ga weakness In certain issues. Steel,

the brunt Of the selling. American

points and various other specinltles
from J To points. With the receipt
of news from abroad that prospects
for tn" ending OF the Balkan war were
brighter, the market turned, and by
noon the iavUritc stocks had risen to
a level with yesterdays close or above.
Bonds were steady.
Isolated points of weakness cropped
out after midday. including north
western, hut the general market rang
ed higher with tho local fractions In

Room operators were not inclined
To do much In the latter part OF tho
day and the market In consequence
made few changes OF importance.
scattered liquidation affected II few
minor stocks but the general list
holds up well.
Tn" market closed easy. Persist
ent selling of various inactive stocks

Under the caption Church Adver-
Using Spreading" the Continent. the

tention ia its current issue TO the
benefits being derived BY many
churches advertising in the daily

Several instances are cited where
display advertisements have resulted
in the churches being crowded In
part the article states.
The few ventnresome souls who
first tried In the daily press to adyer-
tise churches, and religion in general.
have found not only that their efforts
have been web rewarded By increased
attendance at the churches in behalf
OF which the advertising campaigns
were conducted. but there has been
more and more approval of their con
duct by the religious press as well as
by the daily press.
The Continent was one Of The nrst
publications to advocate publicity and
advertising by churches. and during
the last year and half has printed q
number of articles telling of the pro-
gress OF church advertising and has
suggested new plans
Ministers in many parts OF the
country who have tried definite dis
play announcements OF regular and
special church services hare found
that they have increased their attend
ance. and as natural concomitant
the financial support has also fncreas-

enthusiasm for church work and has
had refux effect upon the pastors. as
well as people, which has been de
