The report of the market shows "a decline but not
very serious one, in view OF the large supply IL Is
evident that panic has not yet foundts way into the
livestock market. The last of the buocss offered OF

fair way to be sold at Fory-fourth street yesterday
before night, In fact, the yards were pretty wen

Berry to avoid the further discussion Of the question,
and TO agree sustain him in moving an adjournment

made that, when the Society should meet as above,
Mr. Berry should move said adjournment without day,
and both sides would vote for the notion Dr.
Cheeyers success or failure not mentioned nor dd
even the British Aid Mission itself enter into the terms
of the agreement.
Accordingly the meeting WIS held on Saturday even
ing the lecure-rooIn of the church being flied The
motion was carried unanimously, and the meeting de-
clared adjourned without day.
