Crop Will b. a Failure Unless II
Rains Soon.

Jersey and Delaware strawberries
have made their appearance in the local
markets. but the quality is poor and un-
less rsin comes within a day or two the
crop will virtually be failure.
The berries that have arrived thus far
are only about half-size and show plain
" the effect of the dry weather.
The drouth extends as far south as
Charleston and southern berries are af-
fected, too.
In place Of the usual twenty-five to
thirty express carloads which should ar
rive nightly at Philadelphia, only five
or six cars are received.
These conditions affect the price and
the berries are likely to remain high.
The price yesterday for the best berries
was eighteen cents a quart.
