CONFIRMATION SERVICE.
Impressive Ceremonial at st. Thomas
P. E. Church,

st. Thomas Church, near Dupont Circle,
was the scene last evening of a very i'm
pressive ceremony, when sixty-une persons
were confirmed by the bishop of Washing
ton. The church was well filled when the
procession, consisting of the two choirs of
the church-the regular choir for Sunday
and the auxiliary choir for Lenten and
other services-the visiting clergy and the
clergy OF the church, arrived at the west
door, AS the procession passed down the
brilliantly lighted church the contrast made
by the black gowns and white capes of the
auxiliary choir and the white surplices of
the others was very striking. Adding to
the picturesqueness of the effect was the
red of the altar frontal and church hang
ings, which, with the decorations of red
flowers, gave the finishing touch of beauty
to the whole
read by the Rev. ]. A. Aspinwall former
rector, assisted by the Rev. John Cornell of
st Johns Church, Bethesda. Beside these
were present, of the clergy, Rev. Walter
Mitchell, the assistant minister of the
church; Rev. Carl s. Smith and Rev. j. G.
Ames and the Rev. C. Ernest Smith, DID,,
D. c. L., rector
The rector assisted Bishop Satterlee In
the confirmation, and presented the candi-
dates, twenty-nine men and boys, and
thlrty-two women and girls sixty one in
all, of whom twenty-five We're adults The
large proportion of men and boys was
noticeable, but as st. Thomas Sunday
school is singular in having more boys than
girls on its books this was perhaps to be
expected. The women and girls wore wells
in accordance with the custom of the
church, the younger among them being
dressed in white.
OF the sixty-oRe candidates forty were
Episcopalians by birth and training six
were Presbyterians, five Methodsts three
Roman Catholics, two Congregationalists,
two Unitarians, and one each from the
Universalists, lSltherans and Baptists.
The singing of the anthem, IF Ye Love
Me Keep My Commandments. by Wood,
was commented on very fine. In this
connection an opportunity will be given
Wednesday next to hear the choir at it's
best, as 1t will render, at pm. that day,
THE Crucifxion,> by Sir John Stainer.
Though admission is by ticket at ten min
utes to the church will be open to the
public.
Good Friday the rector will preach the
three hours service from 1913.

HAS DISCOURAGING EFFECT
FEATURES WHICH uNsETTLE
CONFIDENCE IN TRADE.
They Are Lack of Harmony Between
Labor and Capital and Condi-
lions in Wheat Market.

New York, Aug. 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Confidence in continued Improvement
of trade has been somewhat unsettled
by sensational events in the wheat
market and the lack of harmony be-
tween capital and labor. 1t is becom-
ing evident that estimates of the wheat
crop must be reduced, although other
agricultural news is much better than
usual. In so far as the purchasing
power of the farmer is concerned,
prices have risen so sharply that any
loss in quantity promises to be made
up. but this obvious fact rs not ap-
preciated by those dealers who are
making less preparation for future
trade. Some disappointment is also
felt by those who counted upon an ear
ly resumption of activity in building
operations and other industries ham
pered by labor controversies. Other
wise, news Of the week has contained
much of an encouraging nature. In
several manufacturing lines there Is
less idle machinery, and visiting retail

especially in dry goods and kindred
lines.
Failures this week numbered 226
in the United States against 23S last
year, and "a in Canada compared with
eight a year ago."
Bradsteets' says: Conservatism
rules the buying movement, which,
while gaining in force at some leading
markets, still lacks the snap shown in
former years at this time. The late
ness of the crop season for one thing,
reports of wheat and cotton crop dete-
rioration, fortified by continued wheat
price advances, and reyisions of quo
tations, notable in iron and steel and
cotton goods, breeds a feeling Of inde-
cision. Reports from the great indus
tries show little change during the
week. The feature of the iron trade
has been the open recognition of con-
ditions claimed to exist for sometime
past in finished products. A wholesale
cut in steel prices, particularly in wire
and nails, has been announced and ex-
listing pools in some products, notably
structural material and plates, are re-
ported shaky."
