CHEswoLD, Sept. 8.-The tomato
crop is making greater showing here |
than the most sanguine that we have !
heard of had anticipated. Our can
merry received nearly 5000 baskets on
Friday and our buyers loaded the
same day about $500 baskets on cars.
To-day (Monday) our cannery received
about $500 baskets and the buyers
about 24OO. The supply coming so
near equal with the demand, prices on
the market slumped proportionately
to II cents and 13 cents, the respec-
tive days named. It is thought, how
ever, these are the big days of the sea-
son. Peaches are thing of the past
except in small lots.
The mine strike question and its
probable effect on coal prices is, we
find, an absorbing thought In the
minds of this community. Various
plans to meet the situation are being
suggested. The cordwood dealer has
assumed most comfortable attitude
in the matter.
Our baseball sports crossed bats
last Saturday afternoon with picked
nine from Leipsic in which the latter
showed so much confidence of doing
us up that the Cheswold boys have
since had many hearty laughs at the
way they Neipsic) were shut out un-
til the seventh inning, and scoring
only seven to fifteen for CheswOld.
