Wilmington daily commercial., 1875-08-18
Total, ,....,.....

Twelve extra trains are out Oh the road again
to-day.
Our correspondents in Philadelphia advise us
that yesterdays receipts by boat were the largest
OF the season so far, and the market was full of
fruit. The character Of tile weather-both warm
and wet-frightens shippers OF and home mar
ket has been the only demand for the past few
days. Sellers have been, therefore, altogether
at the mercy OF the buyers and take up with al
most any offer. Better weather would be an
inducement to shippers and Il better demand
might be expected. Tho advice given in yester
day telegram would be well to follow for few
days-light shipments and only the best fruit.
The markets are easily cleared out with the wet
and warm weather, the fruit left unsold general
ly finds place in the Delaware. Not many
peaches, however. have been total loss III our
market. perhaps Monday being the only day any
have not brought something, though often not
profitable prices.
The Baltimore market, yesterday, was active.
About q, 900 boxes of peaches arrived at Lsht
street, and Notwithstanding this large quantity,
peaches which were fit to be shipped and used
by packers brought fair prices, Good fruit
sold from 40 to 60 cents box. A large quantity
was Disposed Of for 75 cents box, and packers
and shippers purchased choice yellow fruit at 81
and 81 % per box A large number of packers
and many shippers were among the purchasers,
the fruit coming III the market at present being
such as will " stand up" that s, not liable to
decay in u short time. Inferior peaches sold at
low prices.

The "Peach Market was absolutely full with

backed up to the curb all the way through the

sides these, 1923 baskets and i31 crates were re e
