rivals the oil fever In Pennsylvania. This will
prove the heaviest peach season ever known in
u's State, greatly exceeding the crop of "a,
when 900 baskets were shipped from this sta
Won on saturday, 81 cars on Monday, 40. On
Monday the prices In New York was MS low as

t''rmlly reduced no fear need be entertained for
Subsequent shipments.
