FAIRIES, of Smyrna, spent Sunday with
Miss Elizabeth M. Temple.
Mr.. J. Clarence Williams and family
have taken for the summer the house on
High street, lately occupied by Mr.. Har-
rison Vandegrift.
The interest in the annual reunion of
Old Drawyer's church appears to increase
as the years roll by, denominationalism
has largely disappeared and it has be-
come dear to every member of the neigh
borhood. A gentleman in looking over
the intelligent congregation assembled,
remarked that from tradition the weekly
gatherings of one hundred years ago
were probably almost equal to these pleas
ant annual meetings-as many then
came in boats from Delaware City, Port
Penn and other places adjacent to the
water. In the morning an excellent SER
mon was delivered by the Rev. DR.. Lou
derbaugh. The memorial services in the
afternoon for Lewis C. Vandegrift was
very interesting as well as entirely fitting.
1t was largely through his personal efforts
that the cemetery has been so beautiied
and transformed. The addresses of Chief
Justice Lore, Henry c. Conrad, Esq, and
John C. Higgins, in eulogy of Mr.. Van
degrift, were full of pathos and touched
many sympathetic hearts amongst their
hearers, he having been formerly of this
neighborhood where he was related to
many and endeared to all.

BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
Speculation Less Active But Trade
fer Spring Improves.

fer Spring Improves.
NEW YORK, Jan. l9.-Bradstreets to-
day SAYS:
Speculation has Jagged. but trade on
spring account has on the whole improv-
ed this week. Stocks are lower in price,
as are the great speculative staples
wheat, corn, and cotton, and transactions
are likewise smaller but there is more
doing in spring business by Eastern job
bers. Southern and Southwestern trade
is opening up satisfactorily. and there are
better reports received even from tae
Northwest, as to the outlook for spring
business
AS to retail distribution conditions
are hardly so favorable. The third week
OF January ends with weather conditions
unfavorable to retail demand for wool
ems, rubbers, and footwear, and the de-
nland for household sizes of coal has
quoted somewhat On the other hand the
open season has helped the distribution
OF hardware, paints, and glass. and an
advance ofBearly one third is reported in
window glass. Lumber appears TO have
been active at the West and wholesalers
have done more al the East, but the ex-
port trade lags in this line as IN others.
Despite the restriction in speculation.
bank cleaTings show only d small decline
from last week. and are far in advance
Of the similar period in all previous
years. Recent reductions in railroad
freights are expected to help distribution
when they go into effect in February, but
there is no apparent diminution in the
returns Of the various roads, which after
extraordinarily favorable results in 1900
stin continue excellent, hence one of The
unquesuOnably strong points if not the
strongest, feature of the entire trade sit
uatioE
Cotton has weakened on increased
stocks at the South and reports that
Southern yarn and Fall River print cloth
manufacturers are considering shut
downs and in spite of reiterations of low
crop estimates. which the present move
ment certainly does not confirm.
Bank clearings for the week aggregate
the sum of S2,615. Sc, SIS. a decrease of
1 per cent from last week but a gain Of
81 per cent over this week a year ago,
when speculation was very inactive.
