Battle on the YaIu Was One of the
BIOOdiest in History.
st. Petersburg, May 4-12:4O P. NJ
The gloom which prevailed here yes
Herday was almost completely dispelled
this morning, when the people read
the story of the glorious fight made by
General Zassalitch's handful of rough
regiments against the flower of the Mi
kado's legions at the Yalu and of the
utter defeat of Vice Admiral Togos
new attempt to seal the entrance to
Port Arthur.
It is now plain that not more than
5000 Russians were actually engaged
in the fight a the Yalu against the
Japanese army, Of a total strength Of
+ between 10000 and 10000. The losses on
both sides, which are expected to rea eh
1000 and possibly 1900 in the Russian
forces and twice that number for the
Japanese, make it one of the bloodiest
fights in history. At the river crossing
the japanese dead lie piled UP literally
In heaps and General Kurclzi's success
was purchased at such a heavy cost
that the Russians are disposed to re-
gard Ii as rather a defeat than a vic
tory for him. General kuropatkin's
dispatch shows that the Russians
fought with such bulldog tenacity and
bravery against the overwhelming SUI
periority of the enemy that the latter s
nominal victory was ecIipsed by the
proWess of the cars soldiers. General
Kuropatkin also served to restore Gen
eral Zassalitch to public favor. Those
who were disposed to criticize him,
even at the headquarters of the gen
eraI staff, where it is considered that
ne made a tactical blunder, now say
that he redeemed himself by his gal
lantry in action and the damage he
inflicted upon the enemy. About bull
letin boards the people are especially

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, March 23.-Wheat had a. sharn break and an almost complete rally. The pit crowd were in control during the morning, and prices were sold off easily On the decline a good demand developed Tor the old July and new September. The former, on improved cash demand and re- ported sales of red, and the latter on complaints of damage from the soft win ter wheat states. Advices are being re- ceived from Ohio, Illinois and Indiana complaining of the poor appearance of the crop. Fifteen loads were reported taken for export.
 Corn-The spring-like weather was the selling motive during the morning. May was without support, yielding with July There was some buying on the belief that the proposition to make three corn de- liberable on contracts would be donated today. The cash market was A to 1c low CT, and the demand continues slow. Re- ceipts small.
 Oats-Market was in a general way a the most aggressive sellers. Our Peoria house expects a material increase in the Illinois acreage. Receipts were 102.
 Provisions sold off during the morning along with grain but failed to rally with them at the close. There was a renewal of stop loss selling. The course of the market was reported disappointing. Hogs were 5c higher at the yards, and re- ceipts were 24,000, or 40O0 under the es- innate.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, March 23.-The cotton market today made an effort to shake off the spell of gloom which has pervaded the rings since the collapse of New Yorks chief bull operator and succeeded to the extent of creating a large meas ure of resistance to the immediate pres sure. and dispelling much of the nervous ness which has been so conspicuous in the tone recently. Liverpools course sig nifed a willingness to wait and watch developments. while the diminished spot sales at additional concessions indicated that English spinners had satisfied press ing needs for the present. Fluctuations were occasioned here by alternating or ders to buy or sell for various accounts, but the fact that some spot buyers were tempted to negotiate for fair sized lists of the staple, stimulated the speculative and contributed steadness to the under tone. Whether this spot inquiry will prove lasting is the chief question be- fore traders now. Any demand of a substantial character from spinners is sure to exert a beneficial effect whereas if 1t develops that the spot business of to- day was in the nature of a paroXysm, the fact will be reflected promptly in a hesitating tendency beyond this feature, traders will have the census ginners' final report to reckon with Friday the 29th inst, and present opinion as to the influence that bulletine are of little im- portance. though it may be remembered that the market supplied a severe drop on the publication of the last census re- port, notwithstanding such a course was apparently unwarranted. The adage. "In time Of peace prepare for war" accord ingly applies with unusual force to the coming census statement

New York Cotton Futures.
The New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans March 23.-There was a good demand for spot cotton. Buyers, 1t Is said, were well supplied with foreign and domestic mill orders Sales 4S000 bales. including 1850 to arrive, and 250 f. 0. b. terms Quotations advanced one-quarter.
 Futures opened steady and from 1 point lower to z points higher. The weakness in New York, together with hammering by bears, caused a decline after an ini- tial advance of few points. It was gen. erally believed that New York was a heavy seller at times in the local market during the morning hours. Prices were well under control by shorts for a time, when it was reported that a strong de- mand for spots had developed. This im- mediately caused an advance until prices were a quarter of a cent higher than yes terday's close and about 35 points higher than the lowest levels of the morning Some liquidation on the part of longs, to- gether with renewed selling by shorts caused another recession which was fol- lowed by another recovery. The nervous feeling in the market was shown in the freduent fluctuations. Much of the ner- vousness was said to be due to the forth coming census bureau report. The most freouent estimate was 10, 800, GOO bales, in cluding linters. It was claimed by longs that such crop would justify present prices. In the trading May first advanc- ed five points above yesterdays closing at 13.5s. declined to 13.45, advanced to 1S77, declined to 1854, when an upward move ment set in hich carried 1t to 14.13. 9th CT active options showed similar fuctu- ations the market closing firm at about the highest level of the day. Net gains were March to August. inclusive, 56 to 65 points and the new crop months 32 to 3S points The final advance was caused by an urgent demand from spinners not only for spot but also for futures.

 New York, March 23.-The dealings In the stock market today were on an ex- tensive scale and during the early part of the session speculation was governed by further demoralization of the short interest. Bull leaders attacked the bears in new quarters bringing about advances of point or more in St. Paul, Pennsyl- vania, Erie, Rock Island, Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago and Alton and others. Speculation paid little attention to the news of the day, which was not an in fuential character.
 / London was a heavy buyer. but com missoin house business was only moder- ately increased. The pressure of profit taking was felt in late dealings and prices declined to last nights closing, and in some instances to a shade below them.
 The leaders of yesterdays excitement closed with a net loss of 2% per cent. The market closed active but heavy and near the lowest. Ttotal sales, 1889, 400 shares.
