MO VIE From tUeId amilton Spectator Net profit of Canadian Can- ners Limited in the year ended Feb. 28 was $395,748 or 84 cents a class "A" share, a slight de- cline from the $401,207 or 86 cents of the previaus year. Net sales, however. the an- nual report showed today, wjr e 5,7 percent higher. The years total was $47,374,042 compared with $44,817,600 in the year ended Feb. 28, 1959. In t.he directors' report, sign- ed on their behaîf by W. I. Drynan, president and R. G. Lucks, chairman, market con- ditions during the year were described as intensely compet- itive. This was the resuit af the bountiful crop year of 1957 and the excessive import af preducts carried on through 1958, the report said. Prici'ng in this competitive market mater- ially affected earnings of Can- adian Canners in the last year, it said The gain in sales was brought about by an aggressive mer- chandisîng and zýdvertising pro- gramn, anid -ain .:iii w;111e slightly lower xv.,e decd n the report, as "reasonably com- parable" with last year's The report notes that exporti sbipments w-ýre cansiderably higher than the previaus year "in spite of licensing imports cantinuing in the United King- dom and world market sales remnaining Most competitive." Canadian Canners stepped up its capital spending i the year te $1,599,014, against $1,- 072,670 in the previaus year. This spending was devoted tai the expansion, modemnization and consolidation of operating plants. a in 1958 were reduced to aupple- ment sales requirements only. XI the current inventory, thec report says, there was a mark- ed inorease in the value ai pro- ducts packcd in Canada under the Del Monte label. The cern- pany polîcy bas been since the affiliation with the California Packing Corporation ini 1956, te pack in Canada frein Canadian produce whcrcver possible goods formerly imported into Canada. Working capital of $14,383,089 at Feb. 28 at $1,134,281 less than the year before, due ta capital spcndung of $1,599,014, dividends of $351,103 and iund- ed debt reduction of $315,000. Prpfits on the sale of surplus properties, the report said, were offset during the year by ma- jor spending on closing unpro- ductive plants and transferring opecrations and equiprnent -te larger consolidated plants. The company expects benefits frein consolidation te be reilected in future operations. Canadian Caniners' new can rnanufacturing plant at Bur- lington is expected te be ready in tirne ta supply part ai the needs of this season 's peak packs. The campany plans major ex- pansion projects in 1959 in the Dresden, Kingsville and St. Da- viF*s grawing areas. The comipany is continuing, as part af the consolidation -rgarn, te seil surplus prQ- dcinplants and preperties. During the year ended Feb. 28. Canners Seeds Limited ceased ta operate as a wholly- owned independent campany. Its opeýration was absorbed into the parent organization. The repart notes that Cana- dian Canners Limited's subsi- diaries again this year madel 'a most worthwhiie contribu-1 tion ta aur earnings." Quarterly dividends an the class "A" common shares were declared and paid at the rate, of 104 cents-75 cents a year- ta a total of $351.103. This is the same rate as last year. The report said that the coin- pany had reduced its inventery $21603823frein last year's S28,020,583 and that the cur- rent inventory mainly was ba- sic r2quirements te supply tlhce trade until the 1959 pack.
