made good municipal administration much
more difficult and costly, but has SD OBJ
structed the advancement both UI moral
ity and religion as To maze IL a grave
duty oI AL friends OF MUNICIPAL reform to
exert themselves FOR the arrest of such
evils in the future, and TO make common
cause in urging all good citizens to dis
card mere party spirit and interests aud
to unite in common efforts for good mu-
nicipal government without regard to their
party affiliations.
Resolved. That this congress wishes
to express its profound sense of the serious
nature of those evils which have their ori-
gin in habits of intemperance and in the de-
moraiizing influence of the traffic in in
toxicating drinks. These evils not only
cause the needless expenditure OF vast
SUMS of money without useful results. the
serious impairment of physical and mental
energies. the general debasement of cuar-
acter, and much of the corruption in pol
itics and government, but they are a Is" a
chief obstruction to the triumph OF mo-
rality and religion, repr"ach to an en-
lightened people, and tu Christian ciyili
cation.
Resolved, That. without attempting to
estimate the relative merits of the diverse
practical methods upon which men, equally
conscientious, mainly rely for suppressing
these evils, we wish to emphasize the stern
and the universal Christian duty OF the
friends OF good government, virtue and
religion, that they shall exert themselves
TO the utmost at all proper times and in
every way which seems to them the most
effective for such suppression. We think
that no pulpit should be silent on the sub
ject, and that every Unitarian laynan has
a duty in connection with il which he has
no right to- ignore"
In the absence of Rev. E. T. Hale the
Rev. F. L. Hosmcr. of ST. Louis. will read
the paper ON "Our Congregational PnIity.'
Al 2:30 y. m. a meeting was begun in the

United States government has bnught all
its supplies in that particular line. died

computations incident to il. Foreign gov

for the same purpose.
When the United States government "f-
ficially announced the results "f its OBJ
servations scientific circles -nn the other
side of the ocean were surprised at the
elaborateness of the computations, all
of which were due tu the delicate and spe-
cial instruments made by the Stackpolcs.
He lately constructed for the Naval
Academy at Annapolis raDge-finder for

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Had it not been for the timely aid extended by corn, it is more than probable that wheat would have fared badly today. As oft was there was nothing to urge the bulls on, prices fluctuatinS at a lower range than yesterdays close through out the entire session. Beginning there, the tone at the opening and for a short while thereafter was weak and holdersWere doubting in their minds the advisability of selling out, when the corn market came into prominence by reason of it's strength and through that medium wheat steadied, and preciation Bradstreets reported exports from both coasts for the week at 1,S24 900 week but nevertheless small by comparison with the corresponding week in former years. Complaint of the grading of the spring wheat comes from the northwest It is stated that only about % per cent passes contract, while like amount is rejected daily on account of the smut and other defects. September wheat opened from 65zs to 66c, sold between GOA and 66$sc closing at 6614c 1sdhc under yesterday Cash wheat was about steady to shade lower.
 Corn manifested marked strength, and prices rose very materially, net gain of a full cent being established at the close, the outside having been 12c above that. The continued feeling of apprehension among shorts that the September might receive a twisting, was one of the upturns The heavy arrivals which have been noted of late are very nearly if not quite offset by the good been good recently and the difficulty in ob- taining vessel room presents the greatest obstacle to a freer shipping business. In the distant future today's buying was evil dently inspired by reports of hot winds in portions of the corn belt, although the inn pression prevails that no serious harm has as yet resulted from that cause. September corn opened at 38Ac advanced to 39$sc closing at 3S7sc, 1c higher than yesterday. Sample lots were firm and 1c higher.
 Oats--It was quite proper for oats to de- rive Abenefit from corn, and they did. The buyers in corn were noticeaby acting in a similar manner in oats The September shorts were covering. and although this in terest has been reduced considerably during the recent past it has nevertheless shown that much will have to be bought before it is entirely eliminated. September oats closed A@ssc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were lsc higher.
 ProvisionS-The usual Saturday indiffer- ence was presented in the products market today Before the call there was some trad ing but after that time quiet market was seen. The opening was easy; weak feeling being communicated by the hog market, but the strength of corn threw a. little improve ment into the tone. The close was un- changed from yesterday for September pork and 2lsc higher forNSeptember lard and ribs
 Domestic and foreign markets were quiet and steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

Saturday. Night Aug. l. 1S95. This being the close of the week it is not untimely to say that August business so far has exceeded that of last year by all most double. The movement of goods, both in and out, has been more than encourag- ing, and merchants are feeling accordingly good spirited The feature of the day was another bal- loon ascension of ribs, they have gone sky ward another 7i& points, which added to the advance of yesterday, has broken the record for Two days this season. The closing quo tation on ribs in car load lots was $6.52ls.
 Flour, sugar, coffee and lard remain firm at unchanged prices.
 Chickens and eggs are yet scarce and in good demand at yesterdays quotations. A prediction was made that eggs would make another advance, but the present aspects does not warrant the assertion.
 Grain and live stock continue unchanged. There has been some movement in horses at the stock yards, three ear loads having been disposed of lately and one today, with another on for tomorrow.
