Railroad Peach shinments.

The shipment of peaches will prob
ably cease entirely this week. Tht
shipment over the Delaware railroad
for Saturday was 80 carloads, vester.
day 81. The greatest number re-
ported as shipped for one day was 32I
cars, on August 30. The total number
OF cars to date is $500. Averagin Q
6OO baskets to the car this would be
100000 baskets.
The railroads have shipped between
100000 and 100000 baskets and
there have probably been 1000. 600
baskets shipped by boat. In addition
TO this there were about ZOO. 900 has
kets killed by the storm, so the hest
estimate which has yet been made was
the one made by 1 N. Mills, of the
Delaware railroad, before the season
was opened when he said that the
crop would be about 7,O0O,OOO baskets.
The distribution of the peaches this
year has covered nearly the whole
territory lying between Toronto. Can
ada, on the north, to Richmond. Va.
on the south, and Chicago on the
west. The greatest number OF points
covered by the shipments was fiftv. on
August 80. "
In the territory named nine cities
have taken about 100000 of baskets,
vi these cities New Y ork leads with
$500, Philadelphia took about 587-
9OO, aOO, Boston, 244, 300; Wilmington, 15l'-

kets, making total of 1908, 400 bas-
kets.
. That other people have been beDe.
nted Is shown by the deposits in some

These deposits show that there is more
money in their vaults than for a long
time before. 1t is said that each of the
Dover banks has on deposit S75, 900
more In cash than they did this time
last year. This shows that the basket
makers and the shippers and incident-
ally the store keepers of the town now
nave more money than they did this
time one year ago.
