New York, October 13.-Today's

active and erratic all day. The iiQui-

satisfied with the declines they had
achieved, and their purchases to cover
short contracts were instrumental in
affecting the recovery; but there were
also evidences Of some buying for long
account. .H.
Very firm resistance was encountered
in some OF the stocks which had shown
greatest weakness. This was marked

buying was large and prominent. This
stock during the day went as low az

Washington. October 1.-THE naval
armor board will leave Washington next
Sunday for the south to look at certain
places with a view to ascertaining their
availability for sites for the rOpOsed
armor plant. The first stop will be made
at Birmingham. Ala. Thence the board
goes to Sheffield. Ala; Chattanooga,
Knoxville and Elizabethton, Tenn, in
the order named. 1t is barely possible
that. later on, the board will visit Pied
mont, w. Va. in view of the urgent request
of West Virginia public men. Great
numbers of appeals are coming to the
department from various localities pos
sessing any kind of an iron plant to nave
the board sent there to look at their
resources. Dut, in view of the fact that
the board has no authority to make any
recommendations as to the location of
the plant. it is felt hat such time could
not be u~sefully spent. BY the act of
congress Secretary Long is charged with
the duty Of submitting a description of
the lands, buildings and machinery need
ed for an armor plant, but this is not
construed to mean anything more than
the submission of plans for a plant, al
though he may volunteer a recommends
ton as to the site.

the market rallied quite sharply on

Of 5 to s points. Crop news was not a

ARE CLERGYMEN UNPoPULARq

"Mede' is the pen name OF a writer
in the Westminster Review who discus
SEES the reasons for the unpopu,arity OF
English clergymen. 1t is evident that
by "clergymen" he means Dre-eminent-
ly the curates and rectors Of the Estab-
llShed Church, and not The dissenting OF
Roman Catholic ministers The ques-
ton will probably be rather startling to
American ears; for in the United States
The men are scarce who would think of
broadly stating the proposition that our
clerSymen are unpopular. They may
have lost some of their ancient relative
influence; very considerable sections of
the people may abstain from their relig-
ious services, and he beyond their reach:
hut the lone Of public sentiment toward
them is respectful. Nor is their SINGER
ity called in question, even by those
who think they have left theology be-
hind them.
Il viii be interesting 10 recite the prin-
cipal reasons for the uEpopularity of
English clergymen, as given by "Mede."
partly because they exhibit the differ
ences between the eccleSiaSticiSm Of a
state and an independent church. and
partly because they show the methods
and manners which are offensive 10 the
people of modern society.
'Mede" starts in with the severe
statement: The clerGymen are now
adays so much diSliked or feared rs

Of this is found in The stage parson,"
Who. before the foot lights are held up

ucal matters. Another proof consists Of
admissions. made by Whitechapel and
