This Preacher Wants
No Flowers on Coffin

NEW. YORK, oct. 2s.-The Rev. DR..
Mark, A. Mathews, moderator of the
Presbyterian general assembly. has be-
gun a campaign for the discontinuance
of the custom of sending flowers to
funerals. In an address here he said:
What is the use of blossoms on a
coffin? Christianity ought to educate
this custom out of Americans Take
the roses and put them, not son cof-
I'M, but in the lapel of the coat Of the
laboring man on his way to work. Send
the lilies into the work shop. into the
sweat shop, there to brighten lives.

MORRIS AVENUE
PRICES UNCHANGED
Business Dull and Prices
Steady and Firm, But
Good for Season

No change in prices marked the open
ing of the week in the Morris avenue
markets and a steady trade was enjoyed.
The firmness of prices and the quiet
trading is nothing unusual for this time
of the year, but according to the deal
ers the market has shown a gain in trade
in all commodities for this time of the
year over last year.
The poultry and egg market reports a
fair trade for Monday. Eggs still are
quoted at is cents a dozen and are likely
to GO higher before the week is over,
owing to short supply. There is a plenti-
full supply of hens and fryers to meet
the quiet demand In the dry salt meat
market trade is sluggish with short
meat supply and a light demand
Produce dealers feel a shortage of fresh
vegetables. but prompt shipments are
expected to remedy this situation today
A carload of cantaloupes came In yester-
day making that commodity plentiful for
the light demand No change from Satur-
days quotations were reported and the
wholesale produce dealers have entered
upon another duh week
The grain merchants suffered no reduce
tons in prices and reported brisk trade
Sugar and coffee retain their firm prices
and trade is up to the standard. Yes

WHEAT RECEIVERS
MUCH OF THE Loss
Storm of Selling Causes
Prices to Break More
Than Two Cents

Chicago. July s.-Although a storm
of selling today caused wheat prices to
break more than cents, the market
ing figures were firm at &c to Is q u C
under last Saturday night. The latest
trading left corn Nc to u @ a. net
higher; oats varying from " off to ssc
up. and provisions strung from 12ac
decline to an advance of TIC.
In the wheat pitt heavy amount of
the selling came from important longs
week. There were signs, too. that the
northwest was letting go of wheat here.
Depressed cables and lack of elevator
room here counted likewise against the
bulls. A help to prices came through
shorts taking profits and timely assist
ance for the bulls developed in the visi-
BILE supply, which reached round
total of nearly 100000 bushels. Sep
TENDER fiuctuated from 9S1a Q99asc with
last sales at s9Mc. loss of y q " net.
Washington crop figures expected to-
morrow formed the pivot that turned
the market in an upward decline. Pri-
waite eS- orts estimated the government
report would show a relatively low
condition and that the acreage would
be smaller than had been supposed.
Early in the day. however, the mar
ket was weak with wheat and because
of the fine growing weather. Septem-
Der swung from 66c to 67Ac, closing
firm Il a sc up at 67Ac Cash grades
were only In moderate demand. No.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July Section futures
opened barely steady at an advance OF
6 to II points on good cables, continued
rains In the eastern half of the belt and
unfavorable private press crop accounts.
Shorts were good buyers and commission
houses had a large accumulation over
Sunday of buying orders to fill a much
larger outside business than usual was
done and outsiders as a rule took the
long side of the market. Immediately
after the call prices were 10 to II points
up. Buyers of last week were heavy
profit takers and at the end of the first
half hour of trading prices were to
points up.
Around the middle of the morning
prices took on another squirt on the fore
cast OF showers for the eastern belt
July did not show much activity, but the
new crop months were put IA to Is points
over Saturdays final quotations. Profit
taking by longs increased on this rise
and became hreayy enough to weigh
against prices. Late in the morning the
trading months were to 4 points under
Saturdays close. The market was very
steady at the decline and at noon 1t was
unchanged to point down, compared
with Saturdays close.

EXCITED BUYING Of
COTTON CONTINUES
Prices Advance II Points
First Hour-ClOsing
Prices Lower

New York. July S.-The public continued
its excited buying of cotton again at the
opening of today's market and for time
continued to sweep everything before H.

ditions this week in the central and east
ern belt. gradually supplied the demand
when prices first began to waver and
turned heavy. breaking % to % points
from the highest of the day.
While the offerings mostly were from
big longs. In the nature of tremendous
profit taking, there also was an extradi-
ton of bear operators for the evidently
over bought condition of the marker
chiefly were responsible. 1t was felt that
crop conditions did not justify the ~
point advance in the market within less
than a week. Closing prices of the day
were to points lower with the market
steady In tone in response to some i'm
provement in demand in the last few
minutes.
The opening was steady and to
points higher following strong English
cables and estimates of 8 per cent In
area. While professional sentiment was
rather against the market this afternoon
it was unauestionably still a very ner-
vous affect with much depending upon
| the outcome of weather conditions in the
east during the next few days.
