The General Conference.

New York, May 2-The second days
session of the Methodist conference opened
at 8 o'clock with Bishop Stephen NJ. Mer-
rll in the chair. Bishop Merrill read an
address OF the bishops, extending to the
delegates OF the Episcopal church, with
greeting and blessings. The address re-
viewed the revival work that had been go
ing on in this church since the last con fer
ence four years ago. Since then not less
than $50, 900 souls have been brought into
the church. The membership p has increased
from 780, 53f to ,093, ,935.
After dwelling at length on the growth of
skepticism, the address states that only
men of scholarly minds. who are able to
cope with the arguments ofscoffers. should
be placed In the pulpits. A responsible sup
port for missionary bishops was urged, and
the growth of the number Of delegates to
the Guadrennial conference was spoken of

made that would limit representation. The

Real Estate.

The REVIEW has called upon several
of the leading real estate agents Of
this city to ascertain the condition Of
the real estate market. From all that
could be learned, prices are firm and
sales are increasing as the season pro-
crosses. There is so much railroad
talk of late that property owners are
not inclined to sell, even at a good
margin. Our city is assuming such
II rapid and healthy growth that real
estate property of all kinds is steadily
increasing in value. 1t is difficult,
with all the building that is going on,
to find place for resident or business
purposes. In fact there was never n
better opportunity than to-day to
double ones capital by investing in the
City of Spokane.

The Metal Panic,

New York, May 2.-The metal ex change
was greatly excited over the tin situation
to-day. The first cable announced de-
cline of two pounds for spot tin since the
close of the London market. An effort was
made to have this exchange closed until
the excitement subsidized, but finally de-
cided their business should go on as usual.
committee was appointed to fix the
actual value of tin in this market so that
contracts could be settled on that basis.
After the special committee fixed the
official margin prices, business went on
evenly. Only nominal bids and offers
were made on sales, and prices after drop
ping 2 cents more showed tendency to
settle down to about 81 cents for near fu-
lures, which limits the weeks decline to
about 4 cents, although spot has broken
fully 10 cents since Friday. Tin has de-
clined here in sympathy with the foreign
break from 361 cents a pound to 21 cents.
In to.day's quotation no failures were an
nouncea, although 1t was reported that
some operators had been seriously crippled.
