NEW YORK, March 13-Calvary Epis-
copal church is about to undertake a
novel experiment by the establishment of

etc. Ihe purpose of the proposed parish
store is to have on hand and sell at rea-

1t has been the custom of Calvary par-
ish to permit it's poor parishioners to pur-
chase at cost price certain articles from
Its stock of CLOTH provided for the regular
work of the various organizations. The
demand for those articles Increased tn
such an extent that the idea Of keeping
large supply on hand was suggested
and naturally led to the scheme of estab.

sales Will be made on the installment
plan, and to no worthy person will credit
be refused. A reasonable price will be
charged in order that the work NAV he

1ar below those asked in ordinary stores
which do business on the installment

NEW YORK, March 13-The market
generally worked fractionally lower to-
day for the railway list with most activ-
tty in the specialties, which on the whole
were well supported. Tobacco was a
feature with rise of points net. Amer
lean Steel and Wire and the iron and
steel shares generally were conspicuous
ly strong In the forenoon, but later lost
ground. American Steel and Wire pre-
ferred went up 2 points in anticipation
of dividend, which subsequently de-
Veloped and the stock eased off on real
1zation. Metropolitan Street Railway
showed alternate strength and weakness,
while Third Avenue was decidedly fever
fsh, and they ended with a loss of 11@
each.
Talk of rate-cutting among the local
gas companies brought liquidation in
Consolidated Gas, which ended with a
loss of 3 points. Among the usually in
active stocks there was jump of 5
points in Flint & Pere Marquette, while
Great Northern preferred rose 61a, half
of which it subsequently lost Strength
appeared among all the Southwestern
railways, and Southern railroad preferred
got up points, losing half of it.
There was comparatively little doing
wanna and the Reading seconds were
materially higher, while the rest were
fractionally up. The general railway
list was irregular and with the rest of
the market eased on the bidding up of
call money to per cent in the last hour
The rate for call money, however eased
off and closed 219@3 per cent, but the
market closed weak

CHICAGO, March Is. - Reports of
drought in India today, together with DO
mestic crop damage claims, had bullish
effect on wheat. May closed &c hlgher,
corn gained NC and oats ss@32c Pork ie1t
off 2:Ac higher; lard unchanged, and ribs
2i9c lower.
Early news connected with wheat taken
altogether was encouraging to the bulls,
and at the start the market recovered
somewhat from the extreme deSpondencE
it experienced Saturday. The better feel
Ing was impaired by stronger foreign
markets and the smaller worlds SNIP
1ueuts last week. The exports from this
country comprised about 65 per cent of
the total while Russia and the Danub' an
countries furnished only about Is per
cent. May opened at 69l2c up to 69Ss1tsAc,
but the demand at the Improvement was
not urgent. Scattered selling by commits
sion houses forced the price off to 693sc
At that point however, the selling pres
sure slackened and an upward tendency
set in.
Chicago received IS cars, of which only
three graded contract Minneapolis and
Duluth got 557 carloads, compared with
444 for the same day last year. Primary
Western market receipts all told amount
ed to S6S, 600, against $4,000 a year ago.
The domestic visible supply increased
800, 900; last year it decreased 597, 600. Clear
ances of wheat and flour from Atlantic
ports equaled POI 600 bu.
The principal feature of the days news
was crop damage. Reports came from all
directions, and made much more positive
claims of winter killing than previous adj
vices. Near the close the reported dam
age to the Indian wheat crop by drought
and the steadiness of European markets
caused this market to rule firm to the end.
From 692sc for May, the price gradually
rose TO 701sc, when a slight reaction set
in on profit taking, and May closed at
697sQ70c.
Corn gained a little in sympathy with
wheat, and also owing to the receipts of
quite few buying orders from the coun-
try. One of the heaviest local shorts was
the principal buyer Liquidation of long
corn seemed to have run its course. Re
ceipts, 1855 cars. May opened A03sc. up
at S5Q3514c, eased off to 347sc then rallied
to $3.50 and closed at 351sc sellers.
Oats were firm in sympathy with the
other grains. There was a good scattered
demand for May. but July was more or
less neglected. The cash demand from the
East was good, but holders here were not
inclined to sell at current prices Receipts,
go cars May began A@2sc up at 1850,
sold sparingly at 26Ac rallied to $3.50
2es4c, then reacted to and closed at 2615c.
Provisions ruled steady with packers
moderate buyers against cash sales May
pork opened a shade lower at 500 weak
ened to S9.0712. advanced to $9.171b, then re-
acted TO $9.1212d9.15, the closing price
