NEW YORK, May 24-The improvement
In speculative values made yesterday WAS
in "A great measure lost today and the stock
market was unsettled and to some extent
fsverish. There was little left of that con-
fidence in the immediate future aud i'll the
betterment of the situation as regards the
great railroad properties. which was so
prominent feature of yesterdays specu-
latiOn. One favorable indication WAS the
slightly easier tone Of tine sterling ex-
Change market which led to belief that
the gold exports on Saturday would be
less than had been anticipated and would
not exceed $1,000. GOO, but this was not
much, If any. of factor in the stock
market. The things which did affect the
share speculation were the publication of
railroad reports showing decreased earn
ings, the announcement that the
coal miners strike was still far
to the prospects of the tariff bill and the
fact that railroad managers in session At
Chicago bad not arrived at any basis of
settlement on the question OF rates. 1t
was a day on which the bear sentiment
Was uppermost and the shorts took adj
vantage of the pervading gloom to ham,
mer the market in the hope Of bringing
lug OF liquidation in some Of the leading
properties, notably Sugar, in which some
Washington accounts were closed out.
burlington and Quincy was also sold by
Boston houses and St. Paul by Chicago.
In the morning London was on the market
for st. Paul and Louisville and Nashville,
and in small amounts for New York
Central, and later n the day sold both
New York Central and ST. Paul.
The market opened firm at fractional
advance on Yesterdays quotations, Read
ing, which was "a lower, being the only
exception. For fully three quarters OF an
hour, the trend of prices was upward ex-
cept for Sugar. which, after the opening
rise, reacted n fraction but quickly rallied
and established higher level. Missouri
Pacific being also prominent in the ad-
vance. Before IL o'clock Sugar had lost
the entire gain, carrying the rest Of the
market down n fraction, including New
York Central. The speculation was heavy
until near noon, when fractional recov
cry took place in the general list and a rise
OF 2 per cent. In American Tobacco, the
greater part of which WAS subsequently
lost. Soon after midday the buying move
nrent spent its force and the market again
took downward course. The declining
tendency continued until near 2 o'clock,
when another recovery of a fraction oc-
CURED, promptly followed by a reaction.
In the early part of the last half hour
sharp up tnrn was made in which the
Cordage sharesand Tobacco preferred were
most prominent. Some shares did not
participate in this advance and recorded
losses of a fraction. Sugar was very er-
ratio in its movements all day, opening at
1881, receding to 1929. advancing to 1045ss,
then. after numerous intermediate 1uctu-
ations breaking to 100. and closing Is

HENRY PRESERVED SMITH.
Day Consumed In Hearing Professor
Argument in His Own BEHALF

SARATOGA, n. Y, May A-As soon as
the assembly was ready for business this
morning Professor Smith resumed his de-
Tense aud continued until the noon recess
At the afternoon session Professor Smith
Continued his argument, contending that
by its verdict of guilty. the presbytery
affirmed tbas the accused hal committed
the crime charged. but that the evidence
adduced had failed to support the accusa-
tion.
The appellant maintained that the
verdict o. guilty. implied that ne denied
Inspiration in the sense implied or ex-
pressed by the scriptures themselves,
but since the scriptures ana confession
cont lin no defini,ions, he claimed 1t was
not a crime in Presby terrain law 70 decline

or to decline 10 say that God must make
all He does perfect, accordiog TO our idea
of perfection. Il is not an Offense to af-
firm the facts wuich Careful examina-
ton discovers in the scriptures themselves.
the Argument was concluded by the
claim ttat it canuot be crime to assert
that Gods work is more effectually
done by His permitting some human
error to show itself in His instru-
ments. This fact has always been
recognized in the Office or the preacher,
aud why not elsewheres The whole argu-
meut was briefly summarized and an APP
peal made for careful consideration aud
enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
The argument of the afternoon was
closed by quotations by professors con-
nected with the new school branch OF the
church, to show their accord with the
prosecution.
The evening session was taken up by
Mr.. Mckibben's arguments. He read ex-
tensively from Professor Smiths book on
inspiration, from letters aud other records,
aud was frequently interrupted with cries
OF go on" read further" etc.
