Denounce Divorces.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Oct 10 The
general council of the Evangelical Lu-
theran church, in session here, after
discussing the divorce question today,
passed resolutions declaring the disso-
luton of marriage bonds "a crime
against God that cannot be mitigated
or apologized for by any defects of the
civil laws or any lowering the stand
ard prescribed in Gods word on the
part of the community around them, or
those who may be regarded leaders of
public opinion. Licenses issued by the
state cannot be a guide to the con-
science Of either pastor or applicants.
Every movement to promote a general
uniformity of legislation in our various
governments is worthy of hearty en-
couragement, in the interests of sound
morality, or that ultimately the nre-
scriptions concerning marriage and di-
Vorce may be the same in all the states
and territories of the United States"

poliS-Wheat closed the day
rStrerger and higher. December at 1890
and May at 1870. Strength ruled through
theLSesSion. The cash market was strong
and active and other markets besides
Minneapolis had good cash demand for
wheat There was the government report
to come out Saturday afternoon, the war
scare in the wind, the light receipts and
the forecast for warmer weather and
probable showers Saturday night to keep
the bears quiet, and not much pressure
was on at any time. There is a bull mar
ket on unless all signs fail. There are
other facSors which may turn the market
down, and the traders committed to the
1bufF Side were inclined to go slow in view
of the unusual degree of uncertainty at
the close of the week. But unless the
foreign figures and foreign reports are
SbeaTish on Monday, advances are likely
for here all is strength, and could the To-
zeal situation alone control, prices would
already be higher. The market has suf-
fered depression of late on the foreign
outlook, and justly SO. for with Russia

and the new crop in Argentina doing
nicely. it has been impossible to get Liv-
.erpeol in line, and without some response
from Liverpool it Is usually pretty hard
to bull wheat. Now the trade has gath
cred the idea that the figures from this
time on will be less depressing and that
the foreign markets will turn frmer as
soon as shipments from other countries
falR off. and 1t has been assumed that

WALL STREET APATHETIG
PARTY OF REACTION CENTERs
ITS ATTACKS UPON STEEL
Professionals Sell Short-Amalgamated
Copper Ceases Dropping and Scores
Good Misunderstanding Is Wholly
Professional and Independent of
News.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-Demand for
stocks was apathetic today and left the
market vulnerable to very light selling.
Some of this was palpably profession
al short selling and there seemed to
be professional contest in the late
dealings. The party of reaction cen
tered it's attack on United States
Steel preferred, forcing it down 2B
to SO. This stock sold at 5S% last
month, but otherwise never sold be-
fore as low as todays prices.
The party favoring support in the
market seemed most active in Amalga-
mated Copper. The stock resisted the
general depression and was marked
up at one time IL over last night!
There was some systematic buying
also of Chicago & Alton. The contest
was wholly professional and not based
on any news so far as known. Lon
don helped the depression here some
what and sold stocks moderately.
Fears are entertained there that next
weeks stock exchange settlement may
uncover some embarrassment. The
tone of the weekly trade reviews was
somewhat conservative and reflected
the state of doubt which has been
caused by the reduction in United
States Steel dividends and the decline
in profits in the iron and steel indus
tries.

Bank Statement Eneouraqinq.

The reports of weekly bank clear
1ngs show sharp contractions as a
whole compared with the correspond
ing week Of last year. But in the an
alysis it is found that the decrease is
wholly due to shrinkage in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, the four
other leading cities showing consider
able Increases and the average for all
other cities a small increase The
market seemed encouraged by the
bank statement, and rallied momenta-
rily. The increase in cash was consid-
erably larger than expected, but the
statement is SO much complicated by
the merger operations of the National
Bank of Commerce and the Western
National as to throw it out of balance.
1t is inferred from the small loan
change that commercial borrowing has
kept pretty steady pace with the
liquidation in the stock market The
market closed easy and quite active.
The bond market has reflected the
growing ease in the money market in
some revival of investment demand for a
good grade of railroad bonds. o. S. Is 3s
and old as declined u per cent each from
the closing bid last week.
