American institutions were regulated
to prevent them.
Before leaving yesterday on q brief
trip to Michigan, the agriculture Sec
rotary said investigation Of the Rus
sian wheat transactions showed q to-
tai Of 100000 buShels had been sold
short during q period Of four days BY
the all Russian Textile syndicate.
During the period, he said, wheat
prices were depressed five cents. He
Indicated further investigation would
be made Of the Russian deals by the
department on the strength Of a
statement by Z. v. Beitzky. president
Of the Textile syndicate, that the
operations had extended over q period
Of months.
Commenting on the claim the short
sales constituted legitimate hedging
on cash sales In other markets. Hyde
was sharply critical Of Russian ex-
portation Of wheat at q time when
that government, he said, rs r~ationing
its people and doing out food on food
cards."
ut Is not my province" he added,
ITO pass judgment upon policies Of
foreign governments. Il they elect
to sell wheat abroad at q time when
they find 1t necessary to ration their
own people, and to shoot men for
forging food cards, that Is their busi-
ness. Nor is It within my power to
discern their motives in bearing
American markets.
"But It is my province and my duty
to expose such transactions and to
insist American institutions be so
regulated as to make such transac-
lions impossible"
Hyde said the Russian sales prob
ably were not responsible for all Of
the five cent drop during the four
days studied. He maintained, how
ever, that they contributed greatly
to . bear psychology" which de-
pressed "a market which was trying
to RISE"
The secretary may extend his trip
to Chicago, making possible . con-
ference some time this week with Of
ficia1s Of the board Of trade.

STATE PEA CROP FAILURE
Reports From All Districts Indi-
cate There Will be a Poor Paf

The pea crop in Delaware tnis
year is almost a complete failure
if reports from pea growing dis
tricts are correct The farmers in
many places have ploWed their
peas under rather than try to save
at least a small portion of them.
This condition has been caused by
the extreme dry weather which
prevailed on the Del-Mar-Va Pen
insula during April and early May.
Following the dry weather the pea
louise got busy and destroyed
large fields fields of growing vines
completely. Most of the farmers
will not get enough peas from
their fields to pay for the seed. In
addition to the loss for the farm
ers, the Gamers will lose half of
the original cost of the seed peas,
for they sell the seed to the grow
ers for half of the cost 70 them.
Many Gamers have been compelled
to refuse orders for canned peas
because of the scarcity of peas
this season. The loss of the pea
crop is an exceedingly heavy one
for local farmers, for they depend
upon the money received from this
crop to aid them in early summer
purchases for farm operation.

CONSIDER CONVENTION PLAN
Some Kent Democrats Would Re
turn Custom Naming Candidates

For the first time in many years,
steps will be taken in an effort to
repart from the present system of
county primary elections in favor
of the old plan of party county
conventions. Kent county Demo-
Gratis Thursday decided to aim in
this direction. At meeting of
the Kent County Democratic Com
mittee at Dover, Tuesday, June
3, was set as the date of a county
convention to consider change in
the party rules to return to the
system of nominating candidates
for county offices at county con-
ventions. The convention on June
was preceded by a party dele
gate election on Saturday. May
81. Many Democrats of the coun-
ty are said to be favorable to the
change in the party rules, with the
principal argument that much eX-
pense can be saved thereby. Josiah
Marvel, Democratic National Com
mitteeman, attended the meeting
and was called on for an address.
He outlined plans for the coming
political campaign and urged the
members of the committee TO
work as a unit Herman c. Tay-
lor, chairman of the Kent County
Democratic Committee, presided at
the meeting.

Marriages. -Fisher-Spuck. At
the residence of the groom, this
Wednesday afternoon, at o'clock,
by Rev. ]. T. Umsted, Oscar Fish
er of Smyrna and Miss Lizzie
Spuck of Philadelphia.
Oscar Fisher, jeweler, for the
past fifteen years a bachelor resi-
Cent of our town, has made up his
mind to break the monotony of his
single life by committing matri-
mony, and simultaneous with our
going to press is passing through
the ceremonies of sealing the mat
rimonial bans. There is a little
spice of romance in his case which
shows that the matured, as well
as the young and tender are but
playthings in the hands of the
tickle goddess. Mr.. Fisher never
saw his bride until a few weeks
ago, but her image was mirrored on
his soul at first sight, and he was
unhappy until he had declared his
love which he was not slow in do
ing. In accordance with a custom
in the "Faderland' of spending
two or three weeks with the
groom before marriage to judge
for herself of the situation, the
bride has thus honored his home,
and being satisfied with him for
her"liege lord" their fortunes from
this hour will run down the same
grove in the path of their future
lives.
The baby excursion On We'd
nesday last on the "Tygert" was

International Harvester.

A preferred stock is one which has a
claim on earnings prior to that of the
common. All through the great bull
market of 1929, however. investors as
well as SPECTATORS gave to the common
stocks the preference. During this Pc
Rod the preferred shares. had few
friends. One day In September of 1880,
however, there was striking illustra-
ton of change of view. In the same
session International Harvester COM
mon stock sold at new low for that
year and International Harvester pre-
ferred stock sold at new high.
That Is generally the case in times OF
industrial depression. Then it Is that
buyers want security and not the posi-
bilities of appreciation in market price.
International Harvester had paid the
regular 81 rate on its preferred stock
without interruption ever since the
present corporation was organized. 1t
has been a consistent Garner for the
common shares, but payments thereon
have been at varying rates.
In the last 10 years the preferred
dividend has been earned by wide
margin except in 1921 and in 1922
In the first named of those years II
was not quite covered and in 1922 the
amount available for the preferred was
only 1920, but in 1929 net was equiv
alent to $46.73 share on the senior
issue. The preferred stock has -four
votes per share to one vote per share
for the common, this arrangement
having been made when the common
was split four for one late in 1928 in
order to preserve relative voting power
There Is no funded debt so that the
preferred is the corporations first capt.
tai obligation. Selling around las, the
investment return is 4.83 per cent. AL
though the corporation will doubtless
be affected more or less by the current
industrial depression and particularly
the impairment Of the buying power OF
the farmer, that situation is reflected
in the price of the common stock and
not in that Of the preferred.

NEW YORK, October 27.-Specula-
tive sentiment, as reflected in bro
kerage house advices to clients today.
was moderately optimistic in several
quarters, a resumption of the rally
was foreseen, although some pointed
out that quiet liquidation was still go
ing forward. Comments include:
NJ j. Meehan & Co.-Action of the
market lends to the belief that better
prices may be witnessed for the time
being in investment stocks.
Smith, Graham & Rockwell-The
position of the shorts is still tight,
owing to the difficulties experienced
in borrowing many of the leading
germs of a recovery in the better
stocks.
Babcock, Rushton & Co.-No real
change of sentiment is going to be
engendered by a two-day rally. What
real rally, with a 25-point advance in
the industrials. Such a recovery might
conceivably pave the way for suspen-
sion of some of the present liquida-
ton. It would certainly make the bal
ance of the period of torture easier to
endure.
Redmond & Co.: 1.-THE feeling is
generally more optimistic, especially IN
the low priced issues which appear to
have been nquidated."
Hornblower & Weeks: "a sustained
rally is overdue. it appears to have
gotten under way and it is quite posi-
bic that with a little more consolida-
ton today, the market will have di-
gested the adversely in the farm equip
ment shares and be able to continue
to rally without having to recede to last
weeks lows"
Shields & Co.: with short selling
in disfavor the countrywide campaign
of talking optimism has brought about
little better feeling that is responsible
for the somewhat improved rallying
power of the stock market. Liquidation
has been reduced, but there is quiet
but steady stream of offerings, espe-
cially in the higher priced stocks, that
indicates definite bottom has not
been reached as yet"

tionAt is still impossible to say with as

Gated the probability that such liqui-

The experience Of previous bear mar
kets indicates that on one weeks action
it is unwise to conclude that liquidation

Unemployment Is Problem
Every Winter, But No Steps
Are Taken to Help Jobless

among unorgnaized workers, is an
unnecessary evil.
"At present industries are making
no general effort to avoid layoffs, and
when depression year suddenly con-
fronts US with crisis of unemploy-
ment, we resort to bread lines, soup
kitchens and charity" the survey
says.
Attention is directed to the fact
that beginning has been made to-
ward more responsible attitude on
the part Of industry, but it has proved
a small beginning. In number of
cities manufacturers are making an
effort to keep their forces at work.
Rather than lay men off they are
working shorter hours and rotating
jobs, and while this is by no means
a solution, at least it shows an effort
to meet the problem, the survey says.
adequate public employment bu-
reaus, public construction work ready
for emergency, stabilization of en-
ployment, higher wages and decreas-
ing hours are essential parts of a
program to prevent unemployment, y
the survey says. But as yet we are
not making serious efforts to grapple
with any of these problems"
