Potato Prices Low

For a few years past there has been a
shortage in white potatoes and the prices
have been unusually high. AS a conse-
queuce farmers have planted more white
potatoes this year and fewer tomatoes,
because of the low price of tomatoes last
year.
A few white potatoes have been dug
during the past month. The price in
Wilmington the first week in June was
20 cents a basket, but is now down to 80
and SIS cents, which leaves the grower
about % to 269 cents a basket.
The extensive growers in the lower part
OF Gloucester and Salem counties have
begun to dig, but the price is low. The
price started last year at So to 1925 a
barrel. This year the shipping market
opened at 81. % a barrel because OF the
large shipments from the South. The
wet weather has caused the cobbler variety
to be Of poor quality with a black streak
running through the centre, a form OF
rot. The majority OF those dug are thus
affected.

A Thirty-two Mile Swim

Charles B. Durborrow made a record
for long distance swimming in the Della
ware River last Sunday. AT $50 he
started from Market Street ferry, Camden,
went half a mile below Market Street
wharf, Chester, and back to Walnut
Street wharf, Philadelphia, a distance OF
80 miles.
Last year Durborrow swan from Ches-
ter to Philadelphia, just half the distance,
in five hours, 40 minutes and 30 seconds,
and he declared at the time that the fol-
lowing year he would go there and back,
a feat he was able to prove to his friends
that he was capable OF accomplishing.
| and, although the tide had u itself out
| ON the return journey, so that he was I'M
| able to flush at the starting point, yet
| his swim is a most remarkable me-, He
| covered the distance in IL hours and IA
| minutes.
Durborrow was accompanied in a small
boat by George B. Smith, q Chester fsll.
erman, who knows every inch OF the
river, and all the swings of the tides, and
the success OF his swim was largely duf
to the good plotting that he received from
the expert waterman. E. F. Warne, {
friend, also accompanied him, and looked
after his needs in the way of nourishmen'
which consisted of a bottle of beef tea
lust before he turned to 60 back from
Chester and some crackers taken on tn,
way up.
The steamer Henry A. Haber Also fol
lowed, with friends aboard.
He reached Market Street wharf, Ches
ter, at 10. 43, just five hours and 81 min
utes after the start, The tide was not al
spent when Durborrow got opposite tn
wharf and he had to keep on swimming
until half a mile below, and then go il
shore and breast the current until he GO
the full benefit. of the tide on it's returj
trip. Fifty-three minutes were consumes
in this part OF the swim, during wliic
time he was given nourishment, takin
beef tea from a bottle, treading water.
Durborrow is % years old, six feet, one
quarter inch tall and weighs lS8 pounds
He is a member of several Organization
. including the Philadelphia Swimmin
Club, Riyerton Country Club, the Arg
Swimming Club, the Central K. NC, A

The Tomato Market

Shipments OF eaily tomatoes have been
increasing this week, willie the price has
gone down faster.
Last Saturday the price closed at $3.50
a basket in Wilmington. On Monday it
| opened at $50 a basket and went down
to 81. On Tuesday they went down to 75e
and Oh Wednesday and Thursday to soc.
Fancy stock brought a few cents more.
The shipment TO Wilmington has been
good on CaIts. Edw. Justices and Geo.
Jordan's boat because OF their accommo-
dating manner and care in handling
truck.
The shipment of tomatoes to Philadel-
plia was beguniast week OH the Rambler,
Capt. David A. English. Denny Brothers
| put on the steamer Numsen this week.
Their largest freight was about 1000 bas-
kets on Wednesday. About 500 baskets
were taken OIL Thursday.
The general complaint of produce men
is that the farmers ship the tomatoes too
green. On the other hand the farmers
wish to get off as many as possible while
the price is good, because it falls so rapid
ly, that the delay OF n day i'll shipment
means several dollars, as will be noticed
between last Saturdays price and that
on Monday.
Last Saturday Matthew Mitchell paid
81. so a crate for quite green tomatoes to
ship to Boston. On Monday they were
worth only $1.10 a crate, when lie bought
100 crates. A carload OF $50 crates were
| shipped to Boston and two carloads to
New York.
On Tuesday the price was down TO 75c
a crate and on Wednesday and Thursday
| they were frcm 60c to zoe a crate, accord
ing to quality, This Friday the price is
SOC a crate.
Mr.. Mitchell makes as good a market
as Swedesboro and his arrangement fol

year has made the market for early to
matoes at this station better than eve
before. By shipping 30 many in cars re
lieves the Wilmington and PlIiladeiphi;
