FLOWER DAY.

The Annual Work Of a Mission That
Takes Sunlight Into the Sick Room.
Flower Mission. as usual. was observed
yesterday all over the country, and the
thousands of shut-ins-the sick and sor-
rowing, the aged and aff1 1icted, and all who
are in hospitals, asylums and jails were
remembered with aDouquet tied with white
ribbon and bearing text of scripture.
The Loyal Legion girls under the direc-
ton of Miss Addie Hazard and other
members of the Y. w. G. 7. o., were busy
yester morn carrying sweet messages hid
den i'll fragrant flowers, and many shut
in'of Middletown was gladdened at being
remembered on Flower Mission Day. Those
who for years have been active in this work
find it one of their greatest pleasures. But
there are also some sad phases to it, for
each succeeding 9th of June marks changes
in the list OF the shut1ins. Of the 40 per-
ago, six have been removed by death, and
new names are added to the list of sick or
sorrowing, while few are year after year
found the same patient sufferers confined
to their invalid's chair or beds of pain. To
carry fragrance and sunshine into their
lives is the work of this Mission which
was. founded by Miss Jennie Cassidy,
herself lifelong invalid who a few
months ago was called to the. land where
flowers bloom forever, and the sun is always
bright But though she is gone, her beauti-
full work continues and thousands blessed
her name and memory yesterday as mes
sages of love and sympathy reached the
dark places of earth.

WHEAT DECLINES.
TT REACHES THE LOWEST POINT
SINCE WAR TIMES.
FORCED OUT OF ELEVATORS
By the Chicago Banks Calling in Loans
Making wheat Decline in Price SO
That it would be Made an Export
to Europe Instead OF Gold.

Wheat has taken big tumble.in the past
few DAYS, and the price has gone down
until it is quoted at. the lowest figures II
has reached at any lime since the war
Various causes are assigned for this, but
the principal one is that it was done by the
Chicago banks who wanted to force the
grain out of the elevators.
The banks. by calling in loans, forced the
price of grain down, SO that instead OF SO
much gold being exported. wheat would be
shipped to Europe.
e. L. Rodgers who buys great deal o.
wheat in this section through J. =. Foard.
when interviewed on the question OF the
market, said:
With visible supply of Wheat exceeding
7OO00,0O0 bushels in this country and fair
crop prospects abroad, the price has steadily
declined and the exports have dwindled
until the total exports of wheat and corn
from January to May 20 were 5O,79S.lSS
bushels less than the corresponding period
of last year. The exports of wheat ana
corn for The two weeks ending Mayo were
/ 6io.655 bushels less than the same period
last wear. This year the crop spectators
have kept up the price Of wheat and at
times it was worth more at Chicago than at
the seaboard. | think we have got too
much grain in this country on the eve OF
new crop. The price of wheat under the
prospect of an enormous new crop has been
steadily falling for month past and dur
ing the past week the decline has been
rapid. until it has now reached an export
basis. and I believe the market to be in
healthier condition now than ithss been for
year past"

A Peach Circular.

From present appearances the peach crop
of the Delaware and Chesapeake Peninsula
will be very large and the fruit fine, and
the attention of dealers and consumers is
invited to these facts. If proper facilities
of transportation are afforded and proper
arrangements for sale and distribution are
made in time every town within thousand
miles can be supplied with good fruit at
reasonable prices. That this may be done
we invite dealers at all accessible
points TO prepare at once tor handling the
crop. Cars can be sent to any point on the
railroads. Buyers can order by letter or
can come in person and inspect and select
before buying. All sales are made for spot
cash, but fruit may be consigned for sale on
commission to responsible parties.
