CATHOLIC GROWTH IN NORTH DAKOTA.

In the course of an address at the blessing of the
cornerstone of the new church at Mandan, n D.,
of which Dean Collins Is pastor, Bishop Stanley
quoted some figures showing remarkable Catholic
growth.
Today" said the bishop, there are in North
Dakota 80 Catholic churches in actual use. These
churches are, with very few exceptions very beauti
FIJI buildings. Without exception they are too small
for the congregations that worship in them. These
150 churches are supplemented by about seventy
out stations that are visited by the priests at regu
Jar intervals once-a month or twice a month The
number of priests IN this state at present is about
eighty and before this year closes the number will
have been increased by about dozen more. l ven

years have passed the number of Catholic priests

eight new churches together with some institutions

taken by a snowstom and lost their way. After
wandering around the summit for several hours
they came across one of the new shelters built by the
monks. In it they found bread, cheese, wine,
spirit lamp and telephone. With the latter they
called up the hospiee and asked for help. BY the
time they had finished a good meal a monk and

According 10 religious statistics regarding the
city of London, we learn that the city of London

its quota of well paid ministers. And the average
Sunday attendance is about 213 for all of them.
London has about 100000 inhabitants, and the

NEW YORK. April 21.-The minds of
spectators seemed to be still befogged to-
day over the vista of new developments in
the Northern Securities contest. and the
consequences were that for the most part
they refrained from operating.
I he stock market was almost entirely one
of speoialties, and the peculiar grounds on
which this class OF securities usually moves
are not always manifest. The market
started upward. led by Union Pacific, which
seemed TO be helped by the granting of a
temporary injunction by a New Jersey
court against the carrying into effect OF the
plan of distribution of Northern Securities
assets.
The majority vote by the Northern Sc
curities stockholders in favor OF the plan
seemed to check the advance in Union Pa
cific. but il held its firm tone on the ground
that the delay in the execution of the plan
OF distribution will be time available for
negotiation and Tor arriving at possible
settlement, which would definitely remove
this veXed problem t. ON it's disturbing posi-
ton in the market
Owing to the firmness of Union Pacific
and the recovery of United States Steel
preferred the sympathy influences were
semi-stagnant market. The influence on
United states Steel preferred, which re-
celNed Sne most recognition, was the agree
ment amongst ore producers 10 reduce
prices and to seek further to come to an
agreement to limit output.
AS there was some selling of the Steels
yesterday in the fear that the ore agree
ment would be disrupted and an open mar
ket established, there was some covering
by shorts to-day, although the decision TO
reduce the price of ore is understood to be
opposed to the contention of the United
States Steel Corporation.
The coalers were the subject of a demon
stration which carried them 10 hlgher
level. the high priced members of the group
notably so. Any marked demand for these
closely-held securities with the compare
lively small floating supply, makes strlk-
ing effect prices. To-day's demand was
said to be Que to the very active demand
for anthracite which has followed the
spring reduction in prices. There was some
talk of crop damage from the cold wave,
but the rise in temperature to-day was ac-
cepted as a promise of better things.
Hopes are especially INDUCED of the ef-
feet upon retail and dstributive trade or
the advent of settled and seasonable wealth

For the day of a dividend declaration,
Anna gamated Copper was unprecedentedly
dull and sluggish. The stock lost "a point
on the day, with the maintenance or the
existing dividend rate.
