Presbvrerianism.

PORTLAND, ORE, May Pin the Presby-
terrain assembly the committee on bills and
overtures reported that it is not considered
wise, in view of the present agitation in the
church, to proceed Immediately with the
preparation of the shorter creed. This shelves
the matter for another year.
The final report of the committee on revi-
sion of the confession of faith was presented.
None of the changes proposed impair the in
tegrity of the Calvanistlc system of confes-
sion. The action proposed by the committee
consists of twenty-eight overtures, each one
covering change proposed to the confession.
The report says: 1T was found impossible
to meet the individual preferences of every
presbytery without setting aside what were
known to be the views of large majority OF
the church. There was an effort made to
secure harmony at any sacrifice. The report
is the very best the committee has been able
to prepare.

ing the organization of an independent col
ored synod, but urged the great necessity in
such an event of liberal aid from white pres
byteries and synods in funds and informa-
ton to their colored brethren.

SPRINGFIELD, No., May 25.-F. W. Hindo-

Dallas county, Mo-, for $4,000. In 1870
Dallas county voted that amount of aid IN

which was never built. The bonds fell into
the hands of Hindokofer, an innocent pur-
chaser, and the court decided that they must
be paid. The case is an exact parallel OF the

Money Market Still Undisturbed.
NEW YORK, May 3O.-R G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Better weather has wrought quick i'm
provement in business at many points, and
other conditions are generally favorable.
There is little new in the great industries,
though other than standard brands of iron
are much depressed, No. 1 southern having
sold at $14.5O at Philadelphia in some cases.
Bar iron is irregular and plates demorallzed,
but wire rods are frmer and the mills arc.
sold far ahead, and the demand for structural
iron is large. Heavy sales of steel cotton
ties have been made at cents delivered, tho
lowest price ever known.
Sales of wool continue moderate and linn
tied to the present needs, but dress goods
mills have done larger business than ever.
The cotton mills are doing more business.
than IN any other year. Speculation in cot
ton has been active, with Lie advance, sales
669, 900 bales, floods and bad weather tend
ing to lessen the production.
Wheat is nearly Nc higher, with sales of
1000, 900 bushels, the exports being nearly
equal to the western receipts. The specula-
tive corner makes the price of May corn 6cti-
tlous, and oats one fraction higher, while
farm products have risen little, and also

Nothing disturbs the money market. The
merchandise exports are larger.
