drying are much more extensive than in any
former year, as also are the preparations fer
transhipment from New York to markets
beyond. One canning house in Dover is
said 10 have received an order from q single
house in London for 4OO, 900 cans Dover
has been for number of years the center
and headquarters of the peach growing BUSH

Breakwater Railroad, by which a short
water transport was established between the
