Southern Cotton Manufacturers in the Lead

Philadelphia, October 2S.-The sixty
third semi-annUal meeting Of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers Assocl-
alton, closed today. Arthur Parkln-
son. of Providence, r. l.. read a paper
on Manufacture and Export of Cotton
Goods" Mir. Parkinson said in part:
1T is well known that southern man
ufacturers, with the present conditions,
can undersell or compete easily WITH
the eastern mills on medium and coarse
fabrics and the future looks dark Tor
New England. The facilities for manu-
featuring have been SO increased that
in many lines of goods the existing
manufacturing establishments can pre-
duce a vast. amount more than what
| the United States a consume, and IL
seems each year will cause stagnatlon
for the industry and, of course, the
usual stoppage of mills during certain
| periods. AS a result of this continued
competition in certain lines Of goods fol-
the home market, the prices are low,
wages are low and tariff legislation
cannot help matters, for the mercnan'
and jobber will only buy in the cheap
est market, and hat means southern
looms will be engaged ahead and tht
New England mills must take what !:

of the campaign where the Tammany
nag has made his appearance. 1t
was at the big meeting attended by
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, and

mittee that welcomed them and he sat
proudly on the platform smiling for
his guests when the meeting opened.
The audience was a highly enthusiastic
one. Mayor Harrison was on the plat
form and the Chicago delegation Oc-
cupied front seats in the body Of the
hall. Owing to the repeated interrupt
tons at the Tammany gatherings,
care was taken to keep Henry George
shouters out of the hall. Former Am
bassador James b. Eustis was cheered
when he rose to speak, n during the
delivery of his speech he was literally
applauded. The Chicago men were
warmly greeted by the crowds in the
galleries. There was renewed cheering
when Mayor Harrison appeared on the
platform accompanied by Richard
Croker.
One of the most remarkable things
that has ever occurred at Tamman5
hall took place just then. Some o n
called for three cheers for Richard
Croker. The response was a storm o

cheer was given, and the man wh'

PEACHES FAST FALLING OFF.
THE FINE FRUIT IN GREAT DE
MAND FOR PRESERVING PUR-
POSES, BUT SCARCE.


Peaches are becoming remarkably
scarce in Nhe markets. and there is a far
greater demand for the fruit for pre-
serving purposes than there is fruit for
the demand.
The peach market on Fourth street
and the commission merchants on King
street. are fairly well stocked with pre-
serving peaches and they get good
prices. An authority on the subject of
handling peaches for the consumer
gives the following advice:
To preserve peaches weigh them
carefully and allow three-quarters of a
pound Of sugar to a pound OF fruit. Peel
with a keen-edged silver fruit knife. An
easier way to remove the skin is by
plunging them in boiling water Tor a
minute and rubbing the skin OFF, but
peaches treated in this way do not
make as fine preserve.
Tear the peaches apart, save half the
kernels; crack ahem and blanch them
by pouring hot water over them and
then rubbing off the skin. Make a syrup
by allowing a cup of water to every
pound of sugar and letting it boil for a
minute Add the peaches and the
blanched kernels to the boiling syrup
and let all boil for ten minutes. Put
them first into cans or jars and cover.
When all the peaches are disposed Of
in this way let the syrup boil down
for another ten minutes and then cover
the peaches in the jars with II, filling TO
the brim; then seal.
To make branded peaches allow six
pounds of sugar and a quart of white
brandy to nine pounds of fruit. Drop
the peaches into boiling water for a
minute and rub off the SKINS with a
flannel cloth. Make a syrup. allowing a
cup of water to every pound of the
sugar. and let it boil for a minute. Add
the peaches and let them boil until they
are tender enough to be pierced with a
straw. Draw the kettle to the back OF
the stove and add the quart OF white
brandy. Put the peaches in the jars
pour an equal amount Of syrup intc
each jar and seal them. Let them
stand for six months before using.
