JARDINE's NEW STEAMBOAT
New Atlantic CitY-New York Steamer

New Atlantic CitY-New York Steamer
to be Put in Service This Week
A. E. Jardine, formerly manager
of the Smyrna Transportation &
Mfg. Co., now President and Cen
eral Manager of the Atlantic City
Transportation Company, is about to
have his dream realized. The hand
some new steamer "Atlantic City"
especially built for passenger and
freight service beween New York
and Atlantic City had dock trial
in Staten Island last week. its en-
gines running seven hours at a
stretch, without any necessity for
stopping or repairs. The trial trip,
without passengers, was taken yes
terday (Tuesday), the steamer leav-
ing New York in the morning. The
"Atlantic City" is finely appointed
with staterooms and accommodations
for both passengers and freight. AT
present the only difficulty is the
depth at tho Inlet, but the channel
there is better than it has been for
years, as was shown the other day
when Colonel T. Coleman DUPONT 5
yacht Tech came in without diff
Guilty on the half tide, although
drawing nine feet. Relief from
present conditions at the channel
entrance is near, for the government
appropriation for the improvement
of Absecon Inlet has passed both
houses of congress and is now up to
the president. The rivers and har-
bors bill carries 1920, 900 for this
work, an ample amount to provide
for the launching of the project.
The sum of $3.50. 900 is to be avail
able for continuous dredging work
in the channel this year.

The course of true love did not

John E. Wesley both of Centreville,
Md, who went to Philadelphia last
Sunday and were not able to be mar
ried until late Monday afternoon.
They had difficulty in finding a mag
istrate to tie the knot. Wesley is
80 years and Mrs Walls, now Mrs
Wesley, says that she is 10 years
older. She is a widow, with a
daughter in the school for nurses at
Johns Hopkins University. Wesley
is a widower. They wanted to be
married quietly, particularly so that
the daughter might not know about
it until it was all over, so they
went to Philadelphia Baltimore

NEW YORK, Sept 27-Easier cables
and an absence of expected frost over the
eastern belt caused the cotton market to
open barely steady with a decline of from

was some buying which steadied the list.
This was accredited to commission houses
which had orders to. buy when prices got
under IL cents.
About $4,000 notices were issued on Oc-

trend and prices rallied few points from

overnight were very favorable, with indi-
cations for increasing cloudiness in the

the long interest much larger than ex-
pected
Fully 10000 bales have been thrown
on the market today and belief is that
scattered longs have liquidated and the
ring and country is on the short side.
Continuous selling by the ring crowd
with a certain broker who represents a
spot interest was credited with the pur-
chase of fully 10000 bales Also New
Orleans was said to be free seller, and
prices during the afternoon session ag-
gregated to II points below the open
ing, or 10 to IS points decline from the
previous close.
1t is believed that now, since October Is
out of the way, there will be a short
covering movement and prices are antici-
pated to have a reaction.
With unfavorable weather or crop re-
ports there would undoubtedly be a pre-
ciiptant and substantial advance. The

Corn was off sharply, prices ranging
