from Violet Oakley. "Elijah." one OF

effective service in every cause which
seemed right and good.
The manner of glazing the memorial
window is after the thirteenth century

prophet.

registered by shippings. equipments,

moderately in the general advance.
Trading ~slackened at midday when
irregular tendencies developed. Re-
actions of l to 5 points in oils and

among shippings were balanced by
the greater strength OF Great North
