of the House and who is now a trus-
/ tee of the university. This is one of
/ the most important chairs in the uni
/ versity. While at Dartmouth Profess
/ sor Ryden installed a special course on

SHERIFF GRAHAM COLLECT ALL
BUT $1,000 ON DELINQUENT LIST

of 8 Cents on $100 for Library

At the weekly meeting of the Kent

Dover Library, at cents on the 500

thonotary, $168.66; Register of Wills,
S6O724; Clerk of Orphans Court and
Register in Chancery, $74.O5; Clerk
of Peace Heyd, $569.25. County en-
gineer Gooden was instructed to shape

structed so that it will be available
for use by the public. Coupon orders
$3,619.84 were ordered paid by the
Court. S. Carl Hughes, treasurer of

before the Court asking for $1,000 for
the use of the Almshouse for the pres
ent month. The court ordered pay
ment of the $1,000. The court also
ordered $500 be transferred from
/ the General fund to the Good Roads

the error and delinquent tax list to
collect, reported that he had collected
/ S1,45O.19 on the list handed to him

sion of time to collect some little over
$1,000 yet collectable. His request
was granted. In the event the Sheriff
collects the balance of the $1,000 there
will be left the smallest error and de-
linquent list known in Kent County
. for many years.

CHICAGO CHAIN MARKET

Chicago Sept. S.-Wheat, tended up- ward in price here most of the time to- day, chiefly as a result of higher quota tions at Liverpool and because of gossip that France would require heavy imports of wheat before harvest. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays fin- ish to 5-Sc higher, with December 1.02 1-4 to 1.02 3-S and May TOT 1-2 to TOT 5-S Corn closed unchanged to 38c lower, oats unchanged to S1Sc up, and provisions uil- changed 15c down.
 Large orders to purchase Canadian wheat for shipment to Europe were said to be in the market, and It was estimated that exporters took 750,006 bushels or more French needs were figured as to- talling as much as 100000 tons. Anoth- CT bulltsh influence was the fact that ow- ing to wet weather in the northwest hedging pressure was less in evidence than has been the rule of late. Besides, were good buyers of December whenever obtainable below 10S. Some notice was taken, too, of advices that fall blowing everywhere was being delayed.
 Anticipations that the government crop report would prove bearish as to wheat led to a reaction in the wheat market during the last hour, wiping out much of the earlier gains. Northwestern inte- rests were conspicuous in the selling.
 There was broad trade In corn, but prices changes were of little importance. Commission houses bought on a large scale, whereas holders who wished to se- cure profits took to the selling side. and aided by showers in Iowa and Nebraska held values down. The government crop report regarding corn proved to be about as generally expected. Demand for oats was quite active on the part of shorts, Provisions lacked support des- pite higher quotations on hogs.

sIAnKET oArNrD srRExorH

New York. Sept s.-Exteusive short covering. coupled with a brisk investment damand for selected stock. resulted in an other substantiai advance in prices in lcday's stock market Proft-taking was in evidence throughout the session. but oEerings were easily absorbed and caused llrtle disturbance to the upward swing.
 Several new factories were brought to tho fore. Including United Cigar Stores, which vas pushed up s5 points on sales on only 300 shares: Tobacco Products prefsrred. which scared points on pub nshed reports of the benefits likely to accrue to holders from a distribution of United Retail stock and a revival of rumors of a merger with Schulte Cigar Stores. which enjoyed a brisk advance in curb market and Delaware and Hudson, wis.eh clnnibed 8 1-2 points net on the possibility of a segregation of it's coal properties
 Numerous other specialties including American Sumatra Tobacco. Consolidated Cigar. Central Leather preferred, Iron Products, common and preferred. Kresge, Liggett and Myers, Postum Cereal, Ma tional Enameling preferred. Lorillard and United States Tobacccs, were bid up g co IS points. most of them on com paratively small scales.
 New developments appeared to have little direct influence on the market, but the virtual elimination of the threat of a general strike Increased car loadlngs and the return of more shopmen to work all contributed to the optimism of the trading forces. Continuance of relatively easy money rates. however. is regarded as the most potent factor in the present situation.
 Railroad stocks were a bit more laggard than the rest of the list. but some sub stantiai gains were recorded, especially by tho hard coal carriers In addition to inc sensational gain in Delaware and Hudson. other outstanding shares in this group vera Lackawanna. up 1-4 Read Ing up 9; Lehigh Valley up 1 3-4 and Central of New Jersey up 3-4.
 Equipments were the favorites In the industrial division. gains Of to nearly points being recorded by American To- comotive, American Car and Foundry, Railway Steel Spring. and Baldwin, most of them at new high records Leather shares also displayed a buoyant tone, American Hide and Leather and Central Leathernreferred being pushed up approx imately points each.
 Mexican Oils recovered from their re- cent heaviness. but didn't progress as much as the other standard industrials. Domestic oils with the exception of Hous- ion, which was up nearly points, also were slightly behin1 the rest of the list.
 Total sales were approximately 1,0oo.- 900 shares
 Call money opened at { per cent and held at that figure throughout the day. There was a fair demand for time money and commercial paper with virtually no change In rates.
 Foreign exchanges were easy at the start on renewed offerings of grain and cotton bills against experts but they re- covered most of their losses later Chil- can exchange was strong, the paper De- sos advancing from 1881 to i4.f2.
