THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Dec. 9.-Today's short
session of the stock exchange was an
animated one. The determined LIQUID
alton manifested in Sugar gave tone to
the market from the opening and soon
spread contagion of weakness all
through the industrial list.
Opening sale of $500 shares of Sugar
ran the price down from 146 to 1441b
compared with 1475s last night The
stock fell to 142$4 before the appearance
OF the bank statement, and the cover
ing movement by the bears which fol-
lowed the publication rallied the price
to above IA, together with the whole
market. The heavy offerings of sugar
brought out by this advance again
decided the tone of the entire list and
broke prices throughout The last
sale of sugar was at 1891, the lowest, a
net decline of 8B
American Tobacco kept the leader
close up especially in the late break
1t sold at 108, and on the next and last
sale lO4, net loss of SIS. There were
breeches at other points in the list OF
specialties, notably in Metropolitan
Street Railway, which fell an extreme
59s. Steel and Iron stocks continued
weak, put were not so vulnerable as
they have been recently, and they held
the late rally better than other special
ties.
The railroad stocks were very much
frmer than the industrials. The ex-
IRENE declines reached a point in only
few of them. The late rally brought
prices of many railroads above last
night, and net gains were saved for a
number of them. The bears had com.
menced to cover before the appearance
of the bank statement, and their buy
ing became rather more urgent after
the statement owing to the unexpected
ly small loss in cash.
The outgo to the sub-treasury alone
which is a matter of record has
amounted to nearly 5000, 10000 since the
last return, whereas the statement in.
dicates only 50, 1855, 400 loss altogether
Under the belief that the vagaries OF
the average system of computation
clouded the results in the statement
the market closed with pressure to sell
in full force again.
Bonds were easier in sympathy witt
stocks except for governments, which
rose p for the old As and S.

pares with $11O1a, this years highest

copper is four cents per pound higher

cROMWELL'S BIBLE.
The Great Protector Believed Strictly
in Literal Interpretation.

The Great Protector Believed Strictly
in Literal Interpretation.
John Morley, in the December install
ment of his series on Oliver Cromwell,
tells how the Bible of the lord protec-
tor differed from the Bible of today.
Cromwelrs Bible was not what the
Bible is today Criticism, comparative,
chronological, pathological, historical,
had not impaired its position as the
direct word of God, a single book, one
and whole, one page as inspired as an
other, one text as binding as another.
Faith In the literal construction of the
resembling a true superstition or over
belief as anything imputed to the Cath
olics. Science had set up no reign of
law; nor limited a doubt on the prOba-
bilities of miraculous intervention. No
physical theories had dimmed faith in
acts of specific creation; the aerial per
spective and vistsas of time were very
primitive Whatever happened, great or
small was due to wrath or favor from
above. They were tormented by no mis-
giving, as Ranke says, how "the secrets
of divine things could be brought into
such direct connection with the COM
plications of human affairs" The God
to whom Cromwell in heart as in speech
appealed was no stream of tendency"
no "supernaturalistic hypothesis" but
the Lord of Hosts of the Old Testament.
The saints and Puritans were the chos-
en- people. All the denunciations of the
prophets against the oppressors of Is
rael were applied to the letter against
bishops and princes And Moses and
Joshua, Gideon and Barak, Samson and
Jephthah, were the antetypes of those
who now in a Christian world thought
themselves called like those heroes of
old time, to stop the mouths of lions and
turn to flight the armies of the aliens

Boston, Dec. 9.-Liverpool cables opened
I'D. higher this morning, and wheat
opened st ady in Chicago at about last
nights closing price. Speculative trade
throughout the morning was remarkably
small, There was no selling pressure and
good buying by several large elevator
companies gave the market a strong and
healthy tone throughout.
From our Chicago wire we have the
following: Michigan official state crop
report says winter wheat suffered mate
rally in November. Good growth would
have been made but for ravages of Hes
sian fly. Late sown wheat was, in some
instances, as badly damaged as early
sown, and some fields have been plowed
up.
The stock market open with general
attack upon the industrials, and stocks
fell Immediately upon the tap of the bell
Lower and lower went the prices, and 1t
was plain to the bulls that somewhere
they had blundered, for the bears GER
tainly had the right of way. and all
around attacked the list, and ranges from
one to four points were recorded in tn
aggressive weakness caused partly 1t is
said, by the split in the directorate of the

rally in Sugar brought out such free
offerings that the stock turned down
ward again. The extreme softness of
Sugar affected Tobacco and other high
priced specialties. The evident failure
of the rally to hold brought large Of
ferings on the market again, and the
list gave way generally. Some stocks
stopped short of the previous low
point and others exceeded it, notably
Sugar, which touched 1872, and To-
bacco, which fell to 1903. The clos

changes.

WILL MEET HERE.
Baptists of the State will Come
Together in Morgantown

the Early Fall-First time they have
Been here For Fifteen ears-This
Makes Two State gatherings to be

the people here and the meeting will
come.
1t is very seldomthat two meetings
in succession are held in the same
section of the state The last one
was held in Grafton but the needs
OF the church make it all right this
time. The congregation here has
just gone into their new church and
it will do both them and the state
organization good for it to meet
here.
Several hundred visitors from will
come all sections of the state and the
meeting will bea large one. The church
is one of the most important in the
state and ranks well up toward the
head in the number of churches and
members on their rolls.
The town will be glad to have
them come and will do all that they
can to see that they have a nice time
while here. The meeting of the
Methodist conference was much en-
joyed by everyone and that of the
Baptists will not be second in inter
est.
This and the meeting of the Jr.
O. L. A, NJ are the only state meets
scheduled for Morgantown this year.
Both of these will take place in the
fall when all conditions are at their
best for the handling of such meet
ings.
The decision of the authorities in
regard to the holding of the meet
ing will be announced within few
days.

blowing for corn is practically COM
pleted, though hindered over some
localities by heavy loca, rains, or
in others by hardness OF the ground.
Corn planting has been rapidly push

is about half done. Wheat has made
good growth, the late sown inn
proving under the favorably weather
conditions Some counties report
unfavorably, due to injury from hot
weather and lack of rain
Grass, oats, and rye have made a
rapid growth, and with spring sown
clover, are in good condition. Mead

need rain.
Gardens are in good condition,

Fruit trees are blooming out
