COTTON EXCHANGE
J.
After a Short Advance Prices
Gradually Dropped.
STEADY TONE AT CLOSE
Sentiment Favored the Staple as Re-
ceipts Failed to Reach Predictions.
Southern Markets Reported Firm
on Good Export Demand

New York, November 21-It was another
day of light speculation on the cotton ex-
change.
The market made a steady start with an
advance of 1q3 points, and for a while con-
tinued the upturn, with demand from
shorts and purchases by Liverpool repre-
sentatives and the south the features of
business. But after the first hour trading
dwindled down to small room interchange
of accounts. Prices slowly fell back to the
close of last night from which level there
was little departure for the rest of the ses-
sion.
Sentiment averaged up decidedly in favor
of the staple, as receipts failed to reach
predictions, as southern spot markets
reported firm on good export demand, as
clearances for Europe exceeded port re-
ceipts and a short crop testimony came in
with as much freedom as at any time of
late. The market was very steady in tone
at the close, with prices net 246 points
higher, room shorts having sought cover
with a rush during the last few minutes.

London, Sept es.-The general feel
ing, including that of the pro-Boers,

published dispatch of the secretary OF
state for the colonies, MIR. Chamberlain,
to the British high commissioner In
South Africa, Sir Alfred Miner. clears
the way for peace if the Beers de-
sire it. In any event. it is pointed out.
it affords further delay. which. i'll the
case of Great Britain is certainly adj
vantageous, as it gives time for the re-
Enforcement of the garrisons at the
Cape. The papers generally, however,
express the hope that President krue-
ger will now see his way TO meet Great
Britain's views and the Westminster
Gazette, which is not an anti-Boer pa
Der. says:
"President krueger and his advisers
still have chance of securing peace
with independence"
| In the meanwhile the dispatch of
troops to South Africa proceeds unin-
terruptedly. Three field batteries ar
rived at Birkenhead today and will
embark for Durham. Natal.
\ cablegram from Cape Town says:
"Quantities of stores and ammunition
are leaving here daily. The movement
OF troops to Natal is merely u precan-
| .ionary measure to secure the coal
mines, and is nowise in the nature of
II menace. There are no imperial troops
on the border. Rumors OF collisions
should be received with caution"
A dispatch from Pretoria says that
/ Il,
burgher, who was practicing with it,
burst recently and nearly killed him,
with the result that a great number
of burghers are gravely concerned at
the apparent insecurity of the new
weapon. They assert that the cart
ridges are worthless aud are appealing
to the government to revert to the
martini or investigate and remedy the
grievances.
The Times has a dispatch from 10

lay is creating the worst possible I'M

who tauntingly boast that while Great
Britain deprecatcs delay upon the part

necessarily prolongs the controversy
because she is afraid to follow up hen
own game of bluff with the arguments
of force. Reports are heard on all
sides of the eagerness of the Beers to
start hostilities, and their postpone
ment is said to be solely due to the
restraining influence of General Jou-
bert. 1t is added that it liz believed
that this influence cannot be exercised
much longer. There is a circumstantia
rumor that Joubcrt has received i'm

Dispatch OF the Secretary to Brit sh
High Commissioners.


High Commissioners.
London, Sept. 2s.-The officials of
the foreign Office last evening gave out
the text of the letter of the secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber
lain, to the British high commissioner
in South Africa, Sir Alfred Miner,
dated September %.
The British reply expresses regret
hat her majesty's offer, number five,
of September s, had been refused and
says:
The object her majesly's government
had in view in the recent negotia ions has
been stated in a manner which cannot adj
such substantial and immediate represent
tation for the nItlandcrs as will enable
them to secure for themselves that fair
and just treatment which was formally
majesty intended to secure for them when
she granted privileges of self-government
to the Transvaal. No conditions less
comprehensive than those contained In
the telegram of September can be relied
on to effect this object. The refusal of
the South African government to enter
does, after four months of protracted ne
gotiations. themselves the climax of five
years of extended agitation, makes 1t use
less to further pursue the discussion on
perial government is now compelled to
consider the situation afresh and formu-
late its own proposals for final settle
rnent of the issues which have been ere
ated in South Africa by the policy con-
stantly followed for many years by the
government of South Africa. They will
communicate the result of theh delibera-
tions in later dispatch.
In a later communication, dated SEN
TENDER e. the imperial government takes
up the charge Of breach of faith inslnu-
ated by Secretary of State Reitz Septem-
Der is which I'VE cannot pass over in 81
lence.' Mr. Chamberlain then says: The
proposals made by the South African re-
public in it's letters. of August 10 and -
by the British agent from the state attor-
ney as claimed On the contrary the
state attorney sounded the British agent,
both in writing and in converse tion. as
government would waive the invitation
to joint inquiry and the result of the
communications was the proposals made
by tne south African government in these
letters. 1t is impossible that the South
African government could have any doub.

was actually the same as the British
agent had foreshadowcd to the state at
torney. and which the South African
government must have ANTICIPATED in the
proposals.
The imperial government also denies
that its telegram of September Is sub
ihtuted an entirely new proposal for
he invitation to the joint committee
OF inquiry. The imperial government
then quotes the dispatch from South
Africa, August IA. quoting an alterna-
ftise Proposal identical with that which,
the imperial government is said 10
have substituted. and the commmnica-
