The chief interest of the tnrongs OF people who
visit the different city markets III these carry Hop-
tenber DAYS seems to centre about the attractive II
NOT abundant DISPLAY of their stock made by the
fruirsellers Peaches especially come IN for good
o.al of public attention. Good peaches are scarce,
thsy sell readily, and many dealers say there Is q
demand for twice the supply. 1t is Impossible 10

country wagons in such way that no exact hgures

of apples will contain dozen crates OF peaches
sandwiched in between the apple crates. Inc
quality of the fruit last week was poor. Deiaware

the market and cost 81 and So 80 basket. Rare

from the growers trees and comes from mp tho
Hudson and from Northern Ncw-Jersey. Persons
who buy such fruit for their own domestic pur-
poses invite cholera and death into their families.

and varied display OF plums. damsons, apples
nears and melons give convincing proof of the pro-
ductive capacity of the glorious climate of this
country. Rebeccas and Salems-said to be the
