Some startling information has come
from the far east, the announcement
being made that Russia has intimated
to Japan that she must withdraw from
Formosa. The fact has attracted notice
that Russia has massed at V~ladivostock
q strong fleet and 100, 900 men and vast
stores of war material. England is
said to be recalling her inferior war
vessels from the Orient and replacing
them with stronger ones, but, never
theless, is now spoken of as the third
naval power in the far east, Russia
being the first, and the second being
left unnamed. Russia's course is al
luded to sarcastically in the Japanese
press as a splendid policy Of aggres-
sion. One journal says that Russia has
practically turned Japan out of Corea,
and declares that anything short of
hypnotism of the most powerful order
absolutely fails to explain why all the
world stands with folded arms and in
helpless apathy watches the develop
ment of the gigantic plans of Russia
for the domination of the East. xvi
IDENTIFY the fear Of Russian aggression
is becoming more pronounced in the
east.

Suns Cotton Rev1ew.

New York, July 2.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined points, rallied and advanced to points closing quiet and steady with prices point lower to 3 points higher. The sales were 134, 300 bales.
 Today's features: The decline in the Liv- erpool market. together with an estimate by the North Carolina weather bureau, giv- ing the condition of the crop in that state at e9 per cent, caused a weaker opening in cot. ton here. The decline was only temporary however, for Liverpool rallied and this fact together with covering of shorts and un- favorable crop advices from Arkansas and Mississippi produced a rally in which all of the loss was recovered and a small advance ensued. Spot cotton here was more active at firmer prices. Realizing before the close however, and renewed long liquidation pro- duced a recession and the improvement was lost in most instances.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Tettar.

New York, July A-(Special.)- .)-The cotton market today wore a hesitating aspect. A sharp decline in Liverpool caused lower prices at the opening January selling at 632, but as Liverpool gradually recovered her loss short covering here sent the price of January up to 6.42. The crop accounts, however, were too good and the confident predictions of the early shipment of round lots of new cotton were too numerous to allow the advance to be maintained. Point by point the market gave way and the close was quiet and steady, with 6.32 bid for Jam uary. We anticipate fiuctuating market with lower prices in the long run for the present. We favor sales on bulges and talk ing profits on moderate slumps.
