DAYS

NEW YORK, June 20.-It was an I'M
satisfactory day 10 both bulls and
Fbears. The generous liquidation and
decline Of yesterday was not continued,
and the rallies were feeble and did
mot give much promise OF continuing.
lAt the opening there were indications
iOf bearish activity, but they were
checked in many stocks by the cover
ing Of shorts over the holiday It was
1he kind Of covering that will probably
only hold until Monday. when the lines
VIII likely be put out again. No one
expects any immediate Improvement
IN the earnings OF the railroads. nor a
general business, the two being synOn-
omous. There are signs of better
ments in certain lines Of commercial
and manufacturing industry, but not In
the industries that produce the heavi-
est tonnage
The rains in tho Central Western
Estates has created some question re-
tgarding the condition of growing grains
and the July reports of crop conditions
are eagerly awaited
The Chicago convention has not in
lsuued an ounce of The expected vigor;
and in the light of the perfect control
the Presidential nominee there was no
real reason. other than enthusiasm, for
expecting it,
1t is unquestionably a fact that the
market since April, since March. per
.haps. has been held by manipulation
And any other reasoning is not sound.
The same power can do the trick over
again. The only probably preventive
would be the fear Of finding some OF the
thousands of shares marketed on the
top price range, sold back even at
loss.
Conservative bankers are of the opin-
Jon that the technical position of the
market warrants rally, but the funda-
mental conditions do not. Interpreted
this sage reasoning means that the pub
lie has money, but few stocks. That
luOney Is plenty and easy. On the other
hand, general business conditions de-
press industrials and the lack of ton
mage keeps down railroad earnings, and
the two together tend TO reduced divi-
bends. That's ALI It's enough.
The initial prices were lower, fol-
lowed by a rally, and then a recession
from high. Most OF the listed stocks

D. D.
The Twelfth Episcopal District is
fortunate in having the matchless H.
B. Parks, as its presiding Bishop.
Wherever this man of God goes the
people delight to do him honor. The
great work that he has accomplished
in the church bespeaks a great man.
st. Paul is proud of the origin Of
African Methodism and it's methods of
race elevation, delights to do honor
to it's heroes.
The evening of October u, was
made memorable by a reception
unique in character, which was ten
dered Bishop Parks by several male
members of st. Paul in the palatial
home of Bishop Evans Tyree, D. D.
Mrs Tyree daughters and other la
dies of the church did everything
necessary to make the evening
pleasant one.
Luncheon was the programme from
1920 to / o'clock. Luncheon having
been finished, the POSTMASTER, Prof.
]. B. Bate, handed a large, beautiful
bouquet to Prof l. T. Bryant, who
presented it to Bishop Parks. The
bishop expressed his gratitude in a
ten-minute speech which thrilled the
hearts of all present. The following
persons responded to toasts: Rev. G.

become tangled or complicated. The
condition of things is alarming. The
president is wholly responsible for
such conditions, having used his house
as a dining-room for the white teachers

come quite bold this year and has fur
nished the old Wells Home complete

Sunday Funerals.

The Rev c. l.. Palmer writes in the
Homfletic Review on the above subiect
and we have no doubt that the majority
OF pastors will be in full sympathy with
his views. We give in part:
sentiment against Sunday funerals Is
growing both in volume and velocity.
1t is automatic that this tendency will
meet with almost universal approval.
mat a reformation can be brought about
is not open to doubt, if all who take
part in caring for the dead will unite
IN definite and concerted opposition.
The following incident illustrated what
we believe is possible in every church
A Roman Catholic priest upon taking
charge of a parish announced to his neo-
pie that 1t would be impossible for him
10 conduct funeral services on Sunday.
His Pensioners appreciated the wisdom
or his request and complied with It. We
mink he has had no calls for such ser
vice for several years. 1t is such a stand
that must be taken by every pastor IL
THIS imposition is to be discontinued. No
reasonable excuse can be given for en-
during the perplexity and annoyance
caused by this inconsiderate demand.
There are reasons why Sunday funerals
should be abolished.
