opened with all their guns on the
Russian positions, the shells
dropping like hail in the field
and on the hills. The morning
of the 14th found the Russians
with their backs to the Shakhe
river, scross which transports
had been withdrawn during the
night. Fighting continued from
these positions all during the
day Of the 18th, while the Rus
sian reinforcements took up p3s-

flooding the streams and turning
the roads into seas, and by even

dropping within a short distance

DRESS TO COTTON GROWERS

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 15.-The
hardest fight to depress prices
by the bear" SPECTATORS will
be made during the balance of
this month and in November be-
fore the estimate on the yield of
the crop Is issued by the chief
statisticiau of the United States
department of agriculture on
December.3rd.
The only reason why cotton is
not now selling in the interior at
9 cents per pound, or lower, is
because %he producers are firmly
holding back the staple and re-
fusing TO sacrifice it at prices
below its true value This is
the strongest factor today D the
maintenance of present prices.
The bear" spectators are I'm.
able to hammer down the mar
ket because the tremendous vol
ume of receipts which they had
anticipated would be rushed up

Of the year are not materializing.
Fer the first time in the history
of cotton production in the south,
Texas farmers are standing firm
with their brethren east of the
Mississippi river. The action OF
the Southern Cotton Growers
convention held at St. Louis, Mo-,
September Doth, unanimously
urging every cotton producer to
refuse to part with his staple at
any price under 10 cents per
pound, is bearing good fruit
Thus we have by mutual CO.

firmness to maintain it through

Great Jdp-RuSSian
/, BattIes<Near Yentai
As Described by an American Press Cores:
pondent With the Main Russian
Army IN Manchuria.

The reading public does not
get out of the many pages of war
news a great amount of details
of the great battles. We give
below an account of the fighting
that explains how tens of thous-
ands of brave soldiers are being
slaughtered in the great eastern
conflict:
Mukden, Oct. 15.-Via Pekin
with the Russian arm of the
Center.-After six days of the
hardest kind of fighting this Sec
ton of the Russian army fell
back last night on the Shakhe
river and is now holding a posi-
rtion on the north side of that
stream. The fighting, which
commenced shortly after noon
October 9, has been in progress
continuously ever since. On
October 9 the Russians advanced
to the southeast, crossing the
Shake river, thence to Haman-
tung, twenty miles southeast of
Mukden and ten niles north of
Yentai. On the hills around
Hamantung the Japanese had
planted four batteries. Upon the
advance of the Russians these
batteries retired to the south
ward across a narrow valley
which runs east and west and
joined the main Japanese force
on the hills beyond. In the fight

did little damage beyond discon-
certing the men aud the horses.
Additional guns were sent for
ward to protect the left, while
the batteries withdrew across
the plains to the hills on the
north side. This gave the Japa-
nese possession of high hill on
the south side from which
they shelled the valley through
which the Russians had advance
ed during the evening. The
morningSof the 18th found little
change in the positions of the
two armies except the Japanese
had worked further around to
to the left.
Probably the greatest artillery
fight of the battle took place Oct.
18th. Batteries were placed on
every availab1e' hill, and at the
same time regiment after
regiment of infantry was
poured into the plain by
both sides, only to be thrown
back shattered and torn. 1t is
impossible as yet to estimate the
loss of life. During the night a
heavy rain storm occurred, in the
midst of which the artillery con-
tinued to boom, and at one point
the Japanese infantry charged.
They were met by Russian in
fantrymen in the darkness,
which was lighted only by flash
es of guns, the bursting of shells
and the streaks of lighting.
HAND TO HAND FIGHTING.
The men Fought hand-to-hand,
the Japanese regiment being
finally driven back. The thun-
der and rain continued all the
morning of the 18th, notwith-
standing the guns opened fire
promptly at daylight. The Rus

consultation with the producers.
These contracts must be filled,
and if the cotton cannot be had
at prices as cheap as these spec
ulators want it, then prices must
advance to a point where the pro-
ducers willing to sell it. Let the
minimum price at all interior

let every man determine not C.

staple under that price.

The fight for depression ID

be afraid to hold his cotton. Sell
no cotton under 10 cents per
