her absolute control OF South Africa.
In the east she had practically taken
Zanzibar and nearly half a million
square miles of "hinterland' extending
to the Congo state in the heart OF Az
RIGA and northward to the Egyptian
Soudan. In West Africa she secured
an imperial domain in the Niger coun-
try and in the north she has a tempo
rary control over Egypt, of which the
end no man can yet discern.
It is an empire, compared with
which those of Alexander, Trajan and
Solyman seem insignificant. At the
beginning Of the reign the total popu-
lation of the British empire was about
1877, 500, 900. Today it is 3S3, 500 900, or
more than one-fifth Of that of the
whole world. The area OF the empire
is now II, 334.391 square miles. That
is equal to nearly three times the area
of Europe, or to about one-fifth the
land area of the globe. In the United
Kingdom itself there were sixty years
ago only 10000. 900 inhabitants. Now
there are about 1900. 900.

Queen Victoria was the first English

of the acquisitions of the reign.

An important part Of the work Of
the general staff of the German army
is that of instruction in the Kriegs

from the time of General Scharnhorst

a school for the higher instruction of

he has served from three to Eve years
in command of troops, and then only
after he has passed a thorough and
searching examination as to mental
and moral qualifications. The course

Murphy s. Co.'S Stock Letter,

New York, November 22-The transac- tions in the stock market today were con siderably in excess of 100000 shares. The increased volume of business was ac., companied by general and important ad- vances in prices. The primary cause for the further development of buoyancy was increased evidence of improvement in the monetary situation, and outlook. Prelim- mary estimates of to-morrows bank statement were generally favorable The foreign exchange market was weaker and in conjunction with changes in ster- ling on the continent. precluded the pos- sibility of further gold exports this week. The renewed strength and prominence of New York Central excited decided ac- tivity in speculation.
 New York Central rose over per cent. The advance of over 3 per cent in Chica- go and Northwestern were generally re- garded as significant in connection with the movement In New York Central. The Eanderbilts, however, were without im- portant movement. Further strength was developed by Pennsylvania. and associat- cd With the movement was rise of about points in Baltimore and Chio and over per cent in Big Four. Other features of pronounced strength were Missouri Pa- cific and the anthracite and bituminous coalers. still further important advances being made in Metropolitan Railway and Manhattan Railway. but no new inf1u- ences wNre cited to explain their strength
 In the late dealings, the market showed the effect of heavy profit-taking, and closed at substantial reactions from best figures in the day.

 New York, November 22.-The short covering yesterday started an advance in Liverpool this morning aand gain or points. This carried January to 77O when the desire to take profits brought about a reaction. During the afternoon Q sharp advance to the same figure brought professionals Into the market as sellers and prices dropped sharply In about fifteen minutes January sold from ITO to 7.65 the low figure of the day. Just what caused the sudden slump was dift- cult to determine though the elimination of a short interest and moro long cot ton would go to explain great deal. There was good buying throughout tho day and while a slight reaction would not be unlikely a lighter movement as compared with last year is expected in December and prices are not likely to break much before the bureau report. There were more small crop accounts from the South Strength in all spot markets and many offers to sell were withdrawn on the advance yesterday. Liverpool was the feature today and buy ing from that direction Is reported in nearly all markets. The continent has taken hold with more activity as well and the situation looks more promising. If the crop turns out 8 moderate one, there Is likely to be a sharp advance as the South has disposed of large amount of their cotton. Drouth in Texas de- stroyed the wheat and corn crop and cotton has been sold to buy foodstuffs. There Is no indication of the actual size of the crop from receipts under such conditions as this. A prominent cotton man just back from the South says a larger portion of the crop has been sold than any one believes. He looked for 100000 bales but now thinks 10,50O,OO0 nearer the figure. Reports from dry goods districts show a big demand for sheetings from China and this should stimulate the market in many directions.

COTTON MARKET OPENS AT ADVANCE Speculation Was Decidedly the Largest of Recent Times EUROPE AND SOUTH BUY
  Market In Addition to Strong English Cables Is Supported By Light
 Receipts and Advance
 In Spot Cotton.

New York, Novem Der 22.--The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to points and gained an additional point or two immediately after the call on viz orous buying for both accounts, led by room shorts and by Wall street bulls. Speculation was decidedly the largest of recent times though far under the tre- mendous trade of a year ago. On the upturn, Europe, the South and commis- sion houses were liberal buyers particu- larly January and March options which led the improvement and repeatedly sold at ITO. In addition to strong English cables the market was strengthened by light receipts, a bad weather map and reliable reports of an advance of lis to # cent in spot prices South. A firmer ruling of print cloths, more glowing re- crop estimates from the South, were in- fluences upon which early bullish conf- dence was based. More talk of a small government crop estimate next month was indulged in. The week end figures were decidedly builish; the total amount brought into sight was 425,0o0 bales against 3S6OOO last year. Late in the day there was slight reaction under a furry of profit taking, but the market readily stiffened up again on renewed demand from shorts and fresh buying of the outside. On the close the market was steady with November unchanged and other months to 5 points higher.
