THE PE.ICH CROP.
One Million baskets This Year Against Ten
Millions Last Year.

The Delaware Peninsula, embracing three
counties In Delaware ana eight IN Miryl and. is
recognized as the fruit garden OF New York.
From eight OF these eleven counties the
supply OF peaches for this market Is chiefly
drawn. New jersey, too, finds here IN Arkst I;
but the shipments OF the growers IN that State
are heaviest late in the season, ana even then are
light Ia comparison with those from ths penin-
suli. Tue peach season opened here ABOUT ths
18th OF last month, and since that time over two
hundred thousand baskets have been shipped.
The first peaches in the market are the IL .ie's
Early the Iroths" and the Early YORK."
The shipments Of the latter close what are
known as mongolia kind Of peach not

season till about one week ago only about
the week ending yesterd' ~ the receipts averaged
nftY car 10 tds-twentY wave thousand baskets per
day. On Friday about eighty car loads arrived
In Jersey Guy. Fifty-egnt Of these were for this
market. ana tho rest vera through cara for Bos-
ton, Hartford. and Providence.

competition with New urk for the supply, aud
the eject Is 10 glut this market and lower the
price. Before the receipt Of tho Elry Yoras

variety IS ABOUT exhausted, aud shipments Oi Il

At this time last year peaches were selling Tor
twenty-five cents per basket, and the dai.Y re-
ce pts averaged over two hundred car loads
ABOUT sixty thousand bushels. hut the last was
an unprecedented year, the crop aggtegating
about ten million baskets, whie In ordinary
