CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Florida pears In market are mostly poor. 
Evaporated raspberries are low and dull. 
Arrivals of e^KS average of very poor quality. 
Nearly all vegetables are much lower In price. 
Warm weather reduces the demand for meats. 
Tne market has been glutted with live pigeons. 
The market on dry Medium beans Is very strong. 
The railroad strikes upset the market somewhat. 
California Is exporting butter to New South Wales. 
Marrlaad peaches began to arrive several days 
since. 
Kecelpts of live poultry by the car-load numbered 
17 oars. 
A good many Imported potatoes have been sent to 
Havana. 
Game from Liverpool was one of the Items on a 
recent steamer. 
Freight rates from Virginia ports to New York 
have been reduced. 
.lersey tomatoes and potatoes have been coming In 
durirg the past few days. 
The quality Of most of the berries recently re¬ 
ceived has been very poor. 
Large arrivals of Egyptian onions render the mar¬ 
ket very weak and prices low. 
Canners bought a great many currants at three 
cents per pound during the week. 
The Milk Exchange has magnanimously raised the 
price of milk to two cents per quart. 
Spring ducks were never so low before at this sea¬ 
son. Extreme hot weather curtails the demand. 
Cootlictlng reports of the apple crop come from 
western New York and other producing localities. 
Last week's pack of hogs In the West was 380,(XX) 
against 260,0(KJ for the corresponding week last year. 
Kecelpts of hay are heavy, demand moderate and 
market dull. This Is especially true of the lower 
grades. 
8 'me Long Island potatoes have arrived, but they 
should have been left in the ground a few days 
longer. 
The Central New York Fair will be held this year 
September 17,18,19 and 30. C. L. Nearing, secretary, 
Oneonta, N. Y. 
The wool market Is dull, but little business Is do¬ 
ing, and any quotations that might be given would 
be only nominal. 
The Mississippi tomato crop was badly cut this 
year by the late frosts, but still large quantities 
have been shipped, 
A shipment of strawberries from the province of 
Quebec, Canada, arrived Tuesday. They were large 
and One, but so soft that they hardly broughtenough 
to cover expenses. 
Old potatoes, both domestic and foreign, have al¬ 
most gone begging for buyers during the past few 
weeks. Shippers must have lost considerable money. 
It Is a great mistake to keep old potatoes so late, es¬ 
pecially when such a large crop from the South was 
promised. 
The Tolland County, Conn., Agricultural Society 
advertises its fair for September 11-13; 12,500in prem¬ 
iums are offered for agricultural products, and only 
(3,000 for trials of speed—the tall doesn’t quite wag 
the dog. In addition, (500 are offered for special 
attractions. F. U. Tucker, secretary, Uockvllle. 
Chops in Vihoinia.—T he weather is very dry and 
hot, ttne for haying, which commenced this week. 
New Helds are light, generally speaking, owing, I 
presume, to the hard spring frosts, and the dry 
weather which succeeded them. The heat is bring¬ 
ing on the corn very fast; some of It is three feet 
high. Japan and black peas are doing very well. 
Thirty cents per quart was asked for raspberries on 
the Norfolk market last Saturday. Potatces are be¬ 
ginning to go forward—rather immature yet, but 
every one who has them to market wants to be first 
and get the big price. There vvlll be a heavy crop In 
this vicinity, and fields are looking remarkably well 
—In lull bloom at present No apples, pears, peaches, 
plums, cherries-frost killed everything of that 
kind last spring, and a good many farmhouses will 
be very bare of fruit this year. t. p. i>.
