The traffic in Fruits, b2th green and dry,
continues annually to increase, aud it now
ranks rs quite prominent branch Of COM
mevce. Onf supplies come from EeN York,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Southern Illinois;
and ue distribute them through all the States
and Territories west and north of us.
The trade In green apples alone Is one Of
great magnitude. During the past year We
l,avc received 204, 7GS brls, against 1e4, ~ brls
ia 1859. By the: Michigan Central Railroad
alone, there were received o., IA b11s. and By
Lake, Sc, ,e55 brls. The market opened in jan

tG3.0O per brl but as the season advanced,
the stock WAS greatly diminished, anu prices
gradually stitIcncd, till in May prime apples
we're sold at Is. @9.O0 per brL In July the new
crop began to come In from Southern Illinois
and Indluna, and the market opened at s3,5oG
$50; but as the receipts increased the market
became easier, aud prices fell to S1.9092 CO.

received, aud we may safely say that never be-
,oae was the Northwest as well supplied with
this kind Of fruit 1T low prices, as at present.
: With regard to quality, the best fruit comes
from New York; but the State Of Michigan
also sends us excellent apples.
The Peach trade in its season WAS quite ez-
tensivc; but as the various railroads do not
recognize this fruit in their classification OF re-
ceirts, we n.e unable to state accurately the
extent ct the trade From the custom-housc
books, however, VIC tiud that there were re-
