A Large Excursion.

The excursion Of the White Haven
Relief Association to Mountain Park on
Saturday was largely attended, notwith-
standing the nclement weather. Nine
coaches were used to convey the eXcur-
sionists from Upper Lehigh and four
from Sandy Run, and all were crowded
by young and old. 1t is safe to say that
merrier or iolier crowd never left for
a days outing. The women and girls
Jared the worst at the hands of the
weather and quite u number had their
dresses ruined. Notwithstanding that
almost every one in attendance had
some form of protection to resist the
downpour of rain, all were more or less
wet. This, however, did not detract
from the pleasure the excursionists sue
ceeded in extracting from the day.
Had the weather conditions been fav-
orable almost twice as many more people
from this vicinity would have attended.
1t was the first time in all the many
years since the excursions were inaug-
urated that it rained before the trains
left and the disappointment to the pat
rons was keenly felt by those who at
tended and also by those who remained
at homn

Deputy Sheriff Honeywell yesterday
afternoon prohibited the ball game
which was to be played by the Chicago
Bloomer Girls and the local club at the
Tigers park. He notified the manager
OF the girls club that he would arrest

the visitors to refuse to play. Over 500

The deputy sherif's action was based
on u petition sent to Sheriff Harvey,
which was signed by the minister and
five members of the English Baptist
church. The petition asked him to
prohibit the game.

OUT OF VEGETABLES.
The Department of Agriculture Will
 Forward Seeds.

Washington, November 15.-Considera- ble time at the Cabinet meeting today was devoted to the consideration of the agricultural situation in the Philippines. By reports received by the War Depart ment it is apparent the vegetables grown there are running out and there is immed- fate necessity for a general distribution of new seed.
 Secretary Wilson has decided to sesd one of the department experts with a full corps of assistants to the island to investigate the situation. Upon ascer- taining the needs in respect to seed the department will ship to the islands such seeds as may be required It is expected that many things not heretofore grown in the Philippines can be produced and especial attention will be directed to the growing of new crops The seeds will be distributed gratis.
 It is understood the President will make no direct recommendation on the subject of taxation. He will lay the sit uation before Congress and call attention to the recommendations of Secretary Gage but he will make no direct sugges- tions.

Prospects of lighter receipts and a cold weather map were the basis for the early purchases, these influences at the same time serv- ing to check selling for either account. But soon after the call bear leaders raid ed the market. bringing January down from 7.5e to 7.50 within a few minutes. A sharp break in Liverpool and light liaui- dation by room longs gave the market weak appearance for the moment When the bear pressure was removed, however, the market immediately exhibited strong undertone, and for the rest of the forenoon worked steadily higher.

 Trading at times was quite active, with a sentiment as to the near future de- eidedIy bullish. The forecast indicated frost in the belt with freezing tempera- lures over important areas in the terri tories and northern Louisiana Southern markets were firmer in export demand, with holders disposed to hold off.
 Aside from Wall street buying, local commission houses were rather slimly supplied with orders. Near the close profit taking carried prices of a point or two. The close was barely steady. and net points lower to 1 point higher.

Cotton Letter.

c. w Lee t& Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Co.
 New York, November 15-Owing to the extent of the advance yesterday, op- orators sold freely at the opening this morning. January broke from TBS to 751 and then the usual strengthening nflu- ences sent January to 760 or the highest level of the week. Receipts in the South west were comparatively light, the amount in sight this week being only about 10000 bales more than last year ac- cording to Hesters statement and this was a surprise to the trade. Short cov- ering carried the market higher than the opening and the tone showed more resist ance to the pressure than during the early dealings. There seemed to be con siderable anxiety on the part of shorts to cover contracts. The desire to cover May particularly showed that the market was oversold. Had shorts had full con trol of the situation there would be no cause for anxiety over May. January would be different. The advance in May was attributed to nervousness on the part of the more important interest. The market revealed this and operators were inclined to help the advance, when the tone strengthened at midday. Trading was fairly active and oeffrings seemed considerably less than the demand during the greater portion of the day. great many were inclined to look for further advance as such a covering move- ment as that In progress seldom closes without a sudden spurt and a day or two of excitement. There was buying by a common house and by professionals later in the day. The tone was what might be called firm though fluctuations were rather extensive.
