other car.

Apples are coming into market and
are being bought by Mr.. Carr, who seems
to be the only purchaser. The price paid
is $l.50 barrel, and it is said that that
figure is likely to be the limit. The crop
of the country is very large. New York
dealers who buy for the export trade say
that they must buy at SIPS barrel in
order to have it worth their while to do
business.
Fine specimens of Northern Spy APP
pies, grown on his place on College hill,
have been left at this Office by Mr.. James
Farrell. Mr.. l.. \. Skiif has our thanks
for handsome peaches and ounces grown
on his fathers place in Bridport, where
there was a crop of several bushels of
each fruit. Both kinds we're better in
quality than any of the imported fruit
which has been on sale at the stores here
this season.

house are practically ready for the roof
and 1t is said thht the machinery of the
pumps will be in readiness to place il
position when the building is prepared
for it.

The Blanchard portable buldin
T. works, which occupy the Upper mi
q and also the mill near the freight depo
are rushing business these days. On
large house, which is to go to New Jel
sey, is almost ready to be shipped an

it. New and greatly improved method

IS ployed and materially facilitate oper'
d tions.
