Peach Growers Meeting.

Pursuant to a call a meeting Of the peach
growers Of Kent county was held In Sarde's
Hall. Camden, on Monday last, which was
attended by about one hundred representa-
tive growers from the peach belt Of this pen
insula. Col T. L. Martin, Of Seaford was
made chairman and after calling the meet
ing to order stated the object Of the meeting
which was to determine the best and most
profitable method Of disposing Of the present
crop of fruit now upon the trees. The dis
cussion became general and was participated
in by some Of the most prominent aud best
known growers IN the State. The assembly
finally concluded that the system as en-
ployed BY the Delaware Fruit Exchange Of
few years ago was the best, and il was
adopted as being not only the best but the
safest plan vet discovered, and all the grown
ers present pledged themselves 10 sell thei-
fruit only through the exchange, The Del
aware Fruit Exchange was organized about
six years ago and its membership consists
entiiely of growers. The organization places
at different shipping points clerk, treasurer
and auctioneer, and employs several labors
ers to load cars. First the buyers must
come here aud purchase their fruit from the
wagon. When the load Of fruit IS driven up
to the station. If the grower wishes to sell
through the exchange, he simply resigns It
into the hands of the clerk and auctioneer
The buyers are invited to inspect the fruit.
Then the auctioneer mounts the wagon and
sells the load to the highest bidder. The
buyer pays the treasurer Of the exchange,
who in turn pays the owner ofthe fruit, de-
Quoting cent per basket as the commission,
and the thing is done. The farmer drives
away with an empty wagon, but with the
price Of the load in his pocket. Then the
laboreTs employee by the exchange hustle
the fruit into the cars. By this plan the
grower does not have to run the gauntlet of
the city commission men and knows at once
what he is to get for his fruit

PHILADELPHIA monday, july, 1891.
A puzzling paradox appears
in India Silks. They have been
scarce and popular and yet we
offer a lot this morning of the
rare and sought for sorts at IS
per cent off. More testimony
to the solid truth, aggregation
rs ecOnO0lI.
They came late to a New
York importer, and although
there is a general retail de-
mand for them, the season is
so far gone that their whole
sale time might be over before
the retailers could be reached.
Shall the importer wait and
take chances. shall he secure a
sale to a single great buyer for
the whole lot? We offer. He
sells. Here then are 100
pieces India Silk, "a inches,
black grounds, choice designs,
worth 81 which you can buy at
75c.
With them other troops Of
Silk cheapness. so pieces
Shanghai, Fl inches, 75c, that
have been $3.50; a lot of India,
90 inches, in black and light
grounds 81; $50 pieces Oolah
Wash Silks, % styles, at 75c;
and a lot of black brocaded
India Silks. at 75c from 81.
1t is our opinion that this lit
lie list Of Summer Silks gives

THE Delaware railroad people decline
10 make public their estimate of the size
ofthe present peach crop,on the grounds
that the newspapers have criticised it
heretofore. The trouble with the Del.
aware railroad people heretofore has been
their autocratic management; which has
alleniated the people from them and
bred spirit that resulted in the Inter
State Commerce decision against them.
The Delaware railroad management
must foster the industries Of Delaware or
the prejudices and grievances of our peo-
pie will take practical shape to bring
about competition-which is a healthy
condition for both carrier and shipper.
