More About straw berries.

THE cRoPs SHORTENED BY THE DRY WEATHER.
SHIPMENTS FROM SALISBURY, &c.
While in the upper part OF the State the straw
berry crop ia now about fully ripening, in the
lower part and over on the Eastern Shore the
season ia about closed 10 the vicinity OF Sails
bury the strawberry crop was cut short by the
drv weather, and not much more than half q
crop has been picked. Owing to the enormous
quantities of berries thrown into market every
day, prices have ruled 30 low that growers have
scarcely realized enough money to pay expenses
Tho same be said of the pea crop.
Commencing on May 26th. ending with June
18th. there were shipped from Salisbury alone,
264 961 quarts of strawberries.
The shipments during the remnlnder OF the
season will about run the total for 1873 up to
three hundred Thousand quarts.
In 1872 the total number OF quarts shipped
from this depot were $500, 80 that it will be
seen that the quantity of strawberries grown
this year is not IN excess OF the crop last year
although the area of acreage is double. This
may be attributed to the frost and drought, and
perhaps TO the fact that growers could not get
pickers enough. Evidently,if wo are to take the
quantity of berries shipped standard by
which 20 gauge the size oil the crop, IL is appar-
ent that our truckers have only realized about
half q crop this year. From this and the ruin
ously low prices realized for several heavy
shipments We deduct the conclusion that the
berry business has not been profitable this sea-
son. Indeed if growers can only como out
even they will be fortunate.

The White Sulphur Springs (sometmes called

resorts In West Virginia. During the summer
months the hotel IL crowded and often taxed to
its utmost to provide for the hundreds who an

opened In 1857 and the hotel which is now
standing was built. II is the largest building In
the South being over 400 feet long, and cover
ing more than an acre OF ground. In general
appearance 1t is much like an institution Of

lawn. well set in grass, through which run wind

extremity OF the lawn stand long rows of cot
