FARMERS RETURN
TO EXPORT FIELD
Largest Soybean Crop in
History Completes With
Manchuria.
BY the Associated Press.

Sy the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-American
farmers, harvesting their largest soy
bean crop in history, were back in
the worlds export market today for
the first time in year.
Although soybeans are more ex-pen-
sive than any Of the grains for which
there is market here, they are
on what traders called competitive
export basis at the principal European
centers of consumption. American
beans are competing actively with the
crop of the worlds oldest and great
est producer-Manchur
Export circles here estimated 100000
to 100000 bushels have been sold
abroad this week and more business is
under consideration. The largest ship
ment Of beans by lake this year cleared
the Chicago port early in the week
This cargo of 100000 bushels was
destined for Montreal, where it will
be reloaded for ocean passage.
Commercial interests predicted eX-
port traffic out of Chicago would be
active from now until the close of nav
igation. late in November or early in
December.
Restoration of the soybean export
trade was the result largely of a de-
cline of prices the last few days COIN
cident with the 1888 harvest and the
heavy marketWard movement of
beans. Harvest was we'll under way
in the North American producing re-
gion centerlng in Illinois, Indiana.
Iowa and Ohio. The total crop was
expected to range from $4,000, 900 to
50000,000 bushels. compared with
4l.000000 in 1887 and 443o0,0O0 in
1885, the previous record. Experts es-
tlmated its market value in excess of
s3O000,00O.
The price of SO cents for October
delivery is cents lower than a week
ago and almost 80 cents less than
year ago. The current market is the
lowest in almost three years and COM
pared with top Of ST. 80 in 1887. The
futures market here has been so active
the last few days that at times it has
overshadowed trading in corn, which
is conducted in the same pit on the
Board of Trade.
A year ago about 100000 bushels
OF beans were exported to Europe
Manchurian beans traders said, some
times bring a slight premium over
American because of the heavier oil
content. while on the other hand some
buyers favor the American commodity
because it is cleaner. The fact that
this country is closer to Europe also
is factor in favor of domestic beans.

weekly review.
I'm those products that have de-

consumers and jobbers recognize that
such low prices might not be long
available. But there has been hesi-
tant buying Of other products that
have not been affected beyond the
occasional irregularities prevalent for
some weeks.

have increased during the past week

September. Automobile tonnage in
larger volume is an important factor,

been better"

whether the price decline will have
any repercussions on steel wages is
an open question" the review added,

TREASURER W. H. DRYDEN
RESIGNS FROM COUNCIL

William H. Dryden, for many years
a member of the Pocomoke City Coun-
Gil, resigned his office on Friday even
ing of last week.
There was pending in the Circuit
Court an oustere suit, instituted by
Bernard F. Moore, contending that
Mr.. Dryden was not eligible for the
position in accordance with the prop
erty qualification clause in Municipal
ordinances.
This action of Mr.. Dryden nullified
all court proceedings in connection
with the matter, and accordingly, the
case, practically, did not come before
the court. It is reported that Mr..
Dryden will remain in his position as
Treasurer of the Council. He gives
as his reason for resigning that he
was reluctant to put the expense on
the city of a long litigation which
might follow court opinions.
The case of Mayor E. w. Ross
whose election is contested by former
Mayor Ray v. Gladding on the ground
of the participation of illegal voting
in the late city election, will be heard
in the March term of court.

LIONS CLUB TO
HOLD CHARITY
BALL OCT. 20
Event Will Be Staged In The
ArmOry And Joe Haynes
Booked For Occasion
PROCEEDS TO CARRY ON
WORK FOR THE BLIND

Everything is in readiness for the
annual Charity Dance sponsored by
the Salisbury Lions Club, to be held
in the Salisbury Armory on Thurs
day, October goth.
For this occasion the dance commit
tee, under the craftsmanship of Lion
Joe Schiller, has booked Joe Haynes
and his acknowledgement orchestra of
fifteen musicians and entertainers
through the booking office of J. Roy
McLennan, in Salisbury. Featured
with the orchestra are such talented
artists as Barbara Burns, Ronnie
Chase and Clyde Rogers.
The national popularity of the Hay
mes orchestra can be attributed to
their broadcasts over the NBC and
CHS radio networks as we'll as count
less records made for Victor, Colum-
bia and the Brunswick recording COM
panies.
During the past few seasons the
orchestra has played many of the
country's leading hotels and supper
clubs. They were hit attraction at
the Hotel McAlpin, New York City;
repeated their Broadway triumphs al
Detroit's Athletic Club, and were fea,
tured at many other well-known spots
including the Nut Club, New York;
Atlantic City's Steel Pier and Dali,
ey's Meadowbrook Club, Cedar Grove
N. J. and New Penn Club in Pitts
burgh with KDKA and NBC net
works.
Each year the Salisbury Lions stage
one of the most brilliant social events
of the fall, with the object of raising
funds for the many charitable works
in which the club take an active part.
Much credit has been given to the
Salisbury Lions for their work among
the blind, which has been made pos
sible through public support of club
entertainments. 1t is to carry on such
work that the annual Charity Dance
is given.
