There seems to be a loop-holc of
escape from a prolonged struggle be-
tween Greece and Turkey, the latter
government agreeing to withdraw
its troops from the frontier if Greece
will do the same. There is consid-
cradle confusion Of statements as to
which of the conlbatants is the ag-
gressor--both declares that Il fight
was forced upon them. "A peaceful
termination of the struggle is to be
hoped for soon; the whole world
suffers indirectly in the terrible de
struction of life and property consc-
qucnt upon warfare between two
nations, and the interests involved
may invite successful mediation in
this conflict.

London, Dec. 7.-Walter Croot of
Newcastle, England, who was defeated
for the bantam weight championship of
the world ut the National Sporting club
last night by Jimmy Barry of Chicago,

he received during the contest The
Knockout blow consisted of severe
punch over the heart and then crush

manned unconscious so long that medical
assistance was called. 1t was found
that he had sustained n severe concus-

consciousness, and expired at o o'clock
this morning.
Barry, who was arrested shortly after
the death of Croot, was then taken to

Dry Goods,

New York, Dec 7.-Rcports of lower
prices TO be made in staple cottons are
the feature of the dry goods market to-
day. Up to the close. however, there had
been none reported. but the feeling is
strong among dealers that this will be
done in the near future. At least one
prominent agent has signifed his inten-
ton to give lower price for certain
staple in bleached goods and this will
probably cause Il decline all along the
line. In the meanwhile, reports show
that trading is limited. In brown goods
there is little interest displayed, whether
in shirtings or in wide sheetings, and
bleached goods are scarcely better, so
far as general results are concerned.
Manufacturers and convertcrs are still
the leading buyers in the market. hut
other purchasers are so small that the
aggregate result does not amount to
much. Export goods are still without
feature. selling very slowly and only at
prices which are liberal concessions ON
the part of sellers. Coarse colored cot
tons are dull in all, grades. Printing
cloths show no added interest. The quo
tation is still > lac.
