ply Of pessimistic crop reports and
export sale Of 0 1000, 900 bushels of

Grain traders said the markets
failure to respond more strongly to
these developments was due partly
to persistent hedging sales in con-
nection with marketing of grain
that has been under loan. Further
more, Canadian export business,
most of which went to Great Britain

Some buying of wheat came from
mills but this was offset by hedges
against increased movement of loan
grain. 1t is unusual for the pit to
be required to absorb hedging sales
at this time of year but because

HUNDREDS VISIT

Hundreds of flower lovers OF Will
mington and vicinity took advantage
Of the weather Sunday and visited
the improved section of Greenfield
Lake drive, where the Greenfield
Park Association, Inc, has peen
busy since Christmas making a
beauty spot of an %overgrown road
side.
Many just drove by in their cars,
missing the main beauty OF the new
show spot where the azaleas are be-
ginning to burst into riotous bloom,
but hundreds Of others parked their
cars in the designated parking
places and strolled along the shad-
ed paths, bordered with azaleas,
dogwood and other covering plants,
shrubs and trees.
They found the paths convenient
ly laid out, struggling through the
lane Of moss-covered trees beside
the lake waters, with flowers cun-
ningly planted at the end Of each
little vista SO that when the plants
are in full bloom within the next
ten days there will be a burst of
color to be in any direction in
which the stroller looks.
Particular praise was heaped up
on THE Island" which has been
constructed on the lake shore mid
way the section which has been
beautified. Here drainage bitches
have been transformed into a Ia.
coon with small tributaries which
have been planted to azaleas and
other colorful plants.
Members Of the association which
is doing the Identification work
pointed out yesterday the azaleas will
not be in full bloom until about
the middle or latter part Of this
week but that for ten days after
that the beautified section will be
afire with color Of the blossoms Of
the thousands Of plants which have
been set out.
