soon carried prices down until they were

The large movement. as represented by
the weeks into-sight figures, estimated
at from 2S7, 600 to $4,000 bales, compared
with only $4,000 bales for the same week
last year, doubtless had much to do with
the decline, which traders were other
wise not able to account for fully, though
New York was said to be selling heavily
in this market. The trend of prices con-
tnued downward to the close, the list
then showing net losses of from 10 to Is

| dained, Wednesday, April 5, into the
Christian ministry at the Congrega-
tional church, was born in Taunton
Mass, March %, 1878, and was educat-
ed in the public schools of that city,
graduating from Taunton High school
| in June, 1886, and from North Hamp-
| ton Literary Institute in 1899. In 1900
he entered Bates College, where he at
| tended one year. July /, 1901, he was
| married to Miss Elva ]. Marshall of

his work as pastor of the COngrega-
tional church of Winthrop.

three years member of the Varsity

He is very popular with old and

good wishes of hosts of sincere friends
will follow him in whatever field he
may choose to labor. AS preacher,
none of his friends have any doubt of

his own teachings.
He is a most interesting speaker. has
particularly good delivery, and is
possessed of a fine voice, all of which
