Santa a nna is continually calling upon the
Government for means. The Clergy have
twice refused to guarantee loan OF two mil
lions, but the Government had determined to
issue drafts for that amount on their RESPONSE
biity, compelling them to redeem it at the end
of two wears. The drafts were to be issued in
various amounts upon individuals of wealth,
who were to be compelled to advance the mo-
ney on them. 1t is Ta?orted that in chihuahua
the Government had organized force of 1900
regulars and 1000 volunteers. San Anna
is reported to have $4,000 men. The Mexlcans
say that Taylor has suffered much from deser-

that Santa A ma had threatened to retreat to
Queretaro if they don't send him the TWO mil
lion.

WAR AND PEACE SPECULATION WASH
ington correspondent OF the N. y Journal of
Commerce writes, under date If the 9Th INST,
as follows:
1t now evident that the terms Of peace with
Mexico viii be the Rio ande to its sources
as our boundary; the indemnity for the ex penscs
of the war and for the claims of our citlzens
At the same time it is equally evident that our
Government is willing to take territory as an
equivalent for these indemniIies. They will
probably consider the CALIFORNIA; as an equiv
alent. II they insist upon anything beyond
this, il will be the extension of the western
boundary from the Rio Grande to the Sierra
Madre.
The two million are asked for with a view
to enable the Executive to obtain a treaty
on these terms. By paying this sum to the
Government of Mexico their pride will be
soothed; for the transaction will then appeal
to the world ss voluntary cession Of territory
Tor an equivalent in money
That Mexico can in any other way obtain
peace and save other portions Of her domain
which we now hold is out Of the question:
The only means would be 20 pay US in cash the
amount Of the indemnities which we demand
THIS she cannot do, for her debt now amounts
to more than hundred millions, and she il

Foreign Markets.

LIVERPOOL, November 10, 1916.
Our Cotton Market rema ins in much the
same state as reported by the last steamer,
when qualities below fair had sunk I'd. per
h. from the highest point; at which they have
since continued steady with languid demand
The latter accounts of the American crop
have had little influence on the mark cts; the
favorable reports from the A tlantc States be-
ing counterbalanced by the gloomy reports
from the Southwestern districts. The es-
mates from the two sections differ about 300,-
600 bales Meantime the spinners and man
ufacturers purchase on a scale much below
their usual transactions, and many of them
have curtalled their working hours about 4
hours per day. In this way the consumption
Of cotton will continue to be curlailed until
circumstances more clearly show the proba-
BILE future course of the trade. The sales
of Cotton for the week ended on the 9TH inst,
were only 20,560 bales; and for the week
ended the 18th, the business was $4,000 bales
The American description sold the past
week consisted of 1880 Uplands ST 64 liz
GO Orleans at d. 10: 1910 Alabama aud
Mobile at a. a 81; and $50 Sea Island at 81
lG4d. per ID. The transaction for the las t
four days to this evening, amount to about
$4,000 bales, about 5000 of it on speculation
The late decline has not extended to the bet
ter qualities, and the quotations for fair remain
the same, say fair Upland 81; fair N,blc. 6! i;
