Other Senators will follow Mills on

Of speakers has not yet been fully

NOTHING IN THE PEACH CROP.
SO Say the Growers. Although the Yield
This Year Was the Largest Ever
Known.

This Year Was the Largest Ever
Known.
There now seems to be but little doubt
that Delaware has raised more peaches
this year than ever before A conserva-
tive estimate shows the crop 20 have
reached the enormous sum OF nine mil
lion baskets. The early fruit was Of
much better quality on account OF the
dry season. IL went to market in good
condition, in only limited qualities and
brought good prices. Toward the last
the supply has been abundant and the
demand limited. This week will close
the heavy shipments.
The growers have a long list OF com.
plants and they say that II Is now i'm
possible TO maze any thing out Of the
peach crop. They contend that the
railroad company did not furnish enough
cars TO move the fruit properly. That
what were furnished we're dealt out by
the agents to a favored few Then they
claim that the poor telegraph service
afforded peach shippers on the line Of
the Delaware railroad has caused the
loss Of hundreds Of dollars worth OF
fruit, aud lot Of worry and inconyen.
ANniN AuMA htNNA MAANN WANuINA
Shippers cite instances too numerous TO
mention.
The growers are also growing about
the enormous freight charges. In sew
eral cases where fruit has been shipped
TO towns at a distance and where the
profit would have been large, the ship
pers have not cleared expenses owing TO
high freight rate, Much fruit was
blown oil by the recent heavy storms
which entailed great loss Thousands
Of baskets which were blown Of were
sold TO the stills for the small sum Of 10
cents per basket
The peach basket famine which has
been expected began at Bridgeville last
week. The demand for baskets became 50
great one day last week that the growers
stood by the basket makers and when q
pile OF twenty-five was made the grower
would give the maker a tip for making
them hurriedly and for not allowing an
other grower to get the pile.

.-HN l-feN 1NAcANA CNAaNo
NEW YORK, Sept As a result Of
the consideration of the ten dency Of the

is now believed that the lowest average
Of prices has been reached.
1t may be that certain securities OF
groups of securities may yet reach lower
prices. but if such proves to be the case,
their declines, it is believed, will be
due to specific and not general
causes. Bad news lost its force
in depressing values further. The

are now favorable rather than otherwise.
