FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

The year has been a heavy fruit year.
The peach crop has been an almost I'M
precedented success, so far as yield could
make it. Prices as matter of course rui-
ed lower than last year, which Is always
the case with any commodity whose sup
ply is as large as the demand for It,
The chances are that growers made more
money out of the crop than out of the crop
of 1894, which was the largest crop, ex-
cept the crop of 1898 in years Peaches sold
in 1894 for Coo and Toe a bushel, and not
to be so per cent. greater than 1894 the
same fruit sod here for soc and Coo a
bushel. During the last days of the peach
season peaches jumped up to 81 a bushel
The quality of the fruit for the season just
closed held the price up somewhat. While
Southern markets consumed a great deal
Of Georgia fruit Easter and Western mar
kets received the bulk of the shipments.
There is no doubt growers have realized
more than they hoped on peaches. In most
sections where fruit would not warrant
shipping, 1T was canned and evaporated and
while ii is almost impossible to estimate
the amount used this way IL is safe TO say
that a very large quantity is held now by
growers to be marketed In fail and win
ter, and from this product they will no
doubt realize well. And the total value
of the crop Is not complete until this pro-
duct has been put upon the market.
The apple crop was poor, but prices ruled
we'll and some money was made out of
It, Georgia apples as a rule, are consumed
in Southern markets. They are evaporated
and probably In this way bring the grow
ers more money than In any other. Cider
and vinegar concerns consume small per-
centage Of the crop. The pear crop is con-

the good feeling that existed soon passed
away. Capital, ever sensitive, withdrew
from the market, and all the improve
ments planned were abandoned. Recently,
however, with the sure prospects of peace,
very good demand has sprung up for res
idence property. A great many lots have
been sold in the southern section, and are
being improved with substantial and at
tractiVs residences. Homes are being
sought by all classes, and consequently
in all sections of the city. Our people are
very hopeful of the future, and the unan-
imous sentiment is that the South must
reap large benefits as the legitimate results
of the war Savannah seems ito have the
call" as the "boys" express it, and Sa-
vannah dirt is looked upon as the softest
investment either for an income or for
profit Already propositions are being
made to put large tracts In the market
and talks of syndicates and new enter
prises are freely talked Of
During the fan and winter there will be
a fair business done, and in the spring
considerable activity may be expected.
Rents are holding up well. There are
no first class stores for rent. while there
is inquiry from outside parties for such.
Residences are In good demand. There are
fewer in the market than usual, and in a
month there will be the same complaint
as last year of a scarcity Of desirable res
licences for rent.
The outlook in this department of trade
is decidedly bright.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-09-06

siderably cut off this season. The bulk of
the crop was used In the South. Prices rub
ed only fair Notwithstanding the short
crop. Growers were somewhat disappoint-
ed, but the pear orchards are not extern
sive in Georgia, and generally growers do
not depend upon this crop, but count all
made upon It, as that much gained.
Melons did Wen and were planted ex-
tensively throughout Georgia. The quail
ity was very good, and the supply was not
materially behind. The crop was marketed
early and it is from this crop always that
the bulk of the money is made. The truck
farmers in this section We're not generally
blessed with crops sufficient to make
great deal of money. Although the late
corn crop and hay crop will more than
make good the deficiency.
Some farmers estimate that their corn
crop is ten times greater than last year.
The hay crop is better than for years. This
crop In this section is fast becoming
money crop. 1t Is preferable here TO the
baged hay of the West, and sells for 50
cents and rs cents hundred pounds. The
baled hay of the West sells for no more.
And considering the expense of baling, and
freight to Savannah they make a good
deal less out of the crop than Savannah
truck farmers Farmers here cut their hay
three times every season And they are
all money crops. 1t is hal to estimate
what this crop viii really amount to this
year. So far, 1t is a record breaker.
This is an industry that Savannah truck
farmers have neglected until late years.
And even now they do not devote their
best time and energy to IL. The success
that they had with it last year and, that
likely 70 come to them this year, offsetting
their failure in other crops, has had a
tendency to direct their minds TO it, and
no doubt the hay crop henceforth wiz be-
come a crop out of which farmers wiz
make more money, since IL is certain that
they win give IL more attention
Appended is a statement of the exports
by water route of fruits In packages, num-
Der of melons and vegetables in packages
to the different coastwise ports. There
was a considerable quantity going inland
by rail, of which it is impossible to give
an accurate account.

vanced, has kept canned goods in strong
demand, and the consumption of this class
of goods has been very large.
More fancy goods have been sold than
for a number of years. People in the in
terror are in a more prosperous condition.
1t has cost them less to make cotton this
year than 1t ever cost them. They have
lived closer, and even with a low price
of cotton, they win make money, and will
be out of debt. In the larger towns, pro-
portionately as many canned goods are
consumed as in the larger cities. This is
not usually the case.
Another feature of last years trade,
which is for the better is the disposition
of retail dealers to buy their goods of Sa-
/ vannah 1obbers.
Certain houses, who, two years ago, ran
accounts of perhaps 500 a month with job
bers here are doing now much as 81
900 of business with them. Savannah job
bers have better connection with big mar
kets, manufacturers and import houses
than formerly, and they are able to sup
ply dealers here and In this territory more
satisfactory than any other concerns.
Florida business has picked up. The in
crease in this trade has had much to do
with the years prosperous business. Trav-
el has been heavy TO Florida. 1t has been
a great year for fruits and vegetables, be-
sides the stimuiant business received from
the army. ProportionateEy the increase in
Florida business has been greater than any
other section. Collections being good job
bers increased their efforts to sell more.
and extend their territory. Savannah gro
GERS were able to bid successfully for army
contracts which threw a great deal of bus
mess here.
Carolina business has been worked better
and grocers feel an increase in this BUSH
ness also.
While certain class OF goods, ps tobac-
co and cigars affected by the internal rev.
enue are some higher. no noticeable fall
ing Off of trade has been discovered; IN
fact, the volume of business has been the
same, II not better, while the volume OF
the trade is much more.
Owing to United States Supreme Court
decisions, relative to the methods of South
Carolina liquor traffic, the trade between
Savannah and South Carolina has dropped
off. In this line the territory has not been
worked with a view to re-establishing the
trade that Savannah had two years ago,
with South Carolina. Renewed effort has,
however, been directed toward handling
the regular grocery trade of such section
of the state as Savannah might handle
with advantage. In this particular, Savan-
nah grocers have received encouragement,
and they are building up a good trade, and
a safe trade.
Special efforts are being made by gro
GERS to get into Porto Rico and Havana,
and there Is no reason to keep them from
being successful. Grocers here believe that
their trade will be materially enlarged by
connection with Cuba. and they are of the
opinion that this year has opened new
world to them.
Ii is their opinion that the coming year
viii be the most prosperous In this city's
history.

REAL EsTATE.

The first six months Of the year gave
promise of a decided advance in all classes
of real property. The building movement
noticed in the last review continued we'll
into the year. The amount of building
done was marvel to the casual observer
The result is shown in the southern and
southeastern section. Entire streets have
been filed with houses. This was entirely
a movement of homeseekers, and resulted
in the sale Of many lots. The movement
continued and other classes OF realty
sympathized with it. Investors showed
disposition to take hold. and large i'm
provements and investments were planned
when the war cloud appeared This
checked all inclination fer months. and

GROCERIES, PROVISIONS AND.
LIQUORS.

The wholesale grocery trade during the
past year Is an increase over the year pre-
ceding. Aside from perhaps sixty days,
when wheat advanced, prices ruled about
as they did the year before. A few months
before and after the war began there was
a check in trade, but this was more than
overcome by new trade with the govern
ment. The volume OF business is fully up
TO last year, and somewhat above. While
prices have remained the same on most ar
ticles. few have dropped low. For in
stance, coffee is about as low as it has
been in many years. Tbs demand from the
army has possibly advanced, or If not adj

LUMBER.

With the exception of the months OF Sep
tember 1897, and August, 1898, the exports
of lumber were materially increased over
the previous year. The total shipments
during the past year closely approached
those of 1885, which was the record
breaking year, the total exports being 144,
970011 feet. One great drawback to the
shipments during the month just past,
was the inability of large fleet of vessels
to get to port, having encountered head
winds for several weeks.
The lumber business started out at the
beginning of the commercial year with
bright prospects and firm prices The ship
ments during October were over 150O0OOOO
feet and each succeeding month showed
movement of from L, 100000 feet to 15,0O0,-
900 feet up to the end of July.
The shipments by water were somewhat
curtailed for a while just after the break
ing out of the war on account or the
owners refusing to allow their vessels to
take the risk, or else demanding such
high rate of freight that the trade could
not afford to pay it, About this time con-
siderable lumber, to fill urgent orders,
was shipped North by rail.
The shipments to foreign ports during
the year were ], 561, $50 feet in excess of the
previous year. With the opening up of the
West Indies to the commerce of the Unit
ed States, it is expected that this port
will contribute largely to the exports of
lumber and that the coming year will
show a large increase in shipments to Gu
ban ports.
The shipments of crossties were con-
fined to New York, Norfolk, Philadelphia
and Portland, and amounted to over 10000
900 superficial feet, a decrease of about g.,
600, 600 feet as compared with the previous
year.
Prices held up fairly well during the
winter and spring. but during the past
two months values declined about Is
cents per 100000 feet and orders were very
scarce.
In the accompanying tables of shipments
the number of feet of crossties is included
in totals of lumber, A separate table, how
ever, will be found showing the movement
of crossties,
The general business outlook Is bright
and it is confidently expected that with
the end of the war the demand for lumber
will increase and that prices will materi-
ally advance.
