PICNIC POSTPONED.
Martins Hill Excursion VIII Be
Given Next Saturday.

Disappointment was the harvest for
those thousands Of people. little and big.
who had planned to put in the day at
Martins Hill. When the shower set in
early this morning and the weather
threatened to be unfavorable for
greater part Of the day than later hours
verified the committee decided to post
pone the event, rather than have a day
of intended pleasure made uncomforta-
BILE and disagreeable.
Accordingly the excursion was post
poned until next Saturday. October 13.
All the tickets viii be good on that date
and with favorable weather It is expect
ed that the pleasure to be provided will
be none the less enjoyed because
weeks wait must intervene.
Mr.. Edward Wilder, of the COMMITTEES
said this morning:
I'VE would wish It to be well under
stood as to the reluctant, but necessary
postpone OF the excursion to Martins
Hill There were preparations being
made early in the day for transportation
they had to be stopped The success OF
the outing and its enjoyment could not
well be risked on the possibility OF its
clearing off later in the day.
1T would be most unsatisfactory at
all events to visit Martins Hin when
it is cloudy. The view would be spoiled
and the beauty of that IS one OF its
greatest attractions. We want 20 nave

all the beauties Of the place.
No one would want to endanger their
health, anyway. by subjecting them
selves to dampness and mud. Every
thing will be arranged to have the eN-

will stiIl be good and we hope for a
fine sunshiny day that there may be ftill
enjoyment to all who go"

MONEY Is PLENTY.
London Market is Taking en- Better
Tone.

London, Oct. 6.-The supply of loan
able capital is exceedingly large and
advances for a day are obtainable at 2
per cent. and even less. Discount, how
ever, is fairly maintainable in view of
the unsatisfactory condition of the New
York and continental exchanges, al
though the market is placing some hope
in the shipment of half a million in
gold from India This, presumably, is
in connection with payments for silver,
showing the extent of the recent pur-
chases of the Indian government.
Although there was no great increase
of business on the stock exchange, there
was a general feeling Of optimism, as
the brokers apparently like both the re-
suits of the elections as far as they have
progressed and the political aspect in
the far east. ConsOls were firm, and
home railroads are being sought for in
vestment purposes. Americans were
fairly firm, a disposition being mani
tested to take a more hopeful view of
things in general, thus offsetting the ex-
pectations of an unfavorable New York
bank statement. Grand Trunks were
inactive but steady.
