Record Fruit Crop Expected to Beat Last Year
Chicago reports a record fruit crop with an apple yield half again larger than last year. Prices fall 33 to 55 percent on many items as merchants predict shipments of about 19 000 carloads from Michigan and nearby regions. Early Alexander peaches from Ludington began Aug 4 with more varieties to follow. Georgia peaches hit by a cold snap will be offset by Michigan supplies.
