NO PEACHES THIS YEAR
THE PEACH CROP THIS YEAR IS
PRACTICALLY A FAILURE.

Special Agent l. n Mills, Of the
Delaware Railroad Company, has COM
pleted the railroads estimate OF the
peach crop for this year, and it shows
that the crop is practically a failure.
Mr.. Mills has travelled throughout the
Peninsula and consulted the growers
so that the railroad company would
know how many cars were necessary
to move the fruit. His calculations
show that the crop will be 81 ,434 bas-
kets.
Last year was considered a very poor
year. yet the yield was about 200, 900
baskets, and 1896 was another poor
year, but the crop reached a total OF
nearly 100000 baskets. Four or five
years ago the crop reached upwards OF
100000 baskets. The trouble this
year is the circulio, a troublesome in
sect, and its devastating work can be
seen in nearly every orchard.
The estimate made by Mr.. Mills is
regarded as conservative, and shows
the condition of the crop at present. al
though in a few weeks many trees that
are apparently in a healthy condition
may be ruined

Although fogging at the carts tail

was lashed at either side. . Two

OUR NATIONAL CREDIT.

The secret OF Great Britain's success
Is her unlimited credit. Our country,
profiting by that fact, has been corupu-
lously exact in meeting its obligations
and, as a consequence, it has the abb
solute confidence Of the financial world.
We are informed by Washington dis
patches that the total proposals. for the
new government loan OF 100000, 900
aggregate 100000, 900. OF this amount
there have been received subscriptions
OF amounts OF $500 and less aggregat-
ing $40,0OO,OOO. There has been re-
ceived proposal for a round lot OF
$100,000,OOO at a premium Of / per cent,
and two syndicate propositions for any
part or all OF the bonds offered, $780,
100000 each $4OO,OOO,OOO.
These syndicate offers and this Of
fer for bonds at premium are not in
the regular form, although they came
from entirely responsible sources, and
NO allotment will be made In either
case. 1t is expected that heavy sub
Ecriptions will increase in number with
the beginning Of the new month. Saw

built the Guendolen:

Il never said So" he replied, with At
ting diplomacy.
"Then that's my mistake; merely
judged so from the fact of your taking
out what on a lake would be considered
a frst-class battleship, for the Guen-
dolen Is heavily armed. is she not?"

water such as the Niger or the Khoja

the fact that she is fitted with Fraser's

brought up from the coast for the use
of two or three forges, at a cost of some

"And that difficulty Will be increased
in the case of a gnnboat, should i'm

"Not so much as you think" said Mr..
Rennie. "You see, we can only bolt,
not rivet her together IN the yard here,
so as TO insure the perfect fitting to-
gether of every part. in this condition
the Guendolen was inspected by Sir Ed
ward Reed, who expressed himself as
thoroughly satisfied with her. Then
she was taken to pieces, every piece be-
ing previously numbered, and on q
small model these numbers are marked
off, the internal fittings-of course the
model is only OF the outside of the hull

on scale drawings. Drawings and

heaviest so that on her arrival there
need be no difficulty whatever in put

Mr.. Rennie added that II one Of the
packages should be lost, It would be
difficult TO replace it. The packages
are to be transported for miles over a
rough country by bullock wagons, and

BusINEsS oF BANKs.

The past year has been an excellent
one for the national banks OF the
country, according to Comptroller OF
the Currency Dawes, who says, In a
statement regarding the general condi-
tion OF the national banks at the close
OF the fiscal year.
"The past year has been one Of
growth and expansion in the business
OF the national banks OF the country
as reports OF their present condition,
compared with former reports, clearly
indicate. The individual deposits OF
the banks which ON July %, 1897 were
$1.77O ,4SO, $50, reached on May 5, 1898,
the sum OF 1899 sos, ,43S. The declara-
tion OF war did not stop this gain, the
increase between February IS and May
Of this year being $16,647 sos and
the individual deposits Of the national
banks Of the United States now stand
at the highest point in the history OF
the system. The expansion in loans
since May H. 1897 has been S173,72S,
365.
The concurrent expansion in the loant
and individual deposits Of our bankins
system is the best possible evidence O.
growing confidence in the business ant
banking world. Increasing deposit.

deposits with Increasing loans, ar
conditions which may exist withoip
being considered as necessarily indi
eating prosperous conditions, but III,
conjunction OF a steady increase ii
