wild Advance in Cotton.

Cotton furnished Wall Street yesterday
with its daily sensation. The half hour
following the publication of the Govern
ment's crop report, showing the lowest
condition percentage OF record for this
date, brought one of the widest scenes
that the Beaver street exchange had
seen. In that half hour quotations ad-
vanced approximately 200 points. or $40
bale, and brokers with contracts to
sell literally were mobbed by the fren-
zied buyers. The Government fixes the
condition OF cotton on July rs at ST.
per cent. against 70 per cent. last month
and the ten year average of 76.1 per
cent The lowest private estimate had
been 6S. This percentage indicates
crop of about 100000 bales. Cotton
shorts. with which the market was fairly
honeycombed. seldom have received such

BELGIAN Bills.

The Government OF Belgium, accord
ing to information obtained yesterday
in banking circles, will follow the lead
OF France and put out It's bills in the
New York market. These bills, accord
ing to authoritative Information, are on
the high seas and expected to arrive
here in time to be offered in about two
weeks. The Guaranty Trust Company
probably will handle the offering. De-
tails have not been completed. but It is
understood that the offering will be pro-
portionate to that OF France. which will
mean that II will amount to between
s30,OO0.0Oo and $50.0o0.000. The bills
will be offered weekly.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Holiday Market.

Facing n two day holiday and with
money back again to normal. the market
displayed an upward trend yesterday.
but opinion in most commission houses
was that short covering and other settle
ments were furnishing most OF the
strength and that little new buying had
been attracted to the market Sales ran
slightly less than a million shares, and
there was none OF the last and furious
helter-skelter buying and selling which
has amounted almost to disorder and
characterized trading of the last two or
three days. AS one house put 1t, THE
keen edge of the knife has been some
what dulled. Speculation Is quite little
more conservative than was the case be-
fore the stipulations of banking authori-
ties, often repeated. as to credit needs
of the business world began to be recog-
uized as true by that part OF the wall
Street community that Is more interested
in prices than In values"

Few Important Changes.

Several close students Of the stock
market expressed yesterday the opinion
that despite wide nurries Of the week.
the sudden drop and recoveries and the
gyrations in the money rate, there had
been little real change In the market so
far as the lineup between the two OPP
posing interests has been concerned.
There has been no real liquidation as
yet" said one of them. 'It would take
at least ten point drop to bring out i'm
portant blocks Of stock. On the other
hand the shorts have literally cleaned
up this week. but there are no indications
that the short interest has been dimin-
ished to any great extent The demand
for stocks in the loan crowd demon
strates that To my mind about the only
thing this market has done is to
straighten out its technical position,
shake out weakly held accounts, which 1t
is Just as well Off without, and prepare
for week end news Developments"

"Modern MiIIer's" Outlook,

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Modern Muller
says that "a combined winter and
spring wheat crop OF 975. 900 bushels
is now the outlook Deterioration in the
spring wheat belt has been heavy and in
some sections the losses may be called
sensational Grasshoppers. blight. scab
and black rust have caused the falling
of in prospects. Harvesting of wheat Is
general in the Northwestern Staten and
the yield may possibly cause further
reduction from the 1900. 900 estimated
when threshing returns are In. Thresh-
Ing returns from the winter wheat belt
continue disappointing In yield"

Tho borrowing demand for stocks in
the loan market was yesterday larger at

Wilmington's New Industries

Adolphus Segal, who has been held
up in launching new projects, was in
Wilmington last week from his home
in Philadelphia, to take final title to
81 acres of land ON the south side OF
Christiana river, opposite Pussy d
Jones Company plant. The sugar re-
fnery which he plans to erect on the
site will involve an investment of sew
eral million dollars. Mr.. Segal, who
is looked upon as n of the foremost
figures in the sugar field, is said to
control patents that will revolutionize
the methods used In refining sugar,
and the plant here will be the first to
be equipped to utilize those patents.

manufacturers, evidently think we'll OF
Wilmington as a place to do business
They have bought the plant of the late

Delaware Prohibition Law

The passage of the Statewide Pro-
hibition Bill in both houses of the Del
aware Legislature, the law to become
effective on Jan. 16, 1920, is a source
of rejoicing among the dry forces of
this State. Z - Ee = rs-raea 4
"The prohibition bill will back it UP
the national government in enforcing
nationwide prohibition" said George
w. Crabbe, state superintendent of the
a~nti-saloon league of Delaware, to a
representative of the Christian Science
Monitor. at is a good bill, full of teeth,
as good a law enforcement measure
as any state in the Union has ever had
up to this time.
Replying to the query as to whether
he thought the exemption of proprie-
tary medicines and similar compounds
might lead to unfortunate results, MI.
Crabbe said he had no fear of the
abuse of this clause.
"The bill allows the manufacture
and sale of %flavoring extracts, patent
and proprietary medicines and toilet
articles, but prohibites the sale of beer,
whiskey and wines, even for medical
purposes" he explained. "Pure grain
alcohol alone will be obtainable for use
in compounding medicines, etc.
"The bill is not so strong as the n
we proposed, because several details
were eliminated, such as prohibition of
the possession of Intoxicating liquors,
and the seizure, without warrant, of
the same. But these are minor features
and their absence weakens the act very
little. as the law now stands, it is not
unlawful for a person to keep intoX-
ieating liquor in his possession, but he
cannot make it at home Oh buy or sell
it."
The word liquors or Intoxicating
liquors as used in the act is defined "to
include all distilled malt, sp%irituous
and vinous, fermented Of alcoholic liq-
uids, and all alcoholic liquids that con-
tain one half Of one per centum of
alcohol by volume, and compounds,
whether proprietary, patented or not,
which are potable or capable of being
used as beverages"

OVER THE RIVER
Delaware win Win The Capitol Fla,

Delaware will win the American
flag which f1oated over the Capitol
dome at Washington on many historic
occasions during the war. OF that there
can be no doubt. The flag will be "a
warded to the State attaining the
largest oversubscription to the Victory
Liberty Loan, and as Delaware has-&
ways gone over the top with large
oversubscriptions in previous loans and
other movements for the welfare of
the Nation, it is to be taken for grant
ed that she will win out in this cam
paign.
The flag offered was flown during
the inaugural ceremonies in 1917 when
President Wilson delivered his war
address to Congress, April 2 1917;
during passage of the German war
resolution, April q, 5 and 6, 1917;
during the visits of various foreign
missions to the Capitol, and finally,
on the day that the armistice was
signed.

British Attitude Toward America

'"There is only one word to describe
what America has done; and that word
miracle" was the statement of Major
General Bedford, of the British Army,
quoted to Rev. Frederick H. Kent, who
addressed the students of the Whining
ton high school in the auditorium. Mr..
Kent's subject was "The New British
Altitude toward America" and he held
the interest of the pupils so well that
they would not let him stop when time
for Diminishing school arrived.
He cited many causes for this new
feeling toward America of the part of
the British. He told of the gratitude
they have for us based upon our assist
ance in feeding them, on our military
achievements and of their confidence in
us as the leader in peace movements.
He brought out the chief points of
difference between the two people and
showed that it has been only natural
that bad feeling should exist between
the two nations in the various camps
because of the lack of understanding
of these differences.
He told many amusing stories,
among them an account of the ball
game in London, July 4th, which
caused much laughter. He said that
we can hardly doubt the attitude of
the British people when their govern
ment officially celebrated the day
when it lost it's American colonies.
Mr.. Kent quoted Winston Church
hill with saying "Britian desires no
better reward for her suffering in this
war than complete reconciliation with
America" He further illustrated
this growing feeling in England by
the work of the Hospitality League.
In two months last summer this
British organization gave 100000
American soldiers who were or fur
loughs on the British Island, vaca-
lions in British homes. The soldier
had only to state the section of the
Island where he wanted to go and he
was furnished with transportation and
given the address of a British family
at whose home he was welcome to stay
without charge for the length of his
furlough.
Those who spread anti-British prop
uganda are unwittingly friends of the
Germans and increase the possibility
of Germany gaining her old place in
the world thru ill feeling that might
arise between the two English speak
ing people he said.
Mr.. Kent was attached to the head
quarters staff of the American YMCA
in London, and during the spring and
summer of 1918 travelled thru England
visiting American Camps and meeting
representative Englishmen.

At Sea On Tomatoes

Farmers and Gamers in the lower
part of New Castle County have not
reached an agreement on prices yet.
1t is feared that the farmers will not
plant tomatoes this year, as they
claim they cannot rofitably raise them
for less than $25 per ton.
On the other hand the packers claim
they cannot pack the tomatoes at any
profit if they have to pay $25 a ton
for the tomatoes. [.
The disagreement between the can
ners and growers unless amicably set
tied soon means that lots of people will
be out of work during the season, as
the canning industry has provided en-
ployment for many people.
The Gamers are offered only $1.4O
per, doz. and this they claim is the
cause of them not being able to pay
$25 a ton for the tomatoes.

Taking Seriously The Matter
OF Self Importance

The woman who assumes that
she has been made" according to
a certain pattern and has nothing
to do but up with herself as she
is, is hardly likely to make any

But if she takes the matter of self
Improvement seriously, there is no
reason for her to be discouraged
about herself, even though she dis
plays very serious weaknesses.

A Bloodless Revolution
Accomplished By Women

Suffragists are pointing out that
women in securing the suffrage
have achieved a great moral re-
form without riot or bloodshed. Is
it nothing, they ask, that in
world where every other effort for
human freedom has been at the eX-
pense of thousands of lives and
billions of dollars, women have
won their liberty by moral effort
alone? Is not such an element OF
value to the electorate?
THE triumph Of woman suffrage
is one of the most significant So
cial phenomena of the present
generation" declared Rev. Reynold
E. Blight of the Church of the
People in Los Angeles, California,
at a recent service in memory Of
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. at is lit
tie less than a revolution and none
the less revolutionary because it
came so quietly. The emancipa-
ton of woman is frought with the
most far-reaching influence and
will produce benefits beyond pres
emit calculation. The woman suf-
frage propaganda for decades was
treated with scorn and ridicule, its
proponents were ostracised and its
speakers were mobbed. The Wo'
men advocates were abused anc
every scurrilous epithet applied tC
them. We shall never know the
bitter agony Of soul suffered by
these women of gentle breeding
and sensitive refinement, Womer
like Susan B. Anthony, France!
Willard and Anna Shaw, bu
bravely hiding tn e quiVerin&
wounds, they fought on courage
ously for the cause Of justice
trusting in God and in the hear
and reason Of the American PEG
pie. There faith has been vindi
Gated, the cause they so nobl.
espoused is marching forward t.
early victory"

How Often Shall The
Chickens Be Fed?

Some poultrymen feed their
focks twice a day, while others
feed them three times a day. The
best plan is to feed fowls in con-
fnement three times a day and
those having free range in sum-
mer twice a day. When there is
very long interval between feeds
it is difficult to keep fowls busy
which are kept in confinement.
Idle fowls often contract bad hab-
it's, such as feather pulling and
egg eating, besides going out Of
condition from lack of exercise.
In case it is not convenient to
feed three times day, the mois-
tened mash may be fed in the
morning, and at the same time the
; noon feed of grain may be scatter
ed in the litter, which will keep
the fowls busy a great part of the
day.
For those who can NOT conven-
iently feed their fowls early in the
morning a good plan is to scatter
grain plentifully in the litter after
the birds have gone to roost. This
gran will furnish feed for the
early morning.
Some poultry keepers can look
after their fowls only once a day.
If this is in the morning, moisten-
ed mash may be fed, followed by
throwing grain in the litter to
furnish feed for the remainder of
the day. If it is in the evening,
before dark, moistened mash may
be given, and either after the fowls
go to roost or in the morning, be,
fore daylight, grain may be scat,
tered in the litter for eating dur
ing the day.
