Milk Prices to Raise.

The Lambertville milkmen will
raise their price from eight to ten
cents per quart on July l. A few
years ago it was raised from seven
to eight cents, and they say now
that the two cents raise will not pay
for the increased cost of production
over even year ago.
An interesting feature of the
local milk situation is that every
man who has undertaken to sell
standard milk at less than the price
charged by most dealers, has failed
to keep it up for any very lengthy
time.
In the meantime none of the
dealers selling it at a standard price
have grown rich, even if they have
managed to keep out of the sheriff :
hands.
In Pennsylvania it is expected
that milk will go above seven cents.
wholesale, at Doylestown, in July,
and the New Hope branch of the
Milk Producers association have
deduced some interesting figures as
to cost of production that assures
them that farmers cannot produce
it to sell for five or six cents whole
sale, or eight or nine retail.

Will Not Change Road.

The West AmwelI township COM
mittee has decided against chang
ing the course of the public road
from the new county concrete bridge
across the East branch of the Alex
auken creek, to the foot of the hill
leading to Mount Airy church, on
account of the cost. The bridge
has been completed by the county,
but cannot be used as yet on ac-
count of the lack of approaches,
which the county has suggested that
the township build, Offering to con-
tribute S25 toward the work.
Township Committeeman Charles
A. Slack, Randall P. Mathews and
James Wilson, and Township Clerk
w. j. Lauderdale, together with
their engineer, Theodore G. Kitchin,
made an inspection of the road, and
the minimum cost of changing the
road would be about $3.50, aside
from land damages, which Edward
B. Holcombe, of Mount Airy, esti-
mated at $50 for his property, MAX
ing probably $500 in all, of which
but $25 would come from the
county. 1t was decided to notify
the freeholders that they might pro-
coed upon their own account to
build the approaches, which will
probably be connected with the
present road, making sharp turn
at the northerIy end Of the bridge.

COTTON
New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-An early decline
was followed by a sharp advance In the
cotton market today with near months max
ing new high records for the season. De-
cember contracts sold as high as 27.6oc or
% points above last nights closing figure and
lis points above the low level Of the mcrn-
ing. That delivery closed at 27.37c with
the general list closing firm at net advance
OF 25 to 90 points
The ractionary feeling ef yesterday after
noon was in evidence at the opening First
prices were steady at a decline of 10 10 25
points aud active months sold about 20 to 25
points net lower right after the cal1. There
was further realizing on liquidation and there
also appeared TO be some accumulation OF
\ernight selling orders from the south. These
offerings were very well absorbed on the de-
cline by trade and Liverpool buying however,
and the market soon turned frmer. For 4
time the favorable character of the weather
news and the failure Of private crop advices
TO contain any mention Of frost damage, APP
peared 10 hold buyers In check. As the mar.
ket worked h,/,er, however, the demand be-
Y me more Active. being stimulated by buliish
southern spot advices, the liberal exports for
the day and the firmer tone OF the stock
market Last prices were several points off
from the best under realizing Southern spot
news was somewhat conflicting as to demand,
but practically all advices reported firmness
among holders and after the first half hour
there was comparatively aitte southern
selling.

MARKET REVIEW
CsrRANDBERG. MGREEvY & COY

(STRANDBERG, M'GREENf COs)
The behavior of Tuesdays stock market
coming after u prolonged period OF blue
liquidation had "a very pronounced effect on
rentipent. The irregularity which was notice.
able in fhe mornings trading was interpreted
by many as an irdication that careful invest
ment purchasing OF the bargain hunting
variety was under way. This sort OF buying.
coupl - with plain indications Of both na.ura
and organized support and absorption OF steel
and other important issues in large blocks
proved source OF general better feelings
II the improved sentiment is suthci mt TO
cause cessation in liquidation of Investment
issues, there should be adequate strength to
turn the trend Of the entire market.
Indics tions that western rails VIII Join with
those of the east In concerted request
Wedne sday for more favorable rates has i'm
proved the railway situation from a market
standpoint and better levels should result
both in the low priced and dividend paying
classes.
While We find nothigg in The general situa.
tion to warrant any ATTENDED movement at
this time we feel that the halt in the down.
ward trend is an important feature and that
sound stocks. especially rails, purchsed at
these levels shorld prove worth while.
