dred and fifty revolutionists were kill
ed, according to official turkish report
in the fighting at Sorovitch, Aug. y.
The same dispatches. which have been
communicated to the Russian and Aus
t1i,n embassies state that the insur-
ractionary movement is increasing
daily. Hhmi Pasha, inspector general
of the Sultan's Macedonia reforms, re-
ports that the young men in all the
J,uIsarian villages are fleeing to the
nountains to join the insurgent bands.
MANY among the Bulgarian peasantry
wished to remain neutral, but were
compelled by threats to help the revo-
Iutionary committees.
Hussen Hilmi Pasha, who has been
appointed vail of Monastir, reports a
similar spread of the insurrectionary
movement in the vlayet of Salonica,
where, he says, the committees are re-
solved on same campaign of massacre,
incendiarism and pilages in the Vilayet
of Monastir.
kilograms received Wednesday

the town of Krushevo is still occupied
by the insurgents. fOuf thousand
Turkish troops with artillery surround
tho town and are preparing to attack
AMI if possible, retake the position.
Fighting with the rebels is in progress
in the district Of Dibra, where it APP
pear: that the Albanians are attacking
Bulgarian villages.
The insurgents continue to devastate
the district of koritsca ana have cap
ttred important Turkish supplies Of
provisions. McrG or less severe fight
inr is reported ii the districts of Kas-
toria and F'lorina. Three hundred in
surGonts are assembled on the heights
between GievSvcli ana Yetije. Twenty

massacred in the village of ZiVernini,
near Pcrlen, by the insurgents. Mill
tary stores have been taken from the

dynamite outrages.

MIR. PRICE ON COTTON

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Ths cotton market yesterday and today has sold at practtcallv the highest prces of the season in New Work and in New Orleans. The recent advance has been largely due to my acceptance of tendArs of about 100 900 bales of spot cotton dalty- cred to me upon January contracts The sit uation, which I have forseen from the com. mencement of the season. has been in a meas ure. realized and discounted. In that spirit of candor which always observe towards the public. take this means of announcin1 tba, I have today resold all the cotton I oxsnei and for the present at least doubt the DOS. sibiltty of much further advance in the cotton market. NS'''"
 Those who have acted upon my tudeme1, nave had the opportunity to liquidate any cot- ton they have owned at the highest prices of the season. and am unwilling even tacitJv to leave any one under a misapprehension of my position VI
 At the lowest possible estimate there remains of this years crop to come into sight 35o0 900. The worlds visible supply of Americsn cotton last evening was about 3, POO 000 bales and it is thus obvious that there is JT the world today an unconsumed total of aboi,t 100000 bales of American cotton worth about $500. GOO. GOO Trade in America haa undoubtedly reached it's apogee and I doubt seriously whether the demand at present vyiII DO equal to the assimilation of so large ! quantity of cotton at current prices which closely approximate g cents Der bound Tntc. Iata1 in the season, unless consumption be checked by maintenance of the values, 1t Ia nrob- able that a fresh advance may be initja tad depending upon the prospects of inc nsT, crop. but for the present am Inclined to ad. vlse all holders of cotton to accent current figures where obtainable.

H. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.

ISpeClal lu The AuNeAAASer'I
 New Orleans, La., Jan. 3.-Liverpool advices were disappointing, consequently our market opened lower and declined additional shortly after on realizing. Fresh buying. however. came in later on the expectation of a very bullish census estimate Monday, causing an advance of loss points on the day. The light move gard to the final yield of the crop as well as the anticipation of a small estimate to be issued by the census on Monday have heen instrumental in occasioning an advance of l cent pound from the bot tom. While there is still a great differ ence existing as to the probable yield the face of the returns now point to crop slightly in excess of last years. For sake of argument assuming that the crop Is no larger than last year, when values reached g cents. cotton Is not cheap and therefore we suggest that our friends op- crate conservatively from now on, be- cause if receipts increase the chances are values cannot be maintained. Referring to the census estimate to be issued Mon- day 1t is well known that large purchases have been made on the probability of the report pointing to a crop Of about 10, 900, GOO as 1t is presumed 1t will corroborate the returns made to that department on October IS last, which Indicated a crop then of about 100000. Last year the census estimate of the crop on April l was 9,60000O and the actual out turn was 10.6S1,O 600 or nearly 1.100,00O in excess of their estimate. Irrespective of these facts sentiment is extremely bullish and any favorable feature will superinduce a fur
