A CARLOAD OF PEACHES HERE.

The Chicago Bargain Store’s carload of peaches, pears and grapes arrived Tuesday afternoon and have been selling briskly notwithstanding the short crop everywhere makes the prices pretty high. There were about 350 bushels of peaches and 50 bushels of pears in the carload, and the former were sold at from $2 to $3 per bushel and the latter at $1.25 to $2.00. The peaches were of about the largest and finest quality that ever came to towifc It is not likely that any more large quantities will be shipped in here this season, owing to scarcity and consequent high prices.
