things for which we should he thank

lecture course is $3.50 which means
$500 for "me and my girl No, can't

in this case is to the reins on an ordi-
nary set of harness SO that IL whip to
urge the horse along is not needed.
The reins for Il portion of
their length, where they are over

with copper wire. The wires are car

be put under the seat. When 1T be-
comes necessary to urge this horse AZ

Atwood, Violet Is Co.'s Cotton Report.
Special TO the Gazette
New ORLEANS LA, June 15-Atwood,
Violet & Co say:
Futures-Crop news, which is now the
main influence governing prices, is finally
showing its effects upon Liverpool, the de-
cline there on the day being 6-64c on the
winter and 4-G4c on the near positions, with
4 weak closing. Our friends on the other
side cable US that the continent was 4
heavy seller in Liverpool to-day and that
their market closed with an uneasy feeling
prevailing.
In the face of all this there was an at
tempt made in New York TO bolster up the
market on reports of 4 bad condition of af-
fairs in North Carolina and Tennessee. 1t
has been conceded for the past two weeks
that the crop in these two states was not in
as good condition as it might be- but the Ia
vorable accounts from the balance of the
belt were so general that the former cut
but a small figure. IL was only natural,
therefore, that the effort to advance prices
on such basis should collapse, and it is no
surprise to see prices there points down on
summer months and 6 points on winter po-
sitions
New Orleans being above all in the spot
market was naturally more affected by Liv-
erpool than by New York. and although
there was "a little excitement for time
prices promptly sought the level which the
situation justified, and we close 10 points
lower than Saturday all around, after Il
couple points recovery from the lowest one.
Scalpers realizing no market are anxious to
sell, but offerings are mainly Of undesirable
character while the demand is chiefly for
grades above middling. Purchases could
be easily made at concessions. Sales, 1900

Governments. STOCKS and Bonds.

NEW YoRK, June 15.-The stock market
ofshed this morning with quite little
boom in railroad stocks, but it had TO meet
AMI overcome the marketing Of a block of
Chicago gas estimated at about 10, 0tsa
Shares. and there was n consequent weak
sening effect of such sales upon the general
list. The feeling on the street is evidently
much more confident, and over Sunday this
sentiment became so strong that quite Il
number of buying orders were accumulated
and unusual activity and strength marked
early trading. The demand to-day was
not sufficient to maintain the volume of
business and the rate of improvement with
which dealings were inaugurated, and trad
ing during the latter portion of the day was
on the same limited scale as that of the last
two weeks.
The advance had been so material that a
sentiment in favor of reaction grew in the
room, and the higher prices of the forenoon-
were not then maintained. No special fea-
ture of any kind was seen, however, and
late trading was devoid of interest and be-
came intensely dull. Slight recoveries
were made in final transactions as rule.
and the market closed very dull but steady
to firm at the most insignificant changes for
the day.
Railroad bonds were a little more ami
mated than usual of late.
Government bonds dull and easier for AS.
State bonds entirely neglected.

Does it Disintegrate?

Z Considerable discussion has been INDUCED
in during the past few years as to whether
or not the young peoples societies of Chris
tan endeavor is a diSentigrating force in
church work. Speaking on the subject the
Canadian Advocate says: cat first there
was a suspicion that it might tend to
weaken the attachment of young people to
their own church and congregation. 1t
was feared by some that its influence
would be disintegrating. This fear, expe-
rience has shown to be groundleSs. 1t may
be said to have two sideS-one strictly con-
gregational and catholic. 1t organizes the
young people of congregation for strictly
Christian work, and affords methods of
training that fit them for usefulness in the
spheres for which they are best adapted.
1t has been found generally that instead of
making young people Indifferent to their
own congregation, it has deepened their
attachment to it and given them keener
interest in its spiritual prosperity than
otherwise they would have had. On the
other hand it has created between them
and their associates of other denominations
a bond of sympathy that is productive OF
valuable results. Love of ones own
church may be disigured by small
sectarian jealousy and an I'M
worthy spirit of eXclusiveness.
Sectarianism, wherever growing, never
appears a lovely plant. Intercourse
munislns is not injurious TO piery or the
growth and development OF all proper
Christian sentiments. So the stated meet
ings with the societies OF other churches,
while not weakening devotion to the de-
nomination of their choice, develop
spirit of intelligent Christian union, posi-
bly, all the more real and valuable because
there is nothing formal attempted in the
way of securing uniformity. The aims Of
the society are mainly practical. 1t seeks
TO deepen the devotion of its members,
teaching them to make their Christian pro-
fession matter of conscience. The sys-
tematic study of Gods word receives much
attention, and there is apraiseworthy train
ing in various forms of Christian activity
for which young people are specially fitted,
and by attention to which they can render
most valuable service
The two words ',congregational'' and
''catholicn-cach spelled, be it observed,
with q small '.c''--well express funda-
mental features of the work. All the young
people OF given congregation, for the
church that gathers and sustains that con-
gregation. and all such young people
trained TO wider fellowship in the catho-
lie or universal church of Chrisr-these two
aims have ever been uppermost in the
