	Ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word ton or tonne is derived from the Old English tunne, and ultimately from the Old French tonne, and referred originally to a large cask with a capacity of 252 wine gallons, which holds approximately 2100 pounds of water.
		As a displacement ton the long ton is normally measured as the mass of 35 cubic feet of sea water.
		Both the short ton and the long ton are composed of twenty hundredweights, each having different values for the hundredweight (100 and 112 pounds respectively).

	Short ton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The short ton is a unit of mass equal to 2000 lb (exactly 907.18474 kg).
		In the United States it is often called simply "ton" without distinguishing it from the metric ton (or tonne) and the long ton —rather, the other two are specifically noted.
		Both long and short tons are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is 112 pounds (which is equal to 8 stone) in the Imperial system (long or gross hundredweight) and 100 pounds in the US system (short or net hundredweight).

		The figures are based on national price support levels of $678.36 per short ton for quota peanuts and $132.00 per short ton for additional peanuts.
		The quota support level by type for an average grade ton of 1995-crop peanuts will be: -- $673.99 for Virginia-type peanuts; -- $682.74 for Runner-type peanuts; -- $636.45 for Spanish-type peanuts; -- $673.99 for Valencia-type peanuts from the Southwest area which are suitable for cleaning and roasting; and -- $636.45 for other Valencias.
		The factor represents the ratio of the $132.00 per short ton national support level for additional peanuts to the $678.36 per short ton national support level for quota peanuts.
