EPIDEMIC ROBBERY
IN HERTFORD ENDS
Arrest of "Cucumber" Be
lieved to have ltohhed Gait;;
That Hun Been Plundering
Stores ?f Its Leader.
Hertford. April 3.?The epidemic
of burglaries In Hertford bids fair
to stop for the mupient at least.
The arrest, bv Sheriff Whit Wright
late last week of Alfred Banks, pop
nlarlv known as "Cucumber" is be
lieved to have robbed the organized
band of its leader. Banks is in Ja;l
awaiting trial at next week's term of
Superior Court.
At least two burglaries in Hert
ford recently bear marks of "Cucum
ber's" leadership. Tin- burglary of
the Blanchard department store was
an easy job when gone about in a
workmanlike way, and a number of
men's suits wsrs Among the mer
chandise stolen. Karly Monday
morning following. Banks whs offer
ing a new suit for $f? in cash. This
was the first due to the1,identity of
the burglars, but Banks kept him
self hidden.
Later came the burglary of the
White & Company department store,
when more men's suits .were taken
and a number of silk dresses. Fin
ally Sheriff Wright ran onto Banks
and placed him under arrest. H ?
was held in Jail in default of bond
for the coming term of criminal
court. His partners in crime remain
unknown, but there seems to be a
very clear case against "Cucumber."
Banks is a fugitive from, justice,
it is said, having escaped some time
ago from the Hertford County chain j
gang while serving a 12 months' sen-J
tence for robbery. He has a pretty j'
bad reputation as a criminal.
Mrs. Hansen Ford of New York |
arrived Wednesday morning to visit
Mrs. T. P. Bennett at her home, 712

WOOL STOCKS ARE
ABNORMALLY LOW
Manufacturers Said to !?.?
Waiting to Sense Demand
. for W oolen Goods Before
Laying in Stocks.
ity J. c. ItOY I.E.
(By The Aitociatrd Pf??l
New York, April 3.?Wool stocks
In tin- mills of tht> I'nlted States to
day ar<* abnormally low. Hut man
ufacturers nt'Piii to be making no un
UMial effort* to replenish them. A
derided difference of o|dnion exists,
as is natural, as to what this policy
portends. Makers of wool* n goods
iassert their attitude is due to a de
> termination to avoid specuiatien in
'? raw wool and to let demand fo?*
? cloth dictate tlu*ir wool purchases.
I(-rttrwem, on the other hand, feel that
the policy in itself constitutes spec*
j ulatiou.
Stocks of wool at Boston, the
i leading wool market of the country,
? are down to approximately 50.000,
i 000 pounds, an unusually low
j amount. It is estimated that the to
:tal supply In the I'nlted Statealn
' eluding mill stocks amount to 7>0,
j 000,000 pounds. The domestic cli,?
j this year is estimated by some au
thorities at 250,000 pounds. This
'would make available for manufac
turers this year about sio.ooo.ooo
pounds, without considering imports
and exports, auainst a normal con
sumption of *?00,000,000 pounds.
In spite of the prospect of a short
age, as indicated by these figures
the level of prices ill the domestic
inarkets is still far below those of
I other countries. The activities in
the markets abroad also exceeds the
trading here. This has led to th ?
reshipment abroad of a very consid
erable amount of foreign-.-wool, ar-,
riving here In bond, which had been
bought by American dealers at ad
vantageous prices.
The Australian and South Amer
ican fee a sons now are practically ov
er and with the exceptions of the,
wools whicli have been shipped to
England to be sold at the KnglisK
auctions, American consumers will 1
turn to the domestic wool grower*
for supplies for some months. This
fact already has had some efTect on
recent sab s. The power clippers
now are ripping through the fleeces
of the Arizona sheep and in a short
time, the Texas ?'woolies" will be
running around without their win
ter coverings. The wool clipped so
far in the Southwest, has been!
shipped largely on consignment an<t
these supplies have been readily ab
sorbed. More than t?0 per cent of
such wools are estimated to have
passed already Into manufacturers'.
hand?. Contracting for wools on the]
Sheep's backs also has become
sliuhtly more active.
Boston buyers have contracted for
1,000.000 of I!*!' I spring wools In
Sutton and Schleicher Counties. Tex
as. payiug an avt-ra^e of about 4o
cents in th?' grease for eight months'
iclips and 4." cents for dm 12 months*,
growths. This level is not material
ly above prices named there earlier
this year, but Hi*- poundage Involved
is much greater than in former con
.tracts.
Souk* contracts also have been
sicn*?d In Southern Utah and even as
far North as Montana at prices only
slightly abov*? the levels of the Hos
ton market when losses from scour
ing and freight charges are taken In
to consideration. Never-th??-leBs. th*?
growers feel themselves to be in a
very strong position. This attitude
has been strengthened by the
-growth of co-operative marketing or
ganizations throughout the wool pro
ducing states. This move, it is felt,
will aid materially In making Port
1 land. Oregon, a much bigger factor
In the trade than heretofore. The
position of the growers is empha-i
sized by the fact that the number
,of spring lambs marketed this year
? probably will show a decided fallins
;off. owing to the strong position of,
wool.
The Influence exercised by the
style for women's suits this spring
has been thoroughly apparent.
A further factor in the wool mar-j
kets is seen in the announcement
that the British Australian Wool
Realization (Association's surplus
stocks, which have -been in process
of marketing for nearly four years,*
now have been practically closed
out. so that the Britishcloth makers
now are dependent largely upon the
n? w wools.

?Warmer weather has enabled
farmers to make ucmmI progress in
preparing spring crops. Cotton is
being planted 41s far North as Cen
tral Louisiana. This has stimulated
buying and jobbers report a material
increase in orders since the middle
of last we?-k. the demand centerfnu
around dry goods, shoes and grocer
ies. Hardware and rugs still are
hanging back. ^
Retail trade has been stimulated
by warmer' weather and the ap
proach of Easter. Sales this week
jiave been ahead of those for the
corresponding days of last year, al
though March business was five to
seven per cent behind 1923..
The increase has been notable in
silks, dress goods, linens, millinery
and men's and women's clothing.
Debits to individual bank accounts
here so far this year have averaged
$82,000,000 a week or $10,000,000
more than last year but fell off from
$90,000,000 a week in January to
