Exercises and Bang uet

didates received the three degrees
exemplified by the order of the
Knights of Columbus in cunferring
membership
The Monroe City Council put on
the First Degree The Quincy Council
put on the Second Degree and the
Third was exemplified by the
Kansas City Council
The teams did their work in
very creditable manner indeed and
every one of the candidates in
truly broncho.busting fashion clung
to his mount with an indOmitable
determination and there was no
pussy.foot about it either.
After the deg rees were conferred
the local members augmented by
contingents from Hannibal, Moberly
Shelbina and Brookfield numbering
in all one hundred and sixty betook
themselves to the opera house
where a delightful banquet was
prepared and served by the good
ladies who decorated the hall very
neatly indeed for the occasion. The
national colors swung from the
sides and ceiling, flowers of various
hues were tastily placed here and
there through the hall and the
whole effect was that of a pretty
picture set in frame of American
Beauties BY the way we noticed
the young men were entirely pre-
occupied with admiration for the
franz work which is not usually
the case in inspecting works of art.
We do not know the number Of
courses served because we went at
them so rave nously Under the
appetizinG inspiration of excellent
music that we lost track of the
count,
Among the musical numbers
rendered during the repast Miss
Lucille Proctor's singing of Little
Bit of Heaven in the instalIment
plan. Miss Bessie Mudd's vocal
solo Somewhere a Voice is Calling
and Miss Bessie Montsomery's
inimitable prefor nance on the
violin were the most heartily ap-
plauded.
We hardly had finished Oul
Mints and Cafe Noir when oul
genial Toast master, w. B. Fahl
started the feast of oratory. j D
Robey in his happy manner spoke
words of welcome to the visiting
knights and tho uehtfully expedited
matters of add ress tor the succeed
ing speakers by mentioning for al
the names and titles of the disni
taries present.
In responding to the toast "Ou

Art Young Moved to Tears

Art Young, in the July Metropolitan.
 Congress has told the Philippine peo- pie to wait indefinitely for their inde- pendence. Having heard the debates in both the upper and lower House make bold to say that Representative Richard w. Austin of Tennessee halted the hope of liberty in the Philippines with a speech. Speaking with emotion of an American whose money is invested in a boot and shoe store in Manila. he then shouted: And what will you do with Judge Ingersoll from my state, who has his last dollar invested in a Philippine mining proposition? What will you do with the southern man from Georgia who has his every cent invested in a lumber enterprise? What will become of the other Americans hailing from every state in the union? Will you create an other Mexico for them? Oh. no, my countrymen"
 There was nothing more to be said after that. The democratic platform promise had no show against such an appeal.
 The reference to Judge Ingersoli's stock in a Philippine mine moved me to tears
 It Is obvious that this nation and the Philippine republic ought to be glad to wait, at least until we see how the judges investment turns out.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 1O.-(SpeciaL)-T strength in Liverpool this morning was caused by rebuying by continental inter- ests, who are uneasy over the weather conditions.
 Our market. after opening some points higher, gradually sold off during the day to about 10 points under Saturdays close. To have done this in face of the continued Eeavy rains in Alabama and Georgia, was a surprise to the trade. and has brought about a considerable amount of discus sion as to what it may indicate.
 Among other things, it was noticeable that certain large interests who have been bullish for a long time were steady sellers, evidently liquidating their cotton. This supplied the contracts to mill agents for southern mills, who were uneasy over the prospects in their immediate vicinity.
 It was also reported on excellent au- thority that Texas farmers were anxious to sell part of their coming crop at very much lower prices than those prevailing here. A combination of these circum- stances caused good deal of uneasiness, which together with the indifference of our mills as a whole, causes the trade to consider more seriously each day how the coming crop, together with the large carry-over from last year, is to be taken care of at prevailing prices, and whether, regardless of what the ultimate out-turn may be there will not be declining move ment as the new crop is pressed for sale.

NEW YORK COTTON
 SHOWS DECLINE
Failure of Storm to Cause Aggressive Buying Is
 Reason Given

New York. July 1o-The failure of the storm to inspire any general or aggres- sive buying seemed to discourage old longs in the cotton market here today and prices eased off under scattering liquidation or selling for a reaction. Oc- tober contracts for instance, sold down from 13.17c to 12.29c, closing at 13o1c with the general list closing at a net decline of to 13 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to points on relatively steady cables are reports of continued rain In the eastern belt over the weekend. Private had fallen at Birmingham since last Wednesday, that rivers were overflow
 ing and that serious floods were appre- hended, and the posting of storm signals along the Atlantic coast from Jackson vile to Hatteras also was factor The prospects, however, appeared to be for clearing weather working eastward from the southwest following the tropical disturbance and in the absence of any general buying prices soon turned easier under realizing.
 The fact that private crop advices from the outskirts of the storm area laid more stress on the probability of increased boil weevl activity than upon any di- rect storm damage to the crop seemed there was scattering local pressure as to encourage reactionary sentiment and prices eased off from the best Private

Clos ing prices were within a point or two of the lowest. Conflicting opinion as to the possible effect of recent excessive rais in central and eastern sections of the belt, were expressed around the ring, ut rather an optimistic view was taken of the situation by most of the local trad CTS Export today, 46,221, making 5,661- l 296 so far this season.

NET ADVANCE MADE IN WHEAT MARKET
Conflicting Reports of Rust Keeps the Market
 Nervous

Chicago, July 10.-Conhicting reports
 relative to the presence of black rust
 in the Dakotas kept the wheat market nervous today, though the bullish ten
 dency predominated and the close was
 strong at the high point, with a net
 advance of % ole to Ac with July leading at $1.oS and September at
 $1.10. Corn sold higher with gain at
 the close of from A e ssc to 1zc net,
 with July at 7sAc ahd September at 75 s @74% C. Oats finished from a shade
 to $ c %c higher and provisions varied from unchanged to 15c lower than Sat
 urday's last quotations.
 Weakness at the start in the wheat market on the absence of fresh evil dence of back rust danger was followed by an advance on message telling of further finding of the rust. Another
 break in prices resulted from denial of the rust report by the man who sent the black rust report Saturday.
 The market bulged later, on reports
 of the presence of the rust in various localities, none of which. however, pre- dicted any great damage in sight. The
 advance caused by the agitation over the black rust was aided by news from the seaboard that 500,000 bushels of what had been sold for export. Grain statistics in general were bullish but
 the black rust reports remained the
 principal factor in the days trading
 and it was expected that the Board of Trade directors would make an in- vestig gz1ion into actual crop condi- tions The strength held to the end of the session. Local cash sales o1 wheat aggregated 16.000 bushels
 Corn moved in sympathy with wheat | though in narrow limits, good weather reports failing to weaken the prices. | Cash houses were liberal takers of July corn and country holders holc | freely on the advance while export de | mand helped to maintain the gains. | Hot weather reports with expected | hastening of the harvest helped oats tc reflect the trend of the other gains l high temperature damage in southern | Illinois being feared.
 Provisions were slow and weaker with packers being credited as impor- | tant sellers Lower live hig prices alst contributed to the weakness.

Avery's Letter

After firm opening. in sympathy with good Liverpool, cotton prices were under pressure from the start.
 The Memphis Commercial Appeal report said that while unfavorable reports re- garding the crop were, numerous, owing to the storm. still the favorable reports out numbered them in big proportion.
 It must be remembered these rains have been confined to a restricted area, consid- ering the cotton belt as whole. It is also true that in many sections of the area covered they may have been bene- f1cial rather than otherwise
 Spots markets remain firm at pra actically unchanged prices. This fact wil! prob ably prevent any sharp break or drastic decline for the present. At least until there Is a free movement of new, cotton
 The August weather conditions very largely will determine the future course of prices-
 Unfavorable weather during that month could easily upset all of the present fa- vorable prospects If the plant has not a good tap root and August should be month of excessive temperatures I would expect to see heavy deterioration, which would cause sharp demand to spring up
