Chicago October 15-When the demand

the weakness IN cash grain In the north

pit today to act cautiously on the buying
side and prices We're allowed to sag. Af-

Before the opening reports were re
ceived from Liverpool that the market
had recovered all that 1t lost yesterday.
The news had an appreciable effect on the
trading here. first sales being at an ad-
vance over night of lSlasc. Though New
York continued to send reports Of large
export engagements, the news had much
less influence than usual, the prevailing
opinion being that reports OF previous
days this week were very much eXaEgcr-
ated. and that the advices today might
be duplicates. one unfavorabie feature
of the amrket. and one which had n great
deal of influence in shaping tho course OF
prices. was the weakness OF the cash grain
in the northwest and reports from Mlnne-
apolis of a pause IN the demand tor Hour.
The primary market receipts for tho day
were l,5S2,00J bushels, aa&inst l,205,"V0 BUSH

up to JOS boat loads. This was entirely

pApAL DELEGATE TO cUBA.
Chappelle, Of New Orleans,
Will Care for Island Churches.

Washington, October l2.-The annual
meeting of tho archbishops of the Roman
Catholic church began at the Catholic uni
versty today under peculiarly auspicioua
circumstances
Just prior to the opening session Cardinal
Gibbons. who. archbishop of Baltimore
is presiding officer of the archb!shops re
ceived cable dispatch from Rome an
nouncing that Pope Leo had appointed
Archbishop Chappele, OF New Orleans hs
apostolic delegate to Cuba.
This was the first official act OF tho vati-
can toward meeting the important new
cnurch conditions in the Antilles arising out
of the war
The dispatch made no reference to Porto
Rico, so that the scope OF the special mis-
sion IS confined TO Cuba. Archbishop Chap
pelle IS q linsuist, speaking both Spanish
and French. so that his work can be prose-
Cuted under favorable circumstances in
Cuba.
The particular duties Of tho new apostle
lc delegate to Cuba viii be 10 provide for
the proper assimilation of the church in tae
West Indies to American churches. Aside
from ecclesiastical arrangements the du-
ties of Archbishop Chappelle doubtless VIII
cover the settlement of questions relating
to the vast church estates and to the fu-
ture conduct of these communities, which
are almost exclusively Catholic. The annual
Those present were:
Cardinal Gibbons. ArchbishOps Williams,
OF Boston; Corrigan OF New York Ryan,
of philadelphia Feehan, of Chicago; Elder,
OF Cincinnati; Kan. or st. Louis; Hen
Messy of Dubuque. and Kaiser. OF MilWau-
kCe.
The sessions were private Tho arch
bishops completed their work at the after
noon session and adjourned, although q
committee VIII remain here uutn tomorrow
to apportion funds for Indian schools to
the several archdiOCeSes In which the In
dian work is carried on. At the close Of
today's meeting Archbishop Knin, VINO
acted as secretary said there was nothing
to give to the public, as the proceedings
had been confined entirely to the internal
affairs OF the church.
The pOpe's appointment OF Archbishop
Chanpcle as apostolic delegate to CUBA
continued to be the uppermost theme
among the relates. 1t deVe-Oped late in
the day that the archbishop had left Rome
and was now at Paris, where the peace
commission is meeting. While It IS the ac-
ccpted view here that Archbishop Chap
pelie would remain 1T the head of the New
Orleans archdiocese, yet 1t was felt that
it might become necessary to appoint a CO.
adjutatOr archbishop to assist him during
his special mission. The understanding
here ies that he viii go to Havana and
Santiago and conduct his work IN cuba.
There he VIII be the personal representa-
tive of the pope. just Cardinal Satolu
and Nons.gnor MarttnclH have represented
the pope in the United States.
IT was the source of some satisfaction
among the prelates that tho vatican had
on this occasion chosen an American priest
for distinctly American enterprise, thus
varying the usual rule OF selecting apostolic
delegates from the Italian clergy near the

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Heavier Increase in Loans Than Anttc-

loans as reported, was much heavier than
had been anticipated, ana caused some
surprise. The general business conditions
and the speculative situation do not seem
to warrant the sudden activity in this par
ticuiar, and il is probable that the loans
reflect an accumulation of foreign credits
in the form of long stertlng bills, rather
than domestic transactions. The position
of intcrHa tional exchanges, owing TO ad-
vancing rates "bro2d. and the heavy de
maud for grain viii tend inevitably to the
postponemcnt of gold imports and their
conversion into stcrling loans. This does
not mean that the balance owing to the
United States abroad Will be settled with
out gold imports. but that the process OF
borrowing by Europe will be repeated. The
