PEACHES ARE BOUND '
TD BE EXPENSIVE
Growers Find the Weather Is

tlves Will be Scarce
M—
Peaches of. good quality still sell for
15 cents it quart. Peaches of inferior
quality may be bought, for less, but are
beginning to be over ripe, but they
are still good enough for such pui-
posos as shortcdke.
One dealer said yesterday that the
prices next week would be even higher
as the end of the southern crop is near
at hand. He expects to see the price
11111111 to 20 cents a quart in the next
tour or live daV'.s There are practi-
call) no IIntIVe peaches this year.
Michigan it is said. will produce a
large amount of peaches this year
These will reach the local market, but
they will be late. The southern crop
was IIot large, but. the growers have
stated that lack of quantity was made
up for by quality to 11 large extent
The peaches grown in the South have
been large and particularly fine in ap-
pearance and sweet and juicy. The
ones that have reached the local
market have been more than ordinarily
luscious and It is the opinion of many
that the peaches grown in Connecticut
cannot compare with them as far as
ieating quality is concerned. The Corr-
necticut grown peaches are very hand-
some, but many complain that they
are not nearly so sweet as those grown
under southern skies.
All sorts of quit are expensive, par-
ticularly oranges. Oranges of first
class quality cannot be purchased less
than five cents apiece, which makes
them quite a luxury at this time of the
year and even puts theui entirely out
of the. reach of people of limited
means.
There seems to have been 11 scarcity
of raspberries in the market this sum-
Iner. They Were reported to be titled-
ing nicely but the dry spell came at a

quence was that many of them died

spell, however. is feared to have a bad
effect. and that they will wither before

Mr. Mullen has furnished :1 list,

In reply to a suggestion that as the
company's gross earnings inst. veur
were $2,000,000 it the road had been
operated at. 05 per cent. this would
have left sufficient. surplus for divi-
dends on both common and preferred
shares, President Mellon says:
"Your information as to the gross
earnings of the property is substantial-
ly correct, but the assumption that
that railroad can be operated for 05
per cent. of the gross earnings is far
from the mark, and I cannot see any
ratios ratio being secured for home
