good fable for the world and just as good a
fable for the church. Whether we eat or

the glory of God.

Again, we need to bring the religion of

and announced my text, "Oh, give thanks
unto the Lord, for he is good; for his

whether there was any blessing on the SER

young mans heart. He said to himself,
as read the text: "'Oh, give thanks unto
the Lord, for he is good Why, have
never rendered him any thanks. Oh, what

brother, that you have been fed by the
good hand of God all these days-that you
have had clothing and shelter and all
beneflcent surroundings, and yet have
never offered your heart to God?
Oh, let a sense of the divine goodness
shown you in the everyday blessings melt
your heart, and if you have never before
uttered one earnest note of thanksgiving
let this be the day which shall hear your
song. What say to one say to all of this

have recommended into your everyday
life. Make every day Sabbath and every
meal sacrament and every room you en-

do; let us be willing to do it. We all have
sorrows to bear; let us cheerfully bear
them. We all have battles to fight; let us
courageously fight them.

LOWER RATES TO FLORIDA,
Mr.. Baird, of the Queen and Crescent, Says
Southern Prospects Are Good.

Mr.. Baird, of the Queen and Crescent, Saw,
Southern Prospects Are Good.
With the first touch of winter the trend
of passenger traffic turns toward the tropics,
and the busy season of Southern railroad
men begins. c. A. Baird, travelling passen-
ger agent of the Queen and Crescent road in
the Pittsburg district, says the prospects
for Florida business are very bright. The
inquiries are more numerous than in former
years, and 4 the weather is cold the South
ern resorts will reap harvest. Plenty of
rain or snow in the North puts the South at
q premium.
MI. Baird states that the rates to Florids
via Cincinnati have been reduced. Last
year the fare was $40 05. This season.
rate to Jacksonville from PittsAurg on s.o
Pennsylvania road via Cincinnati has
been fixed at SAT 90 and on the B. & O.
S45 40. The Pennsylvania rate via WASH
ington is $50 90 and S5 additional is
charged for the vestibuled trains, making
the fare by this route S55 90. Last year the
Queen and Crescent put on ten new vesti-
buled trains for Florida out of Cincinnati
at cost of over 5000, ,000 These trains run
through to st. Augustine without change or
extra charge, so that by way of Cincinnati
the Florida rate is nearly $40 less than on
the coast line and about the same time Ii
made It would seem that in the passenger
business to Southern points the competition
is keen enough to give Pittsburgers a
reasonable rate The difference via
Cincinnati is big enough to be quite an item
to families.

eral Tone Strong.
CHICAGO, Nov. "a sacrifice to politics
was largely the fate of the markets to-day.
Notwithstanding the dullness, however, the
general tone was one of strength. Com
pared with last night. wheat this evening is
Lc higher, corn, &c, and oats. Ac. The rise
i'll the price OF provisions continues.
With easier cables, and assurances that
the growing wheat in the dry areas in the
Southwest had been greatly benefited by
the recent rains, the first impulse was to sell
the market of. But when it was considered
that the days receipts were nearly 40 cars
less than estimated; that the deliveries at
primary points for the week we're again
small as compared with the previous weeks,
and that the exports from both coasts were
and -four, against 3,S20000 bushels for the
corresponding week last year, the market
took on a decidedly firmer tone. The indi-
els in the visible and BrddstreetS reports the
available supply in the country and Canada
ut 81 800 010 bushels-the largest on record
and 100000 bushels more than a year ago
and nearly 1900. 900 busbeis more than two
years ago. In view of this enormous stock,
the friends of wheat were not disposed to be
aggressive and hence trade was slow and the
gain in prices not important.
Corn was quiet but firm; local receipts
were only 2S3 cars, where $50 cars had been
expected; but the clear. cold weather was
looked upon as favorable indication for an
increase in arrivals, and TOR a time there
was an easy feeling. But the buying soon
increased, and the offerings being limited
there was an improvements.
Oats were flrmer on the small local re-
ceipts-only l59 cars, where 100 were ex-
pected-and in sympathy with the better
tone in corn.
Hog products were tirmer, mainly on lighter
receipts of hogs than expected. 1t was also
alleged that products were too low to show
any profit on manufacture from present
prices of live animals. Compared with yes
terday's closing prices January pork is l5c
higher and January lard TIC higher, but for
November the article is 2715c higher. Janu-

ALL THE LATEST FINANCIAL NEWS

SATURDAY, Nov. s.
The controlling money markets have
ruled firm during the week ending to-day,
but there has been nothing like stringency
and no signs OF it The authorities have
contended, however, that the indications
pointed to frmness during the remainder of
the year. The New York bank statement
to-day was a disappointment, showing q de-
crease of S1,215,0OO in surplus reserve,
where gain larger than that shown last
week had been generally expected. The
increase last week was accepted as meaning
that the flow of currency to the interior had
reached Its climax, but in the
light Of this weeks decrease
opinions may have to be revised little.
The return Gov, however, cannot be much
longer delayed. The reserves of the New
York City. banks are low, much lower than
they were 8 year ago, the net exports of
ifty-two millions of gold for the expired
portion of the year having caused large
depletion of the lawful money resources of
the banks, but the time is now at hand
when they will begin to increase, and this
increase will be followed by a decrease in
the uneasiness over the monetary stu
