large quantities Of grain are coming in every

dealers. During the fall, dealers sat around
the hotels, ard when a farmer came in with
load Of grain, he had 10 hunt them up and
then they cared nothing about buying.
Now they are all watching eagerly upon the
street, and rs soon as a farmer shows UP
with a load of grain OF any kind three or
four buyer. mount his wagon and his load
i soon sold. The demand i. brisk and

AT TIE LAPrIsT CHURCH.


4 good-sized congregation met the evan
geliSt at the Baptist church last night. Maj.
PEN preached short practical sermon.
Almost any child 10 years old could have
reported the substance of the discourse
when he had concluded, so clearly was every
point presented, ana yet there WE food for
the strongest intellect. Several men occu-
pied the seats reserved for inquirers. 1t was
novel sight to see all men and no women
forward tor prayers. II somewhat startled
the congregation when the evangelist stated
that out of $4,000 conversions in his meet
ngs, fully 1900 were men. In most re-
vivals the proportion is exactly the reverse.
y collection WAS taken AT the conclusion of
the meeting for the relief of the poor. To-
night at the Baptist church Mai. Penn will
give al address especially TO the unconvert-
ed, IN which the necessity of 1.-THE new birth
will be explained, and the cause of skepti-
ci>iG exemplifed. Services commence at
