FINANCIAL NEWS
On the Opening Wheat Is
Reported Strong.
Market Opens Strong--Bulling of Sugar
and Rock Island.
snecial to Tho Naws


NEW YORK, Dec. 30.--lt is believed that
todsy's market depends considerably upon
the bond developments. On Saturday the
advance in prices originated in the belief
that the arrangements for bond sale
were completed and that for few months
at least the treasury dangers were re-
moved. 1t was evident that Friday
afternoons selling was considerably
short, which resulted In the bulls advanc-
ing quotations and this in turn led to
rapid covering as result of which West
ern Union, Manhattan, Sugar and st.
Paul were slrengt thened and reflected bull
operations and increased confidence. III Q
sale were announced the rally would
probably go further. II, on the other
hand, the administration thought 1t wise
TO await he Senate the market would
unquestionablyb be affected by new con-
uitions and would be OF trad
ing character. But as long as
the bond sale remains factor IL Is prob
ably safe to conclude that stocks are
purchase on weak spots. The fact that
only 100000 of gold was exported on
Saturday instead OF the reported z, ,000, 900
was taken as positive proof OF speedy
bond issue.
Joseph say: The market will be pro-
fessional. The directors OF the United
States Leather Company will meet on
January 10, and Will declare q dividend OF
2 1-2 per cent, payable Feb. ]. United
States Leather preferred is purchase. III
Chicago Gas, or Chicago, Burlington ~
Quincy rally quickly they may be sold
fer q turn.
From Liverpool at 1890 o'clock p. m.
the cotton demand Is good; prices are
hardening and the sale estimates $4,000.
Futures opened steady with fair de-
mand.
The London market Is reported as open
ing weak due to ne financial situation in
America and q revival OF anxiety over the
rumored intrigue with Turkey. British
Consols have fallen sharply; all Americans
are.weak and call money has experienced
a moderate advance.
Joseph says: Clearing House certifi-
Gates will be issued this week and money
will rule favorably active; banks are pull
ing themselves in shape to meet the dis
turbauces incidental to January derange-
ments caused by interest and dividend
transfers. Ii is not unlikely that more
gold will be drawn from the SUBJ treasury
this week, ostens;bly for shipment to Eu-
rope, but in reality TO hold here for sub
scription to the new bond issue.
Wheat is strong on the opening and the
commission houses are buying on stop
loss orders.
The net income of the Wabash d ST.
$4,000.
From Boston 1t is reported that at the
clearing house money is loaned at seve n
per cent. and New York funds are at 20
per cent premium for cash.
The market opened strong to sell on
with slight bulling tendency on Rock
Island and Sugar.
The raw market opened strong, with
few sugars being offered, and to Buy

REV. FISHERS GLASSES. a
They Disappeared From the Pulpit and the
Loser Has Suspicious.

Rev. S. p. Fisher. colored. has lost his
glasses.
They disappeared from the pulpit some time
during the funeral services that Mr.. Fisher
conducted over the remains of the late M.
Shanklin. That was early in the present
month. Since then Mr. Fisher has been un'
able to find any trace OF them, but he thinks
that one of two or three persons ought to
know something about the matter. and he
doesn't hesitate TO say 30. in language that
may be said TO be pointed, IL 1t is not direct.
IL appears that Mr.. Fisher. by request OF
the late Mr.. Shanklin. preached the funeral
sermon over the remains of the latter. in the
church presided over by Rev Crocker. Rev.
Crocker was also in attendance. and Mr..
Watson. the sexton. presided at the organ.
Rev. Fisher wrote to the widow about the
matter. but Mrs. Shanklin declined TO accept
any responsibility In the matter OF ths lost
glasses, and didn't want to be dragged into
any correspondence over IL. simply because
Rev. Fisher preached her husbands funeral
service. But IL really IL hard luck for Rev.
Fisher. he explained the case clearly enough
to Mrs. Shanklin. As he Writes he took the
glasses out OF his pocket and laid thepi in the
pulpit 20 that he could button his coat. Then
he came away and left them there, and he
hasn't found any ybody who acknowledges to
ever Seeing them. AS he states, somebody
ought to know where the glasses are. They
pre not now on the pulpit. and they couldn't
have walked of without help. "If do not
get them" writes Rev. Fisher to the widow.
In setting forth the circumstances. 81 am So
out. besides my time and expense in attending
the funeral So you see il will be "a very dear
funeral to me. Now" he continues. 81 do
not wish to put the saddle on the wrong
horse. That Is. Go not wish to accuse any
special person. But do say. some ono has
my glasses.
And what's more. he declares he suspects
who has them. even though he may not be
able TO prove his susicions.

Bishop Goodsell Describes His Expe.
rienceS of Five Con.
ferenceS.

"The San Francisco Monday Club ex-
presses grateful acknowledgment for Gov
ernment protection given our missionaries
in the Turkish empire, and implore pro-
lection for Armenians."
The above telegram was dispatched to
Washington yesterday afternoon by the
Congregational pastors of this City as the
result of a long discussion on the Arme-
nian question. Resolutions were intro
duced early in the meeting by Rev. DIR.
Williams thanking the United States
Government for what it has done ana urg-
ing it to take further action toward stop
ping the outrages. The resolutions were
adopted, but later they were referred to q
committee to be made more emphatic.
In the discussion Rev. DR.. Frere, describ-
ing success of missionary work in Armenia,
said: II have no doubt but that this very
success has been in some degree the cause
of the outbreak. The fact that the Arme-
mans are being pervaded with the spirit
of Christian life and liberty has aroused
the jealousy of the Porte.
f'Do you credit the statement that Arme-
mans have slaughtered Turks" asked Dr.
Pond.
NO" replied Dr. Frere. "They are not
allowed to carry arms. There is body of
Armenians who have been educated and
are disgusted at the existing order of
things; they have formed a revolutionary
committee, but do not believe they have
committed atrocities
DR.. Williams made an earnest speech,
denouncIng the Turk. DR.. Pond shared
these views with regard to the Ottomans,
but he also expressed distrust of Russia.
IF the source of these atrocities was IN
covered | should not be surprised to find
that Russia was more responsible than
Turkey. Russia wants Constantinople,
and her agents stir up strife to the undo
ing of the Ottoman EN- pire-"-..-. /" -------.--
Rev. w. Tubbs, who spoke from expert
ence of Turkish life, said he despised the
Turks heartily, but he believed that Rus
sian agents fomented the discord and
secretly supplied the Armenians with
arms. Rev. Mr.. Scudder believed in the
American Government acting for the
cause of humanity, and not relying on
any other power. The general sense of
the meeting was with DR.. Scudder. and it
was, therefore, resolved to make the reso-
lutions which had previously been adopted
stronger. DR.. Williams. DR.. Scudder, DR..
Frere, DR.. Mooar and DR.. Pond were ap-
pointed a committee to frame stronger
resolutions, and they were authorized TO
send them to Washington. DR.. Williams
introduced the telegram quoted above,
and it was resolved to send it without an
hour delay.

liver lecture to the defendant. ~ would
advise vou," said the Judge, 'to return to
your wife and family and not go gadding
around the country with another woman.
The time is not far distant when, if you
persist in your present course, you will be
upon your 'uppers' without friends, and
then you will be prey to remorse.
II want you to promise me that you will
at least support your wife and children,
and with that object in view shall make
an order that your cash bail be reduced
from $500 to $3.50 and that the $3.50 be sent
to your wife and family. Isthat agree able
to you?" :, ;, NJ, or
The Judge then continued the case till
tomorrow.
Marx signed the order on the City
Treasurer for the $3.50, which was drawn
by Clerk OBrien of Judge Campbell's
court and forwarded by him through
Wells. Fargo & Co. to Mrs. Marx, who is
at present living with her parents at
Scranton, Pa Marx paid the IS cents

plea IN Its behalf, stating that Mayor

Gus "Aye."

his denomination and its increase in prop
erty were encouraging. ave shall 90 to the
