THE ORIGIN or the CAT.

weakness did not last long, however, as
the corn market quickly developed
strength on the report that the crop was

lions, and this soon had It's reflection In
wheat. 1t was found that while the ar
rivals Of new wheat were on the increase
they could by no means be called liberal
and we're being taken freely. This, to-
gether with the fact that July still holds
at q big premium, CAUSED a growing re-
luctaHce to sell September at the dis
count, and those already short were dis
posed to cover. The business outside OF
covering short sales was largely by the
scalping element. The big traders held
on, apparently having little confidence
in the present strength and yet feeling
that the short side was hardly safe so

raided prices down With no one to say

entirely from Offering any support and
prices OF the whole list dropped away
easily and without any important ln-
terruption. There was an entire alb
sence OF any outside interest and deal-
ingB were very small and confined to q
narrow list. The sharp break In Net
ropolltan Street Railway IN the after
noon accentuated the general weakness
and the beara were apparently content
to leave their contracts open oyer night
for there was no covering movement
manifest. The closing was near the
lowest, with met losses in many cases q

stead Of so. 1000, 900, as heretofore report
ed. The statement OF earnings for the.
June quarter was also considered dis
appointing. The stock went down cas-
fly six points and closed only one point
above the lowest. No very large
amount OF stock was dlsiodged by this
sharp decline, business being confined
almost entirely to one hundred share
lots on the break The recent weakness
Of the coalers also persisted, the offer
lngs OF Reading Hrst preferred indicat-
ing some continued liquidatlng of soma

nent for weakness, There Is a growing
feeling In the stock market that the
successful termination Of the war and
peace with Spain have been discounted.
The reception both OF the destruction OF
Of Santiago point to this conclusion.
Wall street entirely Ignored the dispo-
gition OF London to buy American
stocks on Torars surrender and the adj

Elijah on Carn,sI.

The descent Of Israel into idolatry was
startling in It's rapidlty. At first, there
was no notion OF supplantIng the wor-
ship Of Jehovah. The calves were set
Is substitutes for the aWe-inspiring
furniture Of the temple, TO which, for
political reasons, the people were no
longer TO resort. "These represent thy
God" was the language in which they
were dedicated. They broke the second
commandment IN an effort to keep the
first, making craven image 70 remind
them that they must have no other God
but Jehovah, Thus idoiatry began In
the Lnildest form possible. But 1t was
a start on down-grade. Velocity aug
mented. A few decades end the whole
kingdom landed in Sotal apostasy.
Priests Of God were IN exile, and his
prophets shut in caves, Under patronage
made the state religion. The cruel and
lasciyiouS worship Of Bar and Astarte
were substituted for the pure and ele-
VaHng fhelEm Of the Old Covenant. On
the very spot where Abradam had wor-
shipped the Invisible and Holy one, we're
now affairs for human sacrifice. and
groves for the goddess Of love. Such
disease as this needed heroic treatment.
The case brOoked no delay. Elijah was
a physician after the Lords own heart
He was not lacking IN nerve or skill.
He consulted with the LORD only. Some
deprecate the abruptnGss with which
he bursts forth into the narrative. He
needed no Introduction, however. His
very name, Elijah, Jehovah Is my
Cod. IS a rebuke to the current idola-
try" To have given the pedigree Of Eli
fab would be merely to satisfy curiosity.
It could not add 70 HE worth. He could
smile at the elaine Of long descent. Well
does Tennyson sing:
''Howe'er It be, 1t seems to me
IT'S only noble TO be good;
Kind hearts are more than corenets,
And gIniple faith than Norman blood"
That Elijah had kind heart in spite
Of apparent severity. He burst forth
through bounds OF pareonal interest,
stool alone in peril, AZ for the rescue OF
his fellow countrymen. He was severe
to the few, that he might be merolful
to tho many. History does not aRord
a subliner example of faith than IN the
man who, sinEle-handed. repaired the
decorated altar on Carmel, and in
presence Of an Rpostate king and peo-
pie conpetOd with 450 priests, deitber-
ateiy giving them every advantage.
Well may Mendels9ohn's immortal or
atorio reach It's most realistic thrilling
strain when It reachesthe frenzy OF the
priests and the calm assurance OF the
prophet.
