New York Sugar.

New Yorkk, July 29.-There was no change in the local raw sugar mar ket with centrifugal quoted at 7.28 to refineds. The weekly cable from Cuba reported continued heavy rains, which are very beneficial for the new crop but are interfering with the har- vesting of the present one.
 In refined, there was no change in conditions in general, although with the settlement of the marine strike, the arrivals of raw sugar are expected to increase. Meantime, the demand is active. Prices were un- changed at cents for fine granulated.

French Honor dupont Officials

The French Government a con-
ferred membership in the Legion OF
Honor upon Pierre S. DUPONT, presl-
dent of the dupont Powder Company
The honor came to Mr.. DUPONT FIJI,
dav quite unexpectedly from Edouvard

the French legation at Washington IN
the following telegram:
MI. Pierre Samuel dupont, de Ne
Mours:
Sir: | take pleasure in notify
ing you that the French Govern
ment has conferred upon you
Observation-Disclosures 'dhonneur.
Please accept my heartiest con-
gratulations.

E%DDYSTONE
Plant Will Make Electric Locomotives

Another addition to the big after
the-war program of industrial Phila-
delphia is the contemplated expansion
of the Westinghouse plant at Eddy
stone for the construction of electric
locomotives. This announcement was
made by R. B. Midlon, assistant to the
vice president.
Discussing the company's program
for the new year, Mr.. Midlon said:
eve share the general opinion in
the industrial field that business will
slow down somewhat, owing to the re-
adjustment of the industries from a
war to a peace basis. But by spring
this phase should be over, and then
for the next few years we should have
a period of prosperity.
CAS- far as the Westinghouse works
at Essington is concerned, we have
enough orders on hand to keep us
busy for the next year without con-
sidering new business, which is now
beginning to develop.
1--WE are at present making nothing
here but ship-propulsion machinery,
but our plans contemplate bringing
here all of our turbine and electric
generator construction work that is
now being handled at Pittsburgh.
Before we can accommodate this adj
ditional business, however, we shall
have to build several new buildings,
including an office building, a shop
for making turbine blades and an cleo
trio generator shop.
"Unless we are mistaken in our ex-
pectations, however, this new con-
struction work should be begun this
spring.
Looking a little further ahead, it is
probable that we shall in time erect a
building for the construction of cleo
trio locomotives. The electric rail
road situation is unquestionably very
favorable, and a large amount of cleo
trification will be undertaken in the
next ten years.
eve cooperate with the Baldwin
Locomotive Works in the manufacture
of electric locomotives, and our loca-
ton here, so close to the Baldwin
plant, makes this the proper place to
do our part of the work.
"In other words, we plan to build at
Essington all of our large and i'm
portant apparatus, and as the demand
for this class of apparatus is certain
to increase rapidly from year to year,
we expect to see our plant expand in
the neal future to many times its
present SIZE.

OVER THE RIVER
DuPONTS SAVED DEMOCRACY
Penns Grove Men Did Much To Help

Penns Grove Men Did Much To Help
A man saving a single life is looked
upon as a hero. He is acclaimed by
the newspapers, awarded a Carnegie
Medal and otherwise honored.
But what honors can be high enough
to bestow upon the saviour of a great
nation comprising millions of souls?
General Hedlam, of the British
Army, on being introduced to an Off
cial of the DUPONT Powder Company,
exclaimed, "The DUPONT Company is
entitled to the credit Of saving the
British Empire"
England, unlike Germany, was not
prepared to supply the powder neces-
sary to enable her armies to beat Oft
the prodigious Hun attacks.
The principal ingredients in smoke
less powder are nitric and sulphuric
acid and cotton. England grows no
cotton at all, and her acid plants were
entirely inadequate to meet the de-
mands, but America could produce all
the needed raw materials.
The dupont Company built the pow
der plants, arranged for the supplies
of ingredients and made the powder
in the enormous quantities required 10
save Great Britain from the vandals.
In so doing the United States was
probably saved as well :,
At one time during the war England
decided to build an immense powder
plant of her own The DUPONT 20.
sent experts over, and under thelf
supervision, the mill was built. linen
shipping became scarce, and 1t was
figured out that it required seven snip
loads of raw materials to n
shipload of smokeless powder. Inc
result was that the big plant was not
operated, and with the exception OF
the output of two comparatively small
plants in the q. S. the DUPONT Com
pany made nearly all the powder
used in the great European wal.
And if this were not enough 10
make the dupont Company anathema
in the eyes of Germany, it is destined
to be as great a thorn in her side IN
a commercial way hereafter as 1t was
in a military way during the war. :,
Germany's greatest commerciallzed
industry was dye manufacture. In
that. she was virtually supreme. NOW
she will find her supremacy challenged
nv the same American corporatlon
that blocked her designs Tor Worlo
military supremacy, for the dupont
Company has set out to utilize heI
vast expert chemical organlzatlon ana
MANS in the manufacture of anallne
DIVES. Already her dye works are
t1rning out and delivering to the tex
file and other trades many OF the
colors and shades that German dye
works claimed could not be matched.
It is easier to lose a market thar to
regain one. Germany has that yet 10
learn. The dupont Company probably
calculates to have easy control OF the
dye markets for years to come, rea-
soning that Germa any 70 resHme trade
relations with a country that has used
it's commercial profits for the up
building of a military machine with
which to anrnihilate civilization. Isn't
the reasoning logical?

Value Of Milk in Homes

A very attractive and helpful exhibit
showing sthe food value of milk and
other dairy products has been sent to
over one hundred and twenty-five cities
and towns by the Holstein-Friesisn AS
sociation of America, through its Ex-
tension Service. This display has been
assembled at Rees' Feed Store
through the local cooperation Of the
Delaware Holstein-F -Friesian Association
It can be seen during all of next week.
Its purposes are to acquaint everyone
with the great economic and high food
value of dairy products, in comparison
with other foods. Every one should
see this exhibit and surely will profit by
studying it and practicing what it
teaches. Attention is called to Holstein
cows milk. This breed of dairy cattle
furnishes from sixty Fer cent. to as
high as eighty-five per cent. of the
milk used in many of our large cities.

RINCLINC BROS. CIRCUS

The worlds biggest amusement insti-
tuition, Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey Shows Combined, is to exhibit
afternoon and night at Wilmington.
Friday, May 10th.
The consolidation of the "World's
Greatest Shows" and the Greatest
Show on Earth" in one circus of CO.
lossal size, constitutes the amusement
surprise of the country. Nothing to
approach this gigantic, new circus has
ever before toured America. 1t has
been formed by merging the pick and
the cream of all that was biggest and
best in the two famous shows. It
would be folly to attempt to enumerate
it's many wonders. Some idea of the
enormous scale upon which features are
presented may be had when it is stated
that a quarter of million pounds of
elephants take part in a single act. In
other words-six times as many of the
big-earned giants than have ever before
All else to be seen is in proportion. The
arenic stars embrace all the worlds
foremost circus performers. There are
three hours of novelties and | ig sensa-
tional acts. The menagerie is far and
away the most colossal ever travelled.
For instance-a herd of eight giraffes
are exhibited in place of the two or
three shown in the past. The great
tournament which opens the main-tent
program, is the most magnificent thing
in pageantry yet produced in America.
Hundreds upon hundreds of gorgeously
costumed characters and beautiful
horses take part in it. The morning
street parade is the longest and most
brilliant ever given anywhere. 1t is
stupendous, super-circus that battles de-
scription.
