NOW ABLE To LAY
FINGER ON ERROR.

Talks with leaders In finance and gen
era Industry show a general belief that
an error was made just after the war in
stressing the statement that the world
was dependent upon this country for
goods and that owing to this demand we
were to have a tremendous foreign trade.
The opinions seems to prevail that the
East WAS fooled more by this foreign
trade possibility than the West Now the
men of the Middle West go to the other
extreme and declare that outside of coal,
food stuffs and a few other products,
this country cannot expect much foreign

guine OF g revival In their industry. Why
this Is so Is not clear 1t is one branch
that can come tack regardless Of foreign
trade. 1t is the one major business hurt
most by the war having been classed as
unessential for some reason hard tc I'M
dtvstand. The injury due to that ruling
was great. The decline in lumber pro-
duction from 1907, when the total was
forty-six billion feet board measure
ment, to 1920. when production was
thirty-two billion feet, would seem to IN
dictate a tremendous shortage presaging
great activity impossible of long post
ponement, yet lumber men talk pessimis-
ticauy. Chicago is the great lumber
market of America. Here lumber has
been financed for decades. Here 1t is con-
trolled today. Undoubtedly high railroad
rates operate against lumber but, while
they admit that lower rates will help
somewhat, lumber men still maintain
somber view as to the future. Possibly
they are right. Perhaps they are wrong
There is demand insistent and persistent
for lumber and 1t would seem certain to
broaden with improvement generally.
High rents must force home building.
Much lumber goes into such construction.
The> railroads are in urgent need of
lumber. Neither the homo builder nor
the railroads can stay out of the market
long. What's more. with improvement In
general business, there must come demand
for lumber for boxes. which makes a big
item in lumber consumption.
Wholesale and retail merchandisers and
particularly the department stores report
a good business. There is no doubt they
have cut prices radically. Shoes, hats
suits and general furnishings are down
to a level that commands attention. The
department stores are crowded The
volume of sales is fully up to that Of last
year, but the money volume is much
lower.

CHICAGO VIEW
CONFUSES, BUT
BASIS is SOUND
Continued From Page one.)

(COnC1nue0 FROM rage Onc.t
tainable) unemployment today is lower
in this territory than at any time since
the first of the year. Chicago probably
is the greatest Labor market of the
world. Its good report of today may be
ascribed to the flow of workers to the
farms for the harvesting of the crops
Owing to the general depression 1t is
said this movement was greater thar
usual. When the crops are all gathered
there may be a different story to tell,
but for the present the fact remains that
while there is idelness there is less, very
much less than seven months ago, or
two months ago. From the highest to-
appears to be a reduction Of nearly %
per cent.
ALSO FAVORABLE
FINANCIAL SHOWING.
With the improvement In the employ
ment situation there is a favorable show
ing financially. The latest combined
statement Of the national and State banks
Indicates a slight decrease in loans and
discounts, a slight increase In CONNER
cial deposits, an enlargement Of cash re-
sources and an increase IN savings de-
posits. The savings deposits. which are
Ia excess Of $500, 00o. 00O. are not far from
the highest record.
Here Is something bearing upon the
building situation nationally that is so
contrary to general belief that 1t might
be questioned but for the source from
which the information was received.

SEE SHORTAGE In
TEACHING STAFFS

A serious shortage in trained
teachers for New Castle county
schools Is indicated by the examina-
tions for teachers. held in School
No. /, French street near Sixth, on
the past two Saturdays.
In addition TO the II persons
who took the first part OF the exam
nations held April 80 there were
four more added to the list on Sat
urday. bringing tho total number up
to 21. superintendent Wilbur II.
Jump. Of New Castle county schools,
SAYS that this number IS not one
half OF the total number Of teachers
that will be required in the schools
OF this county during the next school
year.
Those who successfully pass the
examinations ending last Saturday,
will receive a course of instruction
at the summer school connected with
the Women's College at Newark, be-
ginning on or about June %, and
ending August 8, at which time a
final examination will be given the
aspirants to determine those who
will be permitted to teach.
Added to the fact that a large per-
centage Of the teachers in the county
schools hold only provisional certih-
Gates. the recent report Of the state
Board Of Education shows that the
lack OF proper inducements is low
ering the teaching standard as well

Crop
ACREAGE LARGE,
BUT CROP SHORT

CRlsFlELD. Md. May 2-The
first strawberries shipped to North
ern markets from Somerset were
made this week. and commanded
high prices. The berries were ship
ped from Marion. the largest straw
berry center in the world. and IL is
said the first crate sold for 1920.
which is equivalent to so cents a
quart Thrty-four crates left Mari
ON yesterday and sold for prices
ranging between 80 and Sl3, which
compares favorably with last years 8
opening market. II is said the
highest price paid for a crate of
berries in 1920 was SIG. and that
the average the season through was
IS. Because OF the shortage in the
berry crop it is thought there is a
possibility of last years record prices
being maintained this season.
The acreage under cultivation is
exceptionally large. four or five times
greater. it is said. than that Of 1920.
The growers say. however. the crop
has been damaged so per cent. by
recent frosts in this section. and they
do not look for a large yield. Some
of the growers escaped with small
losses because their berries we're To-
Gated under the edge of woods and
thickots. which afforded a protec-
tion TO the tender blossoms but a
majority lost heavily from the cold
weather Until the frost hit the
crops about three weeks ago the
growers were very optimistic and
predicted a record yield this year.

and a few other varieties Of berries
suffered greatly because OF the ad-
vanced growth when the frost came.
but it is said the "Horsey Favorite. %
which is a local variety, withstood
the climatic changes better than
many OF the other berries and that
these have not been damaged ma
terially.
1t is said that i'm 1920 90 cars OF
Strawberries were shipped from Mar
I Jon I'm "a single day. The refrigera-
tor cars in which the berries are
shipped each have a capacity OF 24O
