 Nearly 5000 gallons of strawberries left here in one train for New York Tuesday night About as many went out for New York by steamer at the same time, and the Boston steamer carried nearly as great a quantity of the luscious fruit. The Baltimore boats also the same after noon were heavily laden with the berries, contributing to swell to incredible propor- tions the shipment for a single day
 The foregoing refers only to berries. But the shipments of kale spinach and cabbage are as remarkable in point of size and, united, in point of value. as well. The truckers are supplying all the green groceries that go on the tables in the North these days and as conse- uuence, are full in the path of the vel low stream that is flowing Southward. Every man who has a patch" of any thing growing in the neighborhood of Norfolk is smiling, and, however, much the bank men may worry over inability to take care of the money comihg this way there is no sign of uneasiness on the faces of the truckers.

United States. 52 per cent is shipped from Norfolk. and Norfolk supplies to the American people 51 per cent of all the spinach they eat in year.
 Streets Crowded
 The streets are crowded all day now with wagons and drays piled high with crates, baskets. boxes and barrels of truck just starting towards the eager buyers of the North. Every species of craft that can be secured to transport freight is plying the waters of the har- bor on the way to the wharves, heavily laden with the earth's bounty or hurry ing back to the farms for fresh loads of fruits and vegetables with which to help allay the clamor of the hungry and inn patient people of a less-favored cline. Hundreds and hundreds of men are la boring day and night to diminish the mountains piled up by wagon and boat, but to little purpose.
 The big steamers sail away with their holds stored to the utmost capacity. and with berries and vegetables hidden away in every spot that offers resting place, but other vessels take their places at the wharves and wagons and schooners and sloops keep up their trips to and from the farms and continue to pile in the sheds the produce that keeps the golden stream setting towards Norfolk
 1 spent an nOur IOOdy watching tne un- loading of truck from wagons and boats at the Old Dominion wharves and watch ing the negroes wheel the boxes and bar rels up the gang plank into the holds of the steamers. There are many thousand square feet of space on the wharf and the packages of freight are piled high one upon another. but it is by no means an easy mater to get a vacant spot where one may stand undisturbed and observe the busy scenes around him. It is said the sensation of being run over by truck pushed by a negro stevedore is chiefly that of humiliation, but 1t has never been claimed that 1t has any hu- morous features save for the negro and the onlookers. Probably three hundred brawny negroes were at work at the wharves today handling the freight not including those on the sloops hOisting it to the platform, nor the drivers with loads from nearby fields.
 Scene of Activity.
 The scene was one of utmost activity. A half dozen foremen and two or three policemen seemed to be the only people who were not straining their muscles and their vocal organs. The rumble of the trucks, wheeled forward under heavy loads or their chatter down the gangplank and across the broad floor for new bur dens of barrels and boxes; profanity, pie turesque and profOund occasional laugh ter snatch of song, banter and jest, all contributed to the babel that made me wonder whether cotton in those darkey's ears would not increase the sum of the days accomplishment.
 and constantly in my nostrils was the delicate and wholly delicious odor of crushed strawberries. tickling my olfac- tories as it was most likely titillating those of old Izaak Walton when he said
