NO LOSS OF LIFE.
Togo's Attempt to Bottle Up Russian
Fleet Failed.


Toxic, Feb. 26.-Vice Admiral T0gO's
attempt To bottle up the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur by sinking fleet Of
StOnc-laden merchant steamers in the
mouth OF the harbor, evidently failed.
though the venture caused no loss Of
life. and the vessels lost were not OF
great value.
Five ships were prepared by Vice
Admiral Togo for the attempted block
ade. -Four are reported to have been
sunk, but the fate Of the fifth is un-
known here. 1t IS presumed that It
withdrew with the other Japanese Ves-
sells. The hve vessels were filled with
stones so as 10 make the obstruction
permanent. and were manned by vol
unteer merchant crews. It was impos-
sibIe 10 select naval officers and sailors
on account of their great rivalry to
participate in the daring venture
Steamers Dashed In
Accompanied by four battIeships.
nine cruisers and numerous vessels Of
the torpedo dotiIia. the st0ne-iaden
steamers reached Port Arthur on We'd
nesday. While the feet engaged the
shore batteries, the steamers made a
dash for the mouth of the harbor, di-
dec1ly under the Russian guns.
Details of the attack have not been
received here. but il IS evident that
the Russian fire sank the steamers he
fore they reached the points planned
for their laundering by the Japanese.
1t il said that ali of the crews Of the
four vessels escaped in boats and were
picked up By Japanese torpedo boat
destroyers. The report that two Of the
torpedo boat destr0yers were sunk by
the HussiaDsds denied
No Damage Done.
The naval department has received a
brief dispatch from. the commander Of
one Of the torpedo boat destroyers say
ing that no lives and no warships were
lost and that no damage was inflicted
by the Russians. Pending the receipt
Of the official report of Vice Admiral
Togo. the naval department declines to
make any announcement regarding the
affair.
The fiEe merchant vessels which were
prepared for sinking were the Jinsen
NTaru, of 1881 tons; the Tien Tsin Ma
ru. of 2943 tons; the Hokoku Maru, Of
2776 tons; the BuyO NIaru, Of 1.16S tons,

NORTHERN SECURITIES HOLDS

Minds of the speculators Seem Be- logged by the Vista of New Development in the

New York. April 1.-The minds of spectators seemed to be still befogged today over the vista of new developments m the Northern Securities contest ana the consequence was that for the most part they refrHined from operating. Stock market was almost entirely one ot speciaities and the peculiar grounds on whicn tnlS eiass securities ysuaIly moves was not materially manifest. The mar Eet moved upwards to be helped by Union Facihc which seemed to he helped by the granting of temporary injunction by New.

Owing to the firmGess of Union Pacific and the recovery of United states Steel preferred. the sympathetic influences were in favor of higher prices In tho otherwise sem-stagnant market. Tho influence in United States Steel pre- ferred which received the most recogni- ton was the agreement amongst ore p-c- ducers to reduce prices and to seek further to come to an agreement of the
 
 of the steel stocks yesterday in the fear that the ore agreement would be dis rupted and an open market established there was some covering by shorts today although the decision to reduce the price Of ore Is understood to be opposed to the contention of the United States Steel cor poration. The coaiers were the subject of demonstration which carried them to higher level, the high pressed mem bers of the group hotedly so. Any mark cd demand for these closely held securi- ties with the comparatively small flo ting supply makes striking effect on prices Today's demand was said to be due to the very active demand for anthracite which has followed the spring reduction in prices. There was some talk of crop damage from the cold wave, but the rise in temperature today was accepted as q promise of better things.

 Futures opened steady and unchanged to points up. Lower openings at Liverpool and New York caused an easing off in the local market, which was followed by an improvement that carried prices well above yesterdays close Later in the day prices eased off again in response to some az gressiveness on the part of bears who found a weapon in the reports of a lower dry goods market. This was followed by an inn provementf which was undoubtedly caused by covering on the part of shorts who were frightened at the cold weather in the south eastern portion of the belt ans the promise of frost in the western portion Offerinrs there being an entire absence of short sell CTS and but little profh taking on the part of the longs.

 NEW YORK, April 21.-The advance to II 20 to-day seemed to have very little. if any, effect on sentiment and after the rise prices worked off easily to IA 0s Then there was recovery to II 14 during the early afternoon and later on there was sup port enough to hold the price Trading was not active and for some reason there was no additional buying power by reason of the recoSery yesterday. At one time 1t looked very much as though the buying of yester- day would turn the market and higher prices might be expected But Liverpool did not show any enthusiasm this morning and those who bought threw the cotton over board when 1t failed to hold. There was no change fn the cotton situation and while receipts were nothing there was not the demand necessary to hold prices and bring out enough buying to start up the market Liverpool does not show tho demand that one would expect with their small stock h some respects the buying is along lines that leads one to think consumption must b, greatly reduced Weather Is rather better and as the market has advanced some on weather views we may see another set back But the market is not to be sold from our standpoint and we would keep out rather than he short.

c. E: PIERCE aco.'s COTTON LETTER,

Aby FFlNate wire rom GiDert & Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS, April e1g--Cotton was a quiet article to-day. The range of fluctu l- lions was narrow and revealed no positive tendencies in either direction. Liverpool supplied some encuprag cement in the shape of steady market and cables conveyed the information that some mills were resuming full time q result of improved bushes { prospects in Manchester Spot transactions in the English market have increased slightly of late and this feature commands special attention on account of it's signifi- canoe. Initial trading here was accomplish ed under the force of a good demand that sent prices several points above yesterdays g record but realizing sales and some opposl- ton by shorts induced by the report that print cloths had been marked down l-l6 cent per yard at Fall River sufficed to cause a moderate setback, though the ton held steady under the influence of lighter receipts and complaints about necessity tori replanting.
 On the surface the position of cotton seems decidedly favorable. but the market apparently requires a complete disposal of so-called 'hedged" cotton before the situa- tton can be regarded as being thoroughly sound. Judging from past Observations however, spinners are willing to buy around the level of IA cents and if this agreement on price should he elevated through the medium of vanishing port and interior stocks. the effect would be very beneficial Thus prices continue to be governed by the spot demand
