Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward.
Wick q Co.

wick ~ 20.
New York. Oct s1.-After a narrow
and irregular market this morning,
with prices showing comparatively lit
tie tendency and ranging within about
points of Saturdays final figures,
the cotton market weakened after the
ginners' report and sold down to-
loss of about 10 points. Cables were
little disappointing at the hour OF
the local opening, afterward steady
ing. The weather was good aside from
frosts In territories already visited. The
receipts reflected the end Of the Octo-
Der shipments were enormous. The
market opened better than due at an
advance of ] point to a decline of 2
points and after selling a little above
Saturdays price broke slightly on the
more aggressive selling of some OF
the room traders. The census report
is really about as expected. II shows
an Increase in the amount of cotton
ginned 10 date of about 70lk per cent
as compared with last year. The
final reports will contain still great
er proportion Of Southwestern coun-
ties and IL seems quite probable that
the final report will show fully the
figures we mentioned last week, or
6.5o00OO to 6,750,000 bales. and may, in
fact, slightly exceed these figures This
means, of course, that the gins of the
South can gin this amount OF cotton
in the time elapsed, starting at the
time they did this year. II does not
mean anything in respect to the
amount OF cotton left 10 be ginned on
which the size of the crop depends.
We think the final report is about dis
counted, save as 1t may affect the
Southern holders. At any rate. we
are not prepared 10 abandon a builish
position on the market so far as ulti-
mate results are concerned.

HEROIC ACTION SAVES THE PASS
Gallant Charge of Left Column Wins
for Japan.

Liaoyang, Oct. 17.-General Oku
commanding the Japanese left, is driv.
ing the Russian reserves back upon
Changtau, after having frustrated their
attempt to flank him. He captured
two more guns east Of the Tumin pass
and trained them upon the enemy
Heavy cannonading is heard without
interruption from the direction of the
pass, and it is believed here that Gen,
eral Oku is following up his success by
pursuit. Field Marshall Oyama has
ordered seven regiments of infantry
and three columns of cavalry to pro
coed to the Tumin pass in order to
enable General Oku to cover the ter.
ritory east and west during the pur-
suit.
1t develops now that but for the he.
roic action Of the extreme left column
of General Oku's force, all the advan.
tages SO far gained might have been
lost. The column was reduced to less
than one fifth of it's original size, but
prevented the Russians from complet'
ing their fanking movement and turn
ed threatening defeat into victory.
