A LIGHT MOVEMENT
FARMERS NOT BRINGING IN COT
TON AND RECEIPTS CHIEFLY
BY RAIL.
Rumors OF War Between Russia and
Japan lave Tendency to Send
prices Down.
SECRETARY RUSsELL's REPORT

The local movement III cotton this
week has been very light so far as the
bringing of it in by the farmers is
concerned. Most Of the cotton that
now reaches the city Genes from the
outlying towns and is sent by rail, The
total receipts of $500 bales as agssaA- t
goes to show the la1eness Of the crop
rather than an increase over last year, S
crop. Some cotton, however, has been
brought into the city by wagon, but
the streets are no longer crowded with
loads Of cotton.
The shipments this week of 3,479
bales as compared with 1867 bales
shipped last year, shows that selling
has been light in spot cotton which is
accounted for by the great bear move
ment of the past week. LEGAL brokers
are only shipping cotton to fill their
orders.
The markets have been watched with
great interest by all. The rumors of
war between Russia and Japan were
constantly coming in and had a
tendency to drop the bottom out of
prices. but steady and constent buy
ing On the part Of une bull leaders had
a tendency t. steady the market and
prices have been rising slowly. The
brokers all require heavy margins on
the stocks they handle.
On the decline there was heavy lqui-
dation and some heavy selling by the
bears, who appeared to be on the
watch for renewed efforts on the part
of the bull leaders to SELL But at the
decline, instead Of selling, the bull
leaders began to take all offers and
forced prices up. The official reports
yesterday and this morning of an out
look for peace between Russia and ia
pan also had tendency to steady the
market.

Disconcertina to Russians.

Mukden, Nov. 20, via Tientsin, Nov.
22-Since the Japanese attack on
Poutiloff hill, on the night of Nov. 49,,
no activity has been apparent. The
character OF the attack on POutilOf
hill is not fully understood, beyond
the fact that three Or four battali0ns
participated. It probably was made
Oh the initiative OF the local commend
er without the consent OF headQuar-
ters and as an attack it can only be
favorably regarded in the light of a
reconnaissance in force. This Incl
dent is the most important that has
happened since the battle of Shakhe.
PoutiloH hill, which is now the CEN
ter of interest Of the entire line, could
be seen flashing the signal of attack
from her FORTH, cations, as the Japa-
nese infantry advanced. On account
OF repeated reports that the Japanese
intended to attack Nov. 10 this assault
was believed to be the signal for an
advance of the entire line, and conse-
quently the entire Russian army on
the qui vive inaugurated it's own hos
tile movements, both east and west OF
Poutiloff hill. -.
The Japanese arrived within fifty
yards Of the Russian trenches. inc
Russian fire was too deadly for a
further advance. The next morning
disclosed about eighty Japanese dead,
which the Russians buried. The
Jananese succeeded in carrying off In
haste 200 wounded. The Russians
lost half a dozen men in the trenches.
Scouting operations on both sides
result in daily encounters sometimes
between battalions, but the encounters
are little more than skirmishes. The
scouting is for the evident purpose OF
identifying opponents positions and
local strength.
The Russians continue to daily
