ever Are Almost Fatally DESTROYED
Fruit growers around and about
Smyrna who are now awaiting anxi-
ously the June Drop" feel sanguine
that there will be a good fruit crop
this year. The recent cold spells
with its accompanying frosts, so far
as can be determined. has done no
material damage except to keiffer
pears. Peaches apparently remain in
a healthy condition and unless all
signs fail, or the June drop should be
unusually large, there will be a good
peach crop in the Smyrna Brenford
peach belt, that prolific section which
IN former yeasr has made thousands
OF dollars for the growers. The plum
and grape crops are also promising
but the indications that the keiffer
pear crop is almost a total failure.
Some growers report everything gone
while others say they will have
partial crop. Local growers are
more or less enthusiastic over the
situation and hope nothing will
prevent a profitable fruit year.
Railroad Makes Some CONCESSIONS
The transportation lines, anticipa-
ting a good year, are making their
plans to accommodate shippers.
Besides the daily lines on the Smyrna
transportation Company, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, after
many urgent appeals on the part of
the farmers, have made some partial
concessions. Freight shipments of
peaches to Baltimore, Philadelphia
Chester and Wilmington will entitle
the shipper to the return of the pack
age entirely free Of cost. According
to the old rate of one cent per bas-
ket and five Gems per crate for return
OF empties, this will save Sc on
every carload of Baskets and S25 or
$50 on every carload of crates. Then
the company goes farther. The
shipment of peaches or tomatoes in
two, three and four-basket crates.
with the baskets Grated up inside,
means much heavier and did mean
a more costly shipment. To relieve
the fruit growers of his burden
the railroad company has agreed to
weigh only the fruit, and fixed
uniform scale of weight for the same,
as follows: Peaches by the handle
basket, shall be shipped as of 10
pounds each, and no weighing of the
package. Peaches by the medium
basket, Is pounds each. Peaches
by the larger medium baskets, 20
pounds each. Peaches by the half
bushel basket, 25 pounds each.
Three gallon carriers, 20 pounds
each. FOur-gallon carriers, 80 pounds
each. Six-gallon carriers, 40 pounds
each. Therefore, peaches or tomatoes
may be shipped in the ordinary peach
baskets if they then are nailed inside
of substantial crates or carriers, with
the baskets upright. This will make
a heavy package, but the shippers
will have no more to pay than the
fruit within them actully weighs.
Peach Crop May be 4, 100000 Baskets
The estimate is that Delaware's
peach crop should reach nearly
4, 900, 600 baskets if favorable weather
and no new disease attacks
the tender luXuries. At no time for
twenty years has the acreage in
peach trees been so large, the peach
growing industry having been
almost abandoned in Delaware twelve
years ago, after the last attack of
yellows.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions


CHICAGO. Oct. 19.-The weakness in the
wheat market late in the day followed period
marked by extreme nervousness, during which
prices fuctuated range of about 1c. The
market opened easy owing to selling brought cut
by scattered rains in the southwest and by an
the entire winter wheat belt. The market then
rallied sharply covering by shorts, who were
actuated by the relative strength OF the New
York market, which due 1t was said to
profit taking the market again became strong on
buying based on report from Argentina, which
claimed that the damage to the wheat crop
there by the recent frosts was serious During
the last hour sentiment again became decidedly
bearish and prices sumped off sharply under
general selling. The chief reason for the final
weakness was the figures on the visible supply
of wheat in this country and Canada, which
showed an increase of q, $40. 900 bushels for the
week. compared with an increase of 100000
of a liberal movement of wheat to this market
tomorrow from the southwest brought out addi-
tional selling. The close was weak at almost
the lowest point. with December at 954s Q9o12
and NayI at $1.O1%4 6l1015s.
The feature OF trade in corn was the active
buying of December by shorts, who were in fear
that predicted rains would not only delay the
movement, but would also impair the quality of
the new crop. The market closed firm at net
gains of \ a SC with December at 635s @64c
May closed at 6315c.
Oats were steady all day. but finally yielded
to the wea kness of wheat and closed at net
losses of 1s@%c. December closed at 4Sc and
May at soc.
able selling of provisions early in the session,
which resulted in moderate weakness. Later In
