Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market REPORTS
Bradstreet's SAYS:

Bradstreet's says:
although trade reports are some
what irregular in character, owing
largely to varying weather conditions
in different sections of the country
and uncertainties caused by impend-
ing elections, the general undertone
is toward sustained Improvement.
Country trade has been comparative
ly quiet, because the farmers have
been taking advantage of the ideal
weather to complete their harvesting.
However, the heavy marketing OF
crops has made for an increased rail-
way tonnage and improved collections
considerably. while exports OF wheat
are heavy. Iron and steel are quiet,
impending elections being a deter
rent influence, but production Is In
creasing in anticipation Of forthcom-
ing good business and there Is more
doing in other industrial lines. There
is less industrial idleness, and in some
instances business Is developing for
the first quarter of 1909, especially
in shoes, lumber and pig iron.

The Real Cause of Weakness.

The decline in numbers among the
free churches of Great Britain Is a
subject for lament. The English pa
pers are filled with anxious discus
sions of the fact. 1t appears that tho
passion for souls is lacking and evan
gelism Is discredited. The churches
are doing little more than the ethical
societies are doing. Seventy-fvc per
cent. of the population are reported
as being either Indifferent or hostile
to the churches.
The churches are Sunday clubs,
reform societies or benevolent agen-
cies. They are not homes for the
soul. Prayer is not vital but for
NAL. Conviction Is not present.
They have the ethic of religion
without the evangel. This condition
is a warning to all the world. The
primary note in all our preaching
and work should be evangelistic.
Stagnation and death stare us in the
face when we cease to seek the lost.

Decay or Building Stones.

The causes of decay in building
stones are various, and depend on
the physical structure Of the stone,
its composition. and the nature OF
the surrounding atmosphere. The
most destructive agent to which the
stone is exposed is rain or a moist
atmosphere, and also, in a minor
degree. wind, frost, and smoke. The
air of large towns Is usually charged
with various deleterious acids; these
acids are dissolved by the rain, which
penetrates the stone in greater or
less degree, according to its physical
structure, and combines with the con-
stitucnts of the stone, causing 1t to
decay, so that any contrivance that
will check the admission Of water
will be most likely to succeed in ar
-esting decay World.

1t Was His Deal.

There Is a man out in Joplin, Mo-,
who is known to his famiiars as Glib
Barbee. Glib is one of the best men
that ever lived, and he takes as much
interest in politics as any other man
could possibly, because he is the
"boss" of the party In his home
town. But it is not his politics
intend to discuss; it is a certain
card game. When Glib was younger
than he is now he visited the town
of Neosho, IS miles away, and while
over there he INDUCED in a quiet
game. One of his whilom Joplin
friends discovered that he was not
getting exactly square deal, and
tipped Glib off to the effect that his
opponent had turned a jack from the
bottom.
