FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
FIRM uNDERToNE.
Evidence of Confidence on Part of
 Securities Holders.

New York, March 10.-The action 0. | the stock market today threw no cleal | dustrial conditions. The movement 0. prices was not perceptfbly responsive ! to news of affairs, but rather, to the working out of professional operations tive power and the firm undertone thus implied may be accepted as evidence of underlying confidence on the part of holders of securities.
 There was some rather striking sell ing in the early part of the day in con- tfnuance of the free profit taking movem ent of the latter part of yester- day. London joined in this selling ir agreement with it's attitude for several days past but reversed its position ir
 the course of the day. The view of the
 labor situation in Philadelphia, which
 was believed to influence the selling Oi
 yesterday, was modified again today
 to a more hopeful feeling for the re-
 striction of the area of the trouble and for it's early settlement. The same feeling was evident regarding the ne gotiations between the railroads and
 their employees.
 New York Central was a remaining influence in the days dealings in the
 way of gaining readier cre6ence for suggestions of coming increases in Vanderbilt and in other trunk line railroads, but in some of the western railroads was this influence effective. Flattering reports of the heavy freight car requirements of the New York Cen tral were put out in aid of the senti- ment towards the stock. The purpose of helping out the market for new bond notations was believed to be the mo- tive for the support of the market by the larger banking interests most con cerned in the fotations. The special prominence of the Hartman Pacifics in the advancing tendency is associat- ed with an assumption heard in Wall street that the testimony in the gov erunent suit against the merger of panys contentious The same sort of sentiment has been cultivated in con nection with the current rise in prices in regard to the chances of the Amer ican Tobacco and the Standard oil suits. It is urged that the profitable activities of the great corporations will be carried on in some way which will be found to comply with the re- ouirements of the law as construed by the supreme court
 The February statistics of the Cop per Producers association was an un- satisfactory item. The heavy decline in exports for the. month threw light on the reported decrease in the Euro pean supply of the metal, showing that to be at the expense of demand for American output. The daily rate of production in February, meantime, was considerably greater than in Jan market after the appearance of these figures was testimony to the impor- tance attached to the mater.

NEW WORKERS SWALLOW
 ANY SPORT DOPE
But Westerners Sec All the Big Men
 in Action.

It is extremely wearying to attempt to follow the boxing dope ladied out by bunch of those youths who draw pay for being experts on some of the New York papers. Some of them pose as artists having graduated from the pattern skctching departments of the millinery establishments. but most of them are just plain capital I yaps who hand down opinions on fights and fight CTS they never see with all of the sol- emn profundity of a bullfrog croaking in a northern muskeg.
 For. be it known that about all the fights New York has seen for many moons are those cheese incinerations pulled off in attics and cellars, and the writers of boxing down there have lost all sense of proportion. They have not seen any of the fighters in real action. This does not .worry them in the least They go ahead with the flow of gulf, just jSs as though they had .t their feet on They have an easy public to cater to- a vast collection of those wise peo- pie who could not be trusted west of Buffalo with dollar watch and d clamshell scarfpin; those wise lads who prove such easy picking for any sort of thimblerig the police do not allow to operate on Broadway-prime yaps of the universe.
 Now these fellows are throwing the hammer at Wolgast and saying that Ee won by chance; that time had licked Nelson and a lot of rot that goes i;l Manhattan, but nowhere else.
 No matter what one may have thought of Wolgast's chances before his bout with Nelson it is necessary to acmit now that he is a great fgh' CT. He gave and received terrific punisn- mont. He rallied and won after It was thought he was all but knocked out. He fooled a lot of folk, who thought Nelson was going in for another May walk He's a real boxer and the com parison between him and some of those eastern hothouse, ten round artists is really Imaginable.
 But they get away with it in New York at the same time furnishing up the already brilliant hall mark of nick ism possessed by the village of Goth am.-Minneapoiis Journal.

oebbrow Didn't Know of Match.

Next time anyone in Baltic wants to match Arthur Dobbrow for pool match they had better let him know something about it before they make the announcement. Here are a few lines from MT. Doobrow:
 Tn regard to the statement made in Tuesdays Bulletin, March 8th, that I was to play Shakespeare, the expert one-hand pool player, would say that I knew absolutely nothing about any such pool match until I read it in The Bulletin and never gave my consent to anyone to use my name for such an ar ticie. I met Shakespeare Tuesday evening at the s. W. $. club and rather than disappoint the crowd of sports who came to witness the match offered to play him One-hand exhibition game.

Stanley Ketchel says of the coming fight:
 Johnson will win. Jeffries cannot come back any more than a race horse can, and it would not do him any good if he could.

PLANET SATURN GETS
A PIMPLE ON ITS FACE.
Italian Astronomer Discovers
l,OOO-MiIe Volcanic Eruption.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2s.-The
planet Saturn is showing an eruption
that is attracting considerable atten-
ton on the part of astronomers.
A few weeks ago the Italian astron-
omer, Maggini. saw something on the
upper left side of the disk of the planet
This phenomenon was observed in the
Ximenien Observatory of Florence.
Professor Maggini made a drawing of
the protuberance, which appears well
defined against the shadow cast by the
rings.
While it is a diminutive object, it Is
calculated that it has a height about
half the diameter of the noon, or more
than 1000 miles. On SO gigantic a
planet as Saturn this protuberance
looks no more important than a pimple
on a mans face.
Professor Eric Doolittle, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, when asked II
he had seen the object reported from
Florence, said that he had not, but
that anything of the kind on Saturn
Is of the greatest scientific interest,
owing to the general lack of knowledge
about the big planet, which generally
is believed to be a great ball of fiery
vapor. The diameter of Saturn is near
ly ten times that Of the earth.

FOREIGN-BOUND GIFTS
MUST BE in N. Y. EARLY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 2S.-Spe-
cial arrangements have been made by
Postmaster General Hitchcock for the
rapid transmission of mai intended for
delivery abroad by Christmas Day. Ac-
cording to announcement made yester-
day, the steamer Philadelphia, originally
scheduled to sail from New York for
Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southamp-
ton, England, at 10 a. m. Saturday,
December II, will leave New York at
the same time the preceding day. Like
wise, the Mauretania, scheduled to de-
part on December 81, now will sail at
6 p. m. Saturday. December II.
This will make it necessary for per-
son in any part of the United States
to mail their letters or packages for
the United Kingdom and other parts
Of Europe early enough for them to
reach New York on Friday, December
16, or Saturday, December II. Such
mail, 1t is expected, will be landed In
time for delivery in Great Britain and
ireland, as well as most of the conti-
nent, by Christmas Day.

MERTON CRICKET CLUB
PLANS A WONDERFUL
GOLF TOURNEY COURSE
New Links Will Be Adjoining
the Famous HayerfOrd
College.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

TT HE Merton Cricket Club, of Phil
adelphia, is TO have a new 1S-
hole golf course, meeting all the
requirements of a full-fiedged cham
pionship course, to be ready for occu-
pancy in 1912.
They are not being forced out of their
present course, but they do not own
the property, and fully realize that 1t is
increasing in value each year for build
ing sites and that it will only be a mat
ter Of a few years until they are forced
to vacate, as the property is now worth
Sc, 1000 an acre. There are seventy-two
acres in the present course, thirty acres
of which belongs to Clement A. Girls
CON-. a prominent member of the club,
who gives the property to the club rent
free, but the other forty-two acres be-
long to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. for which the club pays an
nual rental of $500. The greater portion
of the land adjoining the course has
been sold Off into building plots, and
the ~long-headed members of the club
realizing the situation decided to get
under cover without further delay and
make it possible for the club to be on
a firm foundation by owning the land
outright upon which its course is laid
out.
With this object in view some of the
wealthy members OF the club formed
a land company and purchased 300
acres of land on the other side of the
town, adjoining the Haverford College.
Most active among these gentlemen are
w. w. Atterbury, vice-president of the
Pennsy lvania Railroad Company; e. G.
FELTON,, president OF the Pennsylvania
Steel Company: A. r. Hueston, presi-
dent OF the Lukens Iron and Steel
Company, and H. G.. Lloyd, of Drexel
& Co. They paid an average of 81. 800
an acre for the 300 acres, and in order
to make 1t possible for the club to own
its own property they sold the club
III acres of land at $726 an acres, which
is less than a of the cost price. In
fact, the III acres Is costing the club
$4,000 and the and company is taking
a mortgage upon it, so that the club Is
fully protected by its own members,
and it can purcl ase as much more of
the land as 1t desires at the same fg-
ure. The land company, composed of
immensely wealthy gentlemen, expect
to get back the none they have in
vested by selling off the remainder OF
the lane for building sites.
They did not go at It blihdfolded, as
after getting an option on the land
they got such noted expert amateurs
as Charles B. Macdonald and H. J.
Whigham, the national amateur cham
pions of 1895, 1895 and 1897, who laid
out the new national course at SHINE
cock Hills, which is supposed to be the
i6anl cole o4,r-A - A. rYArI5 TT 7
Barker, the Garden City professional,
who has revised more up-to-date
courses than all the other professionals
put together, also looked the land over
and pronounced 1t suitable for one of
the best courses in the country. Barker
will doubtless be engaged to lay out the
new course. which is expected to be in
thorough condition by 1912, which will
give him more than a year to get
things in shape.

HOT FROM GRID|RON

It is said that a number of army and
navy officers have set on foot a move
ment looking to the holding of the an
nual Army-Navy football game in New
York city instead of Franklin Field,
three proposals under consideration,
one providing for the purchase of suit
able grounds in New York and the
erection of stands. one for leasing fields
and stand for q long term and the
third for procuring one of the great
baseball parks for the game. Those
who are said to favor the plan point
out that Franklin Fields seating ca
pacity, $4,000, Is inadequate to meet the
yearly increasing attendance.
1t is generally conceded tina the Navy
outplayed the Army In every way and
was entitled to the victory, even
though 1t was by the closest of margins,
80. The Navy has the distinction OF
being the only big eleven Of the East
to go through the season without be-
ing scored upon. Dalton was the star
of the game.
Coach Percy Haughton, of Harvard,
is in Europe, taking a much-needed
rest.
No touchdown has been scored in the
Yale-Harvard games of the last three
years.
Ingraham C. Sowell, the Navy quar-
terback, played through almost the en-
tire game with q broken rib. He re-
ceived his injury a few minutes after
the game started.
Ge~orgetown's victory I'VE the Uni
versity of Virginia this season was the
first one for the Catholic collegians
