Damage, Direct and Indirect, to Crops
and Fruit,

The far reaching and disastrous results OF
the long and general dry spell are but par
tially appreciated in town, where the prin'
clpal inconvenience is the high price OF
everything in tho way Of produce, vegetables
md fruit, In some articles the increase Of
prices In the last fow days Is material. For
instance, at present tomatoes nFe 10 cents q
ouassttar Of a peck, ranging from 10 cents to
Slby tho bushel. Lass Wednesday they re-
tailed at 30 cents n bushel. Potatoes have
also become n luxury only to DO had by the
millionaire, ThDy now bring 81 % ut whole.

Sweet potatoes have advanced too, and now
sell ut 30 cents a peck. Corn sellsat 10 cents,
about the same rs for several weeks, the
drOutll having made 1t very higlRll along.
Cabbage has gone up, and ag0Od head costs
10 or Ii cents, according to size, Onions do
not iluctuate much In price. They ran be
bought for ID centsa quarter peck or 90 cents
n peek, a fair average price. String beans are
still in demand at 10 cents a quarter OF a
peck. Carrots and beats sell az 8 cents q
bunch, and the latter are scarce. Lima beans
sell at two quarts for q quarter.
In fruits, apples have been quite scarce this
week and have slightly advanced In prices.
They IRE In good demand at25 TO 80 cents a
peck. Peaches are plentier than for some
time past, though they arp not Of as good
quality. Ordinary fruit Beils at 30 cents u
peck, and the price ranges ~ high 'Rs : for
better qualities. Pears are about done. The
eastern bartletts are now abont the only
variety TO 10 had, and sell readily OF IS cents
q peck. The melon season Is winding up. A
few ordinary water melons arc loft, and sell
at 10 to IS cents, and G%a1telapes are still
scarce at about the same prices. Plums still
keep high, damSOns selling at 81 10 81 Is u
peck. Ounces arc beginning to appear and
sell from 30 cents TO 81 n peck.
The dry weather has made grass so scarce

II Is that the very lnditfbrRnt butter now to be
found in not large quantities In the market

Of such great convenience to the public, and
the changes and improvements made in this
department so radical since It's Introduction
in this city, that II would be adlticult matter
indeed to surmise how We could get along
without It.
IlThe business of the POstoficC has been in
