per cent of the total cotton crop had been
marketed, the year before last 95. ,S per
cent, and the year before the latter 94.4$,
per cent. The amount brought into sight
after May 15 last year was 278,189 bales,
year before last 318,790, and the same time
in 1893 it was 730,OS*.
Foreign exports for the week have been

Stocks at the seaboard and twenty lead
ing southern interior centers have de-
creased during the week 23.834 bales

Dun's Trails* Review.
New York. May 15.—li. Q. Dun's weekly
review of trade, which issues to-morrow,
will say:
It is now the middle of May. too late for
business to change materially until the
prospects of coming crops are assured and
definite shape lias boon given to the presi-
dential contest by the conventions. Until
the future is more clear there is a prudent
disinclination to produce much beyond or-
ders. or lo order beyond immediate and cer-
tain needs, it this waiting spirit prevails
two mouths longer it will crowd into the
last half of the year an enormous business,
if the outltMfk then is good. For the pres-
ent then* is less business on the whole than
a year ago. though iti some branches more,
and the dolay following months of depros
ston is to many trying, and causes numer
ous failures.
An attempt was made to manufacture ex
citement in cotton out of the government
report, but the price closed exactly as it be
gan the week, and the port receipts havu
been actually larger than last year. All
current movements based on the assump-
tion that the quantity used in manufacture
has been or is now at a maximum rate are
disapproved by the closing of many mills
lor want of demand, and the gener al effort
to reduce wages, which has caused some
strikes.
Wheat is unchanged in spite of all ru-
mors. and the Atlantic exports, flour
eluded, which wire last year gieut' i than
western receipts for two weeks (3,059.4S4
bushels against 2,917.305 received) have this
year been only half as large, l,"90.414 bush-
els exported against 4.079,239 western re-
ceipts.
The most fortunate of the chief industries
at present is tho hoot and shoe manufac-
ture which is not only shipping t<» custom-
ers within 0 per cent oH the la.ruest number
of cases ever forwarded in the lirst half of
Alay. but is getting out many new orders,
and there are many urgent requests to an-
ticipate orders for June and July delivery,
indicating that distribution to consumers
has much outrun expectations.
The iron and steel industry, on the other
hand, is pronounced as dull as it ever has
been in its whole history at rittsburg, in
part because of doubt about the mainte-
nance of prices recently advanced, and the
demand is so small that in spite of such ad-
vances. prices average 1.2 per cent lower
for the week, Bessemer pig Indng no higher
than it was three months ago, at 112.65.
while No. 1 anthracite is also lower, 112.50
lit New York.
Sales of wool have been a little larger the
past week. 3,543.200 pounds at the three
chief markets, but for two weeks only
0.539,200 pounds, against over 11,000.000
pounds last year and in 1892. The large
drives in clothing have chared out stocks
of some ready-made concerns, but check
new business, and the general disposition is
to postpone orders as far as possible.
Failures for the week have been 224 in the
United States, against 211 last year, and 33
In Canada against 37 last year.
Rrailstreet's Trade Review.
New York, May 15.—Brad street's to-mor-
row will say: The general trade through-
out the country remains quiet. Whole-
sale merchants continue conservative, ami
the distribution of general merchandise is
almost of a hand to mouth character. South
and southwest business remains dull and
featureless—unchanged from last week. At
larger eastern centers travelers are pre-
pared to start out. but unfavorable features
an recent w< « ks with respect to cotton and
woolen and steel and iron industries show
no changes. Collections in most directions
continue unsatisfactory Concessions have
been mode in prices of wool, and nuinulae-
turers of cotton goods complain that prices
are below a parity with cost of raw ma-
terial. I'treasonable weather has had an
unfavorable inilucneo on sales of clothing
and other staples, while labor disturbances
at some western cities have checked de-
mand.
Rrndstreet's Financial Review.
New York. May 15.—Brad si root's finan-
cial review to-morrow will says: Specula-
tive activity has almost ceased. The trad-
ing in stocks lias been confined to the four
walla ot the board room, and involves only
the smaller class of the professional ope-
rators. The fluctuations hava. in oonse-
quence, lw < n unimportant, and wit h no de-
cided tendency or feature of special in-
terest. The somewhat exaggerated !'• ars
of a rupture with Spain died out after pro-
ducing a slight bearish impression, and so
far as the market can be said to have dis-
played any tendency during the latter part

Wool Market.
Boston, Mass., May 15.—The Boston Com-
mercial Bulletin will say of the wool mar-
ket to-morrow: The sale of quarter-blood
combings at the lowest price on record has
boon followed by a sale of 100,000 pounds
quarter-blood at 13ȣo this week, the low-
est price ever touched. Fine Dakota wool
has sold at 9c. New, fine, eight-months
Texas sold at 9c, or 30c clean, another ex-
ceedingly low figure. Americans are doing
nothing in the London auctions, which are
ak with heavy withdrawals. The goods
trade and the wool trade are alike badly
scared over the financial outlook. This
terror is likely to be dissipated in June.
Nevr York Dry ta>oils.
New York, May 15.—The volume of busi-
ness for the day turned out, much better
than was indicated at the opening of the
market, as mail and wire orders called for
some good assortments of colored and
fancy cottons and all kinds of goods adapt
ul to summer dress wear. Printing cloths
quiet but firm at 2 9-10c.
SEALY BAPTIST CHURCH.
Resolutions Declaring Against Asso-
ciations and Mission Roards.
Scaly, Tex., May lO.-The Scaly Baptist
church, at a special conference to-day,
passed the following resolutions as to the
manner of carrying on mission work:
Whereas Baptists have, from the institu-
tion of the church of Jesus Christ unto
the present day, ever held the Bible, the
word of God. as the only rule for their
faith and practice; and
Whereas Clod has exhorted us to demand
a "thus sayeth the Lord" for every action;
and
Whereas he promises great blessings to
all who seek to please him. regardless of
what man may say or do; and
Whereas we ilnd, according to the teach-
ings of the Bible* that direct church re-
sponsibility in carrying out the great com-
mission of our Lord to preach the gospel
to every creature in enjoined: and
Whereas the present plan among the ma-
jority of Baptist churches of carrying out
the commission to preach the gospel to
every creature, through conventions and
associations and their boards, is without
ilixlnc authority and sanction; and
Whereas the money paid into these mis-
sion boards is wastefully expended in high
salaried soliciting agents and other salaried
officers of said conventions and their
boards, and various other expenses by car-
rying it through unnecessary channels in
order to at last deliver it to the missiona-
ries on the field; and
Whereas we believe that the major part
of our Internal confusion anil trouble as
churches of Jesus Christ and Baptists is
traceable to this unserlntural way of carry-
ing on our mission work: and
Whereas we believe that our only sure
way of continuing New Testament churches
and preserving their democracy, indepen-
dence and sovereignty under Jesus'Christ,
our prophet, priest and king, is in turning
away from all of man's methods of church
governments, and of carrying out the com-
mission to preach the gospel to every creat-
ure. and following only the direct com-
mands of God; therefore be it
Resolved: 1. That we declare against con-
ventions and associations and their boards
as means to carry the gospel to a lost
world.
2. That we adopt the gospel mission
(Bible) plan to carry out the commission to
pjeaeli the gospel to every creature.
3. That we call for h grand gospel mission
mass meeting of all churches and indi-
viduals favoring the gospel mission plan,
said meeting to begin on June 10, 1896, and
to continue four days.
We believe that it would be for the good
of tho cause that said meeting be held at
some point in central Texas, but should
no church thus centrally located invite the
meeting by the 25th of this month (May),
and so notify us, then Scaly church will
issue her invitation for the meeting. Tho
objects of the meeting:
1. To counsel together about God's work
and God's ways of working.
2. To create enthusiasm in God's work
and God's ways of working.
3. To encourage one another by seeing
and knowing "who is on the Lord's side."
4. To pray together for the spirit's power
upon us in tho work of the Lord.

Church Clerk.
Address all communications to the pastor,
C. T. Sanders, Scaly. Tex.
Lagrange, Tex., May 14.—Fayette county,
the home of 40,000 as brave and law-abiding
a people as ever drew a breath of liberty,
is in a stew, and it is all about a violated
law. The Sunday law was never enforced
in Fayette county. The question was never
seriously agitated until a Methodist
minister dropped in and stirred up "the
boys." Now the grand jury has met. and
the preacher who has been lambasting 'the
boys" on the public square every Sabbath
afternoon has kept his word and called on
tho grand jury. The members of the grand
jury have lived in Fayette county always.
They can't realize the idea of indicting the
boys for violating a law which has be-
come obsolete in the county. Grand juries
in Fayette county never hesitate to indie
for other offenses against the stafute
sheriff, district and county attorneys
jurors all combined don't let thieve.-
murderers, rape fiends and perjurer;-
in the county long. But the average citi-
zen of Fayette county will ot it Sunday
Afternoon take his wife and children in ins
conveyance and attend a "fesl." where
sweet, chaste music makes joyous the
breast ot lassie and lad and rejuvenates
the old. A good, cool glass of beer always
goes well on such an occasion, or il there
is no "test" to make merry, they are wont
to meet together and play a friendly game
of "skat." For years the good people of
Fayette county lived thus, liberal in
thought, in art and in spirit, the doors of
her httle towns ever open to the visitor,
with a clean, pure, law-abiding record.
The trm? status can be gleaned, from the
following communication which the grand
jury sent to the Judge anent the question
and the charge in which the court replied.
The grand jury submitted the following
statement to the judge:
We, the grand jury, find that our so-
called Sunday law, now a part of our stat-
utes, is now and has been for ten or moro
years openly violated by nearly all the
merchants throughout the county, so much
so that all prominent witnesses brought
before us when asked, 'Do you know of
any violations of the law in your neigh-
borhood." invariably answer, 'No.' although
they know that the Sunday law is openly
violated, proving thereby that they do not
look on the selling ot goods, etc., on Sun-
day as a violation of the law.
"Now if the grand jury should take up
these cases we must lind indictments
against at least 500 different persons, which
would revolutionize business in the county,
besides putting a lot of good, otherwise,
law-abiding citizens to lots of trouble and
expense. Now while we wish to see all
our laws executed, we do not think it jus-
tice to indict people for an offense which
the law heretofore has seemed to license
and which public opinion lias so far li-
censed. Now, we as a body would ask your
honor to inform us whether or not we.
could delay action in this matter by re-
questing these violators of the law to
cease to so violate this law hereafter, by
requesting them to do so, urging them to
observe the law, and for our officers
throughout the county to enforce this law,
and In the event they pay no attention to
the law, It to devolve upon the next grand
jury to stop this open violation of the Sun-
day laws by indicting all guilty parties."
Judge Teichinueller in reply to the above
submitted tho following:
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: Your
statement of the subject concerning which
you request further instruction is one of
great importance, and it requires v- ry
thoughtful and thorough consideration.
You state that what you designate us the
"so-called Sunday law" is being violated
in all parts of tills county. .Many places
of business are notoriously kept open on
Sunday, and witnesses who, as you sup-
pose. should know ot such violations, em-
phatically disclaim any such knowledge.
This may imply either that they answer
evasively or that they really do not know
particular facts as to such places of busi-
ness being open for traffic sufficient to
port an indictment. There is unque
l»lv a difference between knowin,
eral, notorious practice and
as to particular places,
sale.
But aside from this difficulty you should
consider tho whole subject in all its bear-
ings. li is a well Known and Indisputable,
fact that no law can be properly enfor. ed
unless public opinion indorses it. in other
words, law should reflect tho real public
sentiment of the community it is intended
to govern, and if it is in conllict with preva-
lent views of right ami wrong its attempt-
ed enforcement will occasion excitement
and stir up trouble and commotion.
In support of this view you state, as the
result of your investigation of the subject
so far, that i'or more than ten years it has
been a general custom in this county to
disregard tho Sunday law. Slucq no one
iuus been prosecuted for violations of this
law for such length of time it is equivalent
to a license the public has given the mer-
chants and dealers to ignore this law. You
say that it H repugnant to your sense of
justice suddenly to indict persons for acts
sanctioned by public opinion. You stale
that 5oo persons or more would have to be
prosecutt d if this in\ cstigalion is com-
menced. in this - »nncetion another fact
is entitled to our attention. Kxperlcnce
teaches that wle never spasmodic efforts
are made to nnfor--e a law not indorsed by
tins people a few individuals are victimized
and in a short time the excitement is parsed
established customs will regain their force,
and the habits and practices of the people
will glide back to their old accustomed
channels.
You inquire whether, in order to avoid all
these deplorable results, you may ignore
past offenses, but in your general report
for publication request all the merchants
and dealers, from now on, to observe the
law, and that future grand juries should
indict persons who repeat these offenses
after they lia\" rceohed this warning.
1 do not think that this course can be
pursued by you. It is your province to
indict persons for the violations of
law; you have no right to exercise
pardoning power; this belongs to the
ocutlvo department. Nor have you
power to establish a public policy,
legislature
community
jurious agitation and excitement and that
valid convictions can not !«• se<aired, it is
necessary for you to obtain witnesses who
testify that certain persons at particular
tiiru keat their places open on Sunday for
traffic, and actually sold what \er the ar-
ticles tin y <leai in may be.
The subject is one of importance because
it pivsems conflict of legislative acts with
cle rished customs of tin- people. Firmly
established public opinions r an expressed
statute is to be violated, it is your plain
duty to enforce the law provided that you
have legal evidence before you, which, if
properly weighed, is stiff:- i at to support
convictions. 11 not. you r.-ise your dis-
cretion. wisely by avoiding the disturbing
effects of useless indictments. I have thus.
1 believe, fully responded t" th question
submitted by you to the court.

Springfield, 111., May 14.—Tho most dar-
ing bank robbery which has ever occurred
in this part of Illinois was perpetrated at
noon to-day at Buffalo, thirteen miles east
of this city, the cashier being gagged and
$11,000 carried off by the robbers. The bank
of Buffalo is owned by A. A. lMckrell & Co.
This noon two masked men entered the
bank just as Carl Kloppenburg, the cashier,
was locking up to go to dinner, lie was the
only person in the bank at the time. The
robbers caught him from behind, bound and
gagged him. and then took all the money in
the bank, amounting to $11,000. \Y. 1\ Daw-
son, who entered the bank some time later,
saw Kloppenburg lying on the floor bound,
and released him. Kloppenburg could give
but a meager description of the robbers. It
is thought they are experts at the business.
The country has been scoured by mounted
men without success.

Rrenham, Tex., May 14.—Two shots wero
toms in conflict with siadi public policy of
the state. And it :s never proper i'or courts
to say to the people, "l'loase do not \io-
late this law." Courts only inilict penalties
for violation of law. Private individuals
may use persuasion and exercise tills kind
of lnllu« nee, but courts should never do so.
This subject w hich you have not court* d
confronts y a inexorably, and it has to l>e
dealt with fearlessly and right. You have
largo discretionary powers, but this has
also its limitation--, li you. lor instance,
conclude from your investigation that a
person has committed an offense- say. bur-
glary, embezzlement or theft but you also
find that the legal evidence accessible is
not sufllcieul to justify conviction, m such
case you will properly decline to indict, llut
the question now before you Is different,
Yo i say these offenses ar<> palpably com-
mitted. H there is sufficient evidence to
support, convictions it would be an abuse
of your discretionary power to fail to in-
diet.
in this connection other contingencies are-
involved From experience we know thai it
is almost impracticable to get witnesses to
know and state facts in- detail such as are
indispensable to sustain a conviction. It is
also to be expected that petit juries in the
courts having linal jurisdiction ot such
cases will acquit, whatever the testimony
before them may be.
1 do not think, however, that such pros-
pect should influence your conduct. 1: ;s
your duty to enforce th • law as yea a ad
it. That others may fall to do their duty
does not justify jou to decline to do yo-ir
duty. We should enforce all laws wii-
we indorse ti.em or not. To discriminate
or to enforce some laws and nogU. ; otleus
leads to anarchy.
I President Grant has sail "The auvst
! way to secure the repeal of a. bad law i
j to enforce it rigidly." This sounds well.
but it is not true. A largi section of our
| state Is opposed to this character of lea-
I islation. and if the peoph bee- had die
i power to repeal some odious features ot
•' they would do

Tlio proprietors of Paine's celery com- j

virtue of this wonderful remedy nor the as- j
tontahlng character of the indorsements it
has received.
Tho greatest of all blood purifiers and re- j
storers of nervous erverjry. this remedy !

This remedy, which has been a blessing ]
to thousands upon thousands of homes in j
every state and city of tho country, which j
has been energetically indorsed by the |
ablest physicians, which lias received tho t-
sands of heartfelt testimonials from vvonu n
and men in every station of life, and lias
been publicly recommended without solici-
tation by persons of such high character I
that they are honored by tho whole nation— j
this remedy that makes people well, has re- i
eeived so many letters ill its praise v.ithin |
the last two or three months, coming in j
every mail from every section of the eoun- i

Herald in Chicago, have each of them,
within a month, devoted from one to three
pages at a time to the most remarkable
canvass ever made of the druggists in the
great cities. And their bent reporters, un-
prejudiced one way or another, have found
that the druggists are meeting not enl>
a larger demand than ever before for this
one remedy, but that this demand-bccause
