ADVICEs from Wilmington, \. Y, state
that a careful survey of the peach-growing
sections results in the conclusion that
about 100000 baskets of peaches will be-
shipped from various points of shipment
on the peninsula. There will be at least
80 per cent. more fruit consumed at home
bv driving establishments and canning fac
forbes than last year, and it is safe to esti-
mate the home consumption at 5000 bas-
kets If fruit will be as remunerative as
last year, the peninsula will be over ST.
100000 richer by the crop. There is,
however, this difficulty, that there may
not be a remunerative market for any
thing like the entire crop.
