Bishop QuayIe Speaks.
Bishop w a. Quayle of St. Louis,
former president of Baker university,
delivered the principal address at the
opening meeting of the conference
Tuesday night. Zone Of the key words
in history is evolution. another is rev.
olution, and a third is conversion"
said Bishop Quayle.
Thank God the Methodist church
stands for conversion. Evolution is
the word of science. If it is the key
note of science We will not quarrel
with it, and if it is not the keynote of
science we do not care.
The people who think evolution
would answer for the worlds better
ment are mistaken Unless evolution
has some great compulsion behind It
or within it. it cannot do business.
Revolutions are too fitful- hands
are not schooled these days to rule
them A mfghtier might must be be-
hind both revolution and evolution.

MARKET LETTER.

Chicago, March 15-wHEAT-Lower
/ prices Were made early in the session on
Bile quoting Liverpool spot wheat sharply
1 lower and in demoralized condition. Other
news agencies failed to confirm this situa-
ton and at this writing it has not as yet
been determined whether or not the orig
inal quotations were correct. May wheat
in Liverpool did not reflect any such weak
fday. The buying on the early break was of
a more impressive character than at any
time within the past week and at the close
the market had a far better tone. Attention
is now being diverted to the domestic cash
position, which was anything but strong
during the big advance in futures. Indi-
been turned in this regard. evidenced by
the advancing tendency as compared with
the futures in various markets. Pro-
nounced strength has not vet developed
but If the demand continues to broaden
with the movement certain to diminish,
much stronger situation could easily be
mate in the futures for a while longer but
the buying side looks to us to be the prop
er one.
CORN-Heavy liquidation set in after the
opening, carrying prices into new low
ground on the present move. The decline,
however, was not without its good as the
ened by the liquidation and the cash ar
ticle gained the future. Receipts were
small and the demand good Country offer
held for higher prices Now that the peak
has been reached in terminal accumula-
tons the market should be able to respond
more readily to bul1ish factors
OATS-Oats declined with other grains,
accompanied by heavy and general hquida-
ton of long contracts. Cash prices were
slightly lower, but the spot trading basis
relatively better. Country offerings to ar
rive continue light We are inclined to be-
lieve that the break is over.
