turfmen interested in trotting and pac-

race track near Alameda. At present
there is no training ground for the har-

it has been almost impossible to hold
trotting events anywhere adjacent to

! ConStantinOple, JAN N.-Ihere IS
rumor here that Russia is arranging
with the sultan for the occupation OF
| Armenia, but il is not confirmed by any
| discoverable signs. and is discredited
/ in diplomatic circles.
| London, Eng, Jan. 2S.-The Daily
| News this morning prints a dispatch
! from Vienna which asserts that news
J has been received there from Constan-
| tinople and SebastOpol which agree
that Russia has a fleet lying at Sebas-
topoI and at Odessa. and that the eau
casian armies of Russia are being con-
| centrated upon the Armenian frontiers
in readiness TO move next spring 10
realize the plans of Peter the Great, for
the partition of Turkey between the
powers, Russia taking Armenia and
| Constantinople, France taking Syria
and Palestine and England taking
Egypt and the eastern shores or the
Persian gulf, the remainder of the Tur-
kish empire to be divided among the
other powers.
The Daily News also has a dispatch
from SebastOpOl, which records the Sc
cret preparations going forward there,
Of shipping, men and ornaments for
volunteer fleet. 1t is the general be-
lief, this dispatch aftirms, that these
preparations foreshadow some action
in the spring.
London, Eng, Jan. 2S.-The Chronicle
this morning has an editorial recalling
the success which attended President
JeffersOn's sending a feet 10 Algiers
and advocates the great powers for
mally inviting the United States TO send
a fleet to Turkey.
1.-The mere sight of such a formidable
display" says the Chronicle, would
suffice to bring the sultan to his senses"
If, however, action We're needed, the
Chronicle urges, the British fleet should
cooperate.
Berlin, Jan. 28.-The Berliner Tage-
blatt says:
1T will be the duty of continental
diplomacy TO convince America that
England's motives in the Armenian
question are political and not humane,
and thus dissuade the United States
from cooperating with England.
Boston, Mass, Jan. IA letter from
Constantinople under date of Jan. 4,
surveys the general condition of af-
fairs in the disturbed district of Tur-
key. The writer states the general
condition is not good, though at some
places it is improved but confidence is
weak.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


New York, Oct. 2.-(Special) -Liverpool
seemed to have more faith in the bureau
report than traders here had. Notwithstand-
ing this the market was very weak in the
early trading today, January opening at 7S2
and selling quickly down to 7.76. The re-
ceipts were heavy and for time everybody
expected a further Decline But kilograms
announcing cold rains and threatened frosts
in the southwest changed the temper of the
market in trice. The leading German
bear became a heavy and conspicuous buyer
and the lesser shorts FASTENED to follow his
example. For the rest of the day the mar
ket wore a more cheerful aspect, and the
close was at the best prices of the day, I95
being bid for January, with the tone very
steady This was the first day in which the
market has shown decided strength in the
teeth of very large receipts, and many
shrewd operators believe that we have al
ready seen the lowest prices and that the
turning point in the market is close at hand.
