CONSERVE THE SUGAR
Sweetness" is Needed For Gamers
and Housewives For Preserving.


Save the sugar. That is one of the
patriotic duties for Delawareans as
much as refraining from wheat. There
is sugar enough for your coffee and
tea if used judiciOusly, but none to
waste or spare for luXuries. The Food
Administration is endeavOring to pro-
vide enough sugar for the Gamers
and housewives, now that the canning
season is approaching, and the wisest
discretion will have to be used in or
der that there shall be enough.
Some manufacturers using sugar
have already learned that they have
exhausted their share until July 1.
They were instructed months ago to
use but so per cent of their normal
supply, but some paid no heed to the
advice. AS a result they find them
selves without sugar to continue their
bu$ness for the next four weeks.
These manufacturers were profting
while their patriotic competitors were
trying to help Uncle Sam and Obeyine
the food regulations.

CHARLES E. HUBER
TO HELP BAKERS
Will Keep Trade Posted on
Requirements Of FOOd
Regulations.

Charles E. Huber, of Wilmington,
has been appointed chief of the bak-
ing division of the Food AdminiStra-
tiOn for the State of Delaware. Mr..
Huber will devote several days each
week to personal visits among the
bakers of the state and will endeavOr
to keep the baking trade correctly in
formed on the rulings of the Food Ad-
ministratiOn regarding the use OF
wheat -four and its substitutes.
Mr.. Huber has had much experience
as one of Wilmington's leading bakers
and is devOting his time free of charge,
in order that the baking trade of Della
ware may not be accused of lacking
interest in the food conservation pro-
gram.
In the first months of conservation,
the housewives of the country were
often heard to complain: But what
is the use of our trying to save food
in our kitchens when waste on so
much larger scale is everywhere go
ing on, among the men, in public eat
ing places, on trains, in the manufac-
ture of food, etc
This may have been true some
months ago. But it is no longer a fair
complaint. The men of the country,
both in business and in private, are
doing their bit in a patriotic effort to
conserve the worlds food.
Since the increasing need for saw
ing wheat has been made plain by the
U. S. Food Administration many hO-
tells and restaurants all over the
country have voluntarily pledged them
selves to do without wheat until the
new harvest.
And now an effort is to be made to
| increase the coming wheat harvest by
| cleaner threShing. 1t has been eSti-
mated that three bushels of grain in
every 100 threshed can be saved by
| better methods. Where grain has beer

\ STREET BACKS
 LIBERTY BONDS
All Steels Take the Count for Losses of 1 to 3 Points
 During the Session

New York, February 21.-A spirited ad- vance in liberty bonds predicated on the belief that the next issue is to be on a 41a per cent basis was the most note worthy feature of today's session of the stock exchange. Liberty second As, which were most active, made an extreme ad- vance of 1.16 per cent to T26, first 4s rising from 96.56 to 97,50 and the 31as all ways the most stable issue, from 9S to 9S14
 Trading in stocks was of the usual Fnte-holday character. Except for ship pings, tobaccos and few other special ues, selling pressure was resumed in the active list. Rails were most reactionary, although the latest programme of the au- thoritieS at Washington met with gen. eral approval. This was largely nulli- fled however by further government ownership" debates in the Senate. St. Paul common and preferred yielded over points each and other grangers as well as transcontinental and coalers lost an average of 1 point, while New York Central featured the heavy trunk lines
 Practically all the steels and associated equipments registered losses of l to al- most 3 points. United States Steel clos ing at 955s, a net loss of IA points. Cop pers and allied metals forfeited 1 to 2 points with motors and utilities.
 Bonds were irregular, Anglo-FTench 5s making a further gain. Total sales, par values, aggregated $5,950,0O0 of which the liberty group furnished large propor- tion.

New York, February 21.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 "A return to more normal conditions in business has resulted from the recent tempering of the rigors of winter wealth CT, although the recurrence of cold wave in some sections has tended to hinder the process of recovery With the continued absence of further gen. eral and severe storms, however, the derangement of production and distr,- button is steadily lessened and appre- ciably larger shipments of raw materials and merchandise reflect the breaking of the transportation deadlock Efforts to augment outputs of urgently needed supplies are more successful as the per centage of idle machinery diminished through the freer movement of fuel, and the adjustment of some labor con- troversies has improved the industrial outlook and made possible the resump- tion of full operations on certain im- portant government work As for months past, activity in many directions is stimulated by the extensive and ex banding war requirements: but the in- creasing restrictions on regular domestic and foreign business limit the volume of ordinary transactions and bank clear ings at some leading centers do to equal those of this period in 1917, though the general level of commodity prices is now considerably higher

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February I.-Smali March tenders resulted in a rise of 2i to 37 points in the early trading in cotton here today, after which the mar ket felt realizing from recent buyers under which it fell off to about the lcvel of yesterdays close. A good un- dertone was preserved, however, and to- ward the end the demand increased again, with the result that last prices showed net gains of 12 to 2 points, Business was restricted throughout the session by the triple holidays follow ing the close tonight.
 This was first notice day for the in- coming spot month, but total notices called for the delivery of only 200 bales. This. taken in connection with recent threats by March longs that they would demand cotton for their contracts, caused a covering movement among the shorts.
 The demand was increased for long account by the official statement from Washington that the supply of ocean tonnage had reached it's low point and a bullish construction was also placed on the advices from the department oi agriculture to farmers of the south not to increase their cotton acreage this season at the expense of food crops.

FLOUR SHORTAGE
 BULLS GRAIN PIT
Reports Are That Stocks of Flour Have Been Virtu-
 ally Exhausted

Chicago. February 2i.-Grain and pro visions as we'll bumped upward hard to- day against maximum price limits. Knowledge that stocks of flour had been virtually exhausted was a leading bullish factor. Corn closed firm at the same as yesterdays finish to A@asc higher. with March s1.27% and May $l,27sds1.271&- Oats gained 17sQ2c to Pc, and provisions 39c to S1.
 With February delivery of corn all ready quoted at the topmost point per misslble, later options showed from the outset a tendency to climb. The margin still open for profit on purchases, how ever, was so narrow that transactions were without any substantial size.
 Speculative interest centered chiefly in the oats market, which at first showed some weakness owing to the enactment of rule that no contract would be valid at any greater advance than cents for any single day. Rural offerings were small, however, and re- ports that liberal shipments had been made from here to the seaboard gave renewed stimulus to commission house demand. Thereafter the market moved consistently upgrade, stopping only at the maximum set limit.
 Provisions made sharp ascent after temporary declines that were due to ufi- expected large receipts of hogs. The lat ter notable strength of provisions was ascribed to talk of large takings by the government.

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, February 21.--The ab- sence of March tenders in any quantity today put the price of cotton to higher levels in the early trading. Later on. realizing sales from longs who did not want to carry their cotton over the three holidays following the close about wiped out the improvement but without de- stroying the good undertone. It is becom- ing daily more apparent that cotton is in position to make important ad- vances, probably into new high ground for the season. Notices here were is- sued for only 200 bales and in New York for about 3400. On this there was a prompt rise on the opening which was gradually widened to 24 to S7 points But for the holiday feeling the rise un' occasionally would have been muck wider. Features developed today whick are likely to have an important bulisA influence on the market for sometime tt come. The department of agriculture came out with a statement strongly ad vising against any increase in cotton acreage at the expense of food crops while officials nt Washington stated in no uncertain language that the low point in the supply of tonnage was reached oi the first of February and predicted that it would increase from now on. This is extremely important in connec- ton with the exportation of cotton,

Liverpool Reports a Scarci- ty of Contracts as Result
 of Buying and Selling

New York, February 21.-Rather a realizing in the cotton market today, but reactions were followed by steady close with last prices to 15 points net higher After selling up from sO.4oc to SO.7sc, May declined to S0.45c and closed at 3O5Sc.
 The opening was firm at a decline ot F points on March under scattering li- Quidation and the circulation of 8 few notices. Trade interests were buyers of that delivery, while it was reported that the notices were being stopped by south ern shipping interests and after selling at 3o62c on the call, March quickly firmed up with the rest of the list, touching 3105c before the end of the morning, or 90 points net higher.
 Later months opened at an advance of to 2l points and sold A to 29 points net higher on trade buying and cover ing by yesterdays sellers who were in- fluenced by reports of rather large gov ernment orders in the goods market, relatively firm cables, and small num- Der of notices and bulish southern spot advices. As soon as the more urgent demand had been supplied,H however, prices turned easier under profit talk ing for over the three day adjournment and sentiment also seemed to be unset tied by the publication of a notice that all cotton remaining in the stores here recently taken over by the government, must be removed by Saturday. March sold off to So.70o. and July to 2s,s4c. or shade under last nights closing fig ures. but the market rallied in the late trading on Liverpool buying.
 Private cables reported a scarcity of contracts in Liverpool as result of trade buying and calling. The elimina- ton of heatless Mondays in New Eng land and more optimistic advices frnn, Washington regarding ocean tonnage probably helped the early advance.
