The cabled reports of meager harvests in Europe, and the memory of the vast crops of ripening grain which Dr. Talmae saw during his recent tour in the "West, have combined to turn his thoughts back to that patriarchal time when Till the world sent to Egypt to buy corn and o sn(rgct a gospel lesson. His cxt is Genesis sliiL, 3: "Yc shall not see my ice, except your brother be with you." ( Tills summer, having crossed 18 of tho Vnitcd States North, South. East and Wet, . liavc to report the mightiest harvests that bis country or any other country ever Stuped. If the BTain gamblers do not some ywwrcek tlie-e harvests, wo are about to enter nri the grandest scene of prosperity 'that Americana, over witnessed. But while thil so in ourwn country, ou the other side of the Atlantic there are nations llireatoncd with famine, and the most dis mal cry that is ever heard will I fear be uttered, the cry for bread. I pray God that the contract between our prosperity and thPirwant may not be as sharp as in the lands jxf en ed to by my tost. Thcro was nothing to cat. 1'Jcnty of corn in Egypt, but ghastly famine m Canaan. The cattle moaning m the :t:ill. Men, women and children awfully white with hunger. Not the failing of one crop for one summer, but the failing of all crops for seven years. A nation dyins for lack or that which is so comniou ou your table, and so little appre ciated: the product of liarva-t field, and gri-t mill, and oven: the price of sweat, and anxietv, and struggle, Bread! Jacob the lather, ha the Inn report irom the flour-bin, and he finds that evervtl"ng i" out; and he et.js to hislsous: "Boy. book up the wagons and tart lr Egypt, and got us t.oniething to cat" The fact wsi. there was a giatoorn ciibinEypt. The .peojile of Egypt have been largely ta.cd in nil ages, at tho present time pajing between 7fl and 80 per cent of their products to fie government. No won- derm that time t'icy hud a. large corn crib, and it was full. The morning for starting out on the cru-adeforlrcad has arrived. Jacob gets Ills family up very early. But before the elder sons start they say something that 3naliC- him tromble with emotion from head to fooi, and burst into tears. Tho lact was. Hint these elder son had onco before been in Egjpt to get corn, and they had been treated somewhat roughly, tho lord of the orn ciib supplying them with corn, but say Sg at the clo-o ot the interview: "Now, you wd not oomo back here for any more corn Jiilc-s you bring something better than Aoncy even your younger brother Ben jamin." THE NAME SrCGESTIVE OP TENDERNESS. All! Benjamin that very name was sug-go-tico: all tenderness. The mother had died at the birth of that son a spirit coming and another spirit going and the very thoaghtof parting with Benjamin musthavo been a heartbreak. The kecperof this corn crib, nevcrthelp-s, says to these older sons: "There sd ot your coming here any more ,-ir co"ni unless you bring Benjamin, your .- "her's darting." Now, Jaoob and his lamiUn ry much needed bread; but wnat a ttraan t would be to give up this son. The Oriel, o.o are very demonstrative in their grief, nd I heartheoutwailingof thefathor :isthe -Mder sons keep reiterating in his ears tl announcement of tho Egyptian lord, " -o shall not ueo my lace un less your brother he with vou." "Why aid you t"U them vou h-ni V hmiirt laid tho old nnm, complaining and chidlne them. "11 liy. lather Uio- s?lcL "h- ,txd vs all about our ramily, aimwe had no 'laea lie ould n;as any such demand ou ns as lie has madi 'So use ot asking mo," said the father cmnot, I will not, give up Benjamin." So the day for departure was ndjournod, an I adjourned, anu adlouraed. Still tho horrors of the faminolncreascd, and louder moaned the cnttle, and wider open cnn-ked tin; earth, and more pallid became tbeclufkJ, until Jacob, m despair, cried out to his sons, "Take Benjamin and be off." The older sons tried to cheer np their fathef. They said: "We have strong arms mid a stout lieai t, and no harm will come to Benja min. We'll see that he gets back again.' '"farewell!" said the young men to the father, in a tone of assumod good cheer. -a-r-e-w-e-l-i:" said the old man: for that rd has more quavers in it when pro t meed by the aged than by the young. t ell, the bread party the bread embassy -ives np in iront of tho corn crib of ,, "t.

But stop .1 inmnt. fnr from the keener of that corn crih there comes this -word, saying: "You i shall not see mv face except your brother tic with you." In other words, thcro is no such thing ns getting from heaven pardon and comfort andctornal life unless we hring with us our divine brother, the Lord Jeans Christ. Coining without htm we .shall fall before e reach the corn crib, and our bod ies shall be a portion for the JacUals of tho wilderness; but coming with the divine .Tnsii9 nil the sranuries of heaven will - fe our eo' and -b co I want to make tnreo points. Everv frank nnri fnmmnn-sp.iiad man will acknowledge himself to be a sinner. 'Wliat are you going to do with vour sinst Have them pardoned, you sav. liowt Through the mercy of God. What do you mean by the mercy of GodT Is it tho letting dov n of a bar for tho admis sion of all, without respect to character? Bo not deceived. I see a sonl coming np to the gate of mercy and knocking at the corn crib of heavenly supply; and a voice from within avs: "Arc vou alone?" The sinner replies: "All alone. Tho voice from within says: Tou shall not see my pardoning lace unless your Divine Brother, the Lord Jesus, be with you." O, that is the point at which so manv arc discomforted. Tnere Is no mercy from God except through Jesus Christ. Coming with him we are accepted. Coming without him. wo are rejected. Peter put it right in bis great sermon before the high priests, when he thundered fourth: "Xeither is thore salvation in any other. There is no other name given under heaven among men whereby wo may be saved." O, anxious, sinner! O, dying sinnerl O, lost sinner! all vou have got to do iB to have this Divino Benjamin along with you. Side by side, coming to the gato, all the store-honses of heaven will swing open before your anxious soul Am I right in calling Jesus Benjamin? O yes. Kachel lived only long enough to sri've a name to that child, and with a dying kiss she called blm Benoui. Afterward. Jacob changed his name, nnd be called him Benjamin. THE JfAailNG OF BE5TJAMIX. The mcanfng of the name she gave was "Son of my Pain." The meaning of tho name the father gave was "Son of my Right Hand." And was not Christ the Son of Pain? All tho sorrows of Kachel In that hour, when stio i uvo her child over into the bands of stran gers was nothing compared with the strue cleof God when he gave up his only Son. The omnipotent God in a birth throe! And was not Christ appropriately called the "son of tho Bight Hand?" Did not Stephen look into heaven and see htm standing on tho right hand of God? And does not Paul spenkof him as standing at the right hand i God making intercession for ns? O, Ben jamin Jesus! Son of pang! Son of Victory! The deepest emotions of our souls ought to be stirred at the sound of that nomencla ture, My text also suggests tho reason why so many people do not get any real comfort. You may meet ten people; nine of them are in need of some kind ot condolence. There Is somethiug in their health, or in their state or in their domestic condition that demands sympathy. And yet the most of tho world's sympathy amounts to absolutely nothing. People go to tho wronc crib, or they go in the wrong way. When the plague was in Home a great many years ago, there were SO men who chanted themselves to death with the litanies of Gregory the Great literally chanted themselves to death, and jet it did not stop tho plague. And all the "music of this woild cannot halt the plague ot the hu man heart. I come to some whose ailments are chronic, and 1 sav: "In heaven von will never be sick." That I does not givo you much comfort. What you want is a soothing power ror your present distress. "Lost children, have you? I come to you and tell 3-011 that in ten years perhaps you will meet those loved ones be fore the throne of GoL But there is but lit tle condolence in that. One any is a year without them, and ten years is a small ctoinity. What you want is a sympathy now present help. I come to those of you who have lost dear friends and sayi "Try to forget them. Do not keep the departed always in your mind." How can you forget them when every figure in the carpet, and e cry book, and every picturo, and every room, calls out their name? Suppose I come to you and say, by way of condolence: "God Is wise." "Ol ' you say, "that gives me no help." Suppose I corno to you and say: "God, from all eternity, lias arranged this trouble." "Ah!" you sav, "that does me no .ood." Then I sny: -'With the swift feet of prayer go direct to the corn crib for a heav enly supply." You go. You say: "Lord, help me; Lord, comfort me." But no help yet. Xo comfort yet. It is all dark. HOW TKUE COMFORT IS FOUND. "What is the mattor? I have found. You ought to go to God and say: "Here, O Lord, ai o the wounds of my soul, and I bring with me the wonnded Jesus. Let his wounds pav -for ray wound. Ills bereavements for mj-tc- icavuiucmis, jus luuuimessiur my,iuncuncss, his heart-break for my heart-break. O, God! tor the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ the God, the man, the Benjamin, tho brother deliver my ngonized soul. O, Jesus of the weary foot, ease my fatigue. O, Jesus of the aching head, heal my aching head. O, Jesus of tho Bethany sisters, roll away tho stone from the door of our grave." That is the kind of prayer that brings help: and yet how many 01 you are getting no help at all, for the reason that there is in your soul, per haps, a secret trouble. You may never have mentioned it to a single human ear, or you may have mentioned it to some one who is now gone away, and that great sorrow is still in your soul. Alter Wash ington irving was aeau, tncy lound a little box that contained a braid of hair and aminaturc,and the name of Matilda Hoff man, and a memorandum of her death, and a remark something like this: "The world after that was a blank to mo. I went into the country, but found no peace in solitude. I tried to go into socioty, but I lound no peace 111 society. There has been a horror hanging over me by night and by day, and I am afraid to be alone." How many unuttered troubles! Xo human ear has ever heard the sorrow. 0, troubled soul, I want to tell you that there is one salvo that can cure the wounds of the heart, and that is the salve made out of the tears of a sympathetic Jesus. And yet some of you will not take this solace: and you try chloral, and you try morphine, and you try strong drink, and you try change or scene, and you try new business associations, and anything and everything rather than take the Divine companionship and sympathy sungostcd by the words of my text when it says: ."You shall not see my face again un less 3-our brother be with you." igu luriucr, ana una in my snoject a hint as to the way heaven opens to the departing spirit. We are told that heaven has twelve gates, and some people infer from that fact that all the people will go in without refer ence to their past life; but what is the use of having a gato that is not sometimes to be shut? The swinging of agate implies that pur entrance into heaven is conditional. 'It "ui " "uoneiary condition. TUEltE IS SO CHOICE OF BANQUETS. If Jacob's sons had gone toward Egypt, and had gone with the very finest equipage and bad not taken Benjamin along with them, and to the question they shonld have been ohlhrcd to sukvps u. .A it bring him. as father could not lot him go; we didn't want to be bothered with him," a voice irom within would have said: "Go away from us. You shall not have any of this supply. You shall not see mv face because your brother is not with you." And if wo come up toward -the door or heaven at last, though we come from all luxuriance and brilliancy of surroundings, and knock for admittance and It is found that Christ is notnvith Tils the police orneaven will boat us back from the bread-house, saying: "Depart, I never knew you. If Jacob's sous, coming toward Eirrnt had lost everything on tho way; if thev liad. expended their last shekel; it the" had come mi utterly exhausted to the con" crib?" f Egypt, and it had been found that Benjamin was with them, all the storehouses would have swunir oueu betoro tho a-. " though by latal casualty we may be ushered into the cteronl world; though we nmv he weak- and exhausted by protracted sickness ir, in that last moment, we can onlv iust stagger, aud faint, and fall into the ito of heaven it scorns that all the com cribs of heaven will open lor our need and all tho palaces will open for our reception: and tho Lord 01 that puice,seated athis table, it, all the angels 01 God seated at their table and the martyrs seated at their table, and ail our glorified kindred Rented at our tabic the ""s anui!,i puruun irom instable to ours, and then, while we think of the-Tact that it was Jesus who started us on the road and Jesus n ho at last gained admittance for our soul, we shull be glad if he has seen of tho travail of his soul and been satisfiod and not be at all Jealous if it be found that our Divine Benjamin's mess Is five times larxui luuiiuu me rest. 3lv friend, von see it is eithpr Pi,wf ,. famine. .If there wero two banquets spread, and to one of them, only, you might -to, yon might stand and think for a good while as to which invitation you had bettej accept; but here it is feasting or starvation. If it were a choice between oratnrios, you might say: "Iprelorthe 'Creation,'" or-l prefer the '.S'eiah. " Rut here it is a choice between eternal harmony and everlasting discord. O, will you live or die! Will you start for the Egyptian corn-crib, or will you perish amid tho empty barns of tho Cnnaamtish famine? "Ye shall not see mj- laco except Wool Markets.

A Slump in Cereal Prices Follows the Bull Moyement. VEGETABLES OP ALL KINDS A DRUG. No Enconragement let for the Hide and Harness leather Trade. A BOSTON T1EW OP THE SHOE TRADE Office op The PiTTsntmo Dispatch, ) Saturday, Aug. 29, 1891. 5 The treek has been characterized by slow movement in cereal lines, with a general weakening of markets. The bull movement oflastweekis demonstrated to have been largely speculative,-and we are now having the consequent reaction. "Wheat and flour are barely steady, and oats have declined within the pas! few days. The shortage of breadstuff's in Eastern Europe has. been evi dently worked by speculators for.more than tras in it, and wheat and rye arc 10c per bushel below the highest point rcaohed a week or two ago. In grocery lines we note the continued activity of sugar ant? weakness of coffee. In tho early part of the week it was given out that the Stnrar Trust bad reduced price of granulated below 4o, but the announce ment proved a fake, and prices are now firm at rates of a week airo. I'ackairo cofieo has declined Jc per lb. within the week, and is quiet at the decline. Vegetables all kinds nro a dmgand havo been for a week past. Cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers are especially dull. In fruit lines peaches have the lead. Receipts for the week have not been less than 100 car loads. Demand has been good for all good stock offered. With tho great activity in this line, other fruits havo been a druir and price of apples and tropical fruits has been merely nominal. Hides and Calfskins. The situation in this line has nndergono no changes worthy of mention' sbice last Saturday. Boston reports indicate a slight improvement in demand. 'Tanners who have been holding off for some weeks past because of downward tendency of markets are forced to replenish stock, but are buy ing only as necessities require. There is no sign of any speculative movement in hides. While it is probable that prices are at their lowest forthis season, tanners are not dis posed to buy beyond immediate wants. Following are prices paid by Allegheny tanners for stock dolivered here: Xo. 1 green salted steers, 0 lbs and over 7 yo. 1 green salted cows, all weights 5 Xo. 1 green salted hides, 40 to 60 lbs i Ho. 1 green salted hldch, 5to40 lbs 5 Xo. 1 salted bulls 4 No. 1 salted calfskins 0 No. 1 green salted te.il kips s Xo. 1 green salted runner kips 4 Xo. 1 green steers. SO His and over 7 No. 1 green cows, all weights 4 Xo. 1 green bulls 4i Xo. 1 green hides, 40 to 60 lbs 4'J Xo. 1 green hides, 23 to 40 lbs 4,1 Xo. 1 green calfskins 0 Xo. 1 green veal kips, per piece 90 Xo. : green runner kips 75 Sheepskins locfl SO Tallow, prime 3 Harness lcather. Allegheny tanners report active demand for their products. Prices are very low, so low that margins of profit are well nigh ob literated. Harness manufacturers are busy as bees, and all signs point to an extra fall trade. Good crops bring heavy demands In this line, and the manufacturer of horse equipments who lays in his stock now will be justified in the near future, as future changes are bound to be toward a higher level. Followlngaro the pneesof harness leather, as established by the Alleghenv tanners: Xo. 1 trace, 37c jfl R; B trace, 35c 9 B; No. 1 extra heavv, 100 Us and over,35c J? it; B extra heavy, 30c f ft: Xo. 2 extra heavy, 2So ?) ft; Xo. 1 heavy, 130 to 160 fts. 31c fj ft; B heavy, 29c p ft; Xo. 2 heavy, 27c fl ft; black line, 2So P ft. J?oot and Shoo Trade. The great depression in this line, which has resulted in so many heavy failures, ap pears to be coming to nn end. A better era dawns. Tho Boston Herald has this to say -oftlie situation and outlooks. - ., "mere t ognin some slight improvement to bo noted in tho boot and shoe market, from tho standpoint of manufacturers. Or ders are slightly better in some olasses of goods, most notably in women's oil grain shoes and men's oalt goods. In these goods tho orders are in the way of duplicates in fall goods, though some of the salesmen aro on the road with samplos of spring goods though no considerable business is re ported. The demand for heavy goods Is rither quiet, though there has been some duplicating of orders of lato. A fow sales men are alreudy here looking for spring goods, but they are here mainly for looking over the bankrupt stocks rather thanhe giving or orders lor goods to bo made. Tho leellug in the market in the way of prices for goods is slightly firmer, though without any auvance. Somo Silver Lining. 'Financially, the position of tho boot and shoo trade is better. It is asserted positively by those in position to bo .thoroughly posted that it is easier placing boot and shoo paper with easier rates. Collections are cortniiily a littlo easier, since tho money rates have been a little easier. This is more especlallv trueof the West rather than tho South w here the improvement from tho excellent grain crops is not noted. The better feeling in tho West is a special feature of the boot and shoe market to-day, and if the improve ment continues the market is certainly rapidly drifting toward better things. Man ufacturers begin to be slightly more busy though tho influence of the recent very hot weathor has been felt in-increasing the in clination to run as Ugh t as possible. But th 0 better demand for goods has been rather positive, in many instances, nnd of a nature that manufacturers do not like to put off." LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

Country Produce Jobbing prices Supply of choice creamery butter is still below demand and it is rea sonably certain that there will be an advance at the beginning of the week. Jobbers here report a good week's trade and active demand for all dairy pro ducts on hand. Friday was the best' day of the season, as regards the amount handled. Different jobbers report sales amounting to nearly 2,000 boxes of cheese for the week. Eggs have grown firmer under the influence of cool weather, and our quotations ore again advanced. Fruits of all kinds are slow, with peaches as the exception. The latter are coming in very freely, but are going out almost as fast as they come.

TVAIX A Poor Bank Statement Has Not Even a Momentary Effect The Highest Prices for the Week The Market Closes Strong Bonds Active. New York, Aug. 29. The stock market was extremely active, tho transactions for the two hours of business being the largest seen for that time in more than a year, except dnring tho November panic of last year. The list displayed' tho most pro nounced strength, and, notwithstanding that realizations in the advances of the week were unusually large, the demand was such that prices baited only lor a short time and then resumed their upward move ment all along tho lino. The buying was of the best quality, and was -Very marked in volumo for both foreign and domestic oper ators, the bullish feeling running very high and carrying nil boforo it. The bank statement showed a farther loss on surplus rcservo, but it had no effect even for tho moment, and the triumphant ad vance met with no check after the first half hour's trading. The opening was strong at fractional ad vances over lastnight's figures, and the early demand sent the list further on its upward march. The realizations here caused a tem porary setback, bnt the buying was then resumed in earnest and prices began a for ward movement which lasted until the close. Tho market finally closed very active and decidedly 8troue;at tho highest prices for the dav and the week. The trading reached the unusual total of 252,118. Railroad bonds kept paco with stocks in tho amount of business done, though prices aro unchanged and business not so evenly distributed. The total reached $2,474,000.

In speculative circles last week, but there were a few good features which strength ened the hopes of tho sangnlne element. Bear cards Were scarce. Saturday's sales wero C75 shares, for the week they were 1,330, against 532 the previous week. Final prices as compared with those of the previous Saturday show the following changes: Philadelphia Gas gained i. Cen tral Traction , Pleasant Valley , Switch and Signal , Airbrake 2, Electric lVf. Wheeling Gas declined 2J4 on the fire at Mc Donald, but finished wltn nn upward ten dency. Luster dropped , on considerable pressure to sell. The dritt, as will be seen was upward, only two stocks in the active list showing concessions. Saturday's market, during the short time It lasted, was about tbe best of the week. It was in closer sympathy with New York than usual, and every bulge there struck a re sponsive chord here, resulting In a respecta ble volume of transactions and better values. The result of the week's operations was to leave tho market in good shape to re spond to any farther forward Impulse. It needs no argument to prove that tlie crucial period of tho year has been passed. ' " Sales Saturday were 20 shares of Citizens Tractionat 62, 50 Central Traction at 16, 205 Philadelphia Gas at 114, 23 Wheeling Gas at 21.
