subscriber of the COMMERCIAL, at Glyndon.
Clay Co., Minnesota, writes us some description
Of that place. He says he thinks the people

reference to that section.
Glyndon, says our correspondent, has about
thirty houses, two very good hotels, one No. gin
mill, one No. 3 ditto, one " Billiard Hall" IA
tent with one table in it, one church, large re-
ception house, owned by the Northern Pacific

comfortable passenger depot. and a very good
ronnd-house for locomotives. The land on
which the town stands is flat and wet the near

Industrial Items.

One hundred emigrant laborers, 10 work in
the coal mines, in place of the strikers, have
arrived at youngstown, Ohio. 1000 of them
have been engaged, and will reach Youngstown
in instruments. The strikers threatened trouble
and 25 policemen went down from Cleveland to
prevent an outbreak. They were reinforced by
u number OF armed citizens, and although many
threats were uttered, no breach of peace has
yet occurred. 1t is thought all the mines will
soon be full of workmen, and between 900 and
5000 strikers will be left to take cne of them
sevds in other fields of labor. 1t is believed
that the long suspension of business will soon
be over.
Over one hundred Of the Phenixville striking
puddlers have been in Reading seeking employ
ment in the various iron manufacturing estah-
lishmerts, most of whom have been successful
Railroads will make towns. In the Borough
Of Birdsboro, on the Wilmington ~ Reading
Railroad, eighty-three buildings were erected
during last year.
In reference to the strike of building workmen
In New York, the Mail says ;-"As to the work
ingmen, they have obtained their demands and
receive So SO for days work of eight hours.
But the work is no longer plentiful, and many
receive no work at any price. Nor ii the dispute
at all settled respecting the time aud the wages.
The builders had to yield while they were under
obligations to finish certain works in certain per-
iods. But the largest builders are refraining
from business, and will not undertake very much
until matters shall once more be settled and
confidence on every side restored"
The Philadelphia Evening Herald is Of the
opinion that the immense difference between the
progress being made in the erection of buildings
OF all kinds In New York and Philadelphia is at
tributable mainly to the frequent strikes in the
former city. While Philadelphia is annually
erecting from five to eight Thousand buildings,
New Ysrk is not doing so much in the building
line. Thus, in 1871, beginning with April 10,
the number of houses erected in that city was
2695. During the yoar ending April 49, 1873
there was a falling of from this comparatively
small number to 1547, or nearly fifty per cent.
The workers on woman's boots in New York
city have demanded an increase of rs cents per
pair and il the increase is not granted they will
strike.

Now that the great impediment to their pro-
gress is removed, we hope the Berks county
Railroad Company will urge the road forward to
completion. They should brook no delay, but
hurry up the contractors, give them aid aud en-
ish the.Eoad at the earliest practicable moment.
The road should be 30 far completed that the
cars can run to Reading by August next, the
grading should be completed to Slatington by
September, and trains should be running regu.
larly over the entire line by the 1st. of next
December.
The construction of the road is in good hands
There is plenty of money for all purposes, and
the road has plenty of friends among all classes
OF our people, Prominent among the gentlemen
interested in the enterprise are the Messrs.
Bushong, the well known bankers of Reading,
whose financial and personal standing is recog-
nized throughout the entire country as unexcsl-
led by that Of any other firm in the Union.

THE DuLL SEASON ALREADY AT HANp-P. M'cUL-
LoUdH IL co.'s NEW FACTORY.
The shoe trade suffers in common with all
other branches of business by reason OF the
stagnation throughout the country. Usually
business in this line is brisk until the month OF
July, but the middle OF May, this spring, finds
the orders already dropping Off, and US a conse-
quence there is a corresponding diminution in
the force of workmen employed
In Wilmington, the manufacture of shoes.
although an important branch Of industry, is
not leading one. There are but two factories
in the city, z. NJ. Mccullough Il Co., aud W. A.
Turner. Other business led US. this morning to
the factory of the former company, and through
the kindness of the senior member of tho firm
we were escorted through the establishment.
The factory of P. Mccullough 4 Co. is new
one, lately built and occupied. 1t is located at
the N. W. corner of Fifth and Walnut streets
ID four stories high, ana well adapted to the
purposes for which it is designed, being commo-
dious and we'll lighted. There ia q general sys-
tenn about the factory, and the different do
partments are assigned to different floors. For
instance the office and salesroom is on the Sec
ond floor, back of which is the engine room and
the machinery for the preparation of soles Next
is the sewing and cutting department., where
the uppers are made, and finally in the fourth
story the shoes are put together and finished
In this appa .tment is employed sewing ma
chine OF the most approved pattern for sewing
e4o solch anu upperr toBether. All tne depart
ments are privately arranged, so that person
may pass entirely to the top of the building
without entering any room.
This factory employs about 100 hands, and
turns out 1900 pairs Of shoes weekly. II is deyo-
ted exclusively to the manufacture of ladies'
misses and childrens' shoes, and the specimens
which we saw, this morning were we'll aud caro-
fully made. The general impression of factory
made shoe is inseparably coupled with an indiff-
erence in workmanship, but no one can pass
through the factory OF p Mccullough Il Co. and
come away without tho dissipation of all snch
ideas. Indeed, the greatest care is exercised in
all the departments, and only the best materials
are employed. The machinery, all of the most
approved pattern, is driven by Baxter engine,
of 5-horse power.

The Peaches, Once More--- zoe ,0OO Of Bas-
kets is n "FuIl Crop.0

kets is n Full Crop"
The Germantown Telegraph refers to our pub
lished statement that the Peninsula from pres
ent prospects, will produce q large crop Of
peaches, this year, and compares this with the
letter of a fruit-grower in Kent county, (Md., }
who estimates that there will be four-sevenths of
acrop-or, as the Telegraph says, ''only little
over half' crop.
Now, the explanation Of this ia very simple.
The correspondent places "full crop" at z, 7,000,-
600 baskets, (seven million y very excessive
figure. No such crop has ever yet been marketed
from this Peninsula. But he expects 1000 900
baskets to be sold this year. This will be large
crop. We have never sold more than that quan- =
tity in any one year, except in 1871. the ''big"
season, when the crop was "glut" in the mar
kots. The quantity forwarded. by rail and wa
ter, that year, was probably something over four
millions OF baskets, and may possibly have risen
as high as four and half. We do not speak
definitely, for the simple reason that no reliable
returns Of water shipments have ever been col
lecled until last year, when the COMMERCIAL OBJ
tanned and made up carefully table.
including all routes Of transportation.
II, therefore, the largest crop ever sold was
from four mlllions, to four and half of baskets,
and the Kent county grower expects four mill
lions this year, he certainly sustains our antici-
pations Of a "large" yield. Nobody expects ev-
cry orchard on the Peninsula to be full of fruit.
but we simply say the aggregate amount sent to
market will be up to or over the average of the
pas. four years, il the present favorable condi-
lions are maintained, and that II we really sell
four millions of baskets, 1t will be as many as
ever were sold, 1871 only excepted.
