ANXIOUS To PLANT FAITH.
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions
May Build Church at Birmingham.

The Associate Reformed Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions, which is very
DESTROYS to plant church of its faith at
Birmingham, Ala. has declared its unani-
nous Judgment to be that the Rev. oliver
Johnson, now in the old established
charge at Leslie, s G., of which he has
been pastor since 1894, and which is the
second largest church in the "Seceder'
denomination, be asked to go to Birming
ham and undertake the work of organizing
ana building up new church at that
place.
Mr.. Johnson has not yet decided con-
corning the request made by the board,
but he has agreed to spend few weeks
at Birmingham. The "Seceders," who are
quite earnest and aggressive in their
church work, are among the best church
builders in the South. In various of the
little Southern towns they have taken
$4,000 to $4,000 and put up buildings
that. in their way, are gems of church
architecture.

FURNITURE OF AYRES
ROOM SOLD At AUCTION
All Disposed of to a Second
Hand Dealer.
Little Opposition to the Bids of H. Say
man-Crowds View the Effects,
But Do Not Compete.

The salesrooms of Auctioneer Radcliffe
were crowded yesterday from early morn
ing until the time of the sale. when the
furnishings OF the room in which James
Seymour Ayres, jr., met his death at the
Kenmore Hotel, on the morning of May
10 last, were knocked down to H. Sayman,
a second hand dealer on Ninth Street,
with hardly an opposing bid.
The articles all brought all that they
were worth, it was thought. but many
ladies who seemed to take a great inter
est in the sale refrained from bidding.
A Single Opposing Bidder.
Only once, when the rocking chair
which still has the stains of the unfor-
trnate young mans blood upon it was
put up. timid little woman entered a
bid of 81. and then, shocked at what she
had done and the attention that she had
called to herself, withdrew into the crowd
and permitted the coveted article to be
sold for an advance OF cents.
During the morning probably 500 people
had called to see the articles, which, by
direction of Mr.. W. w. Warfeld, who for
merly kept the Kenmore Hotel, were to
be sold. but few remained to witness the
sale

New York, June 25-The dealings in
stocks fell to near the low level OF ac-
tivity Of the year again today. The
movement CT prices was narrow and ir-
regular. For the principal active stocks
there was good support and the under
o OF the market was rather firm, but
there was no disposition to buy in view
OF the uncertainties hanging over the
market. There was a fairly general
upward movement in the early dealings,
which probably came from the bear
traders who sold short last evening on
the apprehension that King Edwards
Illness might terminate fatally over
night There was buying here for
London ccoun prompted by the same
technical cause, which served 10 bring
to a halt the advance in sterling ex-
change.
The local money market was also dis
tinctly firmer in tone n encouraged
bankers TO sell some sterling loan bills.
Notwithstanding a further recession in
the price Of sterling at Paris there was
no engagement of gold for export.
There was nothing in the news from
London as il reached Wall street to ac-
count for n strenth in the stock mar
ket as the general fear was that the
illness Of the king of England would
terminate fatally But the sentimental
effect Of yesterdays sudden announce
ment was somewhat d~issipated. New
erthelesS there is something to be APP
pretended from the direct
losses involved in the abortive prepara-
ions for the coronation. Another con-
is that there has been q con-
siderable speculation upon the hope OF
a revival to be induced by the South
African peace The weaker spectators
have been forced out since the declara-
ton of peace but there is an
class of stronger holders which has
vival was merely postponed until after
the kings coronation. This speculation
has involved not only London but the
continental financial centres. If the
misfortune of the king of England
serves to obstruct the influence of the
South African settlement apo finan-
cial affairs the effect will be reflected
in the stock markets.
There was nothing in the news of he
day to account for a rise in prices OF
stocks. The crop news was rather neu-
trail. Traders who bought Reading
professed some confidence that
the strike was breaking up and they
had news of some further returns to
work by strikers, but there was nothing
like a general demand for the coalerS.
A late advance in st. Paul made the
closing steady but very dull.
