EASTERN SHORE SOCIETY
BOAT TRIP BIG SUCCESS
$50 Members Visit Historic Spots
On Eastern Shore. Steamer
Talbot Chartered.

The first boat trip of the Eastern
Shore Society of Baltimore, which
started last Friday, was a big sue
cess.
Both Governor Richie and Mayor
jackson accepted invitations to 60
and there were about $50 members
of the society and guests on board
the steamer Talbot, which was char
tered for the trip.
The start was made from Bier 1,
Pratt street, at 2.3O P. NJ, and Ches-
tertown was reached at 7.30 o'clock
that night. The party was met by the
local committee and entertained. The
Talbot left Chestertown at midnight,
going out the Choptank river, thence
to the Tired Avon to Easton Point. A
number of the historically interesting
places in and about Easton were Wis
tied on Saturday, including Third
Haven Quaker Meeting House, which
is more than $50 years old and at
which William Penn attended meet
ings.
The party left Easton at noon,
stopping at Oxford and Bellevue,
where it was entertained by Mr.. Val
liant. From Oxford the boat went up
the Choptank river to Cambridge, ar
irving about a o'clock, and visiting
there Glasgow the family home of
Robert E. Tubman, member of the
society. On Sunday morning the par
ty visited. Trinity Church, the oldest
Protestant Episcopal Church on the
Eastern Shore. The church was in
existence in 1880 and has many inter-
esting relics, including a cushion pre-
sented to the congregation by Queen
Anne.
Another place that was visited at
Cambridge is the home Of Thomas
Holiday Hicks, who, as member of
the Constitutional Convention of 1851,
presented the famous resolution au-
thorizing the Eastern Shore to sepa-
rate from the State of Maryland and
become part of the State Of Della
ware. Hicks was Maryland's Civil
War Governor and vigorously oppos-
ed the effort to have Maryland secede
with the rest of the Southern States. !

Citizens Bank Vault Door
Installed; Weighs IL Tons

Much interest was <centered this
week upon the installation of the
heavy steel door for the vault in the
new Citizens Bank building. This
massive piece of mechanism is said tt
weigh $4,000 pounds, twelve tons; it:
handling was difficult, slow and rath,
er dangerous. Under the skillful man
agement of the manufacturers fore
man and of our local mover Of heavy
Weights, the door was finally adjusted
to q nicely.
The directors have placed on the
curb in front of their handsome build
ing an electric clock similar to the
one suspended from the; front of the
old place. The new one is on a pedes-
tai and makes a very attractive sign.

LEADERS EASE UP
 PRESSURE WHICH LOWERED MARKET
Wheat At Present Prices May Become Tragedy For
 Farmers
By WALTER B. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial tLeaSed Wire to The AEe-HeraId.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Stocks of fered further evidence today that the professional pressure which has been prominent among the principal actu- ating causes of recent weakness of late has virtually ceased for the time being. It is worthy of note that short lines put out yesterday were not fol- lowed up by the sort of general sell ing which one might have anticipated Ii the oVertureS were accepted as basis for calculations. Whether the leaders in the professional group have finally become convinced of the inherent strength of general condi- tlons or whether the market is being allowed to reGuperate, in order to at- ford a more substantial basis for further operations Is a matter which only time can decide. However, 1t must be admitted that in place of the bears taking points recently ad- vanced as part of a general propa- ganda, the situation in the grain markets now constitute real threat against the general welfare of the country as a whole.
 Wheat May Be Tragedy.
 Wheat at present prices Will pc come a tragedy to the farmer With very little further decline the grain market, and especially wheat, will reach a point where the farmers re- turn per acre for the entire year IS just about equal to the average daily pay of some of our highly skilled put more highly inflated artisans. These same plasterers, bricllayers' etc, continue their demands without sraring a thought for the class WhlGn provides the foodstuffs, but curtail- ment of the purchasing power or the same agricultural class is alWayS f,ected in letdown in industry ana it is conceivable that contlnuatlon of the present trend in grain prooucts might easily serve as an autofhae'o check upon labor demands.

BREAK CARRIES JULY TO
 22.5O PER POUND

NEW YORK, July 25.-The July position in the cotton market today eliminated in spectacular break of 40 points which carried it down to 22.50 with transactions at one time points, under October, whereas a few weeks ago the July position WIS bringing premium of 376 points on October. This collapse in the post ponement of the current month is al most unprecedented and has been due to a material reduction in the demand for cotton goods, together with wide spread mill curtailment and evidences that the new crop is making better progress than expected and will come upon the market in time to relieve any shortage caused by the scarcity of the old crop. The immdeiate cause for today's sensational drop in the July contracts was the delivery by owners of the local stock of some 15.0OO bales which amply suppl ed the demand and left the market for that delivery with little or no sup port Later there was a little scat tered buying by belated shorts which ran the price up to 23.4o. where 1t closed at 12 o'clock. representing a net loss of 45 points. With July con tracts out of the way new crop de- liveries received more attention from bull traders, and after showing some irregularity in the forenoon when December deliveries dropped at one time to 22.1O and october at 22.a0, the whole market became strong ana registered important gains in the afternoon which carried October up to 22.94 and December to 227b, the close was very steady at a net ad- vance of 20 to 55 points. This vigo-. rous upturn resulted from reports of very high temperatures In the south west, notably Texas and Oklahoma attended by complaints of hot winds. Several private crop reports were ls- sued during the day, generally repre- senting an improvement in condition over last month and increased crop indications. The weekly weather re- port was regarded as little favor p6ie hut had no material effect on the market. Exports today $50, mak- ;rn 475S o43 so far this season. Port receipts 4,05S.
