In Flour the movement was slow and
unsatisfactory. Most jobbcrs were we'll

ing, but the tone Of the market was firm,
in sympathy with wheat. Spot Bran was
firm, under small supplies and Il continued

Of Hay were moderate, and the better
grades sold readi y at full prices Straw
was freely offered at quotations, but trade
was quiet. Refined Sugars were in good
demand and firm. Provisions were in
moderate jobbing request and steady.
Wheat opened firm, rndcr bullish spccu-
lation in the West, and the call closed
!c. above yesterdays final rates. Cables
were Il shade better, but foreign business
was restricted by the generally low limits
Of orders. Corn options were quiet, but
the call ruled steady and without impor-
tant change from last evenings rates. A
fair demand prevailed from exporters, but
bid, We're generally below workable
basis. Local car lots were steady, under
small supplies, but trade was quiet. Oats
in car lots were firm, with offerings mod
crate, but demand from jobbers was light
Cotton was unchanged.

numbered twenty-onc persons, would
be increased and his salary would be
raised. Various troubles have besct
him. One Tuesday night in june for
example, when there was a prayer meet

cred on the front stoop. Trustee Nlcho-
las Hanbacher went out to chase the
boys away, but they were too much for
him, and finally the pastor went ont

was perfectly willing to stand, but in
stead Of his congregation increasing it
lessened, until now only seventeen per-
sons attend the church. They have
been unable for some time to pay the
pastors salary of Sll a month, and he
has had to go from one house to another
among the members of his church for
his meals. When he arrived in East

had formerly preached, he was
