Dirt and depravIty go hand in hand.

Centreyille, Nd, March A.-From
present Indications, this Peninsula will
have one of the best peach crops it has
had for . number of year. The winter
has been an excellent one for the trees.
The weather has been cold enough to
Keep the trees from budding, and unless
there comes very warm spell, causing
the trees to bud too soon, 1T is almost
certain that there will be a good crop.
A crop of 1000, 900 baskets Of peaches
would be only an ordinary crop, yet at
30 conts a basket it would mean 81, 600, :
600 distributed among the people Of
Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. In addition to this, the
peach buyers would pay thousands of
dollars to steamboats, and railroad lines
for transportation charges, and much
Of this would come back to the people,
because it would be maid out for sddi.
tional labor and equipment. The
basket factories in this section would
also be busy, and this would give en-
ploymept 10 numerous people. -

with the demand showing little change
from the closing days of last week. Most
buyers are attending to current require
ments only, and the few DESTROYS of plac-

COTTON.
New York, Oct. There was great ex-
element in the cotton market today
started by the improvement at Liverpool,
which was greater than the trade here
anticipated, and which became the direct
cause of an advance of three to seven
points in the local market. Following the
opening call excitement increased on an
influx of orders from all quarters and
prices further advanced nineteen to
twenty one points. Factors in the fore
noon were very strong, private cables,
mostly indicating an increasing inquiry
from English spinners, while accounts
from American spinners were also of
more bullish character. The latter have
heretofore held off, relying upon the
movement to break the market. They
were discouraged today by better indica-
lions in the market for cotton goods,
while the movement of the new crop does
not promise them the stock accumula-
tions they depended upon. The South
ern spot holders were reported to be firm
ing up pretty well and overcoming the
weakening tendency they showed last
week. The market had a few setbacks
under realizing, but in the main held
a strong upward tendency on a current
belief that the report from Washington
would be bullish Indications of renewed
rains in Texas, where there has been al
ready too much moisture, added to the
anxiety of the shorts and to the courage
of the bulls. An enormous export demand
for cotton In the South was also stimu
lating factor in the market. Room trad
ers gave enthusiastic support. The mark

points.

the organization of this team and an
appointment OF an efficient manager
and captain will be made. Suoh a
team as is proposed will not be an ex.
pensive luxury and would make an en-
viable record for Our city.
The Importation of talent is of
! course some times necessary to operate
successful base ball club, but in that
event it does not always prove the
drawing card OR winner expected
Local talent is generally discouraged
| IN their efforts to advance, especially
in a city of medium population
Give the home players chance and If
found lacking in playing strength,
that will occur before the season opens
for hard battle.
Sacramento, Cal, neglected a young
and ambitious ball player for several
seasons and last year was compslled
to place him on the team. For a while
his playing was nothing alarming, but
gradually gaining nerve aud knowledge
OF the fine points, became "Dhenom. 1"
This year he is playing infield on the
st. Louis national league team, and
touted as fast enough for the best COM
pauy.
The question is, have we not some
great ball player in this city whose op-
portunity has not been opened to him?
Give them a chance and time will tell:
but to the educated eye of real old
base ball enthusiast. it is already seen
that few diamond discoveries will be
announced next year among our own
body of base bail representa- tatives.
Surely this means red hot year
with plenty OF great ball playing, the
claim of it being the greasest year ap-
pearing to contain more truth than fc-
ticn. Those OF the team able to be
present will practice Wednesday and
Friday afternoon OF this week.
