Although he has only been in Will

Secretary E. o. Sellers, Of the Young

ready won the confidence of the busi-
ness men Of Wilmington and of every
one connected with the association. 1t
is principally through his ability to
gain and hold tha confidence of busi-
ness men. and the fact that he is an ex-
ceptionally hard worker, that has
made Mr.. Sellers so successful In Y.

local Y. M. c. "a. is rapidly growing
in membership, and is being plaosd on
a good financial footing.

There is probably no city or county
official in Wilmington who is more
popular with the general public than
Recorder of Deeds Delaware Clark,
whose term eXpifes in few weeks. Mr..
Clark is courteous at all times to peo-
pie who have business at the recorders s
Office. and It is principally ON this ac-
count that Mr.. Clark mas become a gem

men. Mr. Clark has also been one OF
the most efficient recorders that ever

Until a few seasons ago the only way
the trees could be climbed was TO get
a long hickory switch bend it around
the tree which Is far too large to span

ends. Then the tiresome ascent began.
The switch is quickly clipped upward
and the climber holds 20 the tree with
his knees. He then draws himself up
as FAR as possible and the operation Is
repeated until he reaches the lower
limbs, when he swings himself into the

New York. Feb. 1.-The situation
this morning was perplexing. The
Liverpool adviceS were remarkably
good from bull standpoint. The mar
ket there was only a shade easier,
which was surprising when we take
the receipts into consideration In
fact. the way all markets present a
strong front excites general surprise.
Big receipts appear to be making not
the slightest impression anywhere
With such bad weather as we have
had during the past week 1t stands to
reason that the marketing of cotton
has been interrupted to some extent
at least. and despite this, the move
ment has been keeping up and the new
week starts to-day with indications
OF 10000 at the ports, as against $4,000
last year. There is no telling how long
this movement will continue: if we
could answer that question, it would
be less difficult to say what the mar
ket is likely to do. Trade reports for
the week are good, and the idea is
gaining ground that no matter how
big the crop, the worlds mills will re-
quire all that is raised, no matter if it
be eleven million or more. 1t is use
less to attempt to analyze the cause
of the markets steadiness. 1t appears
to be useless to attempt to break prices
under existing conditions. Early local
prices were a point or two better, but
there was so little doing that prices
counted for nothing. Still the mere
fact that they failed to yield is in IT.

ing direct from the South on account
of low ocean rates. and Southern mills
are observing a policy of procrastina-
