I DIR. Hoge, the venerable Presbyterian
| preacher, at the invitation of Rabbi Cal
| isch addressed the congregation OF Beth
| Ahaba synagogue. DIR. Hoge's address
| delighted all who heard 1t, Je" and
| Christian equally. He preached broad
| truths which all good men accept and
| upon which the virtue and welfare OF the
| world depend His remarks were based
| mainly on the eventful history and he
| role deeds OF Jewish people. but in this
record he found lessons which apply 10
| all men and to all times. Dr. Hoge said
| that the Jewish people had cause to
! give thanks not only because of their
| preservation through so many Affections.
| but those who heard him should be es
peciGlly thankful because they live in
| land where they are free to worship God
| according to the dictates of their own
consciences.
The sermon Is said to have made
| deep impression on all who heard 1t, and

fail to produce good results. If we had

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The day at the
stock exchange was the dullest for a
long time past, the dealings in stocks
footing up only. 100000 shares. The
dullness was due in part to the holiday
and part to the fact that the Senate has
not taken definite action on tariff
matters. The tendency of prices was
upward until late in the day, when Chi
cago Gas, which had advanced l to Ga,
receded to CAS-. The genel al list was
strengthened by the recovery in wheat,
a little buying for London and some re
covering by the local shor,s. Many Of
the active stocks commanded premium
for use and the decrease of Burlington
and Quincy, l l-6 per diem, was paid.
This rate more than Offset the rumored
defalcation by an employee of big
down town trust company, which after
wards turned out to be small affair
and the unfavorable reports of the
Union Pacific and Atchison.
Little was heard of in gold shipments,
although the market for sterling ex-
change ruled strong to the close. The
stocks most prominent in the improve
ment were General Electric, Sugar,
Louisville, the Changers, Western Union
and Union Pacific. The rise was equal
to A@lH per cant, but part of this
was lost near the close. In the final
dealings the market was firm. Net
changes for the day show gains of 4@l
per cent. Wisconsin rose TO 7x.
Railway and miscellaneous bonds were
strong. Sales com prised $4,000 listed
and 10000 unlisted. Treasury balances:
Coin, S94.600,0o0; currency, S44, DIG, 900.
Money on call was easy at l per cent !;
