An agricultural balistin published at Batavia gives interesting particulary of the pineapple canalog industry at Singapore. The writer says that pineapple preserving is on the down grade there, owing to the fresh fruit custing the tinued article in Europe, and owing also to the keen competition of the Hawaiian pine.
