The coffee market opened irregularIy

the course was quite steadily upward on
a scare of shorts to cover and persistent
bull support from the clique. The for

yet the whole attention of the trade was
devoted to wearing the bull contingent
and as this element took a most agrees

throughout the session. All differences

New York, July 2i.-The cotton mar
ket opened dull and easy with prices 3
to points lower and while there were
brief spells of reaction from time to
time later. the general direction of the
market was downward under liquidation
and bear pressure, based on fine crop
and weather reports The commission
houses came into possession Of few sup
porting orders and near month longs
were slow to give substantial support to
either July, August or September. The
weather map and special precipitation
bulletins from Washington conveyed the
impression that the belt since Saturday
has been pretty thoroughly covered with
showers to heavy rains while the fore
cast pointed to showers ano thunder
storms in nearly every cotton state to-
night and tomorrow. The English mar
ket news was a disappointment.
Speculation was sluggish throughout
the session In the local ring, and gave
no signs OF broadening in the immediate
future. The trade was disposed to an
ticipate a bearlsh crop statement from
Washington tomorrow owing to the well
nigh perfect weather conditions Of the
past ten days. The market closed steady
and net to points lower. Total sales
were estimated at 10000 bales: Europe
and the South were light sellers here.

In 1928, the Rev. John p. Robinson

ways, a remarkable man. While a

artist. His engravings were excellent.

The New Castle Levy Court has
passed a resolution ordering all county
constables to make monthly settle
ments of the fines and forfeitures they
collect and turn the money into the
county treasury, There is question
whether the money belongs to the
county or the State, and the constables
have been settling with the State
Treasurer in the past. The Levy
Court, acting on the opinion of its at
torney, now demands the money, and
unless the constables make a settle
ment they will be removed, as they
are appointed by the Levy Court
The Court will protect the constables
from any liability should it be decided
that the State and not the county
should get the money.

KENTS TRUSTEES OF THE POOR,
Make Their Report 10 the Levy Court and
Want More Money for the Present Year.

According to statements made by
President George M. Stevenson, of
Smyrna, and other trustees of the poor
for Kent county, who appeared before
the Levy court to report upon their
years stewardship as trustees, seventy
eight inmates have been cared for and
treated on the almshouse farm for an
appropriation of only $4,000 from the
Levy Court for the year. When the
court cut down this appropriation from
1000 to So, 900, some of the tru stees
talked of resigning their posts as they
did not see how both ends could be
met at this institution on 1000 year.
They had good report to make, how
ever, last Wednesday. But the fact
that they succeeded last year did not
