promises to be one of great interest.
So far rs is known, there will be no at
tempt this year to change the Cnurci'
law in any material respect. Tho on!y
question scheduled to come up under inns
head is that Of ecclesiastical commls :
sons employing a change in the method
OF trying preachers for heresy or other
carses. This matter will probably be laid
over for another year. There is also some
talk of getting the Assembly to meet
every three years instead of annually, as
at present. but this proposition. If made,
will probably be turned down.
The matter of greatest interest locally
thus far is the appointment Of two secrc-
taries, one to assist Dr. S. H. Chester in
the foreign mission work, and another to
look after the affairs Of the Committee
on Ministerial Relief. The secretary in
the latter case will be located in this
city.
Most Of the reports which will be sub
mtted to the Assembly will be of a very
satisfactory character. The Committee
on Foreign Missions. the Committee on
Home Missions, the Committee on Publ
cation, and the Committee on Ministerial
Relief have all had a good year.
The commissioners from Virginia to the
Assembly are as follows:

Southern Baptist Convention.

The Southern Baptist Convention will

though this is the forty-seyenth session,
1t has been fifty-seven years since the
body was organized. In the early his

biennial and during the Civil War for
several Years no meeting was held.

be of special interest this year. The Con-

the matter Of the publishing claims
and will elect two new bishops; the AS
1embly will elect. two new secretaries.

Preliminary arrangements for the three

popular and attractive points and will
have no little influence in making the ses-
6ions pleasant.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct 24.-Some relief was
shown to-day at the greater ease of
call money and foreign exchange rates.
but there was no demand for stocks,
and the list was irregular and dull
throughout. For reasons that are not
altogether clear, the substantial finan-
cial interests continue to hold aloof
and even the pool manipulators remain
inactive.
1t is true that conditions such as pre-
vailed during the week are not unusual
at the approach of an election, but
traders and shreWd observers generally
say that this does not altogether ac-
count for the absolute lack of public
buying. The rise in the price of Goa,
and the further rumors of labor trou-
bles in various parts of the country
were among the few developments of
the day. The strong features at the
opening were Lackawanna, Reading
common and second preferred, Balti-
more and Ohio. and Toledo. st. Louis
and Western issues. Operations in the
last named stocks We're again believed
to be largely manipulative, and Balti-
more and Ohio soon lost it's initial
gain. Firmness was shown in such is
sues as Atchison, Union Pacific, ST.
Paul, Missouri Pacific and Colorado
Fuel and Iron. The latter was strong
er on reports of buying by interests
opposed to those now in control. An
early sale of st. Joseph and Grand ISL
and second preferred was made at a
decline of over per cent. and later
further loss was recorded. The liqui-
dalton in Baltimore and Ohio rights
for cash were presumably due to the
fact that the option on the rights ex-
pired to-day.
Trading was very light all through
the morning session and fluctuations
were narrow. Speculation was limited
almost entirely to the specialties the
early movements in Colorado Fuel and
Iron and Toledo. st. Louis and West
ern issues being continued. Colorado
Fuel was the real feature, transactions
in that stock aggregating more than
one-fifth of the total business with a
net advance of Az points. Favorable
reports concerning the coal stocks and
the steel and iron issues were heard.
but they failed to induce any demand
The afternoon session brought no de-
velopments, and such trading as was
reported came from out of town. Lon
don dealt in about $4,000 shares, of
which tWo-thirdS were sales Virtually

close of the day fell to per cent, the
lowest figure reported in some time.
Demand sterling worked down to
4S6.40, and the great part of the days
business was on the selling side. The

make very favorable showing. Rail-
road bonds were sluggish, but steadier

Murphy a. Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 24-Outside of little
firmness early on wet weather in the
Northwest the wheat market ruled
weak to-day. General news was bear
ish. The last half of the session. the
market ruled half to three-fourths un'
der yesterday and closed with a par
tial recovery.
There has been a rather quiet corn
market. Early prices were strong,
but eased off later. There was some
indication of selling of long corn py
some large commission houses. Gables

small and the demand for East slow.
Oats have been quiet and lower Win

Murphy a Co.'s stock Letter.

New York. Oct 24.-The market to-
day was as dull as on any day of the
former dull summers. No significance
could be attached to the fluctuations.
The only movement of interest was in
Colorado Fuel and Iron, which, on
buying said to be competitive, advanc-
ed per cent. The general tone of iron
and steel stocks was fairly satisfac-
tory. Sugar showed firmness. Amer
lean Cotton Oil rose 8 per cent. on re-
vival of predictions that the next div
idend would be increased. Virginia.
Carolina Chemical rose sharply in SYM
pathy on account of the close relations
between the two corporations. Hide
and Leather issues continued strong.
There was sharp advance in Amalga-
mated Copper. Pressed Steer Car rose
nearly / per cent. In fact the great
est strength was exhibited by the in
dustrial department of the Stock Ex-
change. In the railroad list st. Jo-
seph, Grand Island stocks broke sharp
ly on sale by minority holders discour-
aged by the mystery surrounding the
recent change in control. Clover Leaf
stocks rose sharply in the face of dis
Chalmers as to any pending deal. There
was some tendency to recover in Bal
timore, Southern Pacific and Canadian
Pacific. AS regards news the princi-
pal influences were, on the one side,
the increasing friction between the in
dependent coaA operators and
their striking employees, who
want to return, and on the
other hand. the sharp decline
in call money. All forecasts of bank
statements are favorable and sterling
continues weak. The market closed
intensely dull with the tone steady on
the expectation of favorable monetary
developments in the near future. The
business was so small, however, that
little significance was attached to last
quotations. Total sales stocks, $685.
