WHY,

OUTLOOK FOB FRUIT IN THIS COUNTY IS BETTER THAN FOR MANY YEARS.

The Peach Crop Promises to be a Record Breaker. It is Thought That the Strawberry Crop Will be Exceedingly Good While Celery Promises to Turn Out Like the Celebrated Kalamazoo Variety. A prominent farmer stated yesterday that the outlook for fruit in this county-this coming spring and summer was better than it has appeared at this early season for several years past and the Wayne county fruit growers are anticipating well filled purses at the end of the fruit season. "The peach crop in Wayne County this year promises to be a record breaker," said the farmer referred fo "and whenever the outlook for peaches in this part of the country is rood it is a certainty that all the other fruits will be plentiful, as peaches nre the most delicate and hardest of fruits to raise." It is a little early to get a line on le strawberry- crop, for which Wyne County is famous, but it is bought that the crop this year will ho. exceedingly good. The celery crop this year will be better than the average. Celry placed in trenches late last fall and covered with leaves and straw has bleached well and the flavor is as good as the celebrated Kalamazoo celery. . ' COUNTRY PRODUCE. .

SMALL DEALINGS INDICATED A LANGUID INTEREST IN STOCKS. PRICES LOWER.

Violent Fluctuaion in Some Specialties Tailed to Help General Railroad List. Subsequently the Rail road Issues Manifested Mora Firmness. The Market Became Idle at Intervals Displaying Much Sluggishness. Bends Were Heavy. New York, March 13. The. small opening dealings indicated a languid interest in stocks at the opening of the market. There was a sprinkling of gains, but the majority of prices was. lower. Violent fluctuations in a number of specialties failed to create more than a languid interest in the general railroad list, which was decidedly sluggish. After some heaviness had been shown, the market rallied on the rise in the metal stocks. Subsequently the course of the railroad stocks and specialties became more defined, the specialties selling off, while the railroads began to manifest firmness. Sluggish to Idle. Smelting and Lead lost most of their gains. The market became idle at intervals and was very sluggish. Buying of Reading to a point above last night caused some recovery in sympathy. Brooklyn Transit gained 1r. Bonds were heavy. Inquiries for special stocks were not sufficiently urgent to alter prices much, but there was nevertheless a gradual hardening which was most noticeable in the Southern railroad group. Of the standard stocks, St. Paul and Atchison were the , most favored. ' WRJT YORK STOCKS. (Furnished by O . O.
