THE PEACH TRADE IN NEV YORK
AND BALTIMORE.

THE FRUIT BETTER-PRIcEs ON wEDNEs-
DAY.
The receipt of peaches in New York on
Wednesday were lG7 ear loads by the p. W.
Il B. R. R., 5 car loads by tile n. j. S. R.R.,
1900 by the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany's steamer from Lewcs, Del, 1 car To-
cal, making in all 17s car loads. Since the
season opened, 3,%0S car loads, or ], 1854 600
baskets, making on average of nearly. 3d.
600 baskets per day for the past AZ days, have
been received. The supply Of baskets is
great, but very steady demand prevents
any serious accumulation. There would be
no surplus If all the fruit was in prime con-
dition- Crates were very dull. Shippers
generally buy from receivers of baskets, as
their orders require or speculative ideas
prompt, and pack in new crates. The sup,
ply includes Raceripes and extra large late
Crawfords. Some of the latter are very
handsome. Not many years ago such speci-
mems could only be seen at fruit exhibitions,
while this season it will be no unusual thing
to see them piled up on the commission
stands. All of the pickings run true-that
is, the crop is SO heavy that there is no time
to !s'face" or "top Off" packages. This is an
advantage to buyers. Morristown, N. j.,
stock is arriving in a moderate way, and
sells about as well as Delaware fruit; in some
instances it does little better, as there is
not the same hurry required to ship It as If
the other State, and consequently It arrives
properly ripened.
In Baltimore there were 10000 boxes of
peaches at Light street yesterday, all of
which were sold at good prices. No fruit
brought less than 50 cents, and in the after
noon prime stock was wanted at 81 .25 per
box. Yellow peaches, of late Crawford and
smock varieties, sold at. from so cents 10
sl.l5 and red fruit from 80 to so cents, ship
pers and packers were free buyers.

a flame burst out and entered the spout
Of the can, then over the stove, and the
consequence was an explosion, driving
out the bottom Of the can directly toward
the young lady and setting fire to her
clothing, which was light and infamma-
bic. Terrified by the explosion and the
danger to her person, she ran out the side
entrance into The street, screaming as she
went, and stopping a moment there was
seen by two or more persons who went
quickly for water. Her screams were
also heard by those in the bakery Of Mr..
Adam Arnold, whose house fronts on Me-
cIlanic street. and as Mr.. Daniel Arnold,
young man, son OF the proprietor Of the
bakery, and employed there, opened the
Valley street door, Miss MOrrissey ran
to and seized him about the arms or
waist. His arms thus coming in contact
with the flames were burned some, but not
seriously. BY this time nearly all the
clothing was burned of the unfortunate
woman, and one Of those who had first
seen her in the street arrived with buck.

head, cxtinguishing the fire in her hair
and also the burning clothing yet remain

moved to the residence Of the family.
Nearly all the entire body Of the young
lady was shockingly bnrned, aud her
mouth and throat were also much injured
by inhaling the flames. Several physi'

possible given for her relief, There was
no hope expressed by the medical men Of
her recovery, although at latest accounts
