COTTON.
NEW YORK.

New York, May 12.-Early Liverpool
cables showed how the foreigner regard
ed the government cotton report and
what they thought OF yesterdays sharp
advance in prices here by reporting Il
slack demand for spot cotton.
Futures opened 1-16d higher, but lost
the advance before our opening. There
was some liquidation at the start by
local scalpers and the opening prices
showed declines ranging from 2 to 4
points. The bulls, however. rallied to
the support of the market and distributed
large buying orders among brokers'.
They ignored the government report, al
though bearish facts of the situation
bank entirely on the statistical report to
advance prices later on. Extreme dull
ness and narrow fluctuations character
lied the trading during the afternoon.
The market, however, eased off on favor
able crop reports and closed at Il net adj
vance of l point on near months 10 net
decline of 3 points on distant.

THE WOOL TRADE

Boston, May 12-With the continued
dull state of the wool market here, hold
ers of wool who have been maintaining
steady values for the past six months are
growing disgusted with the outlook, and
a number are now willing to accept the
present market prices, which are many
cents below what their former views
fixed. -sThe feature of the market this
week appears to be the fine picking up Of
unwashed quarter-blood woods at what is
undoubtedly the lowest price on record.
One large manufacturer has bought 40O,-
600 pounds quarter-blood unwashed in
this and other markets at IA 1-2 to 15c..
These woods have until lately been quoted
at II to 1Sc. Fleece woods continue slow

ANY WAY SUITS CARLISLE.

Washington, May ~ Secretary Car,
Isle has received letter from Chairman
Morrill, of the senate finance committee,
notifying him of the passage of the PEI,
fer bond investigation resolution, and
asking the secretary if he desired to be
heard orally or in writing. The secre-
tary has replied that he is ready to do
either or both, as the committee may de-
sire, but he calls attention to the fact that
it will take time to prepare the informa-
ton evidently desired by the resolution.
Secretary Carlsle's letter to Mr.. Nor
rill saying he was willing to furnish the
committe any information at his com
mand was read and the chairman was
authorized to request the secretary to
supply statement in writing, with the
understanding that if additional facts
should be requested he would be asked
to appear personally.
Nothing was said about the time of the
beginning of the inquiry, the understand
ing being that this would not neces-
sarily depend upon the time taken by Mr..
Carlisle in preparing his statement.

"Christ came like He did because God
wanted to show that His kingdom was
spiritual and not temporal He came
to bring God and humanity close together,
and Christ went down under the lowest
of men that He might raise them up
Just as Mr. Stuart reached this point n
rain came up and it increased until the
pattering of the raindrops ON the iron roof
caused him to desist.
For a time the rain poured and sprinkled
down to the discomfort of Methodist and
Presbyterians, then the water collected in
pools and ponds to the sore distress of the
good Baptists and Christians.
The roof leaked in hundreds of places,
and bonnets and resses narrowly escaped
being ruined. 1t was 6 O'clock before the
rain held up sufficiently to permit the
crowd to dispense.

claim it has recently set up that, it can
regulate ferriage rates. The general inn
preston was that this power law with
the legislature only. Under an unrepeal-
ed law of 1907 the board thinks it has
the right to reduce the ferriage, and ac-
cordingly has sent number Of interroga-
tories to the ferry companies, which they
are ordered to reply to at today's meet
ing, which, it is said, will declare for
cheaper ferriage. The board will fix
cheaper rates and then the matter will go
to the courts. The traffic between here
and New York is enormous, and at the
prevailing rate of cents head the prof
its are great. The board will likely cut
the rate to 2 cents.

AFTERNOON SERVICES.

George Stuart preached yesterday to
the largest crowd yet assembled at the
afternoon services, taking for his subject
the DIVINITY of Christ"
He started out by saying: "Tm going
to preach little different from what
I've been doing. My sermon is one need
ed in Austin, and it will be needed after
we leave, because there is so much
theosophy, Unitarianism and other is
sues around here"
He then took up the birth of Christ. and
in forcible and logical argument,
showed that the birth of Christ, the time,
the place and the conditions were not ac-
cidents. God made nothing by acct
DENTS" he said. America is not an ac-
cident," and he argued that this nation
was to Christianize and free all others.
He showed that Christ was the ShilO
for whom the Jews looked and that many
were now accepting him. He named
one or two prominent and educated Jews
who had accepted Christ, and said: Last
year 500 Jews in this country came to
Him and it will not be long before all
Jews accept Jesus. Christ the Savior,
is going to capture the whole world.
Gods hands are on this earth. Gods
hands are on this great government of
ours. There are some very dirty fellows
connected with it now, but the good are
going to control it. I'm an optimist, be-
cause I'm a Christian"
Continuing his argument, he said:

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

Chicago, May 12.-Reports of chnch
bugs and Hessian riies in the winter
wheat country caused a sharp rise in
wheat today. July closed firm at 64c, or
1-Sc over yesterday. Corn and oats were
strong with wheat. Provisions also ad-
vanced. There was a fair speculative
trade in wheat, the market ruling quite
active during the early part of the SEES
sion. There was rather free selling
early good share of which was ON the
professional order, the influence at hand
being rather bearish in tendency. The
weather map showed a break in the
drought. all the western and northwest
ern states having rains except Kansas,
and the receipts in the northwest We're
larger compared with last year. The
government report too, was construed as
bearish. The market was helped and adj
vanced on second private Liverpool cables
higher, and there was Il renewal OF the
late seeding reports i'll the northwest, es-
pecially from the Red River valley coun-
try. where about GO per cent, it WIS
