Get Nothing.

st. Petersburg, March IS. - Both
moderate and radical Russian reform
ers are making telling use of the cars
manifesto to promote the cause of free
dom. As usual the most effective agi-
tation is emanating from the secret
revolutionary publishing houses of St
Petersburg and Moscow. The Moscow
center is preparing TO introduce TO .ev-
cry freside in the empire a counter
manifesto, reading:
Comedies the Revolutionary Claim.
Liberty lovers, take noticel His
imperial majesty the ear practically
comedies our claim that the Russian
people are victims of organic political
and social wrong. He condemns the
autocratic machine as destructive of
the progressive idea and uses language
that justifies the masses, although not
definitely invited to do so, in coop
Grating with the supreme head of the
state in accomplishing reforms.
Important Because of It's Admissions.
'',rhiS manifesto issued by the car
is important because of its admissions
and not because of any reality in the
measures of emancipation to which it
haZily points. The promised religious
liberation gives no right to the Ortho-
dOX Russian 10 adopt any other Chris
tian creed. Hereafter as formerly

of civil rights and deportation to ST.

Practical Concessions Not Great.
Relative to local f-government

independence of the active 'zemstvos'
provincial cOuncilSl and town councils
founded by Alexander ii in 1864 and
1870 and subsequently curtailed and
partly abolished by Alexander III and
Nicholas II. Indeed. strict critics
might pronounce the manifesto a mas
terpiece of Won PiehWe's policy of re-
action. Nevertheless we repeat that
it is profoundly important because 1t
admits the wrongs of the people and
raises within view of all the watch

Then follows the reform programme
of the revOlutiOnaries: Enlarged land

was apparent. The market was final
ly steady at a net decline of to 10
points. The parties who were selling
cotton in the local market at the pres
ent schedule of discounts shown by
the future delivery list are doing so
largely on the ground that the mar
ket, having had an advance of over 1
cent, labors under the burden of an
over-extended long interest al, time
when receipts appear to be expanding
according to the claims made all sea-
son to the effect that cotton was in the
remote interior in larger quantities
than indicated by the lately current
movement; that only time and good
weather would be necessary to in
crease receipts as the season ad-
vanced. To-day indications were in
that direction and selling for short ac-
count was conducted with considerable
confidence. The buying was by a good
class of operators who preferred to at
tribute the larger receipts to the pur-
chases by spinners and exporters made
on a substantial demand for goods.
Total sales estimated at $50, 900 bales.

On the other hand, the buying orders
were placed on q scale downwards for
most part, and the recovery came to
a stop for lack of motive power. A
squirt in the stocks of the New York
public utilities helped the recovery, the
decision of the appellate division of the
Supreme Court at Albany being the
reason for the buying of these stocks.

ment wifi continue light for the rea-
son that the extent of the unpicked
cotton has been overestimated, at least
such will be the belief until the ratio
of receipts over last year show a good
deal of increase. Recalling the ex-
tremely bad weather all the past fall
II is difficult to see how much cotton
can possibly remain ungathered, and
this view is so general as to prevent
any progress in forcing prices down,
especially as the statistical position is
strong as ever. Scarcity of good
grades continue. and 1t also appears
that stocks at uncounted towns are
much less formidable than the bears
have all along been claiming. Little

Local traders have been united or the

sition. AdVices were received from
several points of picking again in prog
