New York, January 1.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cabegram says.
 Although closing above the worst there was general depression in the markets here today, on account of the position of the market, due to the bad showing of the Ber- ling bank, showing a decrease of 5000 900 marks in notes and 100000 marks in cash. German banks have notified their customers that they must reduce their speculative commitments, and this brought about forced sales all day. particularly in the American department. A rumor from Can ada of a bank failure in Germany appears to have no basis except the difficulties of private banker and broker. The depression

Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt
 New York, January 4.-Liverpool declined again today 1-16d on spots and 3-64 on fu- lures, which was considered discouraging by the bulls and led to our market opening 2 to points below last night. But at these figures, which represented a drop of 25 points since Tuesday. a considerable amount of new local buying followed, and prices quickly recovered seven points, but thereafter the market ruled rather sliig- glish. There Is not much outside business being done, the bulk of transactions being mainly reversing straddles between Liver, pool and New York. There is nothing definite yet about the receipts, which are being closely watched. The afternoon ses- sion opened somewhat improved on some figures of Testers that came over the wires, and which were interpreted as fndi- eating a small crop. While Liverpool has been buying there today against straddles, the Continent has been seller.

THE MAN FOR SECOND PLACE.
Question Which Worries Republican
Leaders at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. June 17.-Speculation,
gossip and informal conferences yes
terday among national committeeman
and other leading Republicans who are
here has failed to indicate a crystal
lization of sentiment around any indi-
vidual candidate for vice president.
Neither Senator Hanna nor those who
are close to him give any information
that the administration has choice.
The number Of delegates who will vote
Tor any man that the administration
favors seems 10 accentuate the general
impression that the nominee will be
the man most acceptable to the presi-
dent.
eff you would take us into your con-
fidence in this matter 1t would simpli-
fly matters and help us greatly" said
one prominent Republican to Senator
Hanna yesterday. The senator re-
piled: you know all know"
Senator Platt's talk of Odell OF
New York caused a little f1utter here
and Dolliver stock took an upward
turn about the same time, the cause
being the Impression that in case Odell
should be pressed by New York there
would be a concentration on the Iowa
man by those who do not favor the
New York man. The candidacy Of
Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff Of New York,
who arrived yesterday, is still being
kept in evidence by his friends, but
without apparently any backing from
the Republican managers and with
the distinct disapproval of Senator
Hanna. 1t is generally believed that
Senator Allison has made 1t plain that
he will not be a candidate under any
circumstances.
The position of Secretary Long
causes considerable comment and 1t is
being freely asked why the Long can
didacy should have proceeded so far
unless it has the tacit consent OF the
president. The fact that Long is a
member of McKinley's cabinet gives
rise to an undeniable widespread be-
lief that the secretary of the navy
would finally receive the support OF
the administration. If such is the
case, however, it is being carefully
kept from view. AS the matter
stands 1t would seem that Long, Dol
liver and Fairbanks are the leading
possibilities for the vice presidency

DELAWARE CONTEST REMAINS.
Republican National Committee Dis
poses of All Others.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE Repub-
lican national committee yesterday
put in three long sessions Oh the con-
tests which have been brought before
1t and adjourned late last night with
the controversies practically disposed
of except that from Delaware. This
has been referred back to the sub
committee with instructions to again
endeavOr to bring the factions to a
basis Of agreement and will receive
final action to-day. An important ac-
ticn Yesterday was the seating Of the
Brcwnlow delegation of the Tennessee
contest and refusing admission to the
friends Of Pension Commissioners
Evans. The contest was very bitter,
and at one time there was the posi-
bility of a serious encounter between
Brownlow and Evans.

walls of the capital are guarded by

Gen. Tung, acting under orders from
the empress dowager, said that no
more foreign troops shall enter the
sacred city. On Monday the ministers
sent a demand to the tsung II yamun
that the gates be opened, declaring
that otherwise the foreign troops
would enter forcibly. To this no reply
was given. A second message went

Notwithstanding assurances to the con-
trary. sides with China. Some foreign
troops are already reported to be In
the envlrons Of Picking, and the atti-
tude of the Chinese troops Is increas-
ingly menacing.
1.-The streets OF Peking," continues
the correspondent of the Daily Ex-
press, "are reported to be seething
with
Anti-Foreign Mobs,
clamOring for destruction of the lega.
tons and the death Of the foreign min
listers. Even were the tsung Ii yamun
disposed to restrain the violence Of the
reactionaries it is considered highly
fmproba bic that they would be able to
hold them in check. Danger for the
foreign ministers from the Chinese
will arrive when the relief column
comes in sight of Picking. 1t is still
felt here that the foreign force is total
ly inadequate TO battle with the
hordes of

outside the gates, which now include
the imperial troops from Shan Hal
Chang. A disquieting element in the
situation is the fact that although the
Russo-Chinese telegraph line from
Peking via Kia-tcha eastern Siberia)
Is working again, the transmission Of
messages is rightly refused. From
Tien-tsin 1t is reported that the foreign
forces in the harbor will seize the
Iaku forts, and If necessary,
lombard Them.
The international column still ap-
pears TO be at Lang-fang engaged in
slowly repairing the railway. which,
according to dispatch from Tien-tsin
to the Daily Mail, dated June IA, can
not be effected for weeks. The force
Is short of provisions, and as ii Is
without field transport it must stick
to the railway. The report that the
mixed forces will seize Taku forts Is
taken to mean that the foreign COM
handlers expect no aid from the Chi
nese government in depressing the dis
orders and are determined to make
Iaku serve as base for the opera
lions.
