Special to The News.

Meridian, Miss, Feb 12.-"God Be
With You Till We Meet Again." was
the closing song of the second session
of the Mississippi Baptist Mems Con-
vention at the First Baptist church
last night, and an invocation by DR..
R. w. Hooker, missionary to Mexico,
asking Gods blessings on the dele
gates and the work that had been
done, closed the convention
"It was one of the greatest and
most inspiring conventions that | ever
attended" declared the Rev. e. d. Sol
omon, of Hattiesburg, and those who
heard the statement declared that he
was stating a fact and heartily agreed
with him, especially when he asserted
that this meeting will cause Missis-
sippi Baptists to do more for the ad-
vancement of Gods kingdom than they
have ever done before"
The one great theme of the conven
tion was missions-at home and
abroad Other subjects were discus
sed to limited extent, but the meet
ing was review of the mission work
and a plea for its enlargement.
Last Night Best of All.
1t was the unanimous opinion that
last night was the best Of the con
vention, owing to the splendid ad
dresses made. Some few of the dele
gates left for their homes late yester
day afternoon, and it is considered
| that they missed a great treat. The
subject last night was Work ii

Positive OF Their Men.
There is no doubt in our minds but
that the two men arrested by the Hat
tiesburg police, and the third arrested
by our own officials know something
of the safe-blowisg job. Bloodhounds
traced one man afeAost to his home,
when he was arrested. They then
took up the trail, which led them to
the G. & S. l. depot at Mount Olive.
The men waited yesterday morning
till train time before boarding the
train for Gulfport. They had remained
in hiding till then.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. January 1s.-Increased re-
ceipts northwest counted against the
bulls today in wheat. Lower quota
tions at Liverpool had also a bearish
effect, and SO, too, did the renewal of
snow protection throughout the winter
crop belt. especially western Kansas.
After opening Ato IN lower, the mar
ket rallied somewhat, but later sagged
further than before.
Corn turned heavy with wheat. Be-
sides. cables were disappointing to
friends of higher prices. The opening,
which varied from Aax of to haX
advance, was followed by a moderate
setback all around.
Continued selling by ono Of tho larE-
est houses weakened oats. Pit specu-
lators seemed to have monopoly on
the demand.
Inquiry for provisions was SLOW A
decline in hog prices appeared to make
buyers cautious.
Subsequently quietness of export de-
mand led to a decided break in wheat
prices. The bears made much also of
talk about government inquiries and of
the possibility of an embargo act. The
close was unsettled, 2Aa2A to 2H un-
der last night
The pronounced weakness that de-
veloped in wheat was sympathized with
sparingly by corn, declines being stub
bornly contested. The close was steady
at loss of l b to 1halA net.

FRACTIONAL GAINS,
INCREASED TRADING
Advance Follows Early Low on
Largest Scale Since Busi-
ness Renewal.

NEW YORK, January 19.-stocks
opened with another burst OF activity
and generally higher prices, but trad
ing settled down before the end Of the
first half hour.
With such exceptions as Missouri Pa
cific, Lehigh Valley and $780," all OF
which rose a point or moro, gains were
mostly fractional.
Bethelem Steel declined a point prob
ably in the belief that the directors
will not declare a dividend On the
stock at today's meeting.
It soon made partial recovery. As
usual Of late. large part OF the deal
ings was in the specialties. with good
demand for coppers.
100000 Shares In First Hour.
Following its early low, tho advance
was resumed on about the largest
scale witnessed since the renewal of
business. Transactions in the first
hour aggregated 100000 shares. and
embraced the greatest variety Of is
sues.
The significant feature, however. was
that favorites asserted their former
leadership, although Missouri Pacific
led all stocks in point of activity.
U. S. Steel changed hands in blocks Of
1000 to 100 shares, gaining a point.
Extraordinary ease Of money, as seen
in the steady reduction Of emergency
currency. was perhaps the most potent
factor in the movement. Bonds were
strong.
