salem Farmers are Tempted

Salem, N. j., Sept. 2.-For miles
around Canton the roads are lined
with posters announcing that "the
highest price will be paid for toma.
toes at the wharf-10, 900 baskets
wanted,' and the farmers cannot re-
sist the temptation to drive to the
wharf rather than to the local can.
merry. One load, containing 70 bas.
kets. coming IA miles. took the road
to the high bidder and the farmer re
ceived $15. and was given 72 new
baskets to take home.
The competition between outside
buyers and the canning firms is still
keen. The latter have increased the
price from $6 to So per ton, although
the former price was what was con-
tracted for. One man sold load to
an outside buyer, but the home firm
secured an injunction and he must de-
liver according to contract. Some of
the growers have positively refused to
sell to the outside buyers, even though
offered double what they are getting
at the canneries, and they expect the
local firms to look after them next
year. 1t is expected the reduced pack
this year will deplete the Immense
stock OF old goods on hand, and this
will result in better demand for
cannen goods than last year, when the
low price nearly ruined some Of the
smaller firms.

OYSTER is
ONCE MORE KING

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.--The first big
| shipments of oysters for the season
from the Maurice Cove, N. j., district
were received in this city yesterday by
dealers who say that the prospects are
for a good season, with an average
supply. About 800 sacks of oysters,
one-fourth primes and the rest Gull
| ings. were brought across New Jersey
| by the railroads for the big oyster
dealers along Front and Dock streets
| and Delaware avenue. This is con.
sidered good initial shipment, and
the dealers say the bivalves are in fine
condition.
The first shipments were made by
| rail to meet the immediate demands,
and it will be several days before any
oyster boats are expected up the river.
Nearly all the early oysters sold here
come from the Maurice Cove beds,
shipments not being made from the
Chesapeake Bay until later.
There are now about 400 boats in
the oyster fleet at Maurice Cove, and
some Of the large dealers who have
their own beds say that unless there
| is extreme cold weather and conditions
remain favorable there will be sup.
ply sufficient to meet the demands, al
though thousands Of the old oysters
| were killed by the extreme cold and
| the unfavorable conditions last winter.
A number of the big dealers have their
own beds, including George Y. Shock,
Hagemann & Pole, J. H. Shillingburg
q Co., 7. A. Rodgers and M. P. How.
lett, whose planting of the beds for
the season have proven successful,
though the natural beds are the most
prolific.
The planting of the bed consists of
the dumping overheard of loads Of
clean, solid oyster shells after the fish
ing season is ended. The shells are
evenly distributed over the bed of the
bays or coves where the oysters spawn
Messrs. Hagemann & Pole yesterday
had on exhibition several shells which
had been taken from the beds on which
myriad Of little oysters were grow
ing like barnacles on a rock. The
shell was covered with the embyo
oysters and the oystermen say that il
out of these little ones one tenth de.
veloped the percentage would be good
and the crop sufficient.
Incidentally. Mr.. Haeemann saws
the man who fishes for oysters in
Maurice Cove beds is much .maligned
individual and that il persons who
paint him desperate would go and
see him at work they would change
their opinion. The oystermen, he
says, make $45 and $50 month, be-
sides being provided for, which is
equivalent to S65 or $40, and that at
this price the work is now attracting
intelligent men.
Dealers quoted prices on cullingsjin
the local market yesterday at an aver.
age OF from $8 so to SO per thousand,
with primes proportionately higher.
Pretty much all of the dealers in
Bridgeton received their first ship.

ment OF Maurice River Coves on Sat.
urday. There we're hundred or more
sacks received, and every oyster bar
was piled high with them. Primes
ran large, and they were especially
fat and in good condition for so early
in the season. A little cooler weather
will make the oysters as good as they
ever were.

Secret Service"

While romantic war plays have held the
attention of the theater- going public ever
since the great civil conflict, there has
never been a production before the people
that seemed to strike just the same re-
sponsive thrill in the breasts of the Specta-
tors that William Gillettes Secret Service
inspired when it was produced here several
years ago. This stirring play is to be given
again on Friday night at the Lafayette
Square Theater by the members of the
Carroll Institute Dramatic Club
While it is rather ambitious effort
for amateurs 1t is nevertheless promised
that the production shah be of the highest
character in every particular. The club
has been fortunate in securing the services
of Mr.. Robert Hickman, late stage mana
ger with Gillette. and Miss Annie Russell,
to put the piece on. Mr.. Hickman staged
the play when it was originally produced.
The cast will include all the old favorites
of the Carroll company. M. Ed Walsh
will play the part of Capt. Tnorne and Miss
Loughran will have the leading female part.
Others in the cast include John J. Nolan,
w. S. Mccarthy, James O'Shea, MIS-.
Leach, DR.. Paul Evans. Mrs. Nora Cocker
