New converts, inquirers and petitioners
Tor prayers aggregated quite an encour-
aging number last evening at Hanover
ChuIch, Sixth and King streets. The at
tendance was about 900 and increasing,
as Is also the deep and solemn interest.
Pastor Swartz preached on the Holy
Spirit, and led the great congregation
clearly through under HIS guid Ice.
Pastor Hickman of the First Church
breaches this evening at 2. IS sharp Aim
TO get there by 7.80 and get good seats.
May he stand up solid and strong in
facing the great audience he is expected
TO have. He preached sermon ht First
Church and Central on "The Widows
Cruise of Oil" that greatly enlightened
and encouraged Christians. Fray for
him.
And, ss never before in your lives, pray
nightly for Wilmington to have now q
great revival. He is not only an impetu-
GUS Peter, but cuts like a two-edged
sword. He is all alive, and docs not ap-
pear to be one OF the dead christians In
any sense. He is clearly called TO VII
mington, and we expect him 10 do a
great work for our people. Go and hear
him and do not find lanlt, but rather
pray for the saving Of many souls.
There are only three more meetings ap-
pointed, and you Will miss an intescriba-
BILE great blessing If you are not in at the
baptism that is being IrayerlullF desired
by very many christiaus.

"The entire potato producs of the coun-
try In 1888 was 2S0, 600, ,000 bushels, an
increase over that OF 1857 of upwards of
5000 900 bushels" said Mr.. 4. G. DAY.
export, one of the largest dealer4 In pota-
toes in Philadelphia, on Satui day, to a
reporter, who wss in search of general
information on the subject. Mr.. Daven-
port further stated that the principal
potato producing States last year were
New York, Michigan, Illinois al d Mime
sofa. Dakota is also coming intp promi-
nence as potato growing State, her crop
last year exceeding that of the previous
year fOur-fold.
None OF the potatoes grown in the
Western States reach the Philadelphia
markets, as the present low price OF the
tubers aud the great expense Of freight
would not warrant shipments. This
market receives its supplies from the
States of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. The crop In Eastern
Pennsylvania was very large and the po.
Ia oes OF excellent quality.
Mr.. Davenport adds that potatoes were
exceptionally free from disease last year,
considering the large crop. Early in the
season the rot prevailed to some extent In
Maine and the province Of New Bruns-
wick, but the later crop was not affected.
There will be no .mportations this year,
Mr. Davenport says, from the British
Provinces or from Scotland, except what
be himself wi import from Prince Ed
ward Island for seed. The total lmpor-
tations last year were about 5000, 600
bushels, and, he remarked, 'ff the price
of potatoes In the sections named ad-
vance 20 per cent, we can exp port them
with profit"
The Philadelphia market has been
rather too full of potatoes, but at present
1t is steady with ample supplies. They
were selling on Saturday, out OF the store,
for so and 60 cents bushel for the best
stock, against IS and 90 cents at the
same time last year. There are said to
be great many potatoes yet ID come to
market, and unless the farmers conclude
TO feed them to their stock there is q
probability that the prices will remain
low for the entire season.

tho election Of Mr.. HIagtn to the United

The outcome of the Senatorial contest
ia Delaware may be recorded with pccu-
liar satisfaction. 1t is triumph oil the
best political forces OF our time over the
worst, of character aud merit over bo s.
ism and boodle, and It < YES to D. laware
