SYNOD OF TEXAS.

The Synod of Texas stepped into a
veritable Vanity Fair" when she met
in her annual session at Dallas, Wednes-
day, October 18th. The Texas State Fair
was in progress at the time, with the
city filled with thousands of visitors from
every corner of the State, drawn in by
the drag net of cheap rates. The business
sections were constantly thronged by the
light-hearted crowds and especially at
night when the streets were brilliantly
illuminated by numerous electric arches,
spanning the long stretches at frequent
intervals, producing a really beautiful
and fairy-like scene. Multitudinous cheap
shows were on almost every block on
Main street, with strong-lunEed graphic
phones playing propular airs, while deep
basso-voiced 'ropers in" importuned
the passeTs-by to enter at the cost of a
nickle or dime to drive dull care away
in the enjoyment of the attraction pro-
vided within for eye and ear.

half of our $50 Presbyterian women being
educated in colleges other than our own.

tional names.

and, with additional names, the commit

The following is the amended paper
adopted by the Synod of Virginia on
Christian work in prisons and jails and in
convict camps:
That our minister's and people are ear
nestly urged to seek opportunities for reIi-

pointed, composed of nine ministers and

ON THE INCREASE OF PASTORS
SALARIES.

On motion of Mr.. F. T. Glasgow, it
was
Resolved, That Synod enjoins the Pres
byteries to direct the churches, as far as
practicable, to readjust the salaries of
their pastors to the present higher cost of
living, if this has not already been done
by them.
And the Synod instructed the Stated
Clerk to inform the session of the
churches of this action.

comprehensive view of the state of

cussion in speculative circles of an early importation of gold me rate of ex- change, however, is stna considera bIe distance from the level which would make gold imports profitable. The rate for call loans was appreciably easier to- day, It was expected that some effect might have been produced by an ac- emulation of cash by the trust compa- nes, in view of the consultations be- tween trust company and banking off cials over the question of trust com pany reserves. Such accumulations would be available in the call loan market.
 There was a hopeful sentiment preva- lent over the prospects for settlement or the labor dispute in the anthracite trade. Discounts in London were shade easier although this weeks stock ex- change settlement there was reported to be causing some anxiety. The Imperial bank of Germany showed a notable i'm provement of conditions. Sub-treasury operations have turned in favor of the banks this week. and have yielded a mill lion dollars since the bank statement compared with a loss for the same pe- riod last week of s2,5O0, 600.

 Traffic officials of railroads reported the volume of shipments well maintained and operating conditions not materially impaired by last weeks stormy weather Support of the market was manifest at the opening, but was met by the selling caused inevitably by last weeks drop in prices and the calls for additional mar gin which went out in consequence. The support in the market persisted and the arrest of the decline in itself frightened the pressure to sell. An uncovered short interest added to the demand for stocks. Except in a few stocks, the strength did not become aggressive and yielded on number of reactions The market rallied at the last, however, and closed firm.

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Before early afternoon the cotton mar ket worked off within four points of the lew price of the season.
 It was evident on Saturday that those who had cotton in anticipation of a rally over Il cents were greatly disappointed at the way in which prices failed to advance.
 They began to sell and 1t was equally evident this morning that any pressure would cause a rather sharp decline.
 When Houston receipts for tomorrow were estimated at 13,5O0 to 14,500 traders became rather hopeless.
 Holders began to throw cotton over board rather extensively and while the market did not decline with rapidity. none the less the undertone was very heavy and the tendency of the market was unmistakably toward a lower level.
 We have very little to say regarding the progress of events and until there are evidences of radical difference in the at titude of spinners Or of some feature not now in sight we fail to see where on op- erations for higher prices can be success- fully grounded
