Canning: Fish canning moved into peak activity during the third quarter of 1960 as large supplies of sardines and alba- core tuna provided raw material for the two principal prod- ucts of the Galician canning industry. Albacore tuna was less plentiful than in 1959, which had been a poorer year than 1958; prices at first sale during the quarter averaged more than 17' pesetas per kilo (US$ per pound), substantially above the third quarter of 1959. Sardines, while plentiful, were very small, with large quantities reportedly smaller than the legal minimum of 11 centimeters (approximately 4 inches). How- ever, canners bought them for lack of larger sizes and at a price that compared favorably with the prices paid in Unloading sardines from tile hold of a Spanish sardine auxiliary craft. Canners purchased 5,085 tons of fish during the third quar- ter of 1960 as compared with 6,575 tons during the same quar- ter of 1959. This represents about 25 percent of the total catch for the quarter as compared with about 30 percent in 1959. In addition to the increased price of albacore, the canners encountered higher costs for olive oil and tinplate. Do- mestically-produced tinplate increased in price by 15 percent from August 1959 and up 56 percent from 1957. Canners attributed these increases to the excessive protection provided by the new duties promulgated in June. Duties on imported tinplate do not affect canning production for export since the canners enjoy the system of temporary admissions for tin- plate to be re-exported* Production for export accounts for approximately 30 percent of national production. Olive oil prices which were at pesetas per liter (38 cents for about gals.) last year are c
