cnmodities has been about s.s per cent. in
tNo weeks. Tho local money market is
fairly supplied at moderate rates, as are
ether eastern and western markets almost
wlthout exception, but at few southern
potats money Is close or tight and much
catstion in extending credits prevails. The

probably worth some hundreds of millions
to the country, for an extended drouth
seemed near.
Trade at western cities Is quiet, but very
hopeful. At the south also crop reports
are highly satisfactory, and trade, although
only fair, or even sluggish now, and at
Memphis generally depressed, ia expected
to be excellent hereafter. No material in

region tributary to New Orleans by cotton,
sugar and rice. but the heavy rains have
done great good In general 1t may be said
that the crop outlook has rarely been
brighter than now, and this gives the
strongest reason for hope that any present
depression in trade will be temporary.

RESULTED IN A DRAW.
No Contest the Decision In tho jackson.
COrbett Mill at San Francisco,

s'~Ne isAsAA - CWu TEoUClsCOs
The meeting Of the heavy weights, Cor
bett and jackson, in San Francisco, was a
notable event In sporting circles. The purse
was large one, a total OF $40. 900, 81, 800 OF
which went to the loser. The wonderful
degree OF interest In the match was due not
only to the merits and prominence OF the
two principals. but also to the fact that the
contest would open the way to settling the
question OF the championship Of the world,
for it was generally understood that the
winner would eventually meet Frank slavin
or any other man who might come forward
for championship honors. The condition Of
the men was all that could hs desired na.s .,.s
vonderful ability and wonderful quickness
sulored mans ring experience is fur
greater than Corbett's, and it is probable
that this fact as much as any other made
Jackson the favorite in betting during the
week before the fight. mt odds ranging from
six to ten to eight to ten.
In view OF the great interest centered In
the fight the fact that II was declared a
draw at the end Of the sixty first round was
great disappointment Each man seemed
to have wholesome fear OF the other, and
the Sighting was more scientific than effect
I've. After this had been continued four
hours the referee, amid loud demands OF the
crowd, declared the 6ght no contest.

His Position ON Episcopalisn Doctrines
Plainly Defined.
Rev. r. Heber Newton has thrown down
the gauge Of battle to those who are clamor
ing to have him turned out OF the Profess
tant Episcopal church. In language that
had been carefully thought out he defined
his position on the matters concerning
which he has been accused Of holding here
tical views. He took no back steps. He
practically threw overheard the thirty nine
articles. He declared that they contained
no statements Of faith that were binding on
him. He stood on the Nicene creed and
under that creed he declared emphatically
that 1t was possible to hold all the divergent
views concerning future punishment, eyolu-
tion, the atonement, and other doctrinal
matters which are ut present turning the
religious world upside down.
