HISTORIC BISHOPSTEAD.
Memorandum Gives Interesting Facts
About Old Candy Homestead.

The last issue of Trinity Parish An
nails" has an interesting item about Bishop
stead, referring to memorandum which
relates:
This house was built by Oliver Candy,
our -great-grandfather, in l74l-2.
He also built the first flour mill In the
borough of Wilmington, about the same
time, at the foot of Orange street. After
Oliver Canby's death, our grandfather,
James Candy, married Elizabeth Roberts.
They went to this house, and our father,
Edmund Candy, and all his brothers and
sisters, were born there.
'In 1S4l it was sold to Bishop Lee,
who with his family occupied 1T until ms
death. In 1887 n generous layman OF the
diocese purchased the house for bishop
Coleman, who presented it to the diocese
to he used theaceforth rs the Episcopal
residence of the Diocese of Delaware.
This note is inscribed on the back OF an
old picture now hanging in Bishopstead,
and signed by Elizabeth Candy Bradford
and Elizabeth Candy Cause.
At the last diocesan convention the
suggestion that Bishopstead be abandoned
as the home of the head of the diocese OF
Delaware received no support and a com
mittee on improvement WAS appointed
and plans made for its restoration. II
was found that S27 900 would be required
to do the necessary work under the plans
agreed on. OF this amount SlS,4S4 %
has been subscribed.

STRONG WHEAT PRICES
FEATURE WEEKS MARKET

CHICAGO, May 21-Big upturns In
the value of wheat have taken place
this week in connection with reports
of a precarious outlook for the win
tire crop. Compared with a week
ago. wheat prices this morning were
8 to 1914 higher. whereas corn was
down IN to 2M and oats off y to ! ".
In provisions, the net changes varied
from q decline to 20 advance.
Strength in the wheat market was
based largely on advices that the
the southwest would depend to a large
degree on favorable weather during
the next week or two. 1t was also ad
mitted by the majority of traders that
the winter crop as whole had been
damaged to a material extent by un-
seasonable low temperatures at criti-
cal times and by recent lack of suf-
ficient rain. Meagerness of the vis-
ible supply total .S,S& a. the stock on
hand in Chicago, together with pro-
spcCtive speedy enactment of the
emergency tariff bill. gave additional
force to the aSyard swing of the
market, especially as seaboard inter-
ests appeared to be conspicuous In the
railroad employees had only tenn
porary bearish influence. Passage OF
an anti-pit bill through one branch
of the Illinois legislature failed like
wise to count as depressing factor
except very briefly.
Corn and oats declined as result OF
enlarged rural offerings of corn,
planting of corn being nearly COM
pleted.
Increased supplies Of lard here made
provisions for the most part lower.

General trade conditions, as re-

STANDARD OIL CLASSED
BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY

NEW YORK. May 21.-The Standard
Oil Company OF New Jersey is cIassed
as a billion-dollar corporation with
the publication of its annual report
for 1920 showing total assets of
$1.1o2. 312.595. a new high record in
the history of the company Net
earnings after all deductions, inciud-
ing reserves Of $2s.901.4SS for federal
taxes. aggregated S164.461.409, also a
record, which compares with a net
income of ss4,s20.s31 in 1919.
Surplus income available for the
common stock after payment of pre-
ferred dividends is equal to approxi-
mateiy $40 q share in the new capi-
tai stock of $25 par value. or at the
rate OF $3.50 a share on the old par
value of 500.
The report states that in recent
months the increase in the amount
Of capital required for the conduct
of business has been more rapid than
the increase in the volume of busi-
ness. This. it says. is largely due to
the higher costs OF labor and mate
rails The report adds, that as con-
ditions existing in the petroleum in
dNstry throughout 1920 were abb
normal. the results of the operations
of the company furnish neither an
accurate basis Of comparison nor a
dependable index of the future.

CONSUMERS STAND WEAKENS;
RETAILERS NOW STOCKING UP
Reports Indicate Merchants Are Taking
Losses on High-Price Goods and Selling
affair Margin on Replacement Values

Considerable disappointment exists
in many sections Of the country over
the continued inactivity in the build
ing trades. This is due to many rea-
sons. but with each week that passes
the deficiency in normal building
operations is storing up trouble for
the future. The shortage is now acute
in many cities, but building strikes
continue. and contractors claim that
the prices OF building materials con-
tinue out of reach.
The railroads are denying that high
freight rates are retarding building
and home construction, and figures
have been produced to show that the
recent increase in freight rates would
add less than 800 to the cost Of the
average modest dwelling. In Detroit
the board of commerce of that city
is organizing to push home construc-
tion and will arrange to finance large
operations.
Some Spotty Conditions.
From Chicago and St. Louis come
reports of continued "Spotty" condl-
tions and contrasting signs Of i'm
in one field of commerce is relieved
by brightness in another. Detroit re-
ports are extremely optimistic.
Pittsburgh is Witnessing series of
wage reductions in the steel business,
due to the continued poor market for
slow but steady gain in employment
in production and in sales. The Pa
cific coast is suffering somewhat from
the shipping strike, but it is believed
the trouble soon will be adjusted.
Trade prospects in the orient are said
to be bright, and wheat in the north
west is on the upgrade, with good
crop prospects. ST. Paul reports the
great granary section is looking for
ward to bumper crops.
Bank Situation Improves.
All sections of the country agree
in reporting a marked improvement
in the banking situation. with liqui-
dation of loans making remarkable
headway Farmers are not borrow
ing as freely as in former years
They are, therefore. making a
cheaper crop than usual. and, as At
lanta reports. there is no more 10y
riding to speak of, but plenty Of hard
work.
Taken all along the line there are
encouraging Indications of a return
to normalcy. The difficulty with the
disgruntled is that they have forgot
ten what normally was.
The banking situation is sound and
all danger of credit pinch" is past
Chicago reports that "even the bank
ers are cheerful" and that is saying
a great deal for bankers
