The Presbytery of New York, which
is large and important ecclesiastical
body has under consideration plan for
Presbyterial organization and work,
with some new features. One is that
the Moderator's term of office shall be
three years, the incumbent being in
eligible for the terms following. An
other is the election of the Moderator's
Council of eighteen members, nine in
the active ministry of the Presbyterian
Church and nine elders representing
churches. the members being ineligible
for reelection for one year after the
term of service. 1t is proposed that
there be four business meetings, and in
addition two devotional meetings, in
January and March, for the deepening
of the spiritual life and the quickening
of evangelistic efficiency

mary to do evangelistic work, and pro-
fessors of homiletics give us instruction
in the developing of an evangelistic ap-
peal, and the theological students have
the work in the missions in street
preaching and in the conduct of meet
ings in the smaller places about the SEM
mary expected from them, we shall have
a day when the whole Church will feel
the throb of new power and multitudes
of people, now indefinite, will be brought
to Christ"
Our own seminaries are giving atten-
ton to the training here suggested by
encouraging the students to do evangel-
istic work in Sunday-schools and mis-
sion fields, and by instruction in the de-
partment of pastoral theology. If our
ministers could, at stated times, go out
in pairs, two and two, in the mission
fields after the manner of the apostles,
we have Scriptural authority for believ-
ing that pastoral evangelism would at
tain its normal place and the harvests
would be abundant.

The Rev. DR.. Ira Landrith, the Moder-
ator of the Cumberland General Assem-
bly, of 1906 and one of the leaders of t-e
section of the Cumberland Church
which has united with the Presbyterian
Church, North, publishes in the North
a letter in which he urges PresbyteTians
coming South to live to unite with the
Cumberland Churches. He says:
Hitherto these welcome newcomers
have gone into the Southern Presbyter-
ian Church, under the impression that
by so doing they were more nearly
maintaining their UNCONVENTIONAL rela-
lions than they would do should they
join the Cumberland Presbyterians.
With the kindlest fraternal regard for
the Southern Church desire still to say
that this ought not longer so to be.
With congregations of their own de-
nomination now plentiful in all parts
of the South and Southwest, ought
transplanted American Presbyterians
henceforth to desert their own for an
entirely different denomination? Sure
ly there is no Improperly in making a
vigorous negative answer to this ques-
ton. Regard for this request will do
much to win for our PTesbyterianism
this great land of promise"
We may be permitted to add that all
over Virginia and the East Presbyter-
ians from the North have been most
cordially welcomed in our churches
and find themselves at home, many of
them proving most valuable church
workers and officers. They are prompt
to see that our ministers preach relig-
ion only, and that in our churches there
is no politics nor sectionalism, nor
isolation" whatever that is.

NEW YORK, May 1S--The Inconsistency
OF the tendency Of prices 10 stay in the dull
nut OF professionalism, into which the
stock market is relapsing, was again well
illustrated today. The early market showed
an extension OF the decline, which became
pronounced late yesterday. Afterwards
there was slow and irregular recovery
with increasing dullness, amounting to
practically idleness late in the day The
counted for by the shifting operations of
the room traders and their Inability to
move prices far in either direction. News
was unimportant and without much in
fluence. Pennsylvania continued to be
conspicuously depressed under the joint in
fluence OF the revelations before the In
terstate Commerce commission and OF the
heavy borrowings Of the company. The
later influence was aggravated by the cir
immediate prospect by the company, for
which no authority was obtainable.

In the cash item, although the sub-treasury
account shows an absorption from the
large part TO the return of the government
funds placed on deposit with the banks
on condition that they should be returned
on receipt of the gold. There have been
very large receipts of imported gold this
week and these receipts go into bank
vaults TO make good the return of gov
eminent deposits in the cash showing. The
bank estimate shows that the movement
OF cash with the interior by express has
been in favor of New York on balance
to the extent of several million dollars.

renewed demand is increased to the bank
ing mind by reports that Chicago banks

Foreign exchange rates were easy again
today but the decline was not sufficiently
decisive to answer the question OF re-
sumption of gold imports.

CHICAGO. May 1s--Failure of the Liver
pool wheat market to respond to the sharp

sible for weak tone In the local market

With the exception OF two or three
tone OF the wheat market was inclined TO
weakness all day. Pit traders were dis
posed TO take the selling side of the mar
ket and there was also at times liberal
selling by local longs. Comparative weak
ness IN the market at Liverpool where
prices showed a small loss, notwithstanding
the advance OF more than 1 cent here yes
terday, had depressing effect on the local
market at the opening The decline at

Argentina. Weather conditions In the

SHEEB-Ine market was the next thing
to bare this morning, only Ave cars being
reported in. Aside from deck OF pretty
decent lambs which sold at $3.50, the
arrivals consisted principally of trash,
being the cleanup of feed lots. some
very common wooded lambs sold at 1925
and $685. While there was really moth
ing here to make a test of the market
the little stun on sale brought very good
prices considering the quality, so that II
would be within the bounds of reason TO
quote IL fully steady.
Every one looked forward to a period
of dullness in the sheep trade at this
point as one after another the feed lots
have been cleaned up until there is very
little in the way OF either sheep or lambs
left in this territory.

OMAHA, May IS. 1906.
The market was not as active as yes
q &c, due to unresponsive cables and
much larger Argentina shipments than
we're estimated. The market turned strong
. after the early weakening, and sold to
1traction above yesterdays high point.
Khere was reaction to opening prices
yesterday, on July. Conflicting reports
came from the southwest today, some
saying rain had fallen and other points
saying damage had already resulted from
dry weather. The market seems to be
entirely a matter Of weather.
Corn was weak and prices declined nc on

. From the Modern Miller: "Drouth condi-
lions still prevail over a large part of the
winter wheat belt. Rains have fallen in
Texas, Oklahoma and parts of Kansas, but
there has been no general rainfall in the
latter state and moisture IL urgently needed
IN the dry districts. In Missouri and east
u the Missouri river, including Indiana,
Ohio and the country south Of the Ohio
river, the plant is suffering. and where al
ready weakened by previous unfavorable
conditions or on thin land serious damage
Is feared. Too much rain has fallen In
Texas and there is evidence of rust, but
with favorable weather a much larger crop
than last year Is expected. In Oklahoma
and Nebraska conditions are excellent.

CATTLE-There was a fair run of cattle
here for a Friday, ninety cars all told,
being reported in the yards, but of this
number twenty cars were not offered for
sale, being through stuff halted here for
feed and rest
The market on fat cattle was practically
devoid of new features. II being a typical
Fridays trade, While the demand, as
usual toward the last of the week, was
not as urgent as 1t might have been and
while the trade was at no time very
active packers still appeared to want the
cattle and kept buying them, with the
result that a reasonably early clearance
was effected. As to values there was no
great change such cattle as the buyers
steady prices. On the other hand, II a
man did not happen to have something
which especially appealed to buyers he
found 1t little slow unloading and in
some cases sellers reported that they had
to take OF a little on the price as com
pared with yesterday. The best cattle
here sold up to $3.50.
The trade in cows and heifers was with
out any material change in any direction.
Most statesmen reported 1t as steady
market, but there were cases where
operators found IL a little slow unloading
and where they thought they were unable
to secure quite as good prices as yester-
day.
There were no fresh receipts Of stockers
and feeders of any consequence and very
little doing I'm that kind of cattle. The
few which changed hands brought about
steady prices. Spectators seemed to be
pretty we'll cleaned up and the prospect
Is that the yards will be practically bare
OF stockers and feeders by the close OF
