Peaches.

The Smyrna "Times" says: Peaches
are on the wind up, the present varis
ty, "smock," with few trifiipg excep
tions being the last Of the season. The
shipments from Clayton on Monday
were six cars, yesterday five and they
will run down daily until by next
Monday there will hardly be enough to
fill one car. The prices the past week
have not been satisfactory--from so to
rs cents,-whers about double this
amount had been expected. The yield
of the Peninsula will Approximate d..
OOO, ,OOO--nearly double the estimates.
The net yield to the farmers of this

exceeding 40 cents per basket. Some
who had choice fruit will clear so cents
