WILD DAY IN cOTTON,TRADE
Sensational Advance at Liverpool Sets
Market AGOg.

A New York dispatch. dated Febru-
AIRY 20, says: The widest excitement
prevailed on the cotton exchange to-
day following an erratic. sensational
advance in prices at Liverpool, the lat
ter market closing today AT IA net rise
of 3m3 lO-64d on the future list and
5-32d in the spot quotation as COM
pared with the closing of Wednesday.
The Liverpool advance, according to
private cables, was To "A considerable
extent on the report then in c~ircula-
ton to the effect that Cronie had
surrendered. But apart from the south
African situation the English cotton
trade manifested alarm in consequence
of the arbitrary attitude of holders of
cotton in this country. with their own
stocks down TO 90, 900 bales against
l.sOl 200 a year ago, and l,l70,O 900 bales
two years ago.
Yet they are taking only onc-third
of the exports now in progress from
the American %seaboard, the other two
thirds going to the continent. There
was IA large amour of selling, but
everything offered was promptly alb
sorbed, and the market closed practi-
cally at the highest point of the day,
an advance at o to - points. The best
advance had been 20 to 20 points.

and he asserted that nothing had come
to hand there.
General Cronje. therefore. is still un-
beaten. No other construction is
placed upon the three days silence of
Lord Roberts. Yet no II sees how it
is humanity possible, Judging from the
descriptions of his situation Wednes-
day morning, for him to resist so long.
Great Britain does not withhold admi-
ration for the valor of "a losing fight
against such odds.
