Peaches are not the only sufferers. For pears, good Bartletts, have yielded only five to eight dollars per barrel, and grapes have sold as low as four cents per pound.

Blackberries fell to two and four cents per quart when peaches made their advent.

Our city friends who have been hoping for the time when fruit would be so cheap that the poor could eat freely, have now had their opportunity, but the situation is unchanged. The retail prices are quite as high as ever, and the poor have not bought at all. Surely our fruit philosophers must put on another thinking cap, and seriously reflect, whether gluts help the poor at all, and if the grower does not suffer enough more mischief from his losses, to overbalance all the possible good that might accrue to the poor buyer from occasional gluts and low prices. Our sympathies are entirely with the grower. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and those who grow fruit and farm produce should receive a fair price for their labor.
