There is nothing new to note in financial
matters. Money is easier, that is there is
more to loan, though the rate is firm at 10
per cent per annum, but there is consider
able sums on the streets and we think a
slight decline in rates may be looked for in
few days.
Exchange on New York is firm. The
banks charge - per thousand premium,
while they buy at par. Sight cotton drafts
on New York are taken at 4 off.
Gold is firm, closing in New York at 112
after opening at 111i. Our dealers pay ITO
for gold coin and Ill for gold coupons,
while they hold at 112. Silver is taken at

THE teacher of an infant school had her
attention called to one little fellow who
was listening to what she said. She had
been teaching her class the elements of
English history, and wishing to see if he
knew what she had been talking about, she
suddenly asked: "Johnny, who killed King
Rufus?" With a surprised look, he replied,
Why, didn't know he was dead"

dAs E1PLOhION IN THE SHOE FACTORf-THE BUILD
ING SERIOUSLY DAMAGED AND ONE LIFE LOST.
Especial to the Commercially
CoATEsvIILE July, 20.
gas explosion, involving much damage and
the loss of one life, occurred here, last eve
ming, about 0 o'clock About that hour, Messrs.
G. Babb and his son Willie, F. Fl. Beckel, and
H. A Bessey, foreman descended into
the cellar of the shoe factory to repair leak in
a gas pipe, and when Mr. Babb struck match
to light a lamp terrific explosion ensued
which knocked about thirty feet out of the side
of the building and letting the third floor down
upon the second, which was stationary.
All the persons in the cellar were badly burned,
and it is feared that Messrs. Babb, Sr., and Bes-
sey were fatally injured. Willie Babb, the boy
has since died.
When the building was first erected gas was
introduced from the borough works, but becom-
ing expensive the pipes were withdrawn and a
gasoline apparatus put in to supply the gas.
The pipes leaked somewhere, and it was in en-
deavoring to find this leak that the explosion
occurred.
The building Was an entirely new one, having
been completed only about five months ago. 1t
is thought to be 80 badly damaged that its re-
pair is impossible. and if business is resumed it
will have to be in new building. The loss has
not yet been estimated.
The factory gave employment to abont 100

sheriff Armstrong has levied upon the land
upou which the Soldiers Monument stands, at
tbo intersection Of Delaware and Pennsylvania
.yenues. and has advertised the same for sale
IN the highest bidder by auction. The writ
una issued at the instance of r. Scott, the build
nv of the monument, who still has an unpaid
clam against the Association which built it,
and who has resorted to this plan to secure his
money. -,
NOT seems to be involved in doubt The Sol
der's Monument Association has no title to the
rround upon which the monument stands. 1t
Mas donated them upon condition that they
would grade the lot, enclose the monument and
nave about it. The deed was prepared several
wears ago and is still in the hands OF Samuel M.
harrington ESD, only awaiting the compliance
with the conditions prescribed in 1t before it is
transferred and becomes absolute. 1t will, there
fare. he a rather difficult matter to sell as the
property of the Association that which does
not belong TO IL.
The Association is unable to complete the
monument and pay off their indebtedness. They
represent that they have enough available sub
scrptions to finish the work, but are unwilling
to collect and apply these until enough is con-
trbnted TO pay the outstanding debts for as
soon as the work is completed they obtain title
to the land as explained above, and it
may be sold to liquidate unpaid claims. Still
the association do not wish to escape the pay
ment of their debts. They are hoping that some
benevolent person will help them out of their
difficulty, and are only waiting for this relief.
The whole amount now due by the Association

Of this sum hinges the early competition of the
work. About 50 900 have already been expend-

SECOND EDITION.
The Peach Season.

| BEGINNING OF THE SHIPMENTS BY THE CARLOAD
| THE SEASON FULLY INAUGURATED.
For the past ten days, scattering crates Of
peaches have been gathered up at the stations
along the Delaware r. r. and freighted to New
York and Philadelphia, but it was not unit
Monday last that the shipments by the carload
began. On that day the first extra peach
| train was put upon the road, and it brought uT
| forty-nine cars, thirty-three of which went tc
| Jersey City and sixteen to Philadelphia As
| compared with last year, when the season was
| late, the first tram being put upon the road Oh
the 4th Of August, the opening shipments of this
year are in excess nineteen carloads. and nine
greater than the first regular shipment of 1872.
The prices obtained vary with the quality OF
the fruit, some bringing as much AZ 81 per
crate, and some AZ low as 81. All depends upon
the quality but it is very probable that, consid-
ering its scarcity this season, there will be no
complaints of gluts, and good prices will be
realized until the close of the shipments. The
fruit will be greatly promoted in value of the
experiment Of some of the growers i'll former
years, viz the assortment OF the fruit, is gen.
orally practiced this season, separating the best
quality from the inferior, and sending them into
market in separate crates or baskets. great
er amount of money may in this way be realized
from the crop, and its very shortness may be
made an element of profit.
THE ORDER OF RIPENINd.
A Dover correspondent Of the N. Y. Tribune
thus discourses upon the several varieties in
their order of ripening "After the Hales there
will be few Troths and early Yorks. These are
both superior in quality to Hales, but the guam
tity will be very small indeed; and in view of the
demand will be as nothing. After these are
gone there will be none worth naming until the
Stumps come in. This is indeed anobe peach,
but the quantity will be even less than the last
crop. and will not be felt ON the market After
tba Stumpa tbere will he none till near tha Last
of September, when our last peach the Smock,
comes in. This is large, firm, yellow peach,
good for canning, but not good for eating, as it
lis a little sour. With the Smock will close the
season of 1874 for Delaware and Maryland
peaches, season that has disappointed the
hopes and expectations of many grower, who
has hundreds of acres and thousands of dollars
devoted to this branch of agricultural industry"
THE COMMERCIAL WEEKLY SUMMARY
will be given as usual this season, for the bene-
fit of our country readers, and we begin with it
to-day, with only two days shipments, in order
to keep within the week as covered by our
weekly edition, The DELAWARE TRIBUNE.
