Realty Moves Higher.

The stock of the United States Realty
and Improvement Company was one OF
the few exceptions to yesterdays gen.
eral downward trend. In the face of
the gradual but nevertheless important
decline In the general list. Realty moved
into higher ground. getting up as high
as H. a gain OF 15s points on the
day. That stock, according to those
who know what is going on in the COM
pany. is just beginning to reflect the
company's greatly enhanced earning
power as the result OF big advances in
its rentals and large contracts signed
by its construction subsidiary. Long

Lackawanna Shares Hold Up.

The market contained yesterday
movements of a few stocks which were
so different from changes in Issues ap-
pealing to spectators as to indicate
that the former had been the subject of
better buying than had the others dur
ing the recent upturn. Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western. as an example,
recovered all Of its fractional decline Of
Monday. and at one time sold for a
half point more than last weeks maxi
mum quotation. The deduction from
that stocks flrmness, after It's rise Of
7A points last week. is that investors,
and. perhaps. SPECTATORS, accumulated
shares which they intended to hold. The
thought that the dividend may be higher
than the predicted rate Of SIS a share
r the recently increased shares is in
the back of the heads of many followers
of the stock.

Large Class For University

Judging from the number of prospec-

aminations during the two days that
the Entrance Committee sit last week
the new classes at both Delaware Col
lege and the Women's College of the
University Of Delaware next fall, will
be the largest in the history of both in
stitutions.
At Delaware College about 40 took
the examinations and II for the
Women's College. This is understood
to be slightly more than usually take
the examinations at this time of the
year and according to those familiar
with the college enrolment it indicates
that the entering class at Delaware
College will be more than 100 and that
of the Women's College more than so.

Potato Crop is Injured

Delaware now is threatened with the
loss of its potato crop to add to the
mlsfortunes of the farmers. The con.
tinued dry spell is causing the potato
plants to scar and flop over. while the
potatoes in the ground have been stunt
ed by the lack of rain and are rotting.
This condition is general throughout
the State, inquiries of farmers in the
three counties have revealed, and the
growers face heavy loss from the
failure of this crop.
The plants and the potatoes in the
ground are now in such condition that
it is hardly likely heavy rain could
save the greater portion of the crop.
although some of the plants might be
stimulated susficientfy to thrive.
