CHEswOLD, August 3.-Our peach
market is soaring we'll up in price
since the middle of last week. Then
fancy stock brought as high as 81. so.
to-day (Monday) they ranged from
SLIP to $1.52 per fve-eight basket.
The scarcity, of course, makes the
price and it Is suggested in case of a
large crop in the future it would be
we'll for peach growers to knock two
thirds OF the green fruit off, reducing
1t to one-third. To-day D. H. Boyce
one OF our buyers, bought load at
high figure, after which fearing a
falling market expressed them to Will
mlngton via the 1.21 p. m. train and
at 5.39 p. m. he had the account sales
and check for them in his pocket.
This is unusually quick work. An in

variety from the same orchard which
sold last year. at 10 cents per basket,

toned as showing the great difference
in prices over last year.
The first crate of canteloupes for
shipment was brought in to-day bv
Enoch Durham. 1t is said they were
fine too.

a bad reputation in other places is
with US in Chsswold orderly and
peaceable. The difference between the
Italian in Cheswold and the Italian in
many other places it is suggested is
only where the saloon exists and
where 1T does not. Taking the matter
IN this light it would surely seem to |
be an object lesson for many places
that are suffering the evil consequences
OF the two together. With us the
Italians come and 90 to and from their
work usually in groups taking the
street instead of the side walk. con-

where they make their wants known
by signs, thence to their quarters.
