ket to seven cents per pound.
Dealers In staples anticipated fur.
ther increase In price and It is re-
ported that retailers are preparing to

The raw crop will not arrive In the
market until the close of the year
and from well-niformed circles came
the statement that the price has been
raised simply In anticipation Of q

Shortly after. the ceremony was con-
cluded, Col. Astor handed out state
ment embodying his ideas on divorce
and remarriage In which he said:
Now that the ceremony is over and
We are happily married, am not in
terested In the difficulty with which
divorce apd remarriage laws are to be
surrounded. Il sympathize heartily
with straight-laced people In most or
their ideas, but believe remarriage
should be possible once, az marriage
Is the happiest condition for the In
dividual and the community"
The wedding ceremony was per
formed In the drawing room Of the
mansion, which had been literally
packed with American beauty roses.
The bride was attired In q pearl grey
