SERIOUS CHARGES.
May They Not Be Intended to Injure the
Sale Of California Fruit?

CHICAGO, July 21.-A special from New
York says: The absence of the usual sup
ply Of peaches from Maryland, Delaware
and the South affects the prices of all other
fruits. 1t has been many years since good
peaches could not be had at moderate
prices during the latter half of July. Now
it is impossible to get good peaches at any
price. There are some California peaches
of fine appearance in the market, but they
lack flavor to such an extent as to make it
almost ridiculous to call them peaches.
There lare few prematurely ripened
peaches coming from the Hudson River.
A grower in Maryland reports that his
entire crop consists of one peach from
5000 trees There will be no peaches from
Maryland Peninsula for the New York
market. The early apple crop is less chan
half of what it was last season and the
pear crop about one-fourth. Huckleberries
and blackberres are less abundant than
usual. These berries will, as a conse-
Quence, sell for twice as much as during
the same period last year. The scarcity OF
other fruit will doubtless prove a
blessing to grape-growers, who. will be
enabled to realize good prices for prob
ably the greatest crop ever grown in
this country. From all sections Of
the grape-gr0wing country nothing but
encouraging reports come. That is one
be cheap were it not that it must be us sub
stitute for so many other varieties Of fruit.
The raspberry crop has been light. These
berries may be had this week for about the
same price as last week. Blackberries will
be coming into the market for two or three
weeks more, but they will not again he as
cheap as they have been. Huckleberries
will last until frost comes, but mountain
berries and the seedless blueberry will last
only week OF two longer. There are q
great many California Bartlett pears now
offered by fruit-dealers. These pears are
pulled from the trees when they are about
half grown and put through curing process
in which sulphur fumes are used They
become yellow and bear some resemblance
to Bartlett pears in everything but TASTE
In this respect imagination must play a
lively part. There will be very fair sup
ply of common or cooking pears in the mar
ket this week.
The Earl Fruit Company sold at auction
to-day Bartlett pears at So 10 to IS 20;
peach plums. 95c TO So 90; Columbia plums,
81 90 to 81 65; German prunes, 81 70 to

The Mokelumne Hill stage-Robber Believed
to Be in Custody.
STOCKTON, July 21.-A young farm la
borer named Charles Brown, about "a years
of age, was brought to this city SUNDAY
night by Constable Dial of Lockeford and
Sheriff Cunningham and locked up on sus-
picion of being the man who robbed the
Mokeumne Hill and Valley Springs stage
last week. Brown has been working off
and on in the vicinity of Clements, in this
county, for several months, claiming to
have lately arrived in California from
Arkansas. He was away several days
last week when the robbery was
committed and returned to the ranch day
or two before being arrested. He says he
was in Stockton at the time Of the robbery,
but the officers believe they have enough
evidence against him to warrant them
in holding him for full investigation
of the case. Sheriff Thorne of Calaveras
arrived to-day and found that the prisoner
answers the description of the man he
tracked several miles from the scene of the
robbery. As the United States mail was
robbed, the reward for the man who held
up the stage is $1,000.

fruit region. but the absence of local and
foreign buyers there makes the ruling price
about 80 per cent lower than here. At
