New York city annually consumes
about 100000 bags, or about 100000
bushels of peanuts. The market is con-
trolled by the Virginia stock. Last July
the report was current that this season
the peanut crop would not be more than
one-half as large as it was in 1889 or
1890, when it was, respectively, l,GJO,-
300 bags and 100000 bags. BY August
an average crop was reported Today
the story is to the general effect that tho
crop is not as large as last year in
other words, there is some talk Of "A
shortage in the Virginia crop The pea
nut crop of North Carolina, on tse other
hand, is predicted to be the very largest
in the entire history Of that state.
Last season peanuts were worth about
nine cents por pound; this year they are
worth four cents.-New York World.
