THE WORLDS MARKETs-THIRD ARTICLE.
Among the several articles in the line Of pat
ented machinery which claim our notice at the
Exposition is the
FLEETWOOD SCROLL SAW.
This pretty and useful little piece OF machin-
cry is manufactured entire, by Trump Brothers,
at their factory in this city. 1t is designed for
saving out brackets, and other ornamental ar
ticles in wood, bone, ivory, metal. or shell, and
is suited to the use, not only of many workers in
those materials, but one of the great number OF
amateurs who wish to indulge artistic tastes in
congenial employment. The extent to which it
is appreciated is shown by the fact that thou
sands OF saws are now being made and sent in
all directions throughout the country - nay,
even to the Old World and the remotest coun-
tries Of Asia. Messrs. Trump Brothers came
here from Connecticut, selecting Wilmington as
a good place for their enterprise, and we are
glad to chronicle their success, for the city's
sake as well as their own.
CONFECTIONERY AND CAKES.
This branch of manufacture is extensively and
attractively represented. The very frat thing
to the left on entering is d. Lemon 4 Co.. dis
play of 1873 different kinds of candies and 32 of
cakes all of their own manufacture, in their
large building on Market st. A little further on,
w. & j. Lang have an equally creditable display
Of cakes and crackers and one which includes
almost the entire list of varieties which they
manufacture more than fifty. In this branch,
we doubt if the Franklin Institute can do better;
it certainly is gratifying display, ,creditable alike
to the manufacturers and the city.
The mere mention Of the number Of samples
shown is a sufficient index to the nature and ex
tent of the business conducted by these firms.
They each occupy buildings erected especially
for their own wants, into which the most ap-
proved machinery has been introduced to facili-
itate manufacture. Each enjoys fine country
trade which has extended itself into Delaware,
Maryland. Pennsylvania and New Jersey and be-
come the basis for an increasing custom which
gradually develops itself each succeeding year.
OAR SPRINGS.
The value and utility CT the Eureka car spring,
of which James p. Hayes is the patentee and
cannot adequately be recognized,
even by the most practical minded, in the dis
play which he has made. The samples look like
80 many pieces of scrap iron as they lay spread
out on the table, but their resistance to pressure
is marvellous, and for the purposes for which
they are designed there is said to be none bet
ter. Their manufacture is q new branch of in
dustry, which has been prosecuted only short
time but wherever they have been introduced
they have given the best of satisfaction and OBJ
tanned an unqualified endorsement.
EARrHES WARE.
But single one of the manufacturers of
earthen ware, George Zeigler, is represented,
and he has confined his display to few speci
mems. They all however,, are handsome pieces
of ware, artistic in design, and as fair samples
of such goods as are manufactured anywhere,
the very best Of our most excellent clay enter
ing into their construction OF kaolin Mr.. Zeig
Ter consumes but small quantity and very lit
tie of it indeed Is worked up in this city. This
is singular and not gratifying fact. The de-
posits of kaoiin are 30 near us, that thousands
of tons pass through Wilmington every year to
l,af m II fnr in ~
queens-ware, aud other potteries at Trenton
Why not here Hundreds of men might be
and ought to be employed in this industry, in
Wilmington
HARNESS, TRUNKS, ETC.
James Conner and We'll & Ringwalt exhibit
harness of their own manufacture, and many
other articles of their line which they keep in
stock. Mr.. Conner also displays trunks and va
lises Of his own manufacture. All the articles
are well and strongly made and are very credita-
BILE samples of this branch of trade.
CIGARS.
The exhibitors of home-made cigars are W.
II. Robinson, e. H. Singles Son, y. W. Shultz
and George Steinicken. They display several
brands. many of which are staple articles in
this city and wherever else they have extended
their trade. They consume to a great extent
tobacco which is grown in New England, in Ma
ryland and other Southern States and in Cuba.
DRIED FRUIT.
Il. M. Carkson x Son, of Bridgeyile, have
sent up samples of their dried fruits with a
miniature design of the apparatus which they
employ. We can only say of tho fruit that it
looks like good article, and appears to have been
carefully dried by process which seems to be
complete.
OTHER ARTICLES OF MACHINERY.
The hydraulic ram, exhibited by Gawthrop Il
Son, is manufactured by Gawthrop K Bro. in
this city, and embodies an important improve
ment patented by the former. This consists in
the manner of putting the ram together by
clamps and keys The joints being packed with
gum, and the keys driven up the pieces of the ma
chime are secured in the finest manner, and yet
can be taken apart in moment with hammer
This is vast Improvement over the plan OF put
ting the machine together with screws, and the
rams made by this firm, some of which have
been in use over twenty-five years, enjoy the
highest reputation.
Messrs Remington, Bayley u 20. exhibit the
Little Giant turbine water wheel. The one on
exhibition is 15 inches in diameter. They 1n-
troll the patent for this machine, and manufac-
ture it at their shops, 413 and 415 East Front
st. Another and smaller wheel is attached to
tho nnlumn nuun of Messra pnaay ,JOneh n
