EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
The Deputies Sat Down Upon the House of Bishops Most EHectualy-Ex-Gov- ernor Bullock Improving.

Minneapolis, Oct. 1S.-The Episcopal deputies inaugurated the business of the fifteen days session this morning with report from the committee on consecra- ton of the bishops approving the nomna- ton of Rev. Peter Trimble of Sault Ste Marie, Mich, as missionary bishop of Alaska. It was decided to consider the nomination in executive session this aft ernoon. A motion for the appointment of a committee of six to confer with the Washington committee and arrange that the triennial of 1898 be held in a place oth- CT than church was laid on the ta ble
 Technical Amendments to the canon relating to the composition of the mis- sionary council of the church were re- ported by Dr. Davenport of Tennessee and after being discussed at length were laid aside for further alteration.
 Something of a sensation was created when Dean Hoffman. from the commit tee on conSecration of bishops, presented a supplementary report referring back to the bishops their nomination of Rev J. M. Francis as bishop of the new mis- sionary journal of Kyola, Japan, on the ground that the house had not been con- suited concerning the creation of the proposed journal and had no information that such journal had been canonically erected. The deputies were evidently in clined to be jealous of their vested rights for when the question on the adoption of the report was put not a voice was raised in the neg gative, and the message of the bishops was returned to them instanter After this matter had been disposed of the house went into executive session.
 The condition of Ex-Governor Bullock lay deputy from Georgia, who has been i'll with erysipilas since the assembling of the convention was so far improved today that he was permitted to leave his room.

Rradstreet,s Review.


 New York, Oct. 1S.-Bradstreet to- morrow will say: \ There is less push to the general move ment this week. as indicated by reports from western jobbers and others, whose travellers have returned from trips west and northwest.
 There are. of course, noteworthy ex- centions. Baltimore merchants finding relatively most satisfactory trade. This is largely due to the remarka ply faVora. ble conditions at the south. In general the volume of business appears slightly smaller this week, but with widespread, |, although somewhat irregular. demand.
 The total business failures throughout the United States this week aggregate 229. as against 274 last week, 253 in the like week one year ago. $40 and 26l Tor the same weeks in 1893 and 1892. At the west business failures practically doubled this week. as compared with last.
 Favorable trade reports from the south continue to specify continued increases of wholesale and retail demand, with cotton moving freely. Collections are improving and merchants anticipating indebtedness in some instances. Bank clearings continue to increase.
 The increasing cotton movement and speculation is probably responsible for inc large gain at New Orleans-55 per cent-Baltimore 2S per cent and Savan- nah 19 per cent. Among other large gains is that of 27 per cent at Philadel- phia.
 Among higher prices for staple are those for cotton and cotton goods. which reflect immense speculation and good actual demand growing out of belief in a short crop. Reports that New Orleans houses have tried to corner October de- livery are said to be confirmed by strong support from the market
 Wheat closes higher on a better ex- port demand and continued dry weather, although spring wheat receipts are very large Winter wheat brands of four are scarce and higher. Corn is firm on re- stricted receipts and oats, coffee and coal are also higher the latter on continued progress toward paying rates Low prices for steel billets reflect the subsid- ence of the late furore in the iron and steel trade, but Bessemer pig Is un- changed.
