SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE CLERGY OF WEST TEXAS DIOCESE ASSEMBLE HERE Episcopalian Council Convenes In Its Sixth Annual Session for Five Days. BISHQP JOHNSTON’S REPORT Stresses Necessity for Chris tian Unity and the Desire for an Open Pulpit. The sixth annual council of the Epis copal church of the Diocese of West Texas is in session at St. Mark’s church. This afternapn there is a meeting of the Woman's auxiliary presided over by Bishop Johnston, and this evening there will be a sermon by Rev. W. H. Meyer of San Angelo, to the Brother hood of St. Andrew and the Daughters of the King. The sessions will last five days. Bishop Johnston said nothing this morning in his address to indicate that it was contemplated to form another diocese in the west Texas district. He noted the change of elergy during the year and the state of the church in the diocese and dwelt at some length on Christian unity. He commended the laymen’s movement, saying it made for the spread of Christianity and the uni fication of those holding widely diver gent religious beliefs. Words of com mendation were also given the diocese schools, among them St. Mary’s West Texas and St. Phillip’s Industrial school. The bishop endorsed Canon 19, com mealy called the “open pulpit canon.” This canon has been up for discus sion time after time in the councils of the church nnd the bishop stated that he hoped it would be retained. It provides for giving permission to pas tors of other churches to address the congregation from pulpits in Episcopal churches. The proposed preamble to the constitution, written by the late Dr. Huntington, of Grace church, New York, was also discussed.

MARKETS OF THE CITY, THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD COTTON PRODUCE S CATTLE SLUMP IS OH AI STOCK YARDS Buyers Eager for Arrivals, Which Have Fallen Off Con siderably—Market Bare. UNION STOCKYARDS. May UK—The market this morning has been slow and a slump was noted so far as receipts arc con ' cerned. The buyers have been eager for the small amount of arrivals and the market is practically clear. The price* on the stock in the market this morning have been strong, considering the class of cattle. The total receipts today were 13 hogs, bringing from 8 to 9 cents; 86 cattle, selling for 3% cents to $4.35, and 26 calves, taken at 4% to 6 cents. The slump is expected to keep up during the rest of this week and if there is anything in store for the live stock commission men they have not as yet been advised of it. The only feature of yesterday's market was the sale of nine hogs brought in by Henry Holroyd of Bexar county to the Armour Pack ing company, averaging 225 pounds, at 9 rents per pound. The total receipts were 12 hogs, selling for 8 to 9 cents: 94 cattle. ■ % to 4 % cents, and 42 calv-ea, 3 to 4 % cents. The market hold up w’ell with a good grade of stock.

That part of yesterday's weather forecast predicting frost in portions of th.' cotton belt having failed to -Materialize, and that part relating to beneficial rains having been fully realized, the opening of the market whs 6 to 12 points lower than last night’s cloning and for the greater part of the morning piicee were unsettled and inclined to weakness. Liverpool, after a four days' holiday, opened 7 to 9 points lower than last Friday's close, and then, following the decline on this side, eased off to a net declinq of 15 to 10 points. Spots were 8 points lower, on sales of 12.000 bales. After selling off to a net loss of 8 to 14 points, tho market was supported by the bulls and this, together with covering by shorts, caused a recovery of all the early decline, prices at tho 11 o'clock call at&nding 1 high er on July, 4 up on August snd 1 to 2 higher on the witter deliveries. The morning a weather map showed gen eral rains ov?r the southwest especially in districts where it was badly needed. About the only bullish feature of the day's trade was the posting of the semi weekly movement at noon, showing ship ments of 28,000 bales at thirteen principal towns against receipts of only 9000 bales, and this had the effect of steadying prices, which advanced through the former high level of the morning, but it only made a better selling basis for the shorts, who. during the afternoon, made a drive against the summer positions, which suffered a break of nearly 30 points from tho best figures of the morn ing, and new crops recoded to the former point of the day. A message from a well known house in N 'w York stated that the bulls not only were not supporting the near-by options, but were depressing the market with the view of at tracting buying spinners. Both May and July in New York broke through the 15 cent mark. August sold off 28 points from the high. September went 18 points under the best figures and at one time the winter months were 14 to 16 lower than tht top of the morning, and although there were frequnt rallies on covering, the market showed very little resistance to the selling ' which was in evidence all the afternoon. The close was 32 points lower on May, 29 lower on July, 22 on August, 20 on Beptam । ber and 9to 11 lower on later deliveries. New York spot a were 35 points tower at 15.40; quotations at the south were gener ally an eighth under yesterday's prices. Receipts at the porta were 15,369 bales, against 18.478 last year. Liverpool in the morning is due 10 lower on July and 1% down on October. hTe comparative steadiness of the new crops in th« face- of improved conditions, in dieates 0 g there ia a ocnsiderabh* out standing tsMort interest in those poaitions.
