HALF-FRICE SALEM. ]. McFADDEN.
Milford chronicle., 1893-09-01


PEACHES are fast disappearing, Last
week an average Of about thirty carloads
day were shipped from Milford, and
more would have gone but for a shortage
of cars, while this week only about half
this number have been shipped. The
storm of last week it is estimated de
stroyed a million of baskets OF hue fruit,
ripe and ready for market aud the storm
of Monday night destroyed fully as many
more There is not any doubt but that
Delaware has produced more peaches
this year than ever before. Eyeu the
year 1875, which was until now the big
gest crop eyer grown in the State, has
been eclipsed. On Tuesday Of last week
All cars went over the Delaware Railroad
and this was about ninety more than
passed over the road in any one day in
.seventy-five. It is safe to say seventy
fve more cars would have been loaded on
that day If the railroad company could
have furnished cars TO haul them in.
Milford alone would have shipped fifteen
more cars on this day If cars could have
been had in which to load the fruit. We
are creditablv informed that Wyoming,
Pennington, Bridgeville, Laurel aud other
main line points were supplied with ali
the cars they wanted with the exception
et one day, Tuesday of last week, while
we along the d. NJ and V branch failed
to get cars enough for a full week, and
two or three days were only supplied with
about half the number ordered and nee
essary to carry the fruit TO market, The
agent Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
this point did as he liked with the few
cars he had at his disposal and dealt them
out to favored few in pairs aud double
pairs while those less favored cursed and
swore and raised the devil in general be-
cause they could not get even a single
car i'll which 10 place the fruit Of their
regular shippers. For this we do not
blame the head or heads of this great cor
poration, we blame w. 7. Vaules, the
agent. If be is allowed to again manage
the company's affairs during the heigth
Of big peach season they, the head or
heads of thii company will be to blame, |
Every thing has gone wrong with the
proper handling of the immense crop, /
First the shortage of cars, then two smash |
ups within tell hours on the main line, fol- |
lowed so quickly by the terrible storm Of
Wednesday night of last week and last
he storm of Monday night of the present |
week. Tie prices have proved low, aud |
It has been impossible against all these /
odds for the grower to get any money /
scarcely at all out of his fruit crop. /
are grown IN too many sections
If the country to ever again pay hand /
iomely in Delaware.

the merry go round" which is in good
stvle and shape and runs by steam. It
has been we'll patronized by some OF the

Our town is full of peaches, and large
number of buyers prices have been very
low. aud in some cases the shipments
have returned the shippers nothing.
Nice fine fruit has sold for ten and fifteen
cents per basket. The factories are in
full working order and driving lively
business The canning industry is a
great benefit TO the working class Of Peo-

SINCE Monday fully nine-tenths of all
the peaches at the depot have been
bought by spectators and but one tenth
shipped on consignment. Prices on Mon
day ranged from twenty to thirty-hve
cents; on Tuesday the same prices pre-
vailed; OH Wednesday the Spectators
bid against each other and run the prices
up as high as fifty cenis. Many who had
started to load on consignment had to
buy to fill their cars aud there was some
fun for all on "Wall Street and some
money, too, for the growers. Prices have
ranged much better in the city markets
this week than last, but the fruit on Mou-
day ard Tuesday was of poor quality and
carried miserably. Since Tuesday the
quality of the fruit has materially improved
and yesterday much good fruit was of
fered and sold from twenty-five to forty
FIVE cents a basket. This week will close
the season with the exception of three
varieties, mocks, Salways aud Fox's
Seedlings. These varieties will go into
market in competition with the best of
the Jersey fruit aud low prices will be the
result. Most of these varieties will be
handled, however, by the local Gamers
aud evaporators, but it is understood that
three or more buyers for Baltimore can
ners will be here to bid against the local
buyers. Another week will see the end
of peaches in Delaware, and with it closes
the biggest crop of all time.

YESTERDAY excursion TO Rehoboth
and Ocean City was composed of twelve
cars and they were packed to the steps
Of the platforms before they reached the
objective points. The train passed Mil
ford forty minutes late and took OH Is2
passengers who had purchased tickets
and probably fifty more who had been
refused tickets by the agent, under tele-
graphic orders from Clayton. Those who
understood the liabilities Of the railroads
did not feel the least put out by being re-
fused tickets. They knew what they
were doing and simply got on the train
pre- pared to offer the cash for transporta-
ton as advertised by the railroad COM
pany At least two hundred people
boarded the train here and fully fifty
timid ones who went to the station
the intention of going failed to get on
after being refused tickets. It was the
biggest excursion of the season. Fonr-
fiiths of all went to Ocean City and the
one-fifth remaining went to Rehoboth.

yield for Delaware. In future remember
that 1875 is no more TO be referred to iii
comparison. Not more than four fifths
Of the peaches on the Peninsula have
been picked at all while at least two mil
lion baskets Of the best fruit was destroyed
by the storms Of August twenty-third and
twenty eight, and another million rotted
because Of the inability Of the Pennsyl-
