Cotton Letter.
Raleigh, N. c., October 2. 1908.

Raleigh, N c., October 2, 1903
There has been less than the usual ex-
element in the cotton market this year
This was due mainly to the approaching
government 1erort on the condition of the
crop in the various States of the South.
1t was generally expected that the report
would show a decline of from to IL
points, and the uncertainty over the ex-
tent of this decline led to a more moderate
trade in futudes as well as to the elimi-
nation of the interest already in the mar
ket. Some feared that the decline would
be greater than expected, and some were
of the opinion that the deterioration was
not as great as reported. This uncertain
ty, together with the closing out of the
Septembe rdeal and the crash in the stock
market left the market very irregular.
At one time prices advanced sharply and
then lest about all the gain. No one
cared to buy freely, and few desired to
sell. Cotton was offered freely from the
South, receipts being the heaviest of the
season. Later In the week the failure of
two prominent Southern banking firms
had q depressing influence on sentiment.
1t is to the development outside the cot
ton industry, rather than to events inside
the cotton world that caution is direct

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 2.-Stocks made good
way today against the public announce
ment of the financial embarrassment IL
Baltimore This news caused rather
feverish tone in the early dealings and
evidence of some liquidation was assigned
as a result. For the most part 1T was be-
lieved that the public announcement serv-
ed to explain some past events in the
market rather than to threaten future
results Some of the stocks which have
been weakest during the past week and
subject to recurrent liquidation are now
known to have been sold by local
banking house, which held them as col.
lateral for loans to the embarrassed
houses. The recent mood of Wall Street
has been so full of mysteries and so
prone to exaggerate them that explicit
information, even of an unfaVorable
character is rather welcomed. PROBES
Slonal traders are inclined to buy q
market when the bad news is out. AS the
day progressed, it became manifest that
there was no acute pressure of stocks, and
on the contrary, well defined party o.
professional operators were inclined to
buy Commission houses also reported
some slight demand from outside sources.
There were some very heavy blocks ot
United States Steel bonds marketed. which
could have hardly been other than syndi-
cate holdings. but there seemed a good
demand at the same time for the pre-
ferred stock. The inference was drawn
that arbtrage operations between the two
securities had been resumed by the ex-
tended syndicate. The prospect of a
strong bank return helped the late mark
ct, indications pointing to a gain in cash
by the banks of $500, 900 to $4,000, 600.
It is evident that the principal movement
of currency is still to the cotton region,
and exchange at western points fails to
show prospects of an early demand from
that quarter. sharp drop of over 4
point in st. Paul Just before the close

the appearance of bear drive, bnt it

i've influence Many who would be free
buyers Of cotton as result of the crop
deterioration are willing to stand aside for
the moment and await the effects of the
depression in the stock morket. This Is
the critical season of the year. Often the
market breaks seriously under the weight
of cotton from the new crop, only to al
vance later in the year. 1t is too early in
the season to form definite ideas of the
supply or demand for cotton. At best
there are only guesses to be had in pro
duction, and they are now on much
smaller scale than was the case a month
ago. If reports are to be relied upon
there will not be any overproduction IN
cotton this year But cotton IS maturing
rapidly and is being shipped in large guam
titles. There is no heavy buying in any
direction. no teh other hand there is more
or less short selling on the part of those
who believe in lower prices. With cotton
moving freely and the buying power linn
tied it is difficult to see ones way clean
to buying for higher prices. The market
is not broad market, and people evident
ly do not feel sure enough over the out
look to buy generally. We would take =
very cautious attitude on the market 70:
a while at least.

Baltimore failures also exerted an influence

WANT MANCHURIA
RUSSIANS DEMAND THAT CHINA
YIELD PROVINCE.
Immediate Effect il to Stir japan
to Warlike Attitude.-.Three Jap
anese Warships Ordered to New.
chwang---Text Of the Russian
Demands Made Public.

Picking, April 24.-Russia has de-
manded that China sign an agreement
practically ceding to her the sovereign
ty of Manchuria, and excluding other
nations from that country. The Rus
sian charge d'affaires, Nj. Plancon,
has informed Prince Ching, president
OF the foreign Office, that no steps in
the evacuation of Manchuria will be
taken until this agreement is signed.
Prince Ching refused the Russian
terms, but his refusal probably pleases
Russia as we'll as his acceptance would
have done, because either alternative
means the REIMBURSEMENT of Chinese
sovereignty in Manchuria.
The Russian demands are as follows:
First, no more Manchuria ports or
towns TO be opened; second, no more
foreign consuls are to be admitted into
Manchuria; third, that no foreigners
except Russians are to be employed in
the public service of Manchuria; fourth,
the present status of the administration
of Manchuria is to remain unchanged 4;
fifth, the customs receipts at the port
of Newchwang are to be given to the
Russo Chinese bank; sixth, sanitary
commission is to be organized under
Russian control; seventh, Russia is en-
titled to attach the telegraph wires and
poles of all Chimes lines in Manchuria
and, eighth, no territory in Manchuria
is to be alienated to any other power.
No Interpretation has been given to
the Chinese of the Russian interpreta-
ton of the fourth demand. Chinese
officials are greatly disturbed, but they
are powerless.
While the foregoing demands were
before the Chinese for consideration,
M. Plancon assured his colleagues ex-
plicitly that the only reason for the de-
lay in restoring the government of
Newchwang to the Chinese was the or
ganization of sanitary commission.
There has been much feeling in Brit
ish circles over the appointment OF a
but this revelation of Russia's deter.
Mination to retain control of Manchu-
ria and close the door there, rops this
appointment OF its importance.
Yokohama, April "a Three Japan
ese warships have been ordered to New
chwang. Marquis Ito has held secret
conference with the leading Japanese
statesmen. The Russian demands for
privileges in Manchuria have excited
the japanese press, which insists On
vigorous action, confident that the Uni
ted States az we'll as Great Britain,
will support Japan.
An agreement has been reached by
which political crisis has been avert
ed, but the governments naval incre-
ment proposals remain unchanged.
London, April 24-.The Picking cor
respondent of the Times describes the
first article OF the Russian demands on
China, namely, that no more Manchu-
rian ports be opened, as slap in the
face of the United States, this country
having proposed the opening of Mukden
and Takushan az treaty ports.
