Simple Life" great church in Paris

Morton. several men of wealth and in
fiuence in this country will cooperate with
Pastor Wagner's followers in Paris in
raising funds. Robert C. Ogden. who gave
the dinner at the Union League Club last
night in honor of Mr.. Wagner. yesterday
gave all the credit for formulation of the
idea to John Wanamaker.
1T will probably take 100000 to erect a
church suited to Pastor Wagner's needs, -
said Mr.. Ogden. Nobody believes that it
will be hard matter to raise that sum-
Mr.. Wanamaker has assurances from Levi
p. Morton. whose family recently were
members of the Wagner congregation, that
he will contribute to the fund and work to
secure money from others. This Is strong
backing. and especially assures success at
this early date.

 NEW YORK, August e9.-we have had a The bull clique bought heavily at the open ing and after successfully pushing prices up to catch stop orders. they unloaded at the advance. which caused a reaction. Left to itself the market reacted and was helped downward by the same element which had previously assisted in the advance. the ob 5ect to gets back on the long side at the lowest price possible. Latest news from Texas tells of severe damage from hot winds In addition to that aready reported from weevils and worms. For four days past temperatures all over. 100 have prevailed at many points in that state, and there is no room to doubt the reliability of the re- ports of damage now coming in In other sections there is not much fault to find. The Journal of Commerce reports of this morning. covering Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, could not be considered as un- favorable. although there was considerable complaint of deterioration of the kind ex- pected at this time of the year. The fact that outside of today's crop accounts are really not so bad. leads us to belle -. hat tomorrows weekly weather report may not be as bullish as feared. For that reason it might be advisable to take long profits before the report Is read out at noon. It Is probable. however. that if any decline fol- lows the report it will only be temporary as p. m. on Friday is likely to cause more GOV erins by shorts and rally from any de- pression. Receipts at Houston and Calves, ton are quite large today. but 1t is the samo old story. none of it for Gle. It would seer, reasonable to conclude that until the interi, . begins to offer freely the bulls will have the better of the situation.
