The Prices ofGrain

The market for corn, which has
been remarkably dull all Winter from
two causes, low prices and damp con-
ditiOn of the grain, is not likely to inn
prove according to the following from
the Philadelphia Press of Monday:
The past week saw at its close a
sharp break in wheat and corn, which
is generally accepted as the end of any
hope of high prices for our cereals this
year. Ordinarily break on the Chi
cago Produce Exchange is of no more
real consequence to business than the
falls and rallies on the Stock Ex-
change. This break seems to mean
something. 4 short wheat crop in the
United States has come in a year when
India has reduced wheat to a price
never before seen save in years when
our wheat crop was enormous.
For two months India wheat in Lon
don has been dollar wheat" and the
new Indian crop, the largest on record,
is six weeks distant. Railroad trou-
bles have added their share to the sud-
den fall in large staples. Rates are
lower than for two years past, there is
less grain to come East than for six
years back, and there are two more
lines to carry it than in any year be-
fore-facts which carry their own conf
ment"

Death Of John A. Cavendcr

John a. Lavender, one of our citi-
Zens, widely known in Kent and New
Castle counties, died ut his residence in
this town on Friday evening after
painful illness of several months. in the
9th year of his age. When boy he
was apprenticed to John and Henry
Bell, then prominent carpenters in
Odessa to learn the business, but about
the time of reaching his majority went
South where he resided for several
years. On returning he settled in this
town, and shortly after married Miss
Frances Reynolds, who, after a mar
ried life of between forty and fifty
years, with four children, survives
him. On settling down here he COM
menccd that busy life that character
lied him to the last. lie was IL man
Of great industry and energy as we'll as
acuteness in business contracts. OF in
dOmitable push and full of resources.
when one measure failed he was al
ways ready to devise another. 1t was
thus in time Of business depression
over forty years ago, when building for
time almost ceased, that he started
what afterwards proved AN impetus to
the development of the upper part OF
the town Delaware street South of
Commerce was then tillable land.
He bought of Jacob Raymond a lot,
then another and another, until it was
all soon built up between that and
CumminS street. At that time there
were few houses West of Union street
and the Episcopal Church, where now
it is one of the most closely built sec
tiOns of the town. He somehow
impaired much of his driving spirit to
those in his employ, and in this and
New Castle county where he erected Il
great many buildings, his gang of
wOrkmen were everywhere known for
their dispatch of business. Nearly
thirty years ago he bought the Reubclle
tract just over the creek and became
interested in agriculture and especially
few years later, in peach growing, in
which he was recognized as one of our
leading authorities. DuriHg the last
ten or fifteen years his time was divi-
ded between carpentering and farm
ing, with greater preference for the
latter, to which he was preparing to
give his undivided attention when
overtaken by the disease that finally
terminated fatally.
His funeral was largely attended ON
Monday by relatives and friends. After
the services at the house, conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Rigg, assisted by Revs.
Umsted and Gordon, his remains were
conveyed to Glenwood Cemetery for
interment

We gave last week an extract from
the temperance sermon of the Rev. J.
ID. Rigg, delivered at the M. T.. Church
the previous Sunday. That was on
the logic of prohibition: the extract

on the relative bearing to society Of the
liquor saloon, the Church and the pub
lie school.
"Phe traffic is one of the most serious
obstacles to the progress of civilization
and religion. l regard that as drawing
1t in mild colors. That which, from its
very nature, can never produce any,
thing but moral pestilence, especially
when we are forced to see it so widely
spread over, and so deeply permeating
society, must be one of the chief factors
OF the pit in defeating the gracious
work OF the gospel. There are three
times as many dealers in the licensed
liquor trade land we say nothing as to
the large number og those who sell
without license) as there are Christian
ministers In all denominations I'm the
state. Each dealer has an average
community of about four hundred in
which to do his deadly work. At
what serious disadvantage the insti
tutions of religion are held Need we
wonder at the slow progress made by
the church of God? Need we be sur
prlsed at the rapid spread of wick
edness, and every species of crime {?
