STOCKS IRREGULAR
AT TER MESSAGE
Rails Firm, but Metals, UtiIi-
ties and Others Drift
Lower.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, January 4.-The stock
market responded with irregular price
changes to the Presidents message at
the opening of Congress today. Rails
displayed flrmneSS, while metals, utili-
ties and others drifted lower. Santa
Fe, Pullman, and Union Pacific got
up a point or more, but losses of
similar proportions were shown by
American Telephone, Cerro de Pasco,
United States Smelling and Case.
United States Steel eaSed. Transfers
approXimated 100000 shares.
Stocks backed and filled somewhat
nervouSly during the early hours, with
activity dwindling appreciably Just
before the time set for deIiverance
of the Chief Executives message. A
number Of the rails firmed on the
belief that, when the national legis-
latOrs get down to work, they will do
something for the harassed carriers.
Considerable profit taking, however
was evident In various issues that
have recently been moving ahead.
Grains attracted a modest follow
ing with May wheat at Chicago
eoging up TO the dollar mark before
slipping back a .trifle The other
cereals were somewhat improved, but
cotton showed no indications OF
pushing upward.
Advances Of fractions to around
point were registered By Union Pacific,
New York Central, Canadian Pacific,
Pennsylvania and Pullman. Similar
gains were shown by Liggett g. Myers
b, American Tobacco B, National Bis
cult, American Commercial Alcohol
and Douglas Aircraft.
Losers Of major fractions to a point
or more included Gu Pont, American
Can, Radio Preferred B. Johns-Ma
vile, United States Smelling, Cerro De
PaSco, American Smelling, American
Telephone and North American.
Among shares unchanged to a bit
lower were United States Steel. Beth
lehem. Goodyear, General Motors,
Chrysler. Westinghouse. National Dis
tillers, Consolidated Gas and Ameri-
can Rolling Mill.
While expressing intense interest
in the presidential address today, some
observers expressed the opinion that
the budget schedule, expected to be
delivered to Congress Monday, will be
of much more importance to the mar
ket. II was believed this would con-
tain the administrations detailed pro-
gram Of spending for relief and recoV-
cry during the coming fiscal year.

CHICAGO, January 4.-Slight tran
sient setbacks in wheat prices today
followed the delivery of Presidcn-
Roosevelt's message to Congress bu-
railyirg tendency was shown al thc

Market observers associated the re-
actions with the circumstance that to-
President made no direct reference tJ
the administrators attitude regard
ing the currency. Several other mar
ket factors were also regarded as left
in doubt by the Presidents message.

NEW YORK, January 4.-Cotton
was quiet today and prices moved
within a comparatively narrow range.
The Presidents message was carefully
studied, but it was without immedi-
ate effect on the market, which re-
manned quiet after its appearance.
May contracts which had sold up
from 1918 to 1878 during the morn
ing were ruling around 1915 in the
mid-afternoon market, which was
holding within a point or two either

Sc YEARS WITH
C. AND D. CANAL
Charles Pensel, Delaware City
Years Ago Drove Mules
on Old TOwpath
EMPLOYED SINCE 1879

Charles Pensel, employe of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal,
is completing 56 years of continu-
Gus service on the waterway. He
is the oldest employe on the canal
in point of service at Delaware
City, st. Georges, or Chesapeake
City. Mr.. Pensel is still active and
is empoyed on the Fifth street
bridge at Delaware City as an ex-
ira man. He first entered the en-
ploy of the old Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Company at Ches-
apeake City, Md, on June IA, 1879.
He remained at that point until
May 2, 1902, when he was trans
ferred to Delaware City where he
has been located ever since. He
has performed all kinds of work on
the waterway such as driving
mules on the toWpath, working on
the ice cutter in the winter time,
and working on the locks when
there was no other work to be
done. For the past % years, how
ever, he has been stationed at the
Fifth street bridge. Until a year
or so ago the Fifth street bridge
was wooden bridge that was op-
Grated by handcrank Now it is a
modern electrical lift bridge that
operates entirely by machinery.

STATE GROUP TO
CONTROL ROADS
Busy Making Preparations to
Take Over Highways and
Bridges Monday, July l
NEED MORE EQUIPMENT

The Delaware State Highway
Department is busy with their pre-
parations to assume control of all
roads in the State which, according
/ to action of the recent session of
the Legislature, will take place on
July first. Approximately 1850
miles of roads will be effected by
the transfer, and only about $50
miles of these roads are hard sur
faced or surfaced treated. After
July first all of the road work in
the State will be under jurisdiction
of the State Highway Department
and the county road forces will be
abolished. New Castle county will
surrender 727 miles of road and
Kent county will turn over 619
miles. In Sussex county 1,213
miles of road will pass from coun-
ty jurisdiction to State control. Of
the roads to be turned over in New
Castle county about $50 miles have
been paved, while in Sussex coun-
ty about a hundred miles has been
either paved or surfaced treated.
The Highway Department will di-
rect work on the county roads
through the resident engineer
located in each county. These
resident engineers are E. E. Down
ing for New Castle county, William
McWilliamS for Kent county and
John Kitchens for Sussex county.
the counties have been
authorized to turn over their road
equipment to the Highway Depart
ment, it will be necessary for the
Department to purchase additional
equipment to do the work Main
tenance crews will be selected and
and it is expected that
the Highway Department will en-
ploy as many of the persons, who
have been engaged in county road
work, as it is possible for them to
90 In addition to the roads there
will also be about one thousand
bridges transferred to the Highway
These bridges are of
sizes and all TYPES of con
struction and as far as could be
learned there is very large per-
Of them that are in need of |
attention at this time. At the
same time that the transfer Of
roads becomes effective the gaso-
inc tax Of the State will be in
creased one cent for the purpose of
raising revenue to defray the ex-
oense Of caring for the dirt roads.
Department officials are
oath to be quoted on the possible
effect Of the transfer of the roads.
7 is apparent that they are anx-
Gus to see just how much work
$ to be done and also learn Just
low much money they will have to
lse for this work.

AAA DRAFTING
NEW CONTRACT
To Be Offered Wheat Farmers
To Cover a Period of Four
Years to 1889
25 PER CENT REDUCTION

Details of the new Wheat-adjust-
ment contract, 20 be offered to
wheat farmers in view of the over
Whelming referendum vote for con-
tinuance of the program, are being
developed in Washington as rapid
ly as possible. C. A. McCue, State
Extension Director, has been in
formed by George E. Farrell, Di-
rector of the Division of Grains of
the Adjustment Administration
The general outlines of the propos-
ed contract as announced to farm
ers before the referendum, will be
followed, according to the word
from Washington The same base
periods for acreage and production
will be used, so that it will not be
necessary for farmers to secure all
the evidence of past production re-
quired in the first contract. AL
though the contract is to cover the
four years, 1886 to 1889, inclusive,
it is emphasized that if 25 percent
of the contract signers in any area,
such as the soft eastern winter
wheat area petition at the end of
any marketing year for a referen-
dunn on the question of continu-
ance, a national referendum will be
held to guide future action. Max
lmum acreage reduction to be ask
ed is set at 25 percent. This per
is being put in the contract
IN case heavy surpluses occur again
as the result of favorable years.
The present contract provided for .
20 percent reduction. but the most i
ever asked was Is percent in 1884. +
The new contract is expected to be i
considerably more flexible than the
lrst one, so as to make it possible
sor farmers to cooperate in the new
program, who have crop rotations
and farming systems which did not
it in with the first contract. Plans
Ire also being studied to adjust al
otments of farmers who complied
With the original program but who
ook disproportionateiy large cuts
n their allotments.
