NEW YORK, February 10.-After an
active and higher opening, bond trad
ing became quite dull today and the
list presented an irregular appearance
The prime group was to the fore with
early strength, but dropped back to
Saturdays closing levels. The great
est volume of trading was in the junior
issues of the carriers, where some SUBJ
stantial gains were made.
The market showed evidence of ex-
tremely cautious buying, despite con-
tinued low money. There was a total of
$45, $4,000 of new offerings put out
consisting of more diversified list
than has been the case heretofore this
year.
Essex Railroad Co. construction mort
gage bonds, $10,O0O,000 of 5 per cents
priced at 1892 to yield 4.76 and $15,-
600 900 of Az per cents priced at 961a
to yield 473, both yields being to ma
turity. Both are due in 1855. The
bonds are lien on the Morris & Essex
Railroad, subject to a prior mortgage
consisting of $35 100000 of 312 per
cents due in 1000. The money Is TO re-
fund sums spent on electrifying the
road and the bonds are guaranteed by
the Lackawanna Railroad, which oper-
ates the Morris & Essex under lease.
There was also $12,900,000 European
Electric Corporation limited 6la per cent
debentures with stock option warrants.
The debentures are priced at par. The
company is a Canadian corporation
holding interests in public utilities in
Europe and the United States. 1t has
substantial interests in the Adriatic

Public Utility Co. and the European
Electric & Public Utility Co. Other

White Plains, N. Y, 4y35 per cent bonds,
and $4,000, 900 Middle Rio Grande Con-
servancy District, New Mexico, 51as.
In the market railroads continued to
receive most Of the attention. Denver

buying and there were advances in
Chicago g. Great Western As, Erie gen.
eral lien Is, Missouri-Pacif1c 51as,

cif1c &C" SIS. The Missouri-Pacifi is
sue was at new high level for the

convertible had a parallel movement

stronger in the foreign department and

Speculative Stocks.

Speculative Stocks.
Al grades of industrial stocks rose on
the big board last week, and, by COM
pariSon with the respective indexes OF
the week previous, each index showed
about the same percentage Of gain,
namely, / per cent. From week end to
week end however, the third-grade. or
least seasoned group of stocks, gained
31a per cent, double the gain of the
reimbursement type, and l u per cent
greater than the gain of the first-grade
group.
This would indicate that the current
movement had passed through its
primary phase where the most con-
sentative issues enjoyed the major adj
vances, and that the market as whole
has been taking part in the rise. Tech
nical reaction after the middle Of the
week had no sustained effect on the
third grade of industrialS. AS yet they
have not enjoyed the recovery made
since mid-November by either first or
second grades. In order, the recoveries
from last years lows have been, re-
spectively, as 90 and "a per cent In the
three groups.
Below are shown index numbers OF
prices Of common industrialS on the
New York Stock Exchange, arranged in
classes derived from Moody's ratings.

SUPPORT RED CROSS DRIVE
Every Delaware Citizen is Asked
to Enroll This Year

Every citizen is asked to join
the Delaware Chapter of the
American Red Cross, when the
worker from the various branches
of the State shall call during the
annual roll call; to be held from
Armistice Day until Thanksgiving
Day. Plans are completed for the
drive which will be inaugurated at
a luncheon on Armistice Day at
at the duPont-Biltmore Hotel in
Wilmington, when Henry P. Scott,
chairman of the Wilmington Chap
ter, and Pierre S. DUPONT, and
speakers from the National Red
Cross, will be present. The an
nual election of officers will be
held at that time. Governor @.
Douglass Buck has accepted the
craftsmanship of the disaster pre-
paredness committee for the Del
aware Chapter. His committee
will be selected at the end of the
membership drive, and it will in
clude a chairman for registration,
transportation, nursing and medi-
cal, clothing and houseing, and
canteen service; which will pro-
vide for the feeding of disaster
victims. This committee will be in
a position to meet any emergency
in Delaware, such as epidemics,
fire, flood, cyclone or any other
disaster, that the community is
unable to cope with. Disaster re-
lief is one of the major functions
of the Red Cross. 1t is of two
phases, emergency and rehabilita-
tion. The immediate response to
sudden catastrophe takes the form
of nurses, medicines, food, tents
and clothing. Following these
comes the period of adjustment, of
working back to normalcy. Lands
must be replanted, houses rebuilt,
wage earners placed in a position
once more to earn livelihood.
Eacn disaster presents it's own Pc
culiar problem, it's own challenge,
''In the name of the American peo-
pie We'll shoulder the job and see
it through" is the answer.

TO TEACH HIGHWAY SAFETY
Police Stop Motorists to Ask them
to Help Stop Accidents

A new style of drive for high
way safety was started on Monday
of last week by the State Highway
Police and will continue for two
weeks. The plan is novel and it is
the first time that a similar plan
has been used in this section
Monday morning Superintendent
S. S. Reynolds, with Corporal Bes-
wick and two policemen from the
Penny Hill station, took their po-
sition on the Kennel Pike near the
Barley Mill Road. On the road
was erected a sign reading "Stop,
State Highway Police. No Acct
dent Campaign" Seeing the sign
the motorists stopped. Superin-
tendent Reynolds or one of his
men, Immediately approached the
driver of the car and politely ask
ed his cooperation in preventing
accidents by careful driving and
observance of the traffic rules. A
great number of the cars which

ficers talked, told them of such
rules as might be important to
them and politely asked their CO.
operation in the safety campaign.
Some of the drivers asked ques-
tions concerning the laws of Della
ware on different phases of auto
mobile travel After the officers
had held a pleasant, but short,
conversation with them, the driv-
ers proceeded on their way, prom
Using the officers their co-opera-
ton. On each day of the next
two weeks the superintendent or
some of the other officers in COM
mand, with the necessary number
of men, will take their positions on
other roads, different one each
day, and again ask cooperation of
the motorists. So far this year
the number of accidents on State
highways which resulted in deaths
has been 26 which is one less than
for the same period last year.
There was decrease in the total
number of accidents, however, on
State highways.

Chestnut Crop Throughout Lower
Delaware Almost Extinct

Thirty years ago, at this season
of the year, farmers were looking
forward to harvesting the chestnut
crop, but that is a thing Of the
past these days. The crop
throughout lower Delaware is al
most extinct, and enough cannot
be gathered within recent years to
supply the local markets. They
are said to be scarce this season.
Chestnuts many years ago were
harvested after the first two or
three frosts, which caused the
