The wholesale market this week was fairly ac-
tive at about the rates ruling last week. early
in the proceedings the retail trade prices showed
some little improvement, and the market was
in sympathy with the wholesale trade, but this
did not long continue, and as a general thing
it was difficult to effect sales at the rates ruling
last week, some dealers considering the market
tbs slowest for a plumber of weeks past The
quality averaged better than last week, there
being more TOPS and fewer common Cattle
Total receipts for the week 1887 head Total
sales Tor the past week 1920 head.
Shcep-The receipts this week, which have
been ample for ali demands, were not AS nnmer-
Gus as lsst week, nor was the quality as good.
The market has been q little more active, the
result of 8 specu la tive demand to the extent of
some 1900 head for Eastern markets, the home
demand being rat .er limited. We quote at 4asa
&c per lb. Receipts this week 2847 head.
Hogs-The market has been fully supplied
again this week, nor does there appear TO be
any improvement in the quality OF the receipts,
flew being of a COCA shipping order. Prices
have been well maintained and there is q gen
eraI impression that they will continue to rule
near our present quotations for some little time
yet. We quote al 7aas2c, few selling at either
extreme, most Of the sales being recorded at SIC
per ID net. Receipts this week 6372 head.

ITS DUTY.
God gives it a responsibility it can
cannot ignore except at it's W risk, and
its failure to do its duty at its own door
was a more p~erilous failure than if the OBJ
iect was ia q foreign country. This failure
will not 90 without punishment. True,
i'm this matter its efforts had been resisted!
There was no ignoring that, but Christians
as Christians had no right to consider any
thinq a lion in the path. They must look to
God for strength to overcome it. In Ala
bama some ofthe best men and women were
teaching eolored Sabbath schools, and if
Lee and Jackson had been alive when he
came to Virginia he should have visited
them before going to the state convention
for he knew a talk with them on this SUBJ
5eet would have strengthened and en-
ceurased him. The speaker narrated the
familiar sEory of Stonewall Jackson writ
sng a letter to bis pastor in Lexington, Oh
the day after an important victory, about
his claas in the coleEed Sabbath school, and
nothing else in the letter. One need not
he a Stonewall jackson to be d hero; every
saan and woman who goes straight fors
ward in the discharge of a duty is, how.
ever humble, a hero and heroine.
The speaker did not believe God would
bless us as a people till we stir up to earn
est action in behalf of this race nor woalld
He bless a dollar sent to the heather il I'VE

doors. Gen. Johnson. appealed TO his
