UNION SERVICES.

Sunday night concluded the Union
services which the various churches
Of this city have held during the sum-
mer. Rev, ]. G. Given preached the
closing sermon, it being the last ser
mon that he will preach in this city,
he having concluded four years Of
pastorate Of the Methodist church.
This is rs long as the Methodist con-
ference allows a preacher to serve one
congregation.
Services began at eight O'Clock, but
half an hour before that time the
Methodist church was packed and the
people continued pouring in. The
aisles and all vacant places we're
filed with chairs, yet many had to
go away because they could not get
In. Elder r. B. Briney conducted
Che services. A choir of twelve
4oung men led the singing, with Prof.
Stark at the organ. The heavy male
voices filed the house with melody,
and was, at first quite a novelty, no
female voices being heard. This
choir is composed of Woodmen.
The opening prayer was by DR..
Hyde, the second prayer by Elder
Briney, aud Scripture reading by DR..
Riggs. Mr.. Given took for his text
the words: "My peace l leave with
YOU, (" and for half an hour he spoke
~eloquently and feelingly of the peace
known only to the follower of Christ.
He is an earnest and interesting
speaker at all times, but the circum-
Instances of the occasion made his
words appear more eloquent than
usual, and they certainly were more
impressive, as every n present felt
that they were about to lose a person
al friend.
At the close Of the sermon and a
song by the choir, Elder Briney an
nounced that DR.. Gordon, Of the Pres
byterian church had something to
say. DR.. Gordon reviewed the last
four years Of work by Mr.. Given, and,
almost every sentence contained a
we'll deserved compliment. These
compliments were not lavishly be-
slowed, but the speaker led the
audience to consider some well known
characteristic or some particular work
of Rev. Given, and then the compli-
ment fitted like a glove. Many per.
sons in the audience were moved tt
tears.
Elder Briney also spoke in a very
complimentary manner of the WORK
of Mr.. Given, and especially Of the
good feeling that been begotter
among the preachers and the congre
cations by the series of unioI
meetings.
Rev. Buchmueller made a shor
NSpeech, very complimentary to Mr
Given, and announced that he, too
had just severed his church relations
and would soon be transferred Il
some other work. After serving th
church here for ten years he felt
great reluctance in breaking tn
pleasant ties that bound him to on
people.
A song by the chorus, a ~benedlctiol
by President Smith, of G. f. c., an
the meeting was closed. The aud
ence all wanted to 90 forward an
shake hands with Mr.. Given and MI

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Sept. 16.-The same influ-
ences that have dominated the stock
market for some time past were again
in control to-day. The crop situation
continued to be the paramount issue.
and out of the mass of sensational fu-
mors and reports recently circulated,
it is at last clear that serious harm has
been wrought to crops in certain Sec
tons of the northwest.
From Georgia and Alabama came
reports to-day of damage to cotton by
high winds and heavy rainfalls. Trad
ing during the early session was note
worthy, chiefly for a renewal of yes

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and firm and

bales. The receipts were 5.219 bales,
against 1878 last year. The ports got
$4,000, against $4,000 last year. The de-
mand was not active, and the main de-
sire of exporters seemed to be to get
the cotton already bought by them.
In the f. O. b. market the demand was
moderate, and the offerings from the

Then the weather news which had
not been so bad early, began to grow

lied sharply. Heavy rains We're re-
ported throughout the central belt
and low temperatures were recorded
in the northern portions of the west

little better conditions for the imme-

as to the effect of the adverse weather
was considerably mixed. 1t was said
that the rains were needed in the CEN

was heavier than bargained for and
it was argued that picking and the
movement would be delayed. Definite
