam, tlie manufacture of -which is just now giving employment to a large number of hands. The demand for all descriptions of soft fruit is much brisker than in preceding years, and prices are higher this season than last. It is almost impossible to estimate the quantity which will be manufactured at the various establishments, for it will depend entirely upon the supply of fruit offering. At a rough estimate, it is said that Messrs Peacock and Johnson will turn out about one hundred and fifty tons, Messrs Knight and Allen eighty tons ; Mr. H. Peakc, eighty tons ; and Messrs. Cress-well, Lipscombe, &c, larger quantities than in past years. The style in winch the article generally is got up, reflects tlie highest credit upon the manufacturers and the country, and while such superior samples can be shipped to the colonies, and sold at the rates now obtained, we see no reason for our neighbors to invest at all in the rubbishing article imported from England. A good proof, how ever, of tlie success of the enterprise is that the whole quantity made in the largest establishments last yeai", has long since been disposed of, and several tons of this season's produce have been already shipped away. We trust that the business will continue to be attended with equal success, and that it will be so we have no doubt, as long as it is got up in the present excellent style. Prices generally given by the manufacturers areas follows: — Easpberries 7d per lb., red currants 10s per bushel, black currants 12s, and cherries about 2d per lb. — Kohart Town Advertiser.
