Gen. French who commands one of
the British forces that is adrift In
South Africa seems to have won a sig
nal victory as the early reports thereof
have not suffered any discount. 1t is
significant that the Beers were de-
tr5rtru by II reveTsdf or the tactics
heretofore employed by the several
British commanders. That is. instead
OF making frontal rush, French feint-
ed at the Boer front but with the big
gest part OF his force and his artillery
turned the Boer flank. The Beers were
surprised by the new tactics and were
badly demoralized. 1t would have gone
better, without a doubt, with Methuen
and Butler had they handled their
troops i'm the same way. But what
French has done indicates that the
British generals in the field have learn
ed by the hard lesson OF experience
that hammering at a strong defensive
position is useless work while flank
may give better promise of
success.

no superior. The News esteemed con-
temporary. the Evening Bulletin. of
course beats all records for circulation

But for all that, the thousands OF read

New York, August 3-Today the pres
sure of cotton was general except for
occasional and brief intervals of reac-
ton with a very few houses buying on
the reaction theory following belief
that the market had been oversold. Open
ing steady at a decline of from 2 to Z
points under adverse cables, the market
soon became unsettled and selling was
active by all classes of traders. Prices
broke to 16 points more. Crop ac-
counts were generally brilliant, reports
from the South indicated an increased
desire to sell spot cotton while spin
ners showed a procrastinating policy and
dry goods people reported an unsatisfac-
tory call for cotton goods. Reports from
sections where picking is in general
progress indicate a generous harvest and
a good quality of lint. Local traders
have been taking this to mean an early
movement of the new crop with only
a small volume of speculation to help
bear the burden of receipts. On this
account the feeling in local professional
circles remains bearish. During the
afternoon the market was particularly
nervous with wide range of variations.
Prices broke to the lowest of the day
under stop order sales. The market was
finally quiet with q net loss of to IS
points.
