2,235,0O acres Of land in North and
South Dakota, known as the Standing

DR.. BEARD OF LOCAL COMMITTEE
TO INVITE SUNDAY GETS AN
sWER FROM THE EVANGELIST
IS CONSIDERING THE INVITA-
TIoN.

The following letter, which has been
received by DIR. B ard one of the mem
bers Of the committee from the Fargo
Moorhead Ministerial union. appointed
to invite Sunday to come to Fargo and
hold a series OF revivals is self explain
atory:
Rev. r. A Beard: thank you for
your joint letter of the 7th with the
various petitions enclosed, and I win
take the call under advisement. / have
always had a warm spot in my heart
for your city and the petitions look
good to me. 1t is too early to give
you definite response, but the invi-
tations will be carefully and prayer
fully considered and will let you
know later on what am led TO do
about coming to your town. With
best regards, etc,
w. A. Sunday.
From the tone of the above letter
1t is evident that Mr.. Sunday will not
come to this city This year and In fact,
from other sources 1t may be stated
on good authority that IL Mr.. Sunday
accepts the call it will be for the TALL
OF 1910.

Shock Market.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The heavy SELL
ing on the early bulge had discour-
aging effect on the bullish element and
the result of the pressure caused a
lower and feverish market throughout
the session. While prices declined
easily In most of the active stocks. the
bear operators hesitated in following
the break, and consequently there
was more or less covering on the
weak spots. This demand, together
with the bidding up tactics in few of
the issues created better feeling and
an advance In the end towards the
close. Amalgamated Copper was con-
spicuously strong throughout the day,
and unless all signs fail, it should sell
very much higher. The advance of
recent date in the face OF the weak
ness in most of the rails was favor
ably commented upon. We under
stand there Is excellent buying going
on in the latter stock and we believe
holders win be well rewarded If they
pay no attention TO daily fluctuations.
Our views on the market are still
bullish, as there are too many favor
able developments pending to permit
anything more than natural reactions.

were &Q1A lower with the exception
Of Budapesth, which was 2 cents

there were beneficial rains in sections
Of the winter wheat belt.
Local professionals bullishly inclined

quieter. Speculatively the market is
over-bought with millers demand the
chief prop. This later class of buying
cannot continue indefinitely and it can
