He was burled alt Ebenezer church-Tuesday evening. The deceased was 83 years old, and leaves many friends and relatives to mourn his departure. Representative Bailey, of Davie, speaking of ttoe leg islature yesterday, said: "There are two bills I Wave been thinking of intro ducing. I don't know which one I will introduce first. One 4s to repeal every bill that has passd during this legisla ture. The Other is to sell the capitol and rent out tbe penitentiary land go home. I'll swear I never saw anything- like ft." Philadelphia Record: A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes: The address before the con gress of mothers which seemed to excite most interest and to elicit most ap- plause was that of .Mrs. Sallie A. Cot ton, of Falkland, N. C. Mrs. Cotton is the "lady of the manor" on a planta tion of about 5,000 acres of land along the Tar river. Mrs. Cotton' b address was full of good sense and iparkling with wit. "I am not," she said, "in favor of female suffrage. There is a great demand for It by some, and the time may come when this may x ad ded to our other responsibilities. But we must never fail to realize that tbe training of the voter is a far more im portant duty than voting."

Friends then interposed and prevented a personal encounter beteen the two members. Sutton, of New v Hanover, made himself conspicuous, and did all he could to precipitate the trouble. Mr. Sutton will probably resign Monday and qualify at once. Hot it is clear that he can have no judicial powers till April 1. Until that time no criminal courts for the trial of criminal causes can be held in his district unless held by the judge of !the western orimtoal circuit court under the direction of the trovernor.

A FESTIVE RELIGION. REV. DR. TALMAGE INVITES THE WORLD TO A BANQUET. 1 Ha Take :a a Text, "SrU g Hither the fatted Calf," and Preach, an inspiring Sermon on the Joy of a Saved Sonl A Grand Peroration. ' The gladnesses of religion are set forth by Dr. Talmage In his sermon under the figure of a bannuet, and all the worldls Invited to be guests. The text is Luke xv, 23, "Bring hither the fatted calf and kill It." ' , In all ages of the world it has been cus tomary to celebrate joyful events by fes tivitythe signing of treaties, the proc lamation of peace, the Inauguration of presidents, the coronation of kings, the Christmas, the marriage. However much on other days of the year our table may have a stinted supply, on Thanksgiving day there must be something bounteous. And all the comfortable homes of Christ endom ave at some time-elebrated Joy ful events by banquet and festivity. Something has happened on the old home stead greater than anything that has ever happened before. A favorite son whom the world supposed would become a vaga bond and outlaw forever has got tired of sightseeing and has returned to his fath er's house. . The world said he never would come back. Ine old man always said his son would come back. He had been looking for him day after day and year after year, he knew he would come back. Now, having returned to his fath er's house, the father proclaims cele bration. There is in the paddock a calf that has been kept up and fed to utmost capacity, so as to be ready for some oc casion of -Joy. that might come along. Ah, there never would be a grander day on the old homestead than this day. Let the butchers da their work and the house keepers bring in to the table the smoking meat. The musicians will take their places, and the gay groups will move up and down the floor. All the friends ana neighbors are gathered in, and an extra supply is sent out to the table of the ser vants. The father presides at the table and says grace and thanks God that his long absent boy Is home again. Oh, how they missed him! How glad they are to have him back! One brother stands pouting at the back door and says:" This is a great ado about nothing. This bad boy should have been chastised Instead of greeted. Veal is too good for him." But the father says, "Nothing Is too good; nothing is good enough." There sits the young man, glad at the hearty reception, but a shadow of sorrow flitting across his brow at the re membrance of the trouble he had seen. All ready now. Let the covers lift. Music He was dead, and he is alive again. He was lost, and he is found. By such bold imagery does the Bible set forth the mer rymaking when a soul comes home to Go. THE JOT OF A CONVERT. First of all, there is the new convert's joy. c is no tame thing ' to become a Christian. The most tremendous moment in a man's life is when he surrenders , himself to God. The grandest time on the '.father's homestead is when the boy comes 'back. Among the great throng Who In the, parlors of our church professed 1 Christ one nhrht was a voi.ne- man who next morning rane mv doorheTl and saw- tsir, l cannot contain mvself with the joy I feel. I came here this morning to express it. I have found more joy in five minutes in serving God than in all the years of my prodigality, and I came to say so," You have seen perhaps a man running for his temporal liberty and the officers of the law after him,, and you saw him escape, or afterward you hear the judge had pardoned him, and how great was the glee of that rescued man. but it Is a very tame thing that, com pared with the running for one's ever lasting life, the terrors of the law after him and Christ coming in to pardon. and bless and rescue and save. You remember John Bunyan in his great story tells how the pilgrjm put his fingers to his ears and ran, crying. "Life life, eternal life!" A poor car driver some time ago, after years having had to strug gle to support his family, suddenly was informed that a large inheritance was his, and there was a joy amounting to bewil derment, but that is a small thing com pared with the experience of one when he has put In his hands the title deed to the joys, the raptures, the splendors of heaven, and he can truly say, "Its man sions are mine; its temples are mine: its songs are mine: its God is mine!" Oh, It is no tame thing to become a Christian! It Is a merrymaking: it is the killing of the fatted calf; it Is a jubilee. You know the Bible never compares it to a funeral. but always compares It to something de lightful. It is more apt to be compared to a banquet than anything else. It is com pared In the Bible to water bright, flash- j ing water, to the morning roseate, fire- I worked, mountain transfigured morning. ! I wish I could today take all the Bible expressions about pardon and peace and life and comfort and hope and heaven and twist them Into one garland and put It on the brow of the humblest child of God in the assemblage and cry, "Wear it, wear it -now, wear it forever, son of God. daughter of the Lord God Almighty!" Oh. the joy of the new convert! Oh, the gladness of the Christian service! You have seen sometimes a man in a religious assembly get up and give his experience. Well. Paul gave his expef ience. He aroe in the presence ef two churches the church on earth and the church Jn heav en and he said. "Now, this is my ex perience, sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich: having noth ing, yet possessing all things." If the people in this house knew the joys of the Christian religion, they would all pass over into the kingdom of Oud the next moment. When Daniel Sandeman was dying of cholera, his attendant said. "Have you much pain?" "Oh." he re plied, "since I found the Lord I have never had any pain except sin." Then they said to him, "Would you like to send a message to your friends?" "Yes, I would. Tell them that only last night the love of Jesus came rushing into my soul like the surges of the sea. and I had to cry out: "Stop. Lord, It Is enough: stop. T.rd. enough!'" Oh. the joys of this Christian religion ! Just pass over from those tame joys in which you are Indulg-, ing, ioys or this world, into the raptures i of the gospel. The world cannot satisfy you: you have found that cut. Alexand er, longing for other worlds to conquer, and vet drowned in his own bottle: Byron whipped by disquietudes around the world: . Voltaire cursing his own soul while all the streets of Paris were ap plauding him: Henrv II consuming with hatred against poor Thomas a Becket all illustrations of the fact that this world canpot make a man happy. The very man who poisoned the. pommel of the saddle on which ueen Flisabeth rode shouted In the street. "God save the queen!" One moment the world applauds and the next moment the woild anathe matizes. Oh. come over into this greater iov, this .sublime solace, this maenifleent beautitude! The night after the battle of Shiloh. and there were thousands of wounded on the fie'd. and the ambyjances had not come,, one Christian sold'er. lying there a dying under the starlight, began to sing: . ; There is a land of pure delight. And when he eame to the next line there were scores of voices singing: Where saints Immortal reign. The song was caught up all through the fields among the wounded until It was said there were at least 10.050 wounded men uniting their voices as they came to the versej There everlasting spring abides And never withering flowers. 'Tis but a narrow stream divides This heavenly land from ours. A MOMENTOUS STEP. Oh, it is a great religion to live by and a great religion to die by! There is only one heart throb between you . and that religion. Just look Into the face of your pardoning God and surrender yourself for time and for eternity, and he Is yours, and heaven is "yours, and all yours. Some of you, like the young man of the text, have gone far astray. I know, not the history, hut vou know it. you know it. When a young man went forth into life, the legend says, his guardian angel- went ionn witn him, and, getting him into a neld, tne guardian angel swept a circle clear around where the young- man stood. It was a circle of virtue and nonor, ana ne foes came down, but were obliged to halt at -the circle. They could not pass. Jtiut one day ' a temptress, with diamonded hand, stretched forth and crossed that circle with the hand, and the tempted soul took it, and by that one fell grip was brought beyond the circle and died. Some of vou have stepped oeyona mat circle. Would you not like this day, by the grace of God to step back? This, I say to you. Is your hour of salvation. There was in the closing nours or uueen.Anne wnat la called the clock scene. Flat down on the pillow in helpless sickness, sne eouia not move her head or move her hand. She was waiting for the hour when the minis ters of state should gather In angry con test and, worried and wornout by the coming hour and in momentary absence of the nurse, in the power the strange power which delirium, sometimes gives one she arose and stood in front of the clock, and stood there watching the clock when the . nurse returned. The nurse said, "Do you see anything peculiar about tnat ciockt . sne maqe no answer, but soon died. There Is a clock scene in every history. If some' of you would rise from the bed of lethargy and came out from your (delirium of sin and look an the clock of your destiny this mement. yeu would see and hear ,semething you have net seen or heard before, and every tick of the minute, and every stroke of the hour, and every swing of the pendulum would say, " now. now. now. now: ' on. eome'nome to your Father's house! Come home. 0 prodigal, from the wilderness! Come nontej come home! But -1 - notice that when the prodigal cama there -was the f ther's iov. Ha AA nt jrert-lblm wttlti any formal "How do you aor ne ata. not come out and nayi you are unnt to enter, no ana wash In the trough by the well, and then you can Tome in. We have had enough trouble! with you. Ah. no! When the proprie tor of that estate proclaimed festival, it was an outburst of a father's love and a. father's joy. God is your father. I have; not much sympathy with the description of God I sometimes hear, as thougn he were a Turkish sultan, hard and unsym pathetic and listening not to the cry pf; his subjects. A man told tne he saw in one of the eastern lands a king riding along, and two men were in alteration,: and one charged the other with having: eaten his rice, and the king said, "Then: slay the man, and by post mortem ex- amination find whether he has eaten the rice," And he was slain. Ah, the crueltys of a scene like that! Our Cod is not a sultan, not a despot, but a Father, kind,; loving, forgiving, and he makes all heaven ring again when a prodigal comes back. I "I have no pleasure," he says, "In the death of him that dieth." All may be saved. If a man does not get to heaven,: it is because he will not go theie. No difference the color, no difference the his-; tory, no difference the antecedents, no difference the sin. When the white horse 3 j of Christ's victory are brought , out to celebrate the eternal triumph, you may; ride one of them, and, as God is greater j than all, his joy is greater, and when a soul comes back there is In his heart thej surging of an infinite ocean of gladness. and to express that gladness it takes all the rivers of pleasure, all the thrones of i pomp and all the ages of eternity. It Is a Joy deeper than all depth, and higher j . V. .. n oil t,.i,ht .m '( -! - all uritK jj ill n i i a,, ii... ii nit , v. . , i i ... ..i.. iJtlHJ ,a.lCl LIlu.Il ull lUilUCUOIL J . L U 1 steps,- it undergirds. it outweighs all the united splendor and joy 'of the universe, and who can tell what God's joy is? You remember reading the story of a king who on some great day of festivity scat tered silver and gold among the people, who sent valuable presents to his courti ers, but methinks, when a soul comes back. God is so glad that to express his joy he flings out new worlds into space and kindles up new suns and rolls among the white robed anthems of the redeemed a greater halleluiah, while with a voice that reverberates among the mountains of frankincense and is echoed back from the everlasting gates he cries,. "This my son was dead, and he s alive again!'' THE HOME COMING, At the opening of the exposition in New Orleans I saw a Mexican flutist, and he played the solo, and then afterward the eight or ten bands of music, accompanied by the great organ, came in, but "the sound of that one flute, as compared with all the orchestras, was greater than all the combined joy ef the universe when compared with the resounding heart of Almisrhty God. For ten years a father "went three times a day to the depot. His Son went of! In aggravating circum stances, but the father said, "He will come back." The strain was too mach, and his mind parted, and three times "a day the father went. In the early morn ing he watched the train, its arrival, the stepping out of the passengers and then the departure of the train. At noon he was there again watching the advance of the train, watching the departure. At night he was there again watching the coming, watching the going, for sten years. He was sure his son would come back. God has been watching and wait ing for some of you, my brothers. 10 years, 20 years. 30 years, 40 years, perhaps 50 years, waiting, waiting, watching, watching, and if now the prodigal should come home what a scene of gladness and festivity, and how the great father's heart would rejoice at your coming home! You will come, some ef you, will you not? You will, you will. I notice also that when a prodigal comes home there is the Joy of the ministers of religion. Oh. It Is a grand thing to preach this gospel! I know there has been a great deal said about the trials and the hardships -of the Christian ministry. I wish somebody would write a good, rousing book about the joys of the 'Chris tian ministry. Since I entered the pro-, fession I have seen more of the goodness of God than I will be able to celebrate in all eternitv. I know some boast abpiit their eauilibrium, and they do not rise into enthusiasm, and they do not break down with emotion, but I confess to you plainly that when I see a man coming to 'God and giving up his sin I feel In body, mind and soul a transport. "When I see a man bound hand and foot in evil habit emancipated. I rejoice over it as though it were my own emancipation. ' JOY OF SAVING SOULS. - - When in one cemmunjon service such throngs of young and old stood up and in the presence of heaven and earth and hell attested their allegiance to Jesus Christ, I felt a joy something akin to that which the apostle describes when he says: "Whether in the body I cannot tell, or out of the body I cannot tell; Gd know eth." Oh, have pot ministers a right to rejoice whm a prodigal comes home? They blew the trumpet, and ought they not be glad of the gathering of the host? They pointed to the full supply, and ought; they not rejoice when thirsty souls plunge as the hart for the water brooks? They came forth, saying. "AH things are now ready." Ought they not to rejoice when the prodigal sits down at the banquet? Life insurance men will all tell you that ministers of religion as a class live longer than any other. It Is the statistics of all those who calculate upon human longevi ty tnat ministers or. religion as a class live" longer tnan any other. Why it It? There Is more draft upon, the nervous sys tem tnan in any oiner proressjon, and their toil is most exhausting. I have seen ministers kept on miserable stipends Dy parsimonious congregations who wond ered at the dullness of the sermon when the men of God were perplexed almost to' death by questions of livelihood and had not enough nutritious food to keep any fire In their temperament. No fuel.i no tire. I have sometimes seen the Inside of the life of many of the American clergy men, never accepting their, hospitality be cause they cannot afford It, but I have seen them struggle on with salaries of S-'OO or $600 a year the average less than that their struggle well depicted by the western missionary, who says in a letter: "Thank you for the last remittance. Until It came we had not any meat in our house for ne year, and all last winter, although ft was a severe winter, our children wore their summer clothes." And these men of God I find in different parts of the land struggling against annoyance and exas perations Innumerable, some of them week after week entertaining agents who have maps or lightning rods to sell and submitting themselves to all styles of annoyance and vet without complaint and cheerful of soul. How do you account for the fact that these life insurance men tell us that min isters as a class live longer than any other? It Is because of the iov of their work, the joy of the harvest field, the joy of greeting prodigals home to the'r Fath er's house. Oh." we are In sympathy with 11 Innocent hilarities. We can enjoy a hearty song, and we can be merry with the merriest, but those of us who have tolled in the service are ready to testify that all these jovs are tame compared "ith the satisfaction of seeing men enter the kingdom of God. The great eras of verv ministry are the outnourlngs of the TTolv Ohost, and T thank Oofl I have seen 16 of them. Thank God. thank God! SHORT PRAYERS. I notice also when the prodigal comes back all earnest Christians rejoice. If you stood on Jklontauk point and there was a Hurricane at sea, and it was blow ing toward the shore, and a vessel crash ed Into the rocks, and you saw people get ashore In the lifeboats, and the very last man got on the rocks In safety, you could not control your joy, A"d it Is a glad time when the church of God sees men who are tossed on the ocean of their sins plant their feet on the rock Christ Jesus, Oh, when prodigals come home, just hear the Christians sing! Just hear the Chris tians pray! It Is not a stereotyped sup plication we have heard over , and over again for 20 years, but a putting of the case In the hands of CxOd with an Im portunate pleading. No loner prayers. Men never pray at great lengths unless they have nothing to say and their hearts are hard and cold. All the prayers in the Bible that were answered were short prayers. "God be merciful to me, a sin ner.". "Lord, -that I may receive my sight." "Lord, save me, or I perish." The longest prayer, Solomon's prayer at the dedication or tne temple, less tnan eight minutes, according to the ordinary rate of enunciation. And just hear them pray now that the prodigals are coming home. Just see them shake nanas. iso putting forth of "the four tips of the fingers In a formal way, but a hearty grasp, where the muscles of the heart seem to ellneh the fingers of one hand around the other hand. And then see those Christian faces, how Illuminated they are! And see that old man get up and with the same voice that he sang 50 years ago in the old country meeting house, say, "Now, Lord, lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." There was a man of Keith who was hurled into prison in time of persecution and one day he got off his shackles, and he came and stood by the prison door and. when the Jailer was opening the door, with one stroke he struck down the man who- had incarcerated him. Passing along the streets of London, he wondered where his family was. He did not dare to ask, lest he excite suspicion; but. pass ing along a little way rrom the prison. he saw a Keith tankard, a cup that be longed to the family from generation to generation he saw.it m a window. His "family, hoping that some day he would get clear, came and lived as near as thev could to the prison house, and they set that Keith tankard In the window, hoping he would see It, and he came along and saw It and knocked at the door and when In, and the long separated family were all together again. Oh. if you would start for the kingdom of God this hour, I think stune ui you wouia una neflr.y all your friends and nearlv all your families arouuu i-s noiy tankard of the holy cem tnunlon fathers, mothers, brothers, sis ters around . that saered tankard which commemorates the love of Jesus Christ, our Liord. It will be a great communion day when your whole family sits around the sacred tankard. One on earth. One In heaven, Onee more I remark that when the prod leal gets back the inhabitants of heaven keep festal. I am very certain of it. If you have never seen a telegraph chart. you nave no Idea how many cities are connected together nnd how many lands. Nearly all the neighborhoods of the earth seem reticulated. Yand news flies from city to city ana riwn continent to continent. But more raoidlv n the tldlnrc from earth to heaven, and when a prodigal re turns u announced Derore the throne of God. And tf these souls now present should enter the kingdom there would be some one in the heavenly kingdom to say. -mat s my iainer, "xnars my mother,' "Shaft's my sdhr' "That the 6ne used to pray for," "That's the one for whom I wept so many tears," and one soul would say,"Hosanna!" and another would sar. "Halleluiah!'' . ; , . Pleased with the news, the saints below In songs their tongues employ. Beyond the skies the tidings go. And heaven is filled with Joy Nor angels can their joy contain,- But kindle with new fire. The sinner lost is found, they sing, And strike the sounding lyre. A FINE PICTURE. .At the banquet of Lucullus sat Cicero the orator, at the Macedonian festival sat Philip the conqueror, at the Grecian ban quet sat Socrates .the philosopher, but at our Father's table sit all the returned prodigals, more than conquerors. The table is so wide its leaves reach across seas and lands. Its guests are the re deemed' of earth and the glorified of heaven. The ring of God's forgiveness "on every hand. The robe of a Saviour's righteousness a-droop from every should er. The wine that grows in the- cups is from the bowls of 10,000 sacraments. Let all the redeemed . of earth and all the glorified of heaven rise and with gleaming chalices drink to the return of a thousand prodigals. Sing, sing, sing! "Worthy Is the Lamb that was slain to receive bless ing and riches -and honor and glory and power, world without end!" That scene of jubilance comes out before me this moment as in a sort of picture gallery. All heaven In pictures. Look, look! There is Christ! Cuyp painted him for earthly galleries, and Corregglo and Tintoretto and Benjamin West- and Dore painted him for earthly galleries, but all those pictures are eclips ed by this masterpiece of heaven. Christ, Christ! There is Paul, , the hero of the sanhedrln, and of Agrippa's courtrooom and of Mars hill, and of Nero's infamy, shaking his chained fist in the very face of teeth chattering royalty. Here is Joshua, the fighter of Bethoron and Gibe on, the man that postponed sundown. And here is Vashti, the profligacy of the Persian court unable to remove her veil of modesty or rend It or lift it. And along the corridors of this picture gallery I find other great heroes and heroines David with his harp, and Miriam with the oym tals, and Zechariah with the scroll, and "St. John with the seven vials, and the resurrection ahgelf with the trumpet.. On, farther In the corridors, see the faces of our loved ones. The cough gone from the throat, the wanness gone from the limbs, the languor gone from the eye. Let us go up and greet them. Let us go up and embrace - them. Let us go up and live with them. We will, we will! From this hilltop catch a glimpse of those hilltops where all sorrow and sigh ing shall be done away. Oh, that God would make that world to us a reality! Faith in that world helped old Dr. Tyng when he stood by the casket of his dead son whose arm had been torn off in the thrashing machine, death ensuing, and Dr. .Tyng, with Infinite composure, "preached the funeral sermon of his own beloved son. Faith In that world helped Martin Luther without one tear to put away In death his favorite child. Faith In -that world helped the dying woman to see on the sky the letter "W," and they asked her what she supposed that letter "W" on the sky meant. "Oh," she said, "don't you know? 'W stands for 'Wel come,' " Oh, heaven, swing open thy gates! Oh, heaven, roll upon us some of the sunshine anthem's! Oh, heaven, flash upon us the vision of thy luster! An old writer tells us of a ship coming from In dia to France. The crew was made up of j French sailors who had been long from I home, and as the ship came along the coast of France the men skipped the deck jwith glee, and they pointed to, the spires of the churches where they once worsnip ed and to the hills where they had play- ;ed In boyhood. But when the ship came i into port, and these sailors saw. father ! and mother and wife and loved ones on the wharf, they sprang ashore and rush ed un the banks Into the city, and the I captain had to get another crew to brtn the ship to her moorings, so heaven win after awhile come so fully in sight we can see its towers, its mansions, its hills, and as we go into port and our loved ones shall call from that shininsr shore and speak our names we will spring to the beach, leaving this old ship of a world to Ine managed hv another crew, our rough 1 voyaging of the seas ended forever. , i - ' ! j The best Salye In the world for Cuts, jBuises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Erup tions, and positively cures Piles,1 or no ipay I3auired.

BT-T.T&MT, J . -,'.n Ki-iirit-'Stoelt Kukti.' New York, March &Tha week opened with an Improved feeling In financial cir cles. The markets for securities were dominated by the ' more re-assuring ad vices from Crete in regard to the Grecian Turkish complications This news caused additional value from the advance of over 1- per cent, in British!) consols in London and from the increased firmness of the continental markets.' Local operators, Who sold stocks freely on the closing days of last week on the war scare, . covered freely at the opening and In a short- time firices advanced to 1ft per cent, right hroufh the list. It is proper to add that In a majority of instances the highest quotations of the day were attained be fore the expiration oi the first half hour of business, following which there was a reaction on sales by small traders to realise profits. The upward movement was also checked for a time by the de velopment of marked weakness in Man hattan and Jersey Central. The former fell from 87 to 844 on renewed reports that the directors at their meeting to morrow will reduce the rate of dividends from 6 to 5 or 4 per cent, per annum. Nothing definite could be learned in re gard to the matter, although it was cur rently reported that a certain element in the board. Including Russell Sage, are' in favor of a reduction to 4 per cent, and wanted such reduction three months ago, but were overruled at that time. Jersey Central dropped from 9ii to 92, partly In. sympathy with, a fall of 7 points in Lehigh and Wilkesbarre consols. Jersey Central 6's also yielded about 2 points. During the afternoon the stock recover ed 93, while Delaware and Hudson ad vanced 1V4 and Reading per cent. The special .feature, however, was Tobacco, which suddenly rose 8 per cent, on a ma terially, increasing volume of business. The dealings in. this stock as welllas in most others was largely for professional account. New. York Central was favora bly Influenced by the fact that the state ment for February showed an increase as compared with the same month last vear.

There was some liquidation of long- wheat . today on the prospect of a settlement of the eastern question. . There were, however,, a number of people who still held on, hoping that developments might yet result in higher prices. The conciliatory nature1 of the Grecian King's reply to the powers had a calming effect on European markets and. In turn, had the effect of producing a feeling of easiness on this side of the water. English consols were up a point and Paris, Berlin and Liverpool, all quoted declines on wheat. The statistics incident to Monday were bullish, but they failed to help the market. The opening was easy, a rally following, but the sub 'wiient course of prices was downward. Cash wheat was easy and lc per bushel lower. .
