More Manufacturers Checking UP

BOSTON. June 15.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
THE sale Of wool has increased
very little during the last week.
Nevertheless, there is somewhat better
feeling on Summer street, since more
manufacturers have been checking up
ON the wools arriving. As yet, this
action has not been translated into
sales Of any moment. Most of the
business which has been done has
been In bright fleece woods at steady
rates.
TN the West, the movement Of
wool eastward Is increasing. mostly
on consignment. In the territory sec
tions and the Southwest, woods which
are being sold Of the fine and fine
medium qualities are bringing the
equivalent Of IS and 70 cents, clean
basis, landed at Boston, against early
purchases at around s5 cents clean.

securities and asserted these develop
ments cannot be expected soon.
Discussing the trend OF recovery, he
said. "the first upturn from the bottom
began In the Summer Of 1882 and
lasted four months.
THE next advance began in the
Spring Of 1898 and also continued
during four months. This latest up
ward movement started last December
and continued four months, and now
production has turned downward again
without equalling the volume reached
last year. ...
"The amount Of the recession 50 far
Is slight, and 1t would not have serious
or even important implications II 1t
were not for the great numbers Of un-
employed whose prospects for work
are now diminished. ....
The recovery program Of the ad-
ministration as explained In the budget
message contemplated the rapid ab-
sorption of the unemployed BY ex-
panding business and industry during
this year, with o progressive lessenins
Of Federal expenditures that would
result In q genuine balancing Of the
budget by the middle Of next year.
There is little prospect that these
developments will soon take place.
Hope for q balanced budget seems to
be deferred"

Prices in the bright wool States ar.

Prices In the bright wool States are
on about the same level as last week.
Foreign markets have been uri-
settled by the German financial situa-
tion and prices are rather irregular.
At the East India sales this week,
prices have been barely steady as
compared with last series.
There Is little yet from the piece
goods markets to indicate any defi-
mite trends for wool. The manufac-
turers generally appear to think that
prices on goods may crystalize at the
opening Of the equivalent Of about
rs cents, clean basis, for good fine
wools.

The chief engineer is being accom-
panied by P. A. Morrison, district en-
gineer for Dorchester, Wicomico, Som
erset and Worcester and w. c. Hop
kins, bridge engineer.
Projects to be studied are the pro-
posed relocation of U. S. Route No.

Dorchester and Talbot counties to the
new Choptank River bridge at Cam

jetties at Ocean City.

Just how far the governing body will
go is awaited with much interest.
More complaints have been made a.
gainst stray dogs upsetting garbage
cans, killing poultry and destroying
shrubbery than one can imagine. Then
there are the bowling kind, that roam
about the streets at night keeping
awake those who are trying to sleep.
The question has been raised by
many just how far landowner can
go in keeping dogs off his premises.
One man living near Easton bought
some very fine sheep. Dogs killed
lot of these and since then the farm
er makes it point to kill every stray
dog that comes on his place.
Another. man in Easton says he
planted quite lot of expensive shrub
berry in his garden, but it has been

CHINCOTEAGUE BEAUTY
SHOW MOST SUCCESSFUL

The American Legion Beauty Pag-
cant held in the school auditorium
at -Chincoteague was a great success.
The building was overcrowded and a
great number of people were turned
away owing to the lack of seating
space.
Miss Myrtle burlington was de-
clared "Miss Chincoteague" and was
presented the silver loving cup, and
silk sash by Mayor John w. Winder,
who wished her much success at the
State American Legion Convention
Beauty Pageant to be held at Lynch
burg, Va, September 2, and a,
where "Miss Virginia" will be select
ed to represent the state at the Ma
tional convention of the American
Legion at Miami, Fla, in October
when "Miss United States" will be
selected.
Due to so many beautiful young
ladies who were taking part in this
pageant, the judges had considerable
trouble in making the eliminations in
the different groups and much time
was required before the final selec-
ton was made. The audience was
well pleased in the selection of "Miss
Chincoteague" and believe she will be
selected to represent Virginia at the
National Conventiin.
The members of the American Leg
ion Post No. $50 wish to thank the
young ladies', the ones who furnished
the music, the acts for the entertain
ment, the Judges, the merchants, the
business firms and friends who helped
in any way to make the pageant pos
sible and a great success.

EASTON PROHIBITS BEE
CULTURE IN CORPORATION

Probably the bees In a certain see
ton of Easton became too busy man
ufacturing their winters supply of
honey. Trespassing on other peo-
pies flower beds may have had some
thing to do with the complaints lodg-
ed recently with the Mayor and Coun-
Gil against a lot of busy bees in the
town limits.
AT the meeting on Monday the
Council authorized the town attorney
to draw up an ordinance against rails
ing bees in Easton. Just how many
bees are in Easton is not known, but
