st. Petersburg, Aug. 17.--At 1856 p. m.
the announcement of the mikado's offer
to allow nome mbatants to leave Port
Arthur. coupled with the demand for the
surrender of the garrison, causes a re-
vulsion OF feeling here. The original re-
pcrt that non-combatants would be per-
mitted to depart before the storming
operations began was regarded as a hui
name and considerate act. The war Of
flee is without official Information of the
summons served upon General Stoessel

tary circles that he will yield so | ng as
food and ammunition hold out without a
fight even to protect defenseless women
and other non-combatants from The ..or-
rors of bombardment
General Stoessel, as an independent
commander, would have a perfect right
under the Russian military regulation
to surrender at discretion" said a MEM
ber of the general staff to the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press, but ii
may safely be assumed that man of
Stoesseis temper will not create a new
precedent in Russian history. Our mill
tary annals do not show single case

PRICES FORCED UP
BY WEATHER REPORTS

New York, Nov. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steadily at an advance of
2QS points in response to slightly
higher Liverpool cables than expect
ed, reports of less favorable weather
from the Southwestern and smaller
interior receipts. There was very lit
tie demand, however, and while the
market following the call showed a
generally steady to firm undertone,
further gains were secured very slow
~ until shortly after midday when
reports that it was showing in the
Southwest with temperatures failing
was made the basis for wave of bull
support by some of the professional
contingent here and New Orleans.
This buying caught both markets
short apparently and for time there
was a furry Of covering due to which
the market ruled nervous and active.
January sold up to 10.o1c and March
to 10.12c, but at this level offerings in
creased and in the later trading the
market eased on about or points
from the best.
The close was steady at a net gain
of SOS points. Sales were estimated
at 10000 bales.
The into-sight figures for the week
rejecting the smaller interior move
ment as well as falling off in the
port receipts helped the advance in
prices during the afternoon.

New York. Nov. n.-There is no
question that cotton market this
week has been a very disappointing
one. This does not mean that prices
have declined instead of advancing.
for the level is slightly higher than a
week ago. But there was a general ex-
pectation that speculation would re-
suit from the election and the general
improvement in business that was
more than likely to follow. on this
view shorts covered during the latter
part of last week. and not few
bought cotton in anticipation of
rise. on Wednesday the market open

nent was short lived and the holders
We're compelled to realize on declin-
ing market. After prices had lost
about Is or Is points the tones steadied
again and the market passed into the
same state of dizziness existing before
the recent advance. That general
speculation has not been induced as
a reason of the large and profitable
business reported from Manchester
and the steady improvement that is
now taking place in this country has
been a source of disappointment as
well as comment The only possible
explanation is that the stock market
furnishes a more attractive field for
the time being, and the cotton market
will be compelled to await revival
of interest which may come at any
time Many believe the crop is alto
gether too large to make bull specu-
lation profitable, but if the cotton

falling away behind last years, While

ly reduced as compared with early es-
Inmates, the situation seemed decided
ly more favorable to bullish operations.
The market had a disappointing open
ing, however, with the lack of general
demand still in evidence, First prices
were only 2@3 points higher, when an
advance of about points was due on
the cables. Later the gains We're in
creased in a sluggish sort of way UNI
til the list stood about points over
yesterdays finals. There was very lit
tie cotton for sale apparently and the
undertone of the market was firm. The
bears seem disinclined to sell freely.
Perhaps the leaders find that when
they withdraw their offerings there is
no one else to sell the market off,
and finding that spots are holding firm
q little above parity with the future
market, consider 1t wiser to permit
the situation to develop one way or
the other than to increase commit

lation has been the chief obstacle to
an advance and the stability of spots
the check to a decline.
