DAY
WILL BE STAGED
SATURDAY, 18th

Inaugurated last year, Old Ches
tertown Day will again be held ir
the Kent County Seat on Saturday
May 18th. Civic organizations anc
town officials are cooperating with
the Public Library to make the event
more outstanding than it was in 1887,
and a score of interesting exhibits are
being prepared.
Old Chestertown Day will feature a
tour of historic Washington College,
and many old colonial homes and gar
dens in the town. At all of these
places there will be special exhibits of
historic interest.
Laid out in 1706, Chestertown
boasts a past as ancient as any in the
state of Maryland and it's streets are
dotted with colonial homes, many of
which are more than two hundred
years old.
Attired in costumes reminiscent of
the early history of the town, Ches-
tertown's matrons and misses will act
as hostesses on May 18th, with sew
eral stationed in each spot to be open
ed for visitors. Information booths
will be located at Washington Col
lege and in the public square, and Boy
Scout troops will aid in facilitating the
easy movement of visitors from place
to place.
Starting at noon E. S. T., the tour
will continue through the day until
five-thirty, giving ample time for Wis
itors to view all of the places opened.
Proceeds of Old Chestertown Day
will be used by the Public Library, to
procure funds for larger quarters to
accommodate the rapidly increasing
collection of books.

Commercial borrowings have been
declining steadily: loans are paid of
from proceeds of inventory liquidation.
Credit expansion in that direction was
Just getting a foothold when produc-
ton collapsed last year. The inference
drawn from the banking figures is that
business and speculative markets are
not far from rock bottom in so far as
outstanding credit separates them
from solid resting place.
The failure of two recent offerings
in the London market, including an
Australian loan, to get ready re-
ception from investors, has attracted
attention in bond circles here in view
of large offerings slated to reach the
domestic capital market next month,
including the sl00,O0O0O0 U. S. Steel

lost some of the buoyancy it faunted
a few months ago, according to cables
reaching Wall Street. However, New
York bond men point out the local
money market is glutted with idle
funds and the supply is expected to
increase to near record levels by mid
summer.
Consequently, bond men here are
not worrying much about finding
market for impending loans of top

Pressure for Lower Prices.

From all indications, industry is
undergoing widespread pressure for
lower prices, both at retail and whole
sale. In wholesale marts here buyers
have been pressing manufacturers for
"off-price' merchandise to promote
bargain selling. Mounting stocks Of
raw materials and prospects of big
farm crops also are reported to have
given purchasers confidence in their
campaign for lower prices.
Yet Wall Street hears the steel in
dustry may continue to hold out
against downward revision Of prices
and wage rates. The crucial test at
this key point in the industrial pricing
system, some authorities believe, may
be deferred until autumn. when many
analysts think there should be evi-
dence of a swing toward business ex-
pansion.
