}sL'W Yohk, Sept. 38.—R. 0. Dun &
Co.'a weekly review of trade says: The
doubt about the coin crop has vaniihed.
Estimates vary either way, 2,015,000
bushels, but It is doubtless the largest
crop ever railed, the increase of more
than 550,000,000 bushels in this crop far
Outweighs in value any loss in the yield
of wheat. The yield of oats is the lar-
gest on record, and the yield of hay and
potatoes excellent. It is Safe to Bay that
this year's agricultural products will rep-
resent at least one hundred millions more
money than last year at the average pri-
ces for both.
Trade has been checked, by
artificial prices/The corner inwheatprices
for September went to $1.2j at Chicago.
The rise hete being 5 cents for the week.
Seaboard prices huve for some time been
relatively too high for foreign markets.
The demand for cotton good# is slow and
conservative. Speculation in wool has
checked the manufacturer* demand,
while the supply is short. The pressure
of foreign goods at low prices prevents
:in advance in prices by producers here.
At Kansas City the market for cattle is
overstocked and prices are so low as to
(heck movement.
The boot and shoe trade is large, m
iron market is stronger at Philadelphia,
but weaker at Pittsburg. No improve
meht appears in steel rail.
Money is generally in ample supply,
but the stringency increases at Cleveland
and the demand is strong at St. Lou s
and Milwaukee. Kansas City reporti
loans paid with unusual regularity and
money is easy at Omaha. From New
York the reports for the past four weeks
have been 4 per cent below last year

The Congregationalism* of the uorthweat
are now to have a siiteeu page weekly paper
published in Minneapolis and edited by the
Rev. H. W. Gleasou.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, should be
proud of the name by which he is known
among the Indians, for whom he has done so
much. He is called "The Straight Tongue"
and "The Father Who Don't Lie."
There are, now in the United States, at
least thirty institutions to train men and
women for distinctively Christian and
church work among the Germans. The
greater number «f these are supported by
the Lutheran*.
It is rumored tiiat Dr. Bryeiinoin, the
learned metropolitan of Nicomedia, has
made even a more important discovery
than that of "The Teaching of the Twelve
Aik>sties," which he found in tbe Church of
the Holy Sepulchre some time ago.
Tabernacle Church, Brooklyn (Dr. Tal-
mnge's), received 341 members last year on
CoHfession of faith. This gives It the right
to lead the Presbyterian column. Strange
to say, third on the list is the church at
Sitka"l&hlinit), Alaska, with HI.
The New Hebrides Presbyterians are rais-
ing a fund for assisting aged and infirm min-
isters; and it is contemplated to give them a
minumum of $330 and a maximum of $730.
This is doing exceedingly well for the Pres-
byterian citizens in these distant islands of
the Pacific.

The Indian Commission.
Chamberlain, Dakota, Sept. 38.—The
general council of all the Indian agents
and their leading chiefs with the Sioux
commiMiop, which commenced last oat-
urday at the Lower Brule agency, dis-
solved last night, and the commission
left here for the east to-day. The agents
and Indians left Bule for their respective
agencies this morning. The commission
having no authority to treat with the
Indians were compelled to refuse any
concessions to their demands for changes
in the bill. Delegations from each of the
six agencies, composed of agents and
leading men, will now visit Washington
and then the Indians will be given an op-
portunity to present to the president their
wishes, with the hope that some arrange-
ment mav be made which will satisfy
them. The commission now look for a
satisfactory conclusion of their labors
with greater hope than at any time here-
tofore.

pany's factors; and I :ie fellows they were
—brave, cultured, chivalrous, gentle and
good, but with a roaring sort of way with
them that suggested the entrancing Man-
itoban Indian summer with a lurking,
howling blizzard element beneath. These
are like them. Climate has had to do
with it; true culture of brain and brawn,
more. They are near enough to the states
to be emulative; far enough from Eng-
land to abhor incivility.
They—and all New Brunswick folk-
are less pretentious than we; more toler-
ant than others of their nationality. In
all that makes sociologlc distinction,
these people are immeasurably better
than Englishmen, and infinitely less the
time servers and snobs than some Ameri-
cans. I should say they had got further
away from the England we profess to
condemn than many of ns whose cheeks
should flame for our cockney apings; that
they were, iu moderation, level headed-
ness, clean culture, and in the freedom
from feverish ambitions and vanities, far
in advance of most of our communities;
that they possessed the best of Old
World equipoise and conservatism, and of
New World virility; and that if by any
good fortune of diplomacy or war their
country should become our country, we
would secure a fine bit of possession
and as admirable a class of people as are
now within our farthest boundaries.—

The Wool Market.
Boston, Sept. 38.~Thc demand for
wool continues good and the market is
firm. The sales of the week was 8,159,-
500 pounds. Fine fleeces are most in
demand and are tirmer than other grades.
Territory and Texas wools have been in
good demsnd, with sales on a basis of
50 to 55 cents for fine, and 47 to 5* cents
for medium. Considerable spring Cali-
fornia wool haB bacn sold in the range of
13 to 18 cents, one sale of 100,000 pounds
being made at the inside prices.

Williams, Black & Co. had failed to meet
their mercantile obligations. It is be-
lieved that they were on the short side of
wheat at Duluth and other western
points and that their losses outside of
this were immaterial, although they have
represented large interests at nearly all

The pope has at last drawn ou the Papal
Guaranty fund, established by thj> Italian
government in 1871. By this fund the pope
"was to receive an annual grant of $600,000.
Pius IX would not touch it, but Leo XIII
has lieen driven, it would wm, by financial
exigency to draw on it.
The Methodist watchword is, "Twelve
hundred thousand dollars for missions in
1888.'' Chaplain McOabe writes enthusias-
tically from the west, saying: "We have
lifted a new battle cry—'a million souls for
Christ in 1889.' 1 never saw the church so
thoroughly aroused throughout the west."
Professor Benjamin B. Warfield, writing
of "Christian evidences as affected by recent
criticism," in The Homiletic Review, con-
cludes that tho case is briefly this: "Recent
criticism has a very deep effect upon Chris-
tian evidences in modernizing them, and so
developing and perfecting them that they
stand now easily victor against modem as-
saults."
According to careful calculations made by
a British clergyman of note and just pub-
lished, Protestants have increased during the
last buudred years from 37,000,000 to 184,-
000,000, or nearly fourfold. Roman Catho-
lics during the same period have increased
from 80,000,000 to 163,000,000, or twofold,
The Greek church during the century has in-
creased from $0,000,000 to 83,000,'100, also
twofold.
The Rev. J. W. Stuckenberg, pastor of the
American church in Berlin and editor of the
European department of The Homiletic Re-
view, at a recent meeting of clergymen of
ail denominations held in Saratoga, at which
the subject discussed was Eschatology, said:
"The trend of German thought now is not
so much as to the representation of the JJible
respecting the future of the soul as it it
whether there is a God."
The Rev. \V. F. Davis passed out <i the
Charles street jail, iu Bostou, lately, after
ten months' imprisonment. Why imprisoned?
For preaching on Boston common. Well
may it be said, "Let us see; is it history or
only it myth, that, the famous founders of
Boston and the glorious commonwealth to
which it belongs quit the shores of Old Eng-
laud for the wilds of America in order that
they might find a place where men could
'worship God' according to the dictates of
their own consciences?"

he directed that hisi body be cremated in the
Fresh Pond crematorium and his ashes scat-
tered over one of the flower beds on the lawn
in front °f the retort Uouso. Mrs. Munch
faithfully carried out the directions of her
husband, and for weeks afterward his light
gray ashes were plainly visible on the flow-
ers'and plants where they had fallen.

Easter. Rainy and disagreeable weather
embarrassed tae troops on c&ch of these
dates, but the result of t he turnout has
been very satisfactory. On the recent
trials the men covered about 100 miles iu
forty-eight hours, fighting, scouting and
camping by the way. There were seven-
teen officers and seventy-seven men out,
made up of representatives of a number
of the leading volunteer regiments.
The force was divided into two bodies,
one retreating and the other following it.
At frequent intervals the retreating force
made stands at bridges and other eligible
points of defense, and the pursuers were
compelled to halt, dismouut, send out. a
skirmish line and perform all the other
preliminaries of attack, as though in
active war. It was found that two or
three men loft behind by the retreating
body could make a show of force at a
bridge that would greatly delav the a<L
vance of a pursuing force, and then could
mount and swiftly ride away under cover
of a hedge and escape to tho main body.
This ability to fight and run away with
greater facility than the ordinary infan-
tryman is one of tho chief points urged
by the bicyclers in favor of the new
'•arm." it Is said that scouting and re-
connoitcriug parties mounted upon bicy-
cles could do much more effective work
without risk of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuvers, although the re-
treating force numbered but three officers
and twelve men, they succeeded in delay-
ing the pursuers so that it took them
three hours to cover a distance easily
made in less than two when no obstacles
are Interposed. Three of the retreating
force dallied too long at a bridge, and
were ridden down and captured by a de-
tachment of the enemy. There were no
other losses. Tho chief difficulty expert

enced was due to the number of parallel
roads occasionally converging that ran
through the country traversed. The re-
treating'party had to keep scouts con-
stantly ahead picking up the lay of ine
land and bringing in reports, to pro-
tect themselves from the danger
of being flanked on some of these
roads and cut off entirely at a con-
verging point. In a oountry with one

regiment.—New York Sun.
