TRADING ON AVENUE
 IS NOT VERY BRISK Strong Tone, However, Pre-
 vailed Yesterday NO CHANGE IN PRICES Receipts During Day Were Unusually Heavy-Christmas Trading Not
 Expected to Begin for
 Few Days Yet

Trading did not open in the markets along Morris avenue yesterday with the briskness that was expected, though a strong tone prevailed throughout the day. Receipts were heavy. Among the new arrivals were six cars of oranges from Florida; in the market for fruits and produce three cars of fresh meats from Chicago and Fort Worth; one car each of corn, oats, meal, flour and chops in the market for flour and feed stuffs; and about six crates of chickens, hens and flyers, with some additional turkeys in the market for poultry and eggs.
 While 6 heavy demand prevailed in 
 preparations. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices of the active months were within to points of Satur- days close.
 The market was nervous from the early trading on. Around the middle of the morning there was much selling out by longs, who appeared to be disappointed with the tame air of the market and these offerings created enough pressure to put prices IS to 15 points under the level of Saturdays last quotations. To- ward noen this selling decreased and D5tl6T AOuS was III cNlQtllCe. 1I1CeS par tially recovered on telegrams from the interior predicting smaller ginners' re- turns for the period ending today. At noon the market was dull but steady at a decline of to points compared with Saturdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market had a better tone. At o'clock the active months were unchanged compared with Saturdays close.
 Cotton futures closed steady. unchanged to l point down, compared with Satur- days closing on the trading months

DR.. JOHN F. CoWAN, Of Fulton
this week, entered upon his fiftbeth
year as pastor Of the old Auxvasse
Presbyterian church. DR.. Cowan
took charge when young, immediate
ly after graduating from the theolog.
hcal seminary at Princeton. Dr.
Cowan has seen three congregations
grow out Of the Old Auxvasse con.
gregation. The Oldest member Is
Mrs. Jacob Maddox, now so years
old. She was young woman when
Dr. Cowan took charge. During
the Civil War the Union forces is
sued a number of edicts, prominent
among them the oath of allegiance.
FAILURE of a pastor to take this
oath denied him the right to preach.
The congregation of DR.. Cowan sent
word back they would worship as
they saw fit, and were not molested.
Another part Of the order prohibited
such ministers from performing mar
riages, but DR., Cowan legalized his
ceremonies In a noval way. He had
a Justice of the Peace at hand and
would perform the ceremony up to
certain point. The Justice would
then step in and say, 81 now pro-
nounce you husband and wife" When
the order went out, during the Civil
War, that all churches should dis
play Union flag at the side of the
pulpit, the young women of DR.. Cow.
ans congregation set about to make
one from calicoes of proper hues.
While the result was not artistic, il
served the purpose and stood by
the pulpit for year or more. DR.,
Cowan is native of Missouri. He
came TO Fulton as a youth and was
graduated from Westminster Col
lege In 1858. He is the only living
member of that class. In addition to
his duties as pastor of the Old
Auxvasse Church, DR.. Cowan also
holds a chair at Westminster Col
lege, having been elected to the posi-
ton tn 1888, He breaches almost ey
cry Sunday at the Auxvasse church
and never misses unless the mem
bers decide the weather ds too Sc
we're and advise him by telephone
not to fin the appointment. Dr.
Cowan Is wellpreserved man
his leisure moments he composes po
strong both On body and mind. II
