Word reached this city yesterday that
peaches and other tender fruits on the
upper Snake river have been almost to-
tally destroyed by freezing. II. M. Herrin
| & Co. received the following yesterday
! from leading grower at Lewiston:
Friday evening we had freeze that
| cut the asparagus close to the ground.
| Our weather seems very unreasonable.
| We are not able to promise anything.
Last week / could, thought. promise
/ nice supply of asparagus, and 5000 boxes
of peaches; now the asparagus will come
! in probably in few days, but peaches not
until next year. Our fruit here is very
badly damaged Peaches will be nearly
total failure. Early cherries and Bartlett
pears are badly hurt, but nothing else"
Nothing has been heard from the coun-
try lower down the river but it is believed
the fruit in that section has suffered less.
1t is not likely, however, that peaches,
pears and early cherries have escaped Sc
rious injury.
There was no change in the price Of
! wheat yesterday, but the market was
strong at 321s cents The mill at Marshall
which manufactures "Our Best" flour
! was forced to shut down yesterday, on ac-
count of running out of wheat, but will
start up again as soon as supply is re-
| ceived.
The price of flour has not yet been adj
Each mill is waiting for another to ad-
vance the price" said miller yesterday.
