THE DELAWARE fEAcH CRoP.-The e
fruit growers of Delaware held a meeting
on Monday, at Dover, at which the
prospects of the peach crop were discus
sed. 1t was agreed that tie buds in
Southern Delaware and counties 10
Maryland of same latitude, or farther
South, are almos: entirely killed, having
been in full bloom at the time of the
sharp frost of the llth and 18th OF
April. In Middle Delaware the early
varieties are generally safe. North of
Dover tie crops are still promising, and
in Newcastle county, including some Of
the best orchards of the State, the buds
OF all varieties are substantially uniojur
ed. The prospects. therefore, up to this
time, isl good for an average crop, and tn e
growers estimate it at 1000, 900 baskets
which is probably too low figure.

A MOVEMENT in the oil regions for a

ninety days has been entered into with
sufficient unanimity to augur excellent
results. Such movement should have
Been entered upon long ago. For more
than year the petroleum markets of
the world have been glutted, and the
product has been selling at a ruinously
low price. Nintey days ofnonproduction
will s,iffen up prices for time and re.
lieve the depression now prevalent
throughout the oil country. Of course
its effect cannot be permanent, and the
stimulation of the advanced prices will
produce another period Of excessive
overproduction--but shutdown seems
better than no remedy at all for the
serious evils which have SO long afflicted
the oil trade.-Erie GaSete.

THE REGISTERED LETTER BUSINESS
On the first of January the Postmaster
General reduced the rate for registered
letters from Is cents aud the regular
postage to 8 cents and the postage
Since that time the business has increased
over 100 per cent, the average Increase
in large cities being from so to rs per
cent. The present rates compare very
favorable with those Of England, al
though there are many difficulties in
this country not to be met with in the
smaller and more thlckly populated
counties of the Old World. The last
annual reports show that in Canada the
loss in registered letters and packages
was ll2; in Great Britain 20, aud in the
United States 400. If the increase Of
business continues Throughout the year
five million registered letters will be
sent, against two-and a-half million last
year.
