The jam trade of Tasmania appears to be flourishing. A late Hobart Town paper says that last season 600 ‘ tons of jam were made, all of which were exported prior to the commencement of the present season. Thero- are now nearly twenty establishments in existence, turning out from 10 to 250 tons per annum. The total quantity of jam that will be made this season, on the southern side of the island, is estimated at from 850 to 900 tons, giving direct trade to nearly 300 people. The northern side will make, it is said, about 300 tons, the value of which, together with that of the southern produce, will raise the export trade of jam to nearly £70,000 per annum.
