PEACHES ARE PLENTIFUL
AND PRICES ARE LOW

While everything is selling well,
there is but little change in prices.
Fluctuation has markedly decreased,
and now the only change is lower
ing in quotations.
The chief item of interest in the
past few days has been the peach,
and 1t is now showing if every blush
ing girl cannot be a peach she may own
one. They are coming from points in
Illinois and Missouri in large guam
titles, aod come as near slumpipg the
market as any other article has dur
ing this season. The crop in south
ern Illinois, from all reports, was
good and but little affected by the
heat, and the peaches say as much by
their appearance. They are solid and
of respectable size, and the best of
all for this season they are selling at
low price. The linois peach comes
at 20 cents basket at retail, while
the Michigan fruit is expected almost
hourly. From all reports it is also
choice and of good quantity.
California fruits are inclined to
rise. bet will soon settle down again,
it is thought. The present upward
trend of prices lis no doubt due to
placing them at too low figure, as a
reaction against the sky-scraping
prices they were drawing when the
sun was trying to roast US all. Lem
ons are falling gradually. Home fruits
are very popular just at this time
and all that can be brought here OF
got from the country are readily sale.
able. Plums locally are doing well in
the marts. The early variety is what
is supplying the trade, and it is doing
it to perfection. This variety did not
seem to be much affected by the in
| tense heat of few weeks ago, and
consequently are making a brave
showing. The late plums are, how
ever, reported to be nearer failure,
as they were. budding in the right
time to get the full effects of the tenn
