There was sharp rally in the cotton
market yesterday owing to reports of
better tone in the Southern spot
markets and talk of light ginning
figures. January contracts, which had
sold off to 1S02c during the early trad
ing advanced to 18.70c during the early
afternoon, but the improvement was
not fully maintained. as the market

The failure of trade buying to follow TIE

to recent bnyers, and prices soon turned
easier under a renewal of tired long llqui-

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Reports that Ca
madam interior elevators and railroads
would cooperate in regulating ship
ments helped to rally the wheat mar
ket to-day after prices here had fallen
to tho lowest level since 1915. Clos
ing quotations were unsettled at Is
net decline to 1Sc advance, with De-
cember 1.02 to 1.02A and May 107 to
1.073s. Corn gained h@M to 3s; oats
lost u to u, and provisions finished
unchanged to 10 cents off.
twithstanding the break of ak cents
yesterday in the price Of wheat, spasmodic
more or less to talk current that British
grain concern had failed. Besides, there
was no evidence of any export demand for
United States wheat, and 1t was estimated
that domestic hard winter grades were
to cents above working basis as
compared with Canadian.
Another bearish factor was sowness of

Fifth Advance in Crude
Oil Doubles Old Price

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 1.-The fifth ad-
vance in the price of oils within the
last thirty days was noted at the open-
ing of the market here to-day. Penn
sylvania crude advanced SO cents to 81
a barrel, while Cabell at S2.61, Somer-
set at $2.40 and Somerset light at S2.65
were up 25 cents. Ragland advanced 10
cents on the barrel to $125 Corning
was unchanged at $2.15.
Oil authorities were surprised at the
amount of the advance on Pennsylvania
crude, as it had been expected that the
purchasing agencies would limit the in
crease to 20 cents a barrel. However,
soon after the market opened it became
known that independent refiners al
ready were in the field, not only offer
ing the new price, but in many in
stances premiums amounting to %
cents barrel. Some oil, it was said,
was being sold at that price, but con-
siderable quantities were being held
for further developments.
The following table shows current
prices, prices prior to the first of the
recent advances, the high for 1920 and
the price on January /, 1920:

EASTER SUNDAY AT CHURCHES
Was a Delightful Day in Smyrna and
Services Were Joyous

Easter Sunday, despite predictions
to the contrary, was delightful day
in Smyrna and good congregations
turned out to all the churches where
special musical programs were held.
Flowers, both potted and cut were dis
played in profusion within chancels
and around the pulpits. At st. Peters
P. E. Church, the Rev. Thomas Getz
Hill gave one of his best pulpit efforts.
Special music was rendered by the
choir. In the afternoon the Sunday
School Easter service was held, an
event that is made much of annually.
Each member of the school received
potted flower. At Asbury M. E.
Church, music as usual was feature.
This was directed by w. o. Hoffecker
assisted by Mrs. Marion Coverdale at
the organ and Mrs. Ralph ]. Smith on
the violin. A choir of augmented
voices sang: "There is a Green Hill
Far Away; GAS it Began to Dawn;
"Angels Roll the Stone Away and
"Shout Ye, High Heavens" Pastor
Nichols gave a strong sermon in the
morning on "The Risen Christ in Life
To-day" His evening topic was can
Easter Walk with Jesus" The Pres
byterian Church, Rev. J. L. M. Eckard,

congregation and flowers and Easter

an appropriate sermon by pastor Eek
ard, the choir under the direction OF
Mrs. Mary Johnson Westfall, organist
sang these anthems during the day;
"The Stone is Rolled Away" '"The
Song of Triumph; "Life and Light

MARSHALLTON HAS ROBBERY
Yeggs Blow Open POstOffice Safe and
Get Away With $500

Under cover of early morning dark
ness, and while two persons watched,
powerless to interfere, six cracksmen
broke into the Marshallton post office
early Monday morning, blew and rob-
bed the safe, and calmly walked down
the road, after the job was done, with
loot valued at at least $500. Ac-
cording to officials after an investiga-
ton, it was the work of amateurs. The
yeggs used four heavy charges of ex-
plosive, possibly nitro glycerine, and
literally scattered the safe and its
contents all over the room. The men
used a daring method in their rob
berry, according to the two witnesses.
All six walked up the road together,
and while three of them entered the
postoffice, the remainder stood outside
on guard. In the waning darkness
the onlookers could see that the men
were white and they were armed heav-
lily for they could see the flashes OF
the moons rays on the steel as the
men moved around. After they had
completed their job, witnesses say,
the three leaped out the broken win
dow. and Joined their comrades. Then
all six calmly walked down the road.
Persons who saw the robbery say that
if the men had an automobile, they
had it hid, for no one saw them move
out in one.

HIGHWAY BILL GETS THROUGH
But Only After Legislature Had Cut
Appropriation to $4,000

The Bennett State Highway bill,
which was defeated in the Senate was
reconsidered and passed both Houses
of Legislature last week with Senator
Handy's amendment, reducing from
S25O,OOO to S150,000 the appropria-
ton asked to enable the State High
way Department to float bond issue
for the completion of the modern
State highway system. With the
$250,000 in the original bill the de-
partment could have raised So 900, 900,
the amount estimated to complete the
entire highway system. The $150,OO0
figure will enable the department to
float $2,100,000. A final effort was
made to win over the Republican SEN
ators who have been opposing the full
plan of the $3,500,000 bond issue. The
Republicans went into caucus and an
effort to compromise on 100000 ap-
preparation, which would provide for
$2,SOO,0OO worth of bonds, was made
unsuccessfully. A provision of the
Handy amendment requires the high
way department to complete the main
State highway from Selbyville to Will
mington before undertaking other
work. By pruning the appropriation
the Senate has made it virtually i'm
possible for the Highway Department
to complete the system of lateral roads
through counties under the State aid
plan, connecting the county roads with
the two main State roads.

While unloading grain at Webb's
Mill, a double team of st. Joseph's In
dustrial School, driven by colored
man, started off and by the time it
reached Main street, ran away. There
was a scurry among automobiles to
get out of the way and some had close
calls. By the time it reached the Fed
eral Building, the runaway was at ITS
height and every effort to stop it made
matters worse. In turning the -Four
Corners" the team ran between TWO
automobiles and up on the pavement
of Clifton & Jones' drug store. For
tunately one of the horses slipped ana
fell or the team would have smashed
