WARM WEATHER MAY
KILL PEACH CROPS
If Present Temperature Continues
Maryland and Delaware Orchards
Will Be Ruined.

This weather looks bad for the Della
ware and Maryland peach crop. accord
ing TO a statement made today by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson If the
present degree Of temperature should
continue two or three days more, prac-
tically total ruination of the crop would
be guaranteed.
Reports thattt are coming in 10 the
Agricultural Department indicate that
already peach trees show indications OF
producing buds. and within a few more
days they would be developed TO s4ch
an extent that cold weather, which is
certain 10 come. would render the great
peach orchards a desert Of fruit trees
next summer.
Not only are the peaches of Delaware
and Maryland threatened but all early
fruits IN those States, as we'll as all
through the East and well into the Cen
tral Western States. are endangered. Al
though an unusually mild condition of
atmosphere has prevailed the past week
I'll through the North. from the Allan
tice 10 the Rockies. from the AueKhenies
eastward, IL has been unprecedented in
the history Of the National Weather
Bureau.
Following a few days OF high temper
atUre in the Central States and the
Northwest, a cold wave has come on
suddenly. but fruit trees and vines had
not yet awakened from their winter
sIumber and will not suffer III effects
In the East Il is different. the mild
weather has held out longer, and fruit
growers everywhere are manifestIy
alarmed.

FEATURES OF MARKET.
Most Active Bond

Probably the least and best also that
can be said about today's local stock
market was that the changes in prices
were inconspicuous. The members met
with the knowledge that the New York
market had received a slight setback
and in consequence there was an indis-
position to do any business, but rather
TO let matters drift along on an even
keel Commission orders were sadly
lacking and professional trading was
reduced 10 a minimum. Then, too, the
weather was not calculated TO inspire
much activity.
