THE LUMBER MARKET.

This has been week of comparative
quiet SO far as demand for yard stock is
concerned. Texas dealers are ordering very
sparingly, perhaps on account of the near
approach of the stock taking period, but
there are encouraging signs that the new
year will open with a decidedly improved
ooudtion in this respect Severe weather
in the Northwest, which has retarded all
building improvements, has likewise had
an adverse influence ON demand from that
section. However, considering the uu-
favorable influences and the season the
demand has not been altogether unsatls-
factory. In the matter of timber bills the
situation is entirely satisfactory. To the
large onlers already referred to the mills
are making constant additions the bills
now in hand being sufficient to run them
far INTO the coming year. There has been
ro material improvement in the export
feature OF the trade. Perhaps the good
interior demand and the facilities for
reaching important markets has influenced
manufacturers to neglect this line. Prices
us general thing are good.
There has been little or no change in tho
sningle market. The demand is fair.

On invitation these brethren came
to our town the 4th Sunday in June,
pitched their tent, and for I9 days
Brother Mcconnell preached in the
power and demonstration of the
Spirit, and Brother Mackey held up his
hands by leading in songs so sweetly
aided by Sister Mcconnell and our
local choir. 1t was the Gospel day
by day set to music, and made one fee
that we would have it charm us last
on earth and greet us first in Heaven,
God honored his servants these
days by calling from darkness to light
$50 souls, who, with glad hearts,
testified that our Christ has power or
earth to forgive sin. Scores and hun
dreds OF believers were wonderfully
strengthened.
Resolved End. That we commend
Brother Mcconnell and wife to oul
brethren of this conference. We love
them for their works sake; and tt
Brother Mackey our hearts 60 out tC
