PLANS APPROVED.
Preliminary Design for the New
Episcopal Cathedral.

At a recent meeting Of the architects and
the Washington Cathedral OF st. Peter and
ST. Paul trustees the views and wishes Of
Bishop Satterlee and the trustees were
made known and fully discussed. The pre-
liminary plans for the erection of the cathe-
dral on the grounds of the Cathedral Close
at St. Adams have been completed, and
the architect, G. F. Bodley, R. A. A. F., of
London, and the consulting architect, Harry
Vaughn of Boston, have departed for their
homes.
long study was made by all concerned
Of the ground at st. Adams, and it was
the opinion that the great structure should
stand on the highest ridge Of the tract,
about midway between the School for Girls
and ST. Adams Church. 1t Is thought by
the architects that there is room for the
building at that point. but the exact loca-
ton will be decided at the next meeting.
The cathedral will be in TIE Gothic STYLE
of the fourteenth century, known as the
decorative Gothic type of architecture It
is expected that the building design will be
made public in the spring.
Numerous measurements Of the grounds
were MADE oy the architects, and some
sketches were made of the objects upon the
ground at ST. Adams which will be Access
series of the cathedral when completed.
While no definite plans for the actual cree
ton Of the building have been made as yet,
1t is felt that the work Of construction will
not be long delayed.

to trade in the stock.
The other railway stocks on the list were
also passed over without much OF pause
being made. except in the case OF the COM
mon stock Of the Washington Railway and

that Of preceding days. One sale was re-
corded at 43A and also some at an eighth

but the supply of stock at that price was
not exhausted. Options were offered at
59ss, and the bid for them was 59A.
Greene Copper sold at 20, and also at 26A1s
and the former continued to be the BID
while the asking price was an eighth of a
point In advance.
An inquiry was made for the stock of the
Washington Market Company. which was
unusual, as it is seldom that there is any
transaction recorded in this stock or any
effort made to trade in it. The broker
making the bid advanced his price from
10, which is the usual figure inserted in the
case of this stock, to 20A, but there was
no offering at any price.
At a meeting of the New York chamber
of commerce recently, Mr.. Jacob M. Schiff,
in recommending measures for the better
regulation of call money rates, asserted
that prominent financial institution of
that city, when the money rates in the
early part of the day from to Z per
cent, calls in it's loans. When as a result
of this action, he said, the rates have adj
vanced, it again lends out its money at the
additional figures.
While such practice may not be general
yet that it exists seems to be without
question after such an authority is given as
above quoted. The incident seems to show,
in part at least, why it is that there Is SO
little public confidence that a great central
bank having a controlling influence In the
financial market would be satisfactory.
There is. uncertainty to the methods
that would be followed by the men in
charge of such an institution, and that
feeling was expressed by Secretary Shaw
in his annual report in discussing the sub
iect.

Mercury Takes Toboggan Slide.

The mercury in the weather bureau
thermometers took a toboggan slide last
night and there was a drop in the tenn
perature of 81 degrees. The f1ckleness of
the goddess of meteorology is shown by
the fact that at o'clock last evening the
instrument registered the summer time
temperature of nearly 70 degrees, while
twelve hours later-S o'clock this morning
1T was down to the freezing point and
ice was formed on the water in exposed
places. Winter time scenes were in evil
dence on the streets of Washington today
and a stiff wind blew In more frigidity
from the north.
Prof. A. ]. Henry, one of the official
weather forecasters, informed The Star
late this afternoon that the temperature is
expected to go about II degrees below the
freezing point tonight, and then the at
mosphere will begin to slowly wa m up.

NEW YORr\, December Local money
lend attempted quite generally this
morning to fix the renewal rates on stand

they were successful, but in many others
they were not. Early in the day Wall
street received intimations that the gov

20 institute some additional measures of
relief to the monetary situation. and,
while there was no particular confirmation
of this notion during the greater part of
the business session, the rates for money

quoted during the present str!ngency. In
addition to the ideas that further help

London Market Depressed.

The London stock market was in fact
generally depressed on account of the pc
lief there that gold shipments &c this coun-
try would be resumed, but in spite OF those
views foreign houses were only more buy
ers on balance in the local market to a
small extent.
The preliminary estimates of the principal
movements in currency during the week
Indicated a loss in cash by the banks OF
more than $1O,OO0,G0O, a sum seven times
in excess of the total amount OF their sur
plus reserve as set forth in last Saturday S
bank statement. 1t is generally expected
that very large decrease in the loan
account will appear in tomorrcTs re-
turns. but it is hardly probable that deposits
can be reduced sufficiently as to prevent
another deficit being shown In the state
ment. In the early part of the stock eX-
change session this prospect and the con-
tinuing anxiety regarding money market
affairs led to declines in prices in all de-
part-lents of the market, but by mid
day these losses had been in most cases
recovered and in fact converted into net
advances.
The rally in the stock market was, OF
course. based upon the unexpected relaxa-
fion in the rates for money. In fact, aside
from the various circumstances relating to
money market affairs. there were no de-
velopmeuts of any general Importance with
the course of the day.

MORE RAIN COULD BE USED
Moisture Sufficient i'm Most Places, but
Would Re Acceptable in
Others.

The crop, soil and weather report Of
the Burlington for the week ending July
81 shows that rain practically covered the
entire state of Nebraska The reports
still indicate, however, there are several
places on lines northwest of Aurora where
more rain would be acceptable. 'chere is
also a decidedly dry streak between Nc
Cook and Benkleman. on the main line,
although there has been plenty Of rain
on the Imperial branch. With the two
exceptions mentioned the soil is generally
in good condition. The government report
shows that, based on an average of 1877
stations. the rainfall in Nebraska for June
was 2.70 inches. This is considered by
the Agricultural department of the gov
eminent to be 1.19 inches below normal:
that is to say, the normal rainfall for
June the state over is considered to be
$50 inches.
Reports concerning the wheat crop have
not been quite as favorable as present
conditions seem to justify. Not a great
deal of threshinE was done during the
week, but wherever threshing has been
done the yield proved better than ex-
pected. on the Kansas branch of the Nc
Cook division the crop will average bet
ter than half crop. Between McCook
and Benkleman the crop on the main line
is light. Elsewhere on the McCook di-
vision the yield will run from fifteen to
forty bushels. the quality being good.
On the Lincoln division threshing for the
week shows a yield ranging from twenty
to forty bushels per acre. An average
yield, based on reports from nine stations,
shows a yield Of thirty-two bushels per
acre. On the Wymore division present
reports indicate a yield OF fifteen to thir-
ty-hve bushels per acre, as per previous
reports.
The oats crop is generally better than
anticipated and probably will average bet
ter than half crop in the Nebraska dis
trict. The quality is hrst-class. Little
spring grain is raised in this district. ex-
cept oats.
Corn did fairly well, but the nights were
too cool for rapid growth. In a general
way the outlook for a good corn crop IL
favorable.
The potato crop does not cut much Of
a figure in the district. Indications seem
to be for an average yield aud good quail
ity.
Prospects continue good for apples
The peach crop is much better than an
ticipated. Good peaches are said to be
selling in otoe county at rs cents per
bushel.
