which he stated that with fifty thousand
ure.cbers for ten vssrs and one hundred and
isty million pounds sterling the gospel
nigh, be carried To every woman or child
on earth. More than one denomination in
America could supply all the missionaries.
England alone spends az much money in
intox eating drinks in four years. Ten
thousand protesting Christians might be
named in England who could give all the
money. More was done in the last century
"a give the Bible TO the world than IN the
fr-t ten centuries. The prophecy OF the
con version Of TIE world was being enforced
by the extent OF the work done and the sDc-
ce.s achieved. The second section OF the
Alliance met at 81. Paui's Church, where |
there was an immense audience. Kew. |

FINANCE.
There ia every prospect of early putting
an end to the prevailing arrangement for
greenb.css, and many old and prudentty (
managed banks are FESTIVE under the arrange
ment and desire the liberty OF managing their
own greenhacks az we'll as the National bank
notes, and TO receive and pay them out across
their counters: their receipts not TO be made |
- full a. before the suspension so long as
there is a discount on the bank checks in
Wall street, and they insist on the resump-
ton in notes, greenbacks or National bank
notes across their own counters. No day has ,
been named for a meeting of the Clearing
House banks 10 relax the existing arrange
ments, but the probability is it viii not be
later than Saturday or Monday next.
Mr.. Camp, President Of the Clearing House
Association, stated to-day that financial mat ,
tiers are becoming brighter, banks are gaining
rapidly in greenbacks, and confidence is being
speedily restored. The banks he Gays have
paid out and are paying more currency than :
ever before, and all demands for legitimate
business purposes being supplied. The loan
nj to about S.Dn
100000, and are being cancelled as rapidly
a. the general welfare will admit Of. Mr.. I
Camp is of the opinion that speedy cancel ,
ling of loan certificates would be disastrous. ,
He hoped they would all be received by
November lat, the date originally agreed
npon, hut st the expiration of that time the |
associated banks concluded that the public
welfare demanded a continuance of the loan
certificate. and the present policy would be
adhered 10.
The banks have, as vet, taken no action
relative TO full resumption.
