There was no snap to trading today in any
OF the markets The war news did not appar-
emily materially affect prices.
AT the moment the trade has not yet ad-
justed itsclf to the new freight conditions.
which is now one OF the factors in the sit
uation.
Liverpool was 2is to 3-eid lower on futures
and spots were 1-S2d down, with sales Of
10000 bales
AT the opening New orleans was TO 8 and
New York to points under Saturdays
closing quotations. by noon, however. most
OF this loss was recovered and at the closing
hour New York repeated Saturdays prices,
while New Orleans was . to points off.
Houston New Orleans and New York all
reduced spot quotations lie and Galveston
closed unchanged. There were no sales re-
ported in either Houston or Galveston.
Receipts at ports were 626S against Sl5i last
gear and 1855 in 1895.
New Orleans expects tomorrow 1900 to $500,
against 1862 last year and 500 In 1896.
Houston expects Zoo to 900. against 725

PRESBYTERIAN BOARD
Is Entertained BY the Baptist
Ladies'

One Of the pleasant circumstances con-
nected with the meeting Of the synodical
board of missions Of TIE southwest was
their entertainment by the ladies' Of the
First Baptist church The ladies Of the
Presbyterian churches had promised to
entertain the visiting delegates and at
the same time desired TO attend the meet
inge. but could not DO 50 and cook din
ner. So. remembering the well earned
reputation Of the Baptist ladies for good
church dinners, they soon struck bar
gain. and the ladies were served Thurs
day and Friday at the Baptist church
at dinner under the management of the
z. Y. P. L.
1t goes without saying, the dinners
were q gratifying success. The service
was systematic and elegant and the din
ners. according TO the visitors. were i'm
mense. The delegates were both sur
prised and delighted at the catholic spirit
evinced between the two denominations.
The hosts being Baptists and the guests
Presbyterians, there was plenty of water
10 go all around. The Baptists have just
bought their old church, corner OF First
and Market, back. and the zeal and en-
ergy and unanimity Of purpose among the
ladies is a guaranty that they will not be
long paying for it.
Following is the program Of the board
session yesterday. Devotional exercises
were led by Mrs T. W. Tweedale of To-
peka- after which the minutes of Thurs
days session were read.
Synodical reports were read for Missouri
and Indian Territory by the secretaries.
Mrs. Innis Hopkins, Mrs. L. k Richard
