CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
Fine fruit; fancy prices. 
Pears are in very light supply. 
Cherries are nearly out of market. 
Strawberries are a thing of the past. 
Currants are not equal to the demand. 
There is a good demand for gooseberries. 
Beeswax at 28 to 30 cents per pound for pure. 
The demand for apples is light, and prices are 
low. 
California canned cherries and apricots are 
higher in price. 
The first arrivals of Long Island potatoes were 
of good quality. 
Receipts of Southern new potatoes last week 
were 76,669 barrels. 
Asparagus is about done, what little there is 
being of very poor quality. 
A Kentucky couple eloped on a steer, both rid¬ 
ing him astride for 32 miles. 
Large quantities of very fine tomatoes have 
been coming from Mississippi. 
The supply of plums has been large, many of 
them overripe and selling slowly. 
Fancy watermelons are scarce and high, but 
there are plenty of small, poor ones. 
Two large cargoes of Hawaiian sugar have re¬ 
cently arrived here direct from Honolulu. 
Few grapes are offered, but being of poor qual¬ 
ity they are sufficient to meet the demand. 
Raspberries are in the height of their season, 
and as the supply is large, they sell slowly except 
when choice. 
Some celery has arrived from Jersey, but this, 
as well as that from Michigan, is of small size 
and sells slowly. 
Strictly fresh eggs are scarce, and are quickly 
sold at good prices. The market is likely to ad¬ 
vance from now on. 
Last week’s receipts of watermelons were 202 
car-loads, averaging about 1,100 melofis each, 
mostly from Georgia. 
Large arrivals of string beans recently, so de¬ 
pressed the market, that often not enough was 
realized to pay freight. 
Fresh fruits arriving in large quantities, but 
berries are frequently in bad condition and often 
unsalable at any price. 
The market has been nearly swamped with 
huckleberries, many of them being wet and soft, 
and almost impossible of sale. 
The export demand for hay for the English mar¬ 
ket has increased. The market for hay here is 
firm, and prices have an upward tendency. 
There’s a wide range in the quality of the 
peaches received. Fancy large are not over¬ 
plenty, and sell well, while inferior kinds drag at 
low prices. 
Much damage to crops, trees and buildings by 
rain, hail and wind, is reported in various States. 
There are few points now but have had an abund¬ 
ance of rain. 
A lot of Florida pineapples were noticed of 
bright color, sound and nice, but scarcely larger 
than one’s fist, and, therefore, hardly salable at 
any price. It doesn’t pay to ship such goods. 
Is is said that the soil and climate of the Sand¬ 
wich Islands are favorable to the production of 
coffee, and that there is no reason why the coffee 
industry should not be made to equal the sugar 
industry. 
Potato prices have finally gone down to about 
the normal point, large quantities having come 
in from both the South and from Long Island. 
Prices are not likely to be much, if any, higher in 
the immediate future 
Wheat has taken a big tumble. Previous high 
prices were largely, though not entirely, the re¬ 
sult of speculation, and the present depression is 
partly due to the same cause. It is likely to ad¬ 
vance again, somewhat. 
Over 15,000 barrels of Southern potatoes arrived 
Monday via the Old Dominion Line, nearly as 
many by the P. R. R., and many more from Jersey 
and Long Island. Prices, however, have con¬ 
tinued good for thpse of good quality. 
North Carolina sends quantities of green corn 
to this market nearly every year; but it does not 
usually arrive until the first New Jersey corn is 
in market, and as the latter is much superior in 
quality, the former sells for very low prices—not 
enough often, to pay transportation. 
Fruit importers have had considerable trouble 
because poor fruit was mixed into the cargoes, 
and cash advances secured upon it, often on fruit 
that was absolutely worthless. Inspectors have 
now been appointed at the shipping ports, and 
this fraud is likely to be checked, if not altogether 
stopped. 
The first shipments of California fruit to Eng¬ 
land for this season, are now oh their way. Ship¬ 
ments last year showed that there was much to 
learn about methods of assorting and packing, 
but that with goods and methods that would meet 
the requirements of that market, a profitable 
trade is assured. 
A new glucose manufactory is to be built in 
Chicago, by a company already having an im¬ 
mense factory in operation, which, when com¬ 
pleted, will take from 60,000 to 90,000 bushels of 
corn per day. It is said that the domestic and 
foreign trade in glucose and kindred products, 
has grown to such an extent that the outlay of 
hundreds of thousands of dollars is fully war¬ 
ranted. Yet glucose, as such, is not a regular 
article of trade in our stores ! 
The Hay Trade Journal, with reports from all 
parts of the United States and Canada, says that 
all states east of the Mississippi and north of the 
Ohio will not produce 50 per cent of an average 
crop. In the provinces of Quebec and eastern 
Ontario, indications j>romise a full crop. Eng¬ 
land has a short yield and that country has buy¬ 
ers in Canada now and will divert the supply 
which would naturally come to the States to that 
country. _
