las been contended that the bureau would
show a net reduction in the cotton acreage
of u to Is per cent
| The heavy sales in Liverpool OF lo,ooo oaies'
and the activity in New England spinning
citcles are certainly good factors in the situ-
at,cr. The weather map is eagerly watched'

| Houston expects tomorrow 1900 to 400 bales,

| New York advanced spots. but other mar

Cargil Richardson say OF today's market:
Liverpool sent an excellent market early to-
day quoting deliveries le-64d up and $4,000
taken on the spot, This with the report Of
enormous sales OF print cloths and good prices
az Fall River. stimulated our early markets,
New York selling around the opening | to
Cher than Saturday. Later reports from the
south of clear, warm weather, following rains
III numerous sections over sunday, brought
OFT some selling for both accounts, and prices

market without some serious mishap TO the
crop, when a big advance would be SEEM but
occasional rains, followed by pretty weather,
such as we are row having. will cause a feel
ing of bearishness 10 prevail, and prices might
decline under liquidation much more than
tdey should at this season OF the year
The bureau report Wednesday, which will
give the percentage OF AREA planted will hard
" be bearish, but II is doubtful II it will have
more than passing effect upon the market.
New York, May SIS. Mum, Son e. Co. say
OF cotton; After opening strong, unchanged
to points advance on improved cables, which
brought out some buying orders, the market
rslapsed into another dull, narrow session
The close was barely steady at about the low
est point.
There were no new developments to the
crop situation, with the exception of some
complaints OF dry weather in the Atlantic
States. Weather conditions on the whole are
generally favorable. Operators and outside
investors are holding off pending the govern
n.ent report, upon which the market hinges.
If y Is as the bulls anticipate, che good Liver
pool spot demand and the firm tone OF the
SPOT markets on this side will undoubtedly
help to advance prices.

OPPOSES THE WAR
Says the United States
Is Foolish.

MIGHT BETTER SELL OUT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. n.-Japanese
papers received by the steamer Saint
Irene from Yokohama contain an inter
view given by Ii Hung Chang to an
American soldier correspondent at Picking.
The Japan Advertiser, which obtained
the interview from the correspondent,
says:
I'm discussing the question of the war
in the Philippine Islands the old Chinese
statesman said the United States shoaId
not now be fighting there He blamed
the United States severely for having de
serted it's traditional policy, and assured
an American officer who accompanied the
correspondent that had President Grant
been alive now the country would never
which induced the struggle now going OF
In the Philippines. He prophesied that it
would be disastrous to the United States
II It continued to enforce such a policy"
the raising of several regiments of Chi
nese mercenaries to fight the Filipinos, he
said China would not object If they were
enlisted in the Philippines and with the
knowledge and consent of the Consul
there. I'm my opinion" said Ii Hung
Chang to the interviewer, 1.-The best thing
the United States can do is to sell the
Philippine. Islands to Japan, who, I have
reason to believe would readily buy them
for the sum paid to Spain for them.
Then, with the question disposed Of bet
ter than 1t ever will be under the present
policy, the United States should clear off
home, and. dropping the idea of a Philip
pine Island colony, attend to it's own bust
ness" If this course was not pursued,
the next best way, he thought, was to
buy Aguinaldo out.
The Saint Irene brought the largest
cargo ever carried out of a Japanese port.
She brought 5000 dead weight, or about
10,000 measurement. News was brought
by her that Hongkong raised a corps Of
fifty volunteers who were offered to Brit
q n in fla 20 nc a
also offered a corps. Neither was ac-
cepted by the War Office
"A japanese paper. referring to The
Manila corps, says: 1t Is vel WeIl- know
subjects fighting for the United States in
the Philippines"
