Silver certificates were SSHUSOc; bar silver was iOc; Mexican dollars were 4Uc. Bar sliver-at London was quiet at Zlid per ounce. The Now York stock market yesterday was a narrow and colorless affair. Professional operations were responsible for whatever movement took place and changes on this account were not well maintained, owing to the ileaire of the professionals to close up their contracts at once. The organized Luyins of the trunk lines and some other stocks, which was In evidence in the earlier rait cf the week, seemed to be entirely discontinued, and those slocks reacted on profit-taking. New York Central sold with the right to subscribe to the new stock i?sued deducted frcra the price. There were sales of these rights at from 4Ts to LVt. Union Pacific' and Northern Pacific showed some strength, ar.d there was an attempt to advanec some ol the iron and steel stocks, which proved only partly successful. Some of the prominent specialties suffered from bear pressure, notably Sugar, Brooklyn Transit and the other New York traction stocks nd the Tobacco stocks. Conditions in the money market were responsible for the dullness la the stock market. The advance In the Bank of Kngland rate Xrom 5 to 6 per cent, was not unexpected, but was a conlirmation of a disagreeable anticipation from the stock marKet point or view. It iif accepted as notitl cation of the Bank of England's poiicy to noia control or the open money market, with the purpose of keeping up rates, so as to attract funds to London for the future needs of that market, including the coming annual settlements and the requirements of the government for the South African war expenditures. Sterling" exchange, both-here and In Paris, hardened in respone to the conditions in London, wiiere, . however, the money rate reacted slightly from yester day s level. The rate for money in New York did not rise above 6 per cent. Preliminary estimates make it evident that today's bank statement will rellect a still further improvement in the condition of the banks, but the gain in cash resources will come wholly from subtreasury operations, on which account the banks have gained J2.330.0UO, including bond redemptions aTid receipts on account of gold deposited at interior points. In the interior money movement by express, on the other hand, the banks have sustained a net loss of over 52U0.0U0. Receipts from the Interior have fallen off over 300.m), while the sb.ipme-n.ts to the Interior have increased nearly $2ju.ouo. The net gain on last week's movement had aroused hopes that -the long-expected reflux of funds to this center had at last set in, but this week's figures show that the Interior demand is still unsatisfied. The bond market was quiet and prices were shaded in the majority of Issues. Total sales at par value were J1.310.WM). United States bends were unchanged in the bid price Following are the day's sharo sales and the closing 'bid prices: , Closing Stocks. Sales. Bid.

We may theorize as we choose, but the fact remains the proneness of the heart to backslide. It was so in olden times. Nehemlah had built a wall around the remnant of Israel; the law had been publicly read; the whole nation had gone down to the mourner's bench and protested they would never turn to their former life. Yet a few months, years at best, during Nehemiah's absence, and they were all backslidden again. Neglect of the Sabbath was the beginning: of It. Attendance upon the temple service became more and more Infrequent. The offerings deteriorated In quality moldy bread and sick lambs until the priests had to quit the temple from lack of support, and, going to tho levitlcal cities, begin to till tne oil. The case ended with the Induction of Tobiih, the inveterate enemy of God and Israel, into tho temple. As it haa ceased to be used for sacred purposes, they lit ted up a suite of rooms and placed them at the disposal of tfltlr wily and wicked Kitt 'the next step in the downgrade was natutal, namely from the neglect of worship to th ac tive ueseciation of the uay. iroai tl.- fonakea temple ana aiiar they turned to ininr.al lu.boi on the Lora s uay. That was a strange, sad sight that greeted Nehemiah's eyes as ne looked from the wall of Jerusalem on his lirst bunday in the Holy City after his return. Could he believes bis eyes? There, on yonuer hulsuie, were men actually treauing grapes in the stone press. In yonuer Held men were lading sheaves upon asses to bring them Inside tne walls to tne threshingfloois, and no slower was threatening, either Here at the gate, which once ecnoed to r.otes of praise, the cnafierlng of buyers and seller Is heard. Nehemiah does not temporize. He asks not. "What would be politic?" He does not propose a gradual reform. He cries: "God is governot of Israel! His word is law! The Sabbath is His day! Iho temple is His house!" lie huotles 'iobiah's furniture out of the temple in the same summary manner that Jesus did the tables of the money changers and the seats of them that sold doves, on t riday beiore sunset he shuts the gates of the city. When the buck. sters came, with tneir garden truck and rish, they were astonished to rind the gates clos.-d. Tney set up their stands outside, however. hop lng to entice the people out to buy. if any were disposed to do so, the faithful servants of Nehemlah were on hand to prevent it. When the hucksters appeared the second Sabbath a great reformer warned them if they appeared again he would lay the iron hand of the law upon them. The reformation was complete. ANALYSIS. I. Backsliding: Fact vs. theory. An ancient example. The revival under Nehemiah and Ezra. Reading the law its effect. Protestations of allegiance. Favorable conditions temple and wall built. Backslide in spite of all. II. Backsliding: Its cause. Neglect and desecration of the Sabbath. Attendance at temple falls off. Manual labor on Lord's day. III. Backsfldlng: Cured. Sabbath desecration stopped. Nehemiah's example and exhortations. His moral and legal measures. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. The Sabbath question id two thousand years old. if not six thousand! Some of our smart newspapers would have us think it Is a question incident to the progress of the nlneteneth century. They betray their ignorance of that historic volume, tho Book of Nehemiah. The same principles maintain now as in Nehemiah's day. The secularization of the day begins in the same way now as then. What cured Sabbath desecration then will cure it now. This Sabbath question is a personal question, as well as a national one. Decline in piety and usefulness usually begins with the neglect of Sabbath duties and then procedes to the active profanation of the day. The door of the heart's temple must be shut against tho stream of worldliness on the eve of the Sabbath and not opened until after the Sabbath. History of the Harper Hoaae. New York World. The present struggle of the Harpers, so long: known as the representative publishing house of America, recalls a notable history. In 1S17 the first harper publication was issued. James Harper, founder of the firm of "printers and publishers," was then only twenty-two years old. He and a younger brother, John, left their father's farm, at Newtown, L. 1., and apprenticed themselves to a printer. When their term of service expired they began business for themselves as J. & J. Harper, and in 15 they established themselves in Cliff street. Joseph and Fletcher Harper, yo---cer brothers, served an apprenticeship to. the older members of the firm, and in ls23 were admitted to it. and thus was established the house of Harper & Hros.. Every one of them could set type, run a press and direct any of the mechanical operations. It was Fletcher Harper who persuaded his brothers to establish the magazine, the weekly and the llaxar, which were soon very popular. Just Think! Washington Post. Consider tho feelings of a man who has a baby named after a deteriorated hero.

CASH DEMAND IS POOR

WHEAT SAGS OFF TIinCE-QUAU-Failure of a New York Firm Helps Depress Corn Oats Are Weak and Provision Are Barely Steady. CHICAGO, Dec. 1. Wheat, depressed by a poor cash demand and a bearish Modern Miller report, closed weak at ic off from Wednesday's close. Corn weakened with wheat, closing &c lower. Oats closed Uc lower. Provisions closed a trifle higher. At first to-day the wheat market derived a bit of steadiness from the light deliveries, of the contract article about 200,000 bushels tho strength of Minneapolis and repoFted damages from fly In Michigan. .May opened a shade over Wednesday at GiSSSTic and early touched 70c. Business was stagnant and the market turned speedily weak upon the receipt of a discouraging Modern Miller report and the lack of outside demand. The flour trade was reported anything but satisfactory, the weather was good for fall planted crops and the frost was said to have killed the Hessian fly. The slump thus started was boosted along as many stop orders were touched, thus putting considerable long wheat on the market. May sagged down to GSTfc&CSc, closing ic lower at 69c. Tho failure of McCord & Co. in New York had little effect here. Clearances here were Sil.OO") bushels. Local receipts were seventy cars, of which twenty-eight graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 919 cars, against 740 last week and 1,U3 a year ago. Primary receipts were 1.1CG.400 bu, cunipareo witn l,li-,oA) last year. New YorK reported eight loads taken for export. Lorn opened steady on alleged bullish weather and light receipts, turned weak, depressed by tne heaviness of wheat and to a degree by the McCord failure. L-eliv-erics, in view of the small stocKS, were liberal ut about 75,000 bu. Local receipts were Zil cars. Clearances were oGO.OOo bu; primary receipts, 4,4u0 bu. May sold from rUc to c, closing ic down at 22ic. Trade was slow. Oats yielded with corn. Trade was light and the May range only 4c. Deliveries were 100,000 bu, a small amount, which indicates a let-up of the demand. Western offerings were limited, but seaboard demands were poor. Clearances were 17.000 bu; receipts, ZfS cars. May ranged from 2o:iic to 2ic, closing 4c down at zsic. Provisions were steady, supported by a light supply of hogs, higher prices and a good demand for products. Onerings were small. The market was dull and fluctuations were narrow. May pork sold from f..53 to $y.60, closing 2c higher at 53.57; May lard sold from Jo.SO to $5.32 and rhivori 'a shade ur at $o.S0Io.32lV.

The Eoston Commercial Bulletin to-morrow will say of the wool market: The London public sales conllrmed the level reached at private sales with an advance of 15 per cent, since the last auctions. Dollar wool has come in Boston for the lirst time since 1SS4. A line of Tasmania sold this week at a dollar, the scoured pound. The scarcity of merino wool over the world Is sending Canadian users of South African wools to this market for California, and anything cheap in the shape of burry and defective finds a ready purchaser in the exporter. Some short Oregon goes abroad this week at a scoured cost of 60c. The heavy stocks left here from the. glut of 1S31 have prevented the market from rising relatively as high as foreign markets, but the rise is swift enough when speculators in one month realize pronts as they have this week on scoured super of 10c a pound. Sales are largely territory, Oregon and unwashed, with a smart demand for l,i-blood Indiana and Missouri. Quarter bloods have advanced 4c the scoured pound this week. The sales for the week are 11,311,000 lbs domestic and 757.000 lbs foreign, a total of 12,078,000 for this week, against a total of 12.3T2.000 lbs last week, and a total 3.487,000 lbs for the corresponding week last year. The receipts to date show an increase of J65.024 bales domestic and a decrease of 2ij,S20 bales foreign against last year.
