BUSINESS QUIET.

Waiting Tendency.
Mercantile Collections Unsat-

COTTON CROP POOR.
Dun 8 Co. Takes a Shade More
Optimistic View.
Sees Good Prospects For Wheat
and the West.

New York, July 11.-Bradstreets to-
day says: The usual midsummer dull
ness in general merchandise markets
has been emphasized by unfavorable
weather. by uneasiness at attitude of
the Chicago platform towards finances
of the country and by continued con-
servativism with which merchants con-
tinue to supply their wants. The vol
ume of business appear smaller than
last week.
Mercantile collections are more I'M
satisfactory and there is a disposition
among jobbers to look more closely
after credits. wool is still further de-
pressed with not enough business to
establish quotations. There is no i'm
provement in demand for fall business
in woolens.
Notwithstanding rains in Texas, cot
ton crop there is suffering from effects
of drouth while in South Carolina too
much rain has fallen for good of crops.
Pittsburg, st. Paul and Savannah all
report smaller volume of business and
complaints are heard as to prospect of
wheat crop on the Pacific coast. Anon
two dozen staple articles, prices of
which from guage of general tendency
of values, only one, print cloths shows
an advance over last week, coffee, pc
troleum, iron, steel. coal and lumber
being conspicuous among those prices
which are unchanged. The general
tendency of price movement, there was
downward advance in prints being the
result of shut down at the east. Ex-
ports of wheat, flour included as wheat,

pared with 4,134,0 900 bushels in like

BACK TO THE LAKES.
Whaleback Steamer Colby Returns to
Fresh Water.

Ogdensburg. N. Y, July 1.-THE
whaleback steamer, Joseph L. Colby, is
at the marine railway being put to-
gether preparatory to going back in the

The whaleback barge is now coming
up the canal in two sections, and when
joined together here the two will sail
for Duluth. The work is in charge of
A. Arnold of the Minnesota Steamship
company. The Colby was built at Su-
peri0r and taken to the Atlantic by
running the rapids of the St. Lawrence.

UNFAIR TO WOMEN.

Woman rights have suffered defeat,
and in quarter, too, where she had a
right to look for better things. The prop
osition TO admit women rs lay delegates
to the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. which met Ill
Cleveland, o., this week, was negatived
by very small margin. In total OF
ten thousand and forty-four votes 1t
lacked Just eighteen of being carried.
This defeat, however, carries i'll 1t the
germ of victory the very next time the
proposition is voted upon, for nothing Is
more certain than that its intrinsic justice
will pave the way to its final adoption.
One is puzzled to understand by what
process of reasoning any male church
member can bring himself to oppose the
admission of women to the councils or
the church. They are the very pillars
of the organization. But for them ana
the influence they exercise there is not a
church but would collapse, spiritually
and materially. They are i'll al directions
the most enthusiastic, Jealous and
patient workers. They give freely OF
their time and their substance,
and are as sacrificing Ill the
missionary field us amy man that ever
offered himself on the altar of his faith
There is no pastor anywhere i'll the
world buC will testify that but for the
women of his church his labors would
be infinitely more arduous, the dis
charge of his duties far more difficult,
and the whole burden of his office far
heavier TO bear.
In every congregation women form
the majority, and their assistance is
invoked and their counsel sought in all
difficulties and straits that beset the
church. 1t is not the men who get Il
church out of debt, but the women; ii is
not the men who conduct its Sunday
schools, but the women; it Is not the
men who lift the thousand and one
minor cares from off the pastor should
ers, but the women. Now, if their
activity and counsel are so beneficial i'll
the circle of the individual church, why
would they not be as effective and as de
sirable in the convocation Of churches
which is called general conference?
Neither their acumen nor their zeal Will
be less alert in the one than in the other
and it is quite probable that the results of
their cooperation III these general coun-
ellis would be quite as beneficial to the
church as a whole as they are to indi-
vidual congregations.
As question of abstract justice their
right to admission to the general confer
euce cannot be disputed. This convic
ton no doubt operated III swelling the
vote, and it will be Il factor III bringing
it up to such proportions the next time
the proposition is voted upon that the
subject will pass from the hands Of the
annual to that of the general conference.

Origin of the Loving Cuu.

There is an inquiry as To the origin oi
the loving cup The best account of it:
creation comes from the late Lord Lyons
British ambassador at Paris. According
to his narrative, King Henry of Navarro,
who was also Henry " of France, while
hunting became separated from lis com
panions, and feeling thirsty called at a
wayside inn for cup of wine. The scrv.
ing maid on handing it to him as he sat
on horseback neglected to present the han
die Some wine was spilled over, and his
majcsty's white gauntlets were soilOd.
While riding home he belhought him that
q two handled cup would prevent recur-
renee Of this, SO his majesty had two
handled cup made ut the royal potteries
and sent IL u the inn. On his next visit
he called again for wine when, 10 his as
constituent, the maid having received in
structions from her mistress to be very
careful of the kings cup, presented it TO
him, holding it herself by each of its han
dies. AT once the happy idea struck the
king Of IA cup with three handles, which
WAS promptly acted upon, as his majesty
quantity remarked, "Surcly out of three
handles shall be able to get one. Hence
