Missionary Notes.

The Missionary Study Classes
of the different Wards have each
b zen reorG 1ized and met last
Monday for the first time. An
enrolment of forty-fve names
is very encouraging for begin
ming, and we believe even great
err interest than existed last year
will be manifested. "China's
New Day" is being studied and
is full of material which will en-
tighten and arouse interest.
HOME MISSION WEEK.
How about it? Why should
you observe it? Because this
campaign is being conducted UNI
Ter the auspices of the Protestant
churches of America through this
combined home mission forces.
Because Home Mission Week is
IN attempt to impress upon every
man and woman of every church
of every evangelistical denoml-
nation in this country the SUI
irene Importance of saving
America for the kingdom of Goa
and to convince them that they
have distinct personal respon-
sibility in the performance of this
stupenduous task.
Because the American Home
Mission enterprise is the biggest,
oroadest movement in the United
States and stands for the physi-
cal, social, intellectual and relig-
ious emancipation of all the peo-
pie.
Because every Protestant
church in America should become
4 part of what promises to be the
greatest movement of the church
of 1912.
BECAUSE the Woman's Home
Department of the Board of Mis-
sions is dependent upon your IT.
dividual help in creating interest
in this part of church work. The
great need of twenty thousand
do lars with which to meet pres
ent obligations of our woman's
work makes it necessary for uni
ted effort and special collectio :
must be made a special work of
Home Mission Week, Nov: Il ~.
The present condition Of affairs
| in China makes the proposition
rather a serious one, which co.,
fronts our missionaries, politi-
cally, but we are glad to state
that it has not abated the desire
among the natives for the Chris
tan religion. Are we doing our
duty owards China?
Mr.. Bramwell Booth announcse
that the Salvation Army is to
place a staff of fifty officers in
China to organize the Army's OPP
erations IN the Middle Kingdom.
The reports from our mission"
sry schools in Brazil, Mexico
and China are indeed very en-
couraging. Since the opening OF
the present session all the build
ings are found inadequate, be-
cause of the great increase in the
number of pupils.
May the time speedily come
when these buildings will have
been enlarged and increased in
number sufficiently to accommo-
date every native who desires ad-
mittance.
Yours fraternally,
MRS. C. 0. POWELL,

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat, Corn and Oats Close
lOWer-Coffee Steady.

There was no aggressiveness on either
side in the wheat market yesterday, and
as the news Of the day appeared TO be
against values, with foreign markets fall
ing TO respond 10 the advance here on
Monday. there was enough liquidation by
those who bought late on Monday TO
show a net loss on prices at the close OF
Aa}s. Interior receipts so far show 81
10000 bushels over last years movement.
but prominent Northwestern grain man
was quoted as saying that in Minnesota
only about half the grain has been mar
keted and farmers are not disposed to
sell at present prices. Corn lost 3sG&.c
under liberal receipts and selling by coun-
try houses, and oats felt the effect of in
creasing pressure and selling by com
mission houses, closing lsQLc down.
There was sufficient confidence shown
by bulls In the coffee market to take care
OF all the offerings I'm excess of the ordi-
nary demand. but outside of some liquida-
ton trading was mostly OF an evening up
character. and the market closed at 3
points above 10 the same amount below
the finish OF Monday. The exchange will
not open until Friday morning.

THE COTTON MARKET

There was a fairly active start in the
cotton market. but trading was soon sub
merged IN the tide OF holiday greetings

4 TO points was mainly due 10 covering
for over the holidays. some bullish trade
support and the continued large volume
OF Liverpool spot sales. The market
worked up 10 or II points, but eased off
and closed quiet, net unchanged 10 .
