Weekly Ileview of theG-eneral Mar-
ket— f.>pot Cotton Firm—Options a
Shade Ucarer.
News Office, January 8.—Business in the gen-
eral lines of trade has been moderately
active durine the first week of the new year,
although the fluctuations iu values have not been
frequent or of much magnitude.- Louisiana sugars
have been steady with a good demand, but no al-
teration has been made In prices by plantation
agents. Raconand dry salt meats have ruled steady
but without quotable change. Lard was marked
up during the week and to-day ruled very
firm but not quotably higher. In grain there
has been no notable change, the offerings of Texas
corn generally meeting with slow sale. Regarding
corn the New York Bulletin of Friday says: "The
visible supply of corn has increased 530,780 bushels
during the week, and is now 0,605,0-1-1 buehels.which
is 538.34)7 bushels above the supply of a year ago
and 8.003,907 bushels below the supply of two years
ago at corresponding date. There is a decrease of
ISo.lOS bushels in the stocks of corn on the Atlantic
seaboard, as compared with last week's figures,
an increase of 1,835,010 bushels as compared with
last year's stocks at same points and same date:
while two years ago the seaboard stocks of corn
were 4.557,769 bushels in excess of what
they ere now. The amount of corn on
passage to tho United Kingdom and con-
tinent Is 350,0(50 bushels smaller than it was a week
ago. Receipts at the lake and river ports show an
increase for tha week of 111,041 bushels. There has
been at least one xvholesome feature to the corn
market and that is tho inoresed demand from ex-
porters, which has been a good offset to the in-
creased visible supply." The crop of Louisiana
oranges has ainjost all come forward, and at pre-
sent there is no stock in first hands. Eggs have ad-
vanced slightly during tho week and are quoted
at 20&22c. Poultry is unchanged and in
moderate supply. Cabbage is scarce and
quotations are about nominal. Flour is quiet
and local mills report no alteration in prices
since the last report. Coffee remains in about the
same condition,and of the NowYork market the Bul-
letin. of Friday, savst "The market for Rio grades
has been only moderately active,and while the tone
was nominally steady, with holders apparently un-
willing to shade on cost, the support of the former
Una of valuations is evidently a matter of some
difficulty, and no one would have ventured to
urge business. Sales of 1030 bass of Rio, ex Fl-
eance, and 183 ditto, ex Ptolemy. Contracts
were dull and a little stupid. Some display was
made by the bulls, but lt had no effect as an in-
centive to a renewal of domand for investment,
and the covering, was about the ouly chance for
sales. Offerings were ample and rather on the in-
crease if anything, and at the further decline on
value the close was tame. Advices from Rio were
as a rule considered unfavorable, aud by some of
the trade construed as Indloatin^ a weakening of
the syndicate." In general groceries there has
beeu no material fluctuation in prices. Candles are
higher, lemons a shade easier, and pecans are
quoted at 5&Cc, according to quality.
Tha following quotations from Kansas City were
bulletined at the Cotton Exchange to-day:

Spot cotton in the Liverpool market ruled steady
at:d unchanged, with a good business doing, the
sales footing up 12,009 bales. Options opened a
shade easier, but tho loss was recovered, aud the
market closed steady. At New York spots opened
and closed firm and unchanged, with sales of only
3-10 bales, which were taken by spinners. Futures
opened steady at an advance of 4&5 points, ruled
quiet, and closed firm at an advance of 7<&9 points
on last night's prices. At New Orleans there was
uo session ot the future board, the yth of January
being a legal holiday there. The spot market,
however, opened firm and closed quiet but
firm and unchanged, with sales of 3753
bales. In the local market a fair spot
business was done, the sales amounting to
913 bales. The exchange marked up a:l the grades
1-lCc, and recorded the closing tone as firm. Fu-
tures opened quiet but steady and generally higher
and closed with January 12 points up, and th.
other options showing au improvement on Monday
of 7&9 points. A fair business was done, th-
transactions aggregating 3500 bates. The receipts
at the outports continue to fall off and for the day
were only 10,185 bales, against 20,452 bales for the
same date last season, a shrinkage of 10,207 bales.
The receipts thus far this v/ee'i are 50,509 bales
less than for the corresponding period last year
and from present Indications it would appear pro
oable that the total for the week will fall short of
lOO.GOO bales.
The following were the receipts of cotton at Gal-
veston for the twenty-four hours ending at i
o'clock this morning, as made up by the exchange:

CntcAGO. January S.—The general feeling in the
speculative markets on 'change is unsettled and
prices are irregular within a narrow ranee. At the
close of last week both grain and provisions were
traded in quite freely, a large share of the interest
centering in wheat and corn. Hence under
liberal buying 011 local and outside ac-
count with some covering by shorts values
began to improve. The upward movement
however, was soon checked bra reported increase
iu the visible supply of grains, and in the stock of
provisions on hand in this city. The result was an
immediate reaction from what had seemed a
pretty strong position cud though since then each
>i io has made vigorous efforts to gain control of
tne market, no material advantage, either for the
bu'd < or bears, has resulted.
Wheat i> a trifle weaker, and though a liberal
business i-; transacted by speculators, it is evident
that the friends of this cereal are fast deserting it,
a number of prominent operators who have been
b.ms ail along now havmg seen fit to change their
views.
"Wheat is weak all the time." said Kent, this
morning," the only demand being from local shorts,
who are coming in to cover. Outside there is
nothing doing in wheat. Freights from New Y'ork
to Antwerp are the lowest ever known, yet the
largest export honse in New Y'ork wires us they
can't get an order."
"The market ha3 been largely oversold during
the past month or two,'" remarked Llndhlorn. -'aud
it is only from the necessity to cover that any de
maud arises.''
Opinions differ considerably, however, on this
point, and as wheat has dropped off a point or two,
it is strongly assorted that th.-* shorts are uot at all
scared yet, but that the boys are unloading briskl.v.
Yet the receipts are comparatively light, and it
is predicted by many that they will continue so
from this time on, some leading houses even
claiming that the maximum supply of wheat has
been reached.
Billy Murray has been selling a good deal of Mav
wheat lately, and his manipulations are watched
with no littlo Interest. Billy goes broke several
times a year, it is said, but never fails to bob up
serenely between times. He made a fortune last
fall, and. although it is gettiug pretty nearly time
for him to tumble again, uo one cares to bet heavi-
ly on the chances that his sales of May wheat will
down him.
In fact. leading operators differ widely in their
opinions of the course of values In the wheat pit.
They always do. But their predictions are un-
usually wide just now. The bears are sure that the
market has started on a grand break, aud that
wheat will soon be quoted at 80c. The bulls, on
the other hand, claim that this is ouly a slight sag
before an upturn which will carry the cash stuff to
SI. The truth is there has already been a big
break, and a reaction would seem the natural
thing. It is a little radical to talk of a further de-
cline in wheat just now after a drop of 7c has just
ocen suffered, and a drop of 20c within the last six
months.
Corn is decidedly bullish. The fe?ling is of a to-
tally different nature from that in wheat. The in-
dications polnPmare strongly than ever to a deal in
the January option, aud'a portion of the bears are
said to have covered their shorts and flopped over
to the bull ^ide.
" Corn is all locked up," said one of the clique
this morning, "and very scarce. There is a verjr
large short interest which must be covered."
•* A little more of this," remarked another, " and
the country will come in and the January bulsre
will begin.'' Said another "The outside public is
not in this market at present, but stiil it's active.
The big professionals make it so. The class of
large speculators is growing every day. Very soon
there will be as many here, comparaiively. as there
are in New Y'ork."'
It is imported that Swartz and Dupee are selling
as much corn for February as they are compelled
to purchase of the January option, and, as there is
only a slight difference in the price of the two op-
tions, the elique thus hedge themselves pretty se-
curely against a possible failure in their deal. The
last crowd of taiiers has been shaken out
by the recent decline of 4c. aud, as
speculators have given up selling January there is
practically none of the present month's option to
be obtained. Those who receive cash corn sell it
and the clique buy. there are also a few sellers
who expect grain from St. Louis, and a few brokers
are letting go a little on account of country cus-
tomers who think their grain will grade No. 2.
Provisions arc steady, with slight fluctuations in
prices. Tne situation with hog products I* rather
bearish, except when transitory local influences
cr* ate at times a feverish and uncertaiu demand,
which can hardly be called a demand, but the re
suit of an attempt to inaugurate a situation of af-
fairs which will serve the scalpers in the absence cf
an actual dctnard. Outside orders are still as
scarce as during the holidays.

THE NICKEL CHURCH.
Slajor Fenn's Church Enterprise not
a Failure——'The Baptists of Pales1
tine in 27eed cf a Church Edifice—"
"Will the Baptist Brotherhood of
Texas Come to the S&escue?
fTo the News].
Navasota, January 6.—From time to time
The News has mentioned the fact of an effort
being made to build a Baptist church-house in
Palestine by nickel contributions. As before
stated by The News, this enterprise was con-
ceived aud undertaken by the Baptist evange-
list, Rev. YV. E. Perm. The evangelist's idea
was to erect a house of worship by the aid of
nJckel contributions, and no doubt he thought
that as the mode was something new, that he
would secure the co-operation of the Baptist
ministers not ouly of Texas, but other states,
and with the united efforts of his ministerial
brethren, and tha Baptist brotherhood, the
work would soon be pushed to a satisfactory
completion, whereby the Baptists of Palestine
vrould have a church edifice that would
be a credit to the growing city, and
to the evangelist who inaugurated and the de-
nomination that fostered the undertaking. We
learn that while some of the ministers took the
matter in hand and gave the enterprise their
hearty co-operation, yet the greater part of the
ministry failed to take hold, as was expected,
and hence the idea of building the church by
nickel contributions had to be abandoned. The
Baptist brethren have been exceedingly liberal
in their nickel contributions, and yet if we stop
and think, the reader will quickly perceive
that in order to build a creditable church edi-
fice a great number of nickels are necessary to
complete The same. The News has shown a
liberal spirit in keeping the Baptist brother-
hood thoroughly acquainted with the labors of
the annual proceedings of its conventions, and
in giving full reports of meetings held by th6
evangelist, and while your correspondent dis-
likes to trespass upoc your v aluable space, yet
we would ask permission to speak to the
Baptists of Texas, through the columns of
your paper, concerning the completion of the
Nickel church at Palestine. YVe have reason
to believe that nearly all the Baptist clergy of
the State are subscribers to The News, and
the denomination would haii with plef sure
any efforts put forth by The News in le iding
a helping hand to this enterprise. Your cor-
respondent, well remembers that The News was
the only paper in Texas that gave a full
description ot the evangelist's gospel tent and
his manner of conducting religious exercises
under the same, and the matter has been the
subject of remark in the Baptists ranks; and
while grateful for courtesies shown to my de-
nomination. I feel safe in saving that
the enterprise displayed on the part of the
management of The News in giving to its
readers complete proceedings ot the annui 1
athermgs or tho different. denominations cf
Texas during the past year, evinces
journalistic enterprise of the first water. Thus
your readers have been kept thoroughly posted
concerning the work accomplished and being
accomplished by the evangelical denomina-
tions of the State. TV e ar© not only kept post-
ed as to the national and secular news or the
world, but we know what the religionists are
doing. This is what your correspondent con-
si- lors journalistic enterprise, and The News
lills the bill. Just here we will remind tho
reader that we realize that we are a little " off
the text," but as The News has seen proper
to give its readers the proceedings of the dif-
ferent denominational bodies of the State we
know of no better place to acknowledge the
same than just at this juncture. But to return
to the text. Some few day3 ago we read in the
papers ihat the foundation of the Nickel church
was in jeopardy from the effects of recent
heavy rains, and that the enterprise was
likely to prove a failure. Really, this
information, as furnished by the i mporters,
must have beeu inttnded as a ioke. r ~

The president of tho Elmira Farmers' club

milk. He thinks he got about as much profit
from the crop as if it had been devoted to the
original intent.

ticed a large quantity of brick and other ma-
terial on fcaecU to coatinue the erection of th©
walls. Ati.r making inquiries, we learned
that the Baptists of Palestine were muca in
need of a suitable house in which to worship;
and, further, that the completion of tne
Nickel church would fill a long
felt want. To my Baptist brethren I
would say that it is our duty to come now to
the rescue and help complete this church, which
is so much needed in Palestine. The writer
does not look ui>on this enterprise as building a
monument to the memory of Rev. TV. E. Penn.
His name and the good deeds for the reforma-
tion of his fellow-men wrill live on, and need
no such monument to keep his memory fresh in
our minds; but the successful completion of
this nickel church will establish a perpetual
monument in the interest of morality and re-
ligion, which will tell for good in the coming
cges. Its spires will point heavenward,
and will be a monument of our
blessed Lord and Savior; and is there one of
us who would not like to aid in erecting this
m mumentj We believe it only necessary to
st ite through The News the condition of af-
fairs and a liberal response will be the result.
We learn that Brother Penn is now visiting- in
person churchos and soliciting aid for the
Nickel chur h, and those friends who have al-
ready conti i Luted to the undertaking*^
