LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
UNREASONABLE WEATHER MADE
THE WEEKS VOLUME Low.
Prices, However. Were Generally
Very Satisfactory-Grain Arrivals
Show q Gratifying Increase.

Trade in the week ended Nov. Is fell below
expectations, but this was wholly due to the
unreasonable weather. which was felt more or
less in all lines. Some genuine fall weather
would be welcomed. as 1t would give more life
to trade. During the week there were but few
Irice changes. Coffee fuctuated slightly and
prices of roasted grades went of. the Arbuckles
following the Woolson company in making a
reduction. Coffee roasters throughout the West
have been buying low-grade Rios and selling
them, in bulk. below the prices Of package cof-
fee. the success of this move having been suf-
package trade, and the decline followed. 1t Is
not likely the reduction will have any immediate
effect upon higher grade bulk cofees.
The refined sugar situation Is unchanged so far
as prices are concerned. Recent declines were
due to the fact that California beet-sugar manu-
facturers, now that the regular season Is over,
are shipping thousands of tons OF beet sugar into
Eastern markets, on which ons in price
cane sugar to reduce quotations. After the ces-
sation Of the sugar demand for refined sugar,
confectioners are in the market for increased
supplies for holiday uses, but this demand Is
not great enough to Offset the pressure brought
by the arrival of so mucn beet sugar.
There is an increasing scarcity of both Irisf
and sweet potatoes, which probably Will lead &c
an advance in prices in a snort time. unless re.
prices are weak. A drop In temperature wouic
be a good thing for the commission merchant:
and increase the demand for cabbage. onions
apples and kindred fruits and vegetables. Tropt
Lemons are high in price for this season of The
year. But few oranges are on the market. Th'
week closes with a firm market for eggs, pouI
try and choice butter. In dry goods trade Wa;
draw near confectionery are quite busy, as art
dealers in fancy goods and notions.

Big WEEK in FREIGHTS
NEARLY $4,000 LOADED CARS HAN
DIED BY LOCAL RAILWAYS.
Planning to Lay Six Tracks on POr-
tions of the Pennsylvania East
General and Personal Notes.

Freight traffic continues heavy beyond
precedent. the train records showing that a
total OF 32,5OS cars, 1882 being loaded, were
handled at indianapolis in the week ended
Nov. Is. Every road handled more bust
ness than in the corresponding week of
last year. There is not one of the lines
that is able to furnish cars called for. and
the shortage in motive power is fully as
troublesome to the transportation officials
as is the car question. One traffic official
said on Saturday that there was not a
station on their several lines running out
OF indianapolis which was not calling for
cars. and he could do no better than, where
five cars were called for, to send one or
two. and TO stations where fifty cars were
wanted TO send ten. Further, he said
there Is no relief from present conditions in
sight, as freight depots and storage houses
are full of freight, and when one carload
Is taken out three seem to go in. II is very
fortunate for shippers that the weather
for some weeks past has been SO favorable
for locomotives hauling their full tonnage,
but with colder weather the conditions will
become more complicated. as 1t will be
more difficult TO get freights over the roads.
Inc car-servfce bureaus are urging con-
slgnees to unload cars promptly, and per
diem car rules are strictly enforced, which
helps matters considerably. All over the
country like conditions prevail, and there
are no cars to borrow or lease, each road
depending chiefly on It's own equipment for
its supply. The Big Four lines proper
| handled here last week 1,21O more loaded
cars than in the corresponding week OF
1901, the Vandalia 233 more, the Lake Erie
& Western 200 more, the Pennsylvania lines
but eighty-nine more, but their present
movement Is the largest ever known. The
train records show that there were received
and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week
ended Nov. Is a total of 32,50S cars, 24,932
being loaded, against 22,01 In the CORE
spending week of 1901, and against 20.295 In

To Construct More Tracks.

s. NJ. Provost, third vice president Of the
Pennsylvania, in commenting on the pres
ent congestion of business, said: There has
been a large increase in business all over
the country. The manufacturing plants
have increased their output largely, and
the business has absorbed the elasticity
that the railroads had for such an OCCASION.
A few years ago the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had about so per cent. elasticity, but
all this has been taken in. There is no
slack and there will not be much chance
to make any radical Improvement for at
least one year. We are doing all We can
to get things In shape. and in the past few
days some Roadway has been made. The
terminals are congested and there is a lack
of room all over the system"
ter the condition. Orders have been given to
the engineers to prepare plans for the en-
largfng of all terminals, and on the New
York harbor thousands of dollars will have
TO be expended. Besides this. the policy of
the company is to increase the tracks be-
tween New York and Pittsburg. For the
present the improvement is to be confined
to the New York division. and instead of a
four-track road it is to be a six-track one
at points where a large commercial busi-
ness is done. The two outside tracks are
to be used only for commercial business,
and they are to be so arranged as not to
interfere with the four inside tracks, which
are TO be called the running tracks.

of Christ. Men say. if that is so. why do
they not come to Christ? There is another
force working. 1t is a rebellion against
the spiritual instincts. but 1t does not
change the fact that there is a spiritual
force at work among the masses. The
vicious are ready for the harvest. for they
are not vicious on all sides OF their ma
lures. Some of the greatest sinners nave
become the greatest saints. 81. Augustine
was a very dissolute young man. The skep-
tic is ready for the harvest, because even
in his complacency his sol. is not at rest.
In the bosom of his family he may smile
at the thought of being troubled, but when
the great realities of eternity are brought
keenly to his mind by the death of a child
or a friend his infidelity will be no comfort
TO him. The heather are ready for the har-
vest and await us in u~ncounted millions TO
give them the salvation of God.
The conversion of the world awaits us.
This seems a long way off. but il is only as
far off as our faith makes IL. So go TO the
child, go to the ignorant, go to the worldly,
go to the vicious. go TO the savage. go 10
the skeptical and go to the heather world
with faith that the world is a harvest
awaiting the gospel sickle"

Prof. william Dennis Collins, of Earl
ham College, Lectures.

Prof. William Dennis Collins, Of Earl
ham College, spoke at the services of the
Young Mems Christian Association yester-
day afternoon. The subject of Professor
Collins's sermon was Angling" He did
not describe angling for fish nor instruct
his hearers in the best manner to bait
hooks with which to catch fish, and merely
used the title of his sermon as illustrative
of the analogy between angling for fish
and angling for men.
Professor Collins took as his text a verse
from st. Matthew: Follow me and 1 will
make you fishers of men," This should be
the chief object of all Christians, he said,
and all believers In the teachings of Christ
should make it their object to bring as
many souls to a knowledge of God as they
could prevail upon by angling for them
The kind of bait to be used to secure con-
verts TO good lives should be kindness, gen.
tleness and moral suasion. AS a fisherman
puts worms and dough on his hook to catch
the unwary fish, so the Christians should
extend to sinners promises of salvation and
forgiveness of God, Professor Collins said.
What am L on earth for?" asked Pro-
fessor Collins. why do l occupy space
On this earth? Am L here to do nothing
for my Maker? No. / I'm on earth to
obey the will of God, and His will Is that [
assist Him i'm the saving of men. 1t is my
duty and IL is every other Christians duty
TO labor for Christ. We should be anglers
IOr Souls. we SnOulQ angle Tor men and
draw them from the mire of ignorant sin
and bring them to a knowledge of Gods
goodness he said.
In speaking of the work of ordinary good
people Professor Collins said that there
are many men who simply live good lives,
follow their religious teaching and the die
tation of their conscience, but neglect the
work for which they were destined by their
Creator-the charity to their fellows which
should lead them to a teaching of the love
of Christ, which they know. Fishermen,
he said, are many and of different kinds.
Some fishermen go fishing in fine hunting
and fishing clothes, fish from canvas
canoes with bamboo rods, use the expen-
sive prepared bats and secure their fish
in well appointed buckets and fish traps
after they are caught. Other men fish for
a living and, with old clothes and no sport
ing paraphernalia, drag the fish from the
streams and lakes in seines and nets.
Small boys leave their schools and studies
TO fish for sinners in the ''crick' near
by. Professor Collins said that the fish
ers of men, should be as many and as
various. Every man and every woman.
no matter how high or low their standing
in their communities, should work for
Christ and. confident in His love and APP
probation, should bring sinners and way
ward people back TO their religious be-
liefs.
Prof. w. E. Beck had charge of the SONG
service which followed the sermon. Volney
Hun was the soloist and he sang several
hymns in a strong baritone voice.

SUBJECT OF A SERMON.
DIR. Bacon Says the World Is Ripe for
n Gospel Harvest.

In his morning sermon yesterday DR..
Bacon said in part:
The world is more nearly saved than we
think. We are all the time arguing to our
selves that this and that must be done be-
fore the world can be saved. Christ is say
ing to us. Look on the fields white for har-
vest and Thrust in the sickle. for the har-
vest is come and The harvest is plente-
ous.' This is the way He would encourage
us and would impress US with the hopeful
duties of to-day. The world of souls is al
ready ripe.
LET us notice some facts which will give
faith in the Lords words. Children are
ready TO be saved. We often wait until
they are instructed and trained until they
nave learned the Scriptures in Sunday
school work. AL children are near the
Kingdom of God. Children understand re-
ligion. They do not understand theology.
They need not know biology in order TO ad-
mire a butterfly. They do not need TO know
botany TO love flowers. The harvest of the
children Is now. Parents, do not think you
nave all knowledge. You might learn MANI
things from your children.
The masses are hungry for the religion

While, therefore. We would reserve such
a movement from the frequent stigma that

scientific thing imaginable; that our most
intellectual men should guide IL and nurse

throttled in the cradle and moral worth
of every kind must wither from the world"

A MEMORIAL SERVICE
I'm Honor Of Mrs. Harriet N. Gillett nj
Woodruff Baptist Church.

The life and church work Of Mrs. Harriet
n. Gillett were commemorated in a me-
mortal service held yesterday morning at
the Woodruff Baptist Church. Mrs. Gillett
had been a member of the church for the
last ten years, and before then and since
1855 was known to the congregations of the
North Baptist Church. the First Baptist
Church and the College-avenue Church. The
Rev. Adrian Berry, pastor of the Woodruff
Church, conducted the memorial services,
which, after prayers for the soul of the
deceased woman. consisted of eulogistic re-
marks on her virtues as a Christian woman
and church worker by Deacon Helm, Mrs.
A. NJ. Noe. Mrs. z. H. Williams and Miss
Elizabeth Charpie. In these talks were
enumerated the works of Mrs. Gillett in
the city's Baptist Sunday schools and
churches and her charitable and benevolent
qualities which earned for her the esteem
of all Of her fellow-church workers. APP
propriate memorial music had been ar
ranged. and with the assistance of the choir
H.. G. Mercer closed the services by singing
The Holy City," a favorite song OF Mrs
Gillett'S.

The Army Canteen.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
"U. l.. Sees" letter regarding the army
canteen in yesterdays Journal was quite
amusing to me, and / presume to lots OF
others. The gentleman evidently knows
nothing about army life, and in all prob
ability has never lived within a hundred
miles of an army post. his complete knowl-
edge of a soldiers life is undoubtedly what
he has seen in Indianapolis of National
Guardsmen. Had he ever spent any time
near an army post while the canteen law
was in effect and again after it's repeal he
certainly could not have written such a
letter as the one referred to. The anti-can-
teen law will be repealed, and then, and not
until then, will the present disgraceful &C.
currences among soldiers on leave cease.

In School Days.

Still sits the schoolhouse by the road.
A ragged beggar summing;
Around IL still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep Scared by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jackknife's carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on its wall:
Its doors worn sill. betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school.
Went storming out 10 playing!
Long years ago a winter sun
Shone over IL at setting:
Lit up its western window panes,
And low caves icy %fretting.
II touched the tangled golden curis,
And brown eyes full Of grieving,
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled:
His cap pulled low upon his face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he fingered
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And hefrd the tremble OF her voice.
As IL a fault confessing.
I'm sorry that spelt the word:
l hate TO go above you.
Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see. l love you!"
Still, memory 10 a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face IL showing.
Dear girl the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growingi
He lives TO learn. in lIfe's hard school.
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her-because they love him.
