The Daily raphic Mona morning an.
nounces that the negotiations have ar.
rived at a stage leaving two points
upon which neither Russia nor apan is
inclined to yield, and as to which no
means Of compromise have yet been
found. Both these points concern Man.
chpria and their acceptance would not
in the slightest modify the legal status
quo or change the administrative Sit
uation in Manchuria, but apan insists
that they be embodied in treaty be-
tween apan and Russia, while Russia,
as matter of amour propre, refuses to
accept such dictation at the hands Of
Japan. Much, however, is still hoped
from the Cars influence The state
ment adds:
"Of course any attempt Of Russia to
increase very largely her naval forces
in the far East by moving her Black
Sea or Baltic fleets, would make war
question of only few hours"
This statement seems to be borne out
by the Associated Press dispatch from
Ickio yesterday that Japan had re-
,elVed Russia communication, saying
hat RasAia would extend the rights
al6 privileges already acquired by the
powers in Manchuria under the exist
ng treaties with China, except in the

Saturday night of last week as Mr.
John NJ. Wllleford, who lives in the
Mt. Holly section of York county, waf
passing through a new road in the
olackjacks about three miles south of
Rock Hill on the way homeward, met a
large, hurley negro man. Entertaining
no rear whatever of an assault. he
GUIDED his horse slightly to one side to
allow the negro to pass, but the fellow.
instead of attempting to pass, reached
Tor the bride of Mr.. Willeford's horse:
demanding at the same time that he
should surrender his money. Mr.. VIII
ieford answered that he had no money
and at the same time dealt the would-
be robbed three hard blows in the face
with a riding bride he was carrying.
This either stunned or blined the negro
and Mr.. Willeford, being unarmed and
seeing his opportunity, put whip to his
morse and escaped. The negro was un-
known.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
EXPECTED REPORT
SENT FUTURES DOWN.

New York, Dec. 19.-The cotton mar
ket reflected bearish expectations as
to the showing of the forthcoming
ginners' report. and ruled active as
result of bear pressure and liquidation
with the final prices at the lowest level
of the day and season. The opening
was steady at an advance of los points
in response to rather better cables than
looked for. The Liverpool market
should have been about unchanged to
3 points lower, but was net unchanged
at the hour of the local opening, while
spot cotton was in moderate demand
a an advance of 4 points. The steady
ing influence of this showing, however,
was offset by private cables claiming
that, in spite of small Southern offer
ings, the undertone was not favorable,
and the local market failed to hold the
initial gain. Leading professionals APP
peared to be hammering the market
all along the line, and shortly after
the opening prices began to sag off,
followed by New Orleans and the Liv-
erpool market. After a decline of
some 9 to 10 points, there was irreg-
ularity around midday with the small
receipts, estimated for leading points
tomorrow, large exports and private
reports of strong spot holders attract
ing some support. But the market
broke again in the afternoon and dur
ing the balance of the session was
generally weak. AS prices declined
some stop orders were caught and the
market was finally barely steady at
net loss of 1921 points, with January
quoted at la, or 6 points below the
previous low level. Sales were esti-
mated at 900 bales.

j. S. DACHE & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick e. Co.

New York, Dec. 19.-Such news as
was at hand at the hour of the local
opening seemed more favorable to
prices than otherwise. Liverpool was
better than due. being net unchanged,
whereas partial decline of points
was expected and spot cotton being 4
points higher on sales of 5000 bales
gave an air of legitimacy to the adj
vance which. however. was belied by
private cables reporting a poor un-
dertone in spite of small Southern Of
ferings, this fact later becoming pat
ent when Liverpool eased off in re-
Spouse to local losses. The market
here opened steady at an advance of
las points, but did not hold the gain.
Professionals seemed to be selling in
expectation of d bearish ginners re-
port later in the week, which they
concluded with weakness in futures,
would most probably lead to the liqui-
dalton of Southern spot holders and
bring about another step in the read
Justment which they claim is still need
ed to balance demand and supply I'M
der present conditions. There was some
demand, encouraged by continued re-
ports of steady spot holders, but in
spite of this and covering by smaller
shorts, not over confident as to the
ginners report, showing prices sagged
off to a net decline of about SOTO
points. March seemed pegged around
Tile for the time being, and after
reaching this figure two or three times
reacted couple of points. and the
demand for this position tended to
steady the list

GINNERS ORGANIZE.
They Want to Anticipate the Gov
eminent Reports.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. beginners from
all of the cotton growing states west
of the Mississippi river met in Dallas
to-day and organized the National
Cotton Ginners' Association of the
United States. with j. A. Kyler of
Wynnewood, 1. T., as president, and
j. H. Council, of Dallas, secretary and
treasurer.
The purpose of this organization is
TO gather accurate and reliable in
formation concerning the amount of
cotton produced and the condition of
the crop, and to furnish it to the mem
bers of it's association in advance of
the government report. While the or
eanization at present includes only
those ginners from the states west
of the Mississippi, organization of other
states, it is said, will follow, and they
will be incorporated in the national
association.
There are about 10000 cotton gin
ners in the United States, and 1t is
declared that by means of organization
the ginners would form a most re-
liable and accurate corps of cotton crop
reporters.

This report of the ginners will again
be issued piecemeal. and the first in
stalment is expected Thursday. 1t is
conceded that if it should bear out the
Department of Agriculture's estimate
of the crop, that there will be little
chance of an improvement in the mar
ket for some time to come, though, if,
on the other hand the figures should
tend to show a smaller crop than the
departments estimate the trend of
prices would be to a materially higher
basis meantime there has been no
weakening of holders so far as can be
learned, and offerings of the staple are
by no means free. though there seems
enough to meet current demands.

DutAN OOttoH better from NEW hOrAs
New York Dec. 19.-Slowly but sure
ly, the weight of cotton is telling on
weak interior holders. Spinners seem
to be practically out of the market.
and confidence in a bullish ginners' re-
port has been steadily on the wane.
The lowest calculation is for at least
100000 bales ginned to Dec. 10, and
such an amount could only point to d
crop of 100000 or over. There are.
however, many who believe that the
amount ginned to Dec. 10 will be H.
100000. OF course, that would leave
absolutely no room for doubt as to
the minimum out-turn. while the maxi
mum would promptly be pictured by
interested parties at extravagantiy
high figures. Liverpool at the opening
was steady enough so far as prices
went, but sales, only 5000 bales OF
