ginning to be thronged with apple buyers from
the Eastern and Northern cities, and before the
end of the first week in September tens of thou
sands of barrels will have been contracted for

orders are being solicited for delivery in Buffalo,
Albany and other New York cities.

5000 to 10000 melons each to market, will this
year ship but 500 to 1000, and many patches
have failed totally, entailiDg heavy loss. Usu-
ally $4,000 melons go to Wheeling in one season.
