PREoEpENrED WITH sINdLE RxoEprfoN-THE
WET WEATHER AND THE CROP.
Had not this wet spell OF weather come upon
the peach growers so inopportunely the ship
ments would not be immense But the fruit can
not be gathered. The rains drive the piekers
from the orchards. and the varieties now ripen-
ing are rotting upon the trees. Ihls Is conhheu,
for the most part to the Early forks, which are
now on but other varieties are measurably at
fected. The later varieties, however are unaf-
fected so far, and will, in all probability hold
out we'll
The shipments yesterday are the heaviest OF
the season. and with single exception the lar-
gest ever made. In 1871, 22S carloads were
shipped in one day, and this il the largest mum
her ever sent from the orchards in that period
of time The shipments to Philadelphia yestef-
day, (43 cArs) are the largest ever made TO that
city by rail. Should the weather clear up IN
remain as il now is, but il this state OF things
continues much longer the crop will be serious-
ly shortened. -,
Az the Shipments and prices are low. or the
condition Of tho Philadelphia market, Messrs, j,
Il. Il ID. II. Kenney, commission merchants at
92S North Water street, write Trade III fruit
for the past week has moved slugglshly. Inc
delay in trains and the bad condition IN when
the peaches have come into market. caused by
the heavy rains, have made prices rule low
Sales during the first Of the week were made at
from 50 to 80 per crate, closing ON Saturday at
81 to 81. 90 per crate. Apples aud pears, unless
OF extra quality, have sold lower-at from Toe
TO 81. .25 per crate. II the weather gets better
we anticipate better market and better fruit.
