terrain Church has been almost
torn asunder, and but for the &C.
ton of the Northern Presbyterians
in recommitting the question for
final action a year hence what is
known as one, Of the most progress
sive, vigorous young churches
would have been complete ruin.
The deception offered by the Pres
byterians in the revised Confession
of Faith was not enough, and for
tunate for the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church that it wasn't. 1t
is now evident that the old church
wants to inject the Westminster
Confession without trimmings and
absorb every vestige of the way
ward offspring. Why some of
these wiselIngs do not apply
for admission into the Presby-
terrain Church is a question with
us. In our opinion there is only
one road to organic union and that
is for each individual! member to
act for himself. If he prefers the
Presbyterian Church let him apply
for membership. The creeds are
as far apart as the antipodes. The
original Westminster Confession
has not been changed an iota not
even the dotting of an or the
crossing Of t. 1t is true that
some explanatory addenda has
been made. Why try to explain
the creed which has stood for
years without an Interpreter. The
doctrines of predestination and
election are just as distasteful to
Cumberland Presbyterians to-day
as they were years ago when the
church sprang. up on the Cum
berland River in Tennessee, and
we presume any opposition to
these doctrines would be just as
distasteful to Presbyterians.
These pioneers toiled and strug-
gled for what they thought was
right in the sight of God and now
that they have grown into hun

wants to wipe their name and re-
Iigion from the face of the earth. |
Sod forbid! These churches are
not as far apart as Pagan and
Christian or Romans and Jews.
but the difference is as wide as
Protestants could be, and the only
nope for Cumberland Presby.
'erians is that they will find it out
before it Is everlastingly too late.
The work done by our own pastor

large sum OF money was subscribed by
the citizens with which to make ex-

This means great things for the insti-

education. Prof. Babar has an estab-
lished reputation as an educator of
ability and great influence. After
leaving Huntington in 1901, he was
for two years at the head of the clas-
steal department of the Southern
Normal school at Bowling Green, KY,
for one year dean OF the Teachers Col

New York. September 2S.-The cotton market opened strong at an advance of Sd1s points in response to much higher cables, small crop estimates and ru- mors that the bull pool had made ar engagements with respect to holding spot cotton in the south.
 There was heavy realizing at the ad- vance and prices sagged off about points from the best. but later firmed up on continued covering of shorts, and fresh demand through wire and commission houses and in the middle of the morn ing was about to IA points net higher with trading still active and sentiment around the ring bullish.

London. September 23.-Americans started well but later in the week suc- cumbed to continental selling and Wall street manipulation. During the last few days, however, the efforts of the bull party started an upward movement. and prices for the week show an all-around improvement, Louisville and Nashville leading the advance with SA. Canadian Pacific was exceptionally active. After touching the record, the stock closed S higher on the week.
 The foreign section was quiet. The feat ure of interest was the persistent buying of Japanese bonds on rdnors of conver- sion scheme, and that the bonds will be dealt in on the Paris bourse.

 Money Outlook.
SMALL ADVANCES MADE

New York, September 23.-There were very heavy transactions today in num- Der of the most prominent speculative stocks on the list. This business looked like an active absorption of these is sues. That the offerings to realize were quite strictly commensurate Is sufficiently indicated by the small net changes in the prices at the end of the short session. The majority of these showed losses. That a large distribution of holdings was eff fected was the impression created. Move ment was irregular but prices advanced with some aggressiveness before the ap- pearance of the bank statement on the supposition that 1t would make a favor able showing. The closing tone. how ever, was easier. The bank statement showed decline in reserves about as large as the extreme preliminary esti- mate. The contraction in the loan item afforded the necessary relief from the de- posit liability and afforded nominal in- crease in the small surplus reserve. Large arrivals of gold in London were all se- cured in the open market for export. and this had a depressing effect on securi- ties in London. It could not be learned that any fart of this gold was taken for New York. The movement is looked on as likely to increase the probability of an advance next week in the Bank of Eng land discount rate. The heavy demands to be met by the money market next week meantime are the ground for some ap- prehension. Total sales of bonds, par value, $203O,000.
 Stocks have made headway this week against the constraininP influence of the doubtful money outlook, and some of the immediate developments in the money situation have been towards relief of the drain upon banking reserves. It Is very noticeable that the principal movements have been in stocks in which the existence

 Poor crop reports. strength of south ern markets and covering of shorts, were given as the principal causes of Liver pools advance Only about half the full advance of IS points was recorded at the opening, the complement being added as the session progressed.
 There is no wild scramble of spinners to get cotton and producers have at least some for sale We believe the crop will prove small enough to justify high prices ultimately. and those who deter mine to retain their long contracts for an extended period will reap satisfactory benefits, but for the near future scalping conditions appear most likely to obtain and purchases or sales on declines or advances. respectively should prove prof itabe.
 Stocks-The stock market today was dull and dragging one. Values, however, were well maintained. The bank state ment was not sufficiently pronounced either way to have effect upon the mar ket. Seemingly the large banking in- terests and pools yet have confidence on the bull side, but it Is well to watch carefully for signs of unloading and trim ship accordingly
 Grain-The tone of the grain market was grm and values were sustained. The news of the day was not pronounced on either side of the market.

The trading in the stock market during the short session today was more of an evening LID one than otherwise. Louisville and Nashville was very strong again to- day. and advanced to 157as. Union Pacific and St. Paul also found new high prices on this move, St. Paul selling as high as 1S4ss, while Union Pacific rallied to 134ss. The steel stocks continue to hold firm on heavy sales of pig iron at advanced prices. Metropolitan and Brooklyn, while somewhat neglected. were fraction high CT. The sales for the two hours transac- tions amounted to about 100000 shares. Union Pacific looks high enough. and we would take profit on all Union Pacific bought last week.

More credence havinng been placed In unfavorable crop accounts during the past week. the market Is higher than last Saturday by about one-half cent, De- cember closrSg at 10.75 today against 10.27 middling at 10 7-1e compared with 10 1-16. There was a relative falling off in the movement, the insight being thirty-eight less than one year ago, 08,000 versus 346- GOO and from all indications will be 100000 or more smaller than last year for the coming week, as compared with 651 900, the next week in 1904 Spinners continue to take liberally of actual cotton by draw ing heavily against the visible reserve of the world, accepting 166000 during the past seven days against 125,000 one year ago, making the total talxlngs to date 531, ,O00, compared with 364000 last season, when the total takings for the year were l2, ,4S5, 900 bales of Ameriean. Liverpool seems to be taking the situation seriously at last. General expectations were for an advance of about 10 points today to conform with the American improvement yesterday, but much to the surprise of the trade an advance of IS English points was established there. Private cables gave credit to whom credit is due. stating that the rise in values was attributed to far mers holding their cotton to American buying, and bullish crop advices from the south. Around 10.S0 for December in the local market this morning, which sold l5 points higher than last nights clos ing by December, touching 10.S4, there was a world of selling to realize on long contracts by scattered interests, but the market stood the liquidation very well, absorbing all offerings in good fashion.
