0yama Has Met KuropaikIn With
Heavy Forces.
CUT OFF THE RUSSIAN DETACHMENT.
Owing to Magnitude Of the Movement
Planned, Military Authorities Say
It is Too Early to Expect News Of
Decisive Results.

General KuroaptRin's advance has
been met with a counter-advance of
the forces under Field Marshal 0ya-
ma. According to advices received at
Toxic. general engagement is in
progress between Lao Yang and Muk-
den; but reports from Russian sourc-
es describe the fighting there as mere
ly in the nature of advance and guard
actions. General Kuropatkin is re-
ported to be aiming to strike stimuli.
taneously at two widely separated
points on the Japanese left. There
has been hard fighting short dis
lance north Of Bensihu, in which
Russian loss of $50 in killed and
wounded is admitted. The Japanese
say they have cut off a Russian column
south of the Taitse river No official
reports from the front were received
by the Russian war Office last night,
and the fact is regarded in some quar-
tiers as indicating the nonsuccess
thus far of General Kuropatkin's for
ward movement Military authorities,
however, point out that, owing to the
magnitude of the movement planned,
it is too early to expect news of de-
cisive results
Pekin, Oct. l4.-Russian dragons
have captured copy Of the message
from the emperor Of Japan to his
troops in which the Mikado says he
is still awaiting the decisive defeat
of the Russians. 1t is apparent from
this intelligence that the Japanese are
equally prepared for important events
There have been daily engagements
between the advance guards along the
entire line of thirty miles,
The Japanese appear to be appre.-
hensive of cutting off movement, ow-
ing 10 the fact that the Russian cav
j. airy are south of the Taitse river, and
also owing to the presence of Russian
forces yesterday in the old positions
and Notifications at Bensihu. They
have, therefore, fallen back
The strong position at the Yentai
coal mines which has been the cause
Of apprehension to the Russians, was
vacated by the japanese October S,
although they were putting up earth
works toward the west, where the SILL
periority of the Russian cavalry will
require superior defense.
1t is believed that the Japanese have
about 100 guns at the railway bridge
across the Tatse river, rendering
hazardous a Russian attack there,
The preliminary line Of battle, at.
.. ter the two armies have reinforced
and refortifed for month past, as
determined by the Japanese strong
! hold Of the railway bridge and the
liao Yang defenses, runs southeast to
northwest from the hills opposite
Bensihu to Yentai and thence to Tou
= sanpu, ten miles west Of the railway
where for three days the battle line
has been waverlng.

GREAT DEMAND FOR COTTON
TIES.
Evidence Of a Much Larger Crop than
Was Expected.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 23.-The de-
mand for cotton bagging and ties in
this market is now of record proper
tons. There We're very heavy pur-
81 rScs made during the spring and
summer for shipment during the latter
par II August and the first half Of
Sept nmber, but these have been used
up almost entirely, ana the same buy
crS are now in market for their second
supply. The manufacturers are
swamped with orders and the jobbers
here are unable to secure anything like
a sufficient amount for immediate
shipment. One house alone repre-
sents that during the past week it sold
$4,000 worth Of bagging and ties.
which is more than it has ever sold in
any whole month before at this sea
son of the year. Other houses say
they have done an exceptionally heavy
business in both. Stocks here are
down to very small proportions and
there is no prospect of any Immediate
increase III the offerings for the rea-
sons already stated.
The cotton crop is turning out very
much larger than expected not only
in this immediate section but in Texas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory. southern
Missouri, southern Kentucky and
northeastern Alabama. This has ne
cessitated the buying of bagging and
ties on much larger scale than the
trade had counted upon earlier in the
year, and this explains the present ac-
tivity and the low condition of stocks.
The open weather during the past few
weeks mas greatly increased the pros
poets. General estimates a month ago
We're around 100000 bales. but they
are now in most instances as hiIh as
II, 100000 bales, with some believers in
a crop of at least 1000. 900. In the
Memphis district proper there is a
great deal more cotton than there was
last year. a fact which is admitted now
by both growers and factors.
