The New York market received $3.50 crates

evening" Tho fruit was soft, and buyers COM
Main that the Troths, though more firm and less
llsposed to rot than the Hale's, are dry and not
of GOOD flavor, and are small in size. The Craw-
ford's and Yorks were not III good condition.
Many retail buyers hold or altogether until
larls and juicy white or yellow SORTS come to
market, and these have only begun to arrive.
irhe quotations, yesterday ware given in our
teIe.rani-too low for any profit to the grower,
though the commission men say, and no doubt
correctly, that they can handle as many peaches

they are good and attractive fruit.
Of tho Baltimore market, yesterday, tho Sun
SAYS: There wero 5000 boxes OF peaches at
L.rht street yesterday, some of which were re-
co,yed on Saturday night. Those only brought
low prices, ranging from 10 to 20 cents per box.
Fresh fruit received yesterday afternoon sold
botter prices ranging at from 40 TO 70 cents por
box. Higher prices were paid for fancy lots.
They were of tho Troth, Old Nixon,
York and Crawford varieties principally.
ljth the packers and shippers were buyers, the
former only purchasing sparlngly as yet, how
ever. All OF the packers are preparing to engage
in canning, and orders from them for choice
fruit are in the hands OF the commission men,
Only few carloads OF peaches were sent West
ye-terday, but larger number will go out to-day.
and the indications arc that brisk trade will
be- done but the receipts, no doubt, will be equal
to ali demands, as has been the case since the
commencement OF this abundant season. Re-
uorts yesterday, from the West, where hfty or
more carloads of peaches were sent from Balti-
more on Saturday, were not encouraging. The
rut in many instances did not stand up well,
aud much Of it was marketed at prices that paid
little more than the freight.
The following were the shipments yesterday ;

This is probably the largest shipment of
peaches ever made from the Peninsula in any
one day, while the distribution is the widest in
range ever attempted With the exception OF
the Philadelphia Il Reading X. II. and the Amer
ican line to Europe, the above enumeration COM
ptises shipments to all markets worked up by
tho peach growers. 1t is the first tangible evi-
douce yet gwen of the effectiveness of the late
weekly meetings. and while it shows a respect
ful Difference on tho part of the transportation
companies to the growers 1t also inculcates les-
rUu on the advantages which accrue from mem
hcrship in tho Fruit Growers Association. To-
morow's report will probably exceed in extent

been increased to twelve.
