JOrdOn FOunt Dedicated.

Jordan fount, which was recently in
stalled in the baptistry Of St. Adams
Church, on the site Of the proposed Epis
copal Cathedral of st. Peter and St. Paul,
on Wisconsin avenue, was consecrated
last Thursday afternoon in the presence
of several hundred persons, many of whom
drove out from the city in carriages. One
candidate was immersed in the fount
last Thul sday. An infant also was bap-
tised.
AS the cars brought the congregation
from the city, the people were received
by a committee and conducted to camp
chairs arranged around the Peace Cross,
| which President Mckinley dedicated.
About $40 o'clock the clergy, choir boys,
and detachment of the Marine Band
formed in the church and marched to a
stand in front of the Peace Cross. Here
was held peoples open air evensong."
Dr. Harding was in charge of the choir
and the band, and Rev. George c. F..
Bratenahl, rector of the cathedral, con-
Quoted the exercises, which consisted of
song and prayer and brief address by
Bishop Williams, of Michigan.
This service over, the procession form
ed again and marched to the baptistry,
where the conservation services over
Jordan fount were held The fount is a
beautiful work in marble, and was bought
with the contributions from children
whom Bishop Satterlee has confirmed.
Bishop Satterlee blessed the fount after
the clergy and the choir had marched
around it. The bishop then christened
little Virginia Washington Lomas, infant
of Mr.. and Mrs Harold C. Tomas. Follow
ing this was the immersion of Arthur b.
Smith, who is seventeen years old, who
first person to be immersed in an Episco-
pal Church in the United States. Mr..
Smith is the son of Mr. and Mrs. VIM. R.
Smith, of this cou ty.
Again the procession formed and NOV
ed to the little sanctury on the other side
of the grounds Here Bishop Satterlee
confirmed Mr. Smith, who had just been
baptised, and three young ladies, who
were presented by Chaplain Pierce, of
Fort Myer. Then the procession moved
back to the cathedral and dispersed.
About thirty members of the Church
mans League and St. Andrews Brother
hood acted as ushers and ate nded to the
details of the service.

Crop Report.

The Weather Bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
The week, especially the latter part
was much too cool in all districts east of
the Rocky mountains and respecting TEN
perature was less favorable than the pre-
ceding week. Light to heavy frosts oc-
Cured over the northern portion of the
central valleys and Middle Atlantic states
and in the Lake region with more or less
injury. Light local rains afforded relief
over limited areas in the South Atlantic
and East Gulf states, but the greater
part of these districts continues to need
rain, and in some sections drought is
severe. The week was also TOO cool on
the North Pacific coast, but there was
ample heat in California.
While corn planting has been delayed
in portions of Nebraska, Iowa and Mis-
souri,, this work, as whole, has made
favorable progress in the states of the
Missouri and Upper Mississippi valleys,
and has proceeded uninterruptedly in the
Ohio valley. Planting is in progress in
the Dakotas. Minnesota, Michigan and
New England, but has not begun iii Wis
consin and New York. In Texas the crop
is in fine condition and we'll cultivated,
and is tasseling in the southern part OF
that state. In the South Atlantic and
the Central and East Gulf states corn is
generally backward and making slow
growth, the stands being unsatisfactory
In Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri the
advancement of winter wheat has been
favorable, and an improvement is gener-
ally reported elsewhere east of the Rocky
mountains, but the condition of the crop
in the states of the Ohio valley continues
very poor. Wheat is now h eading as far
as Missouri, and harvest has begun in
Southern Texas. On the North Pacific
coast the bulk of the crop is in promising
condition, and while fair crop is indi-
Gated in California the outlook in that
state is not as good as earlier in the sea-
son.
Heavy rains prevented the completion
of spring wheat seeding in portions of
North Dakota and Northern Minnesota,
but seeding is practically completed else
where. The early sown is coming up and
growing nicely in the Dakotas and South
ern Minnesota, but variable conditions
are reported from Iowa. In Washington
the crop has suffered from cold, but the
outlook in Oregon is more favorable.
With the exception of variable condi-
tons in Iowa, unpromising conditions in
Missouri, the general outlook for oats
in the principal oat producing states is
promising. In the South Atlantic and
East Gulf states the crop is generally poor.
Harvesting has begun in the Southern
states, while seeding is unfinished in the
northern portion of the Middle Atlantic
states and the Red river of the North
valley.
In Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Virginia tobacco plants are backward,
but they are doing we'll in Maryland
Kentucky and Tennessee. Transplanting
has begun in the two last named states
and is general in North Carolina.
The fruit outlook is generally promis-
ing except for peaches in the more north
erly sections. In the Southern states
however, good crop Of peaches is prom
ising.

Want Money for Cheltenh:,m.

General Thomas ]. Shryock, president,
and Mr.. Joseph J. Jannery, secretary of
the board of managers of the Chelten-
ham House of Reformation for Colored
Boys, were at the City Hall Thursday
last in an effort to secure the $15, 900 ap-
propriated in the ordinance : estimates
for the relief of destitute and neglected
colored children.
Mayor McLane and Comptroller Heff-
ner expressed their intarest in the mat
ter, but suggested that an ordinance was
necessary to secure the full amount. I'm
der the opinion of the City Solicitor the
city can only pay per capita rate of $50
year for each boy committed to the
institution from the city. This would in
volve only about $1,000, and to obtain the
remainder of the appropriation additional
legislation is required.

valley; then. too. it's about time we had howl on boil weevil
 The Texas crop Is a little earlier than last year 90 early in August we can expect wait from Texas. It may not be as bad this year as last, for the south Is very short of cotton and the folk there may keep things dark for a while.
 Don't be misled on the weevil question. You can bet 10 to 1 that more cotton will be destroyed than last year for the crop is so much bigger. While the damage Is being done 1t will be hard to put prices down.
 In fact. the action of the market leads one to believe this short interest Is now about all that the market can stand.
 We don't care to be on that side at the moment. There is too much company. On a break don't be afraid of cotton.
 The damage has yet to come. August may be trying month. Don't be short when the crop can't improve much and can run off Ike shot.
 Wheat-There was selling early on large receipts in the northwest and southwest, but consols were lower and Liverpool displayed strength enough to encourage buying on the part of local traders with shorts covering, although outside buying orders were scarce ihe visible showed a larger decrease than expected, but the most important feature
  the French.
 The advance of cents in Budapest since last Wednesday was bullishly re- garded, and the impression prevailed that European buying orders will appear In this market within very short period We still regard wheat as in strong po- sition and favor purchases of the futures on all dips.
 Corn-The movement little larger but we hear feeders are large buyers in the west. and we hardly think receipts here will be more than moderate. Trade light but July and September more or less congested, with prospect of prices work ing higher
 Oats--Changed very little, and although there were twelve cars new oats with talk of larger receipts there were orders here to buy futures on French account The close was strong September heavily oversold, and we favor purchases of that future on all soft spots
 Provisions-Hogs were in light supply and 10 to 15 higher. The strike situation grows worse, and from what we learn the packers will not give in. The market was very dull, with prices declining and the trade greatly depressed.
 Stocks--The stock market today was very dull and entirely along trading lines with scalps the only thing to get
 The factors are strong both for and against an advance. Which VIII triumph The chances favor bearish ammunition for a time and technical conditions also point to a reaction, but the reactionist party may get too large and over do itself
 We do Aot see why good stocks should not be bought on all reactions of conse- quence and on a scale down provided the standard issues are carefully selected and moderation is employed. In the mean time trade both sides for small returns.

RING VAS ACTIVE
 AT THE OPENING Sentiment Seemed to Have a Bearish Leaning IRREGULAR MOST OF DAY Market Finally Closed Steady at About she Lowest of the Session, a
 Net beclne of to fl
 Points.
 
IRREGULAR MOST OF DAY

New York, July 25.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of ? points to a decline of points. The opening advance which was on the nearer posi- tions was in response to higher Liverpool cables than expected, while the later months were depressed owing to the ab- sence of confirmation of the crop dam age reports which were circulating late Saturday as result of heavy rains In the central belt.
 The ring was fairly active at the start, and sentiment seemed to have a bearish leaning owing to the favaroble charac- ter of the early map and reports of the strike at Fall River, and bearish private advices from the Liverpool market where prices after the local opening showed an easier tendency. After the first wave of liquidation following the call, which forced the market down to a net loss of about 3 to Il points, trading became quiet and prices recovered slightly. Dur ing the balance of the session they ruled irregular, but on every little bulge there was selling by prominent floor brokers, and the market was finally steady. at about the lowest of the session of net decline of 5 to II points,
 Sales were estimated at 10000 bales Private advices from Charlotte N. C., stated that the first new bale was expect ed in that section about August 10. Ad- vices from New Orleans expressed the opinion that the rains reported, would probably delay the movement somewhat.
 Port receipts for the day were full as compared with last year, but exports were light The strike at Fall River is expected to curtai the end season de- mand to some extent. The mills affected by the strike are said to have been using about 2O0O bales per week just prior to the shut down.
