China and the War.

Brussels, Sept. 2.-The H'Etoilt
Beige" publishes what is alleged to be
the political will of the late LII Hung
Chang, addressed by him to Lung-lu,
one of the most influential counsellors
of the Empress Dowager Of China. 1t
appears from this document that Ii
Hung Chang foresaw the present war
between Russia and Japan, and advised
the Chinese government to join the
MikadO's army in the event Of the
Japanese being victorious, instead of
remaining neutral and a simple specta.
tor. II is consequently considered likely
that the empress dowager intends to
follow Ii Hung Changes advice, and
that the Chinese army placed on the
M%anchurian frontier, nuder General
Mas command, win shortly take an ac-
tive part in events in the Far East.

STOCK MARKET
 FIRM BUT DULL  Lack ot Interest Caused Stag
 nation at Times PRICES WERE HELD STRONG Number of Minor Stocks and Special ties Gave Sympathetic Strength to the Market-ls Explained
 By New Events.
PRICES WERE HELD STRONG

New York, June 22.-The most note worthy fact about today's stock market was It's frmness in face of excessive dull ness. The dulness caused stagnation at critical periods But prices were tena- ciously held in todays market, even with a demand so scanty as to be imperceptible for most of the day A number of minor stocks and speclalties gave sympathetic strength to the market by their strength, which was unexplained in the news events The Canadian Pacific group was a prominent example and was in demand both here and in London. The common surmise was that this movement was based on the crop prospects in the Cana dian Pacific's western territory. Our own Granger stocks did not extend the up- ward movement of yesterday to any i'm portant degree. There was large accu- mutation of Consolidated Gas and of the rights to subscribe to its projected bond Issue. rise in refined sugar was held to account for the f1rmness of the refin- cries stocks. An assortment of usually inactive and low priced railroad stocks made their advances without an explana- ton. The several movements were not simultaneous and their sequence extended their influence through the session. The Metropolitan traction group made some recovery from yesterdays depression, the publication of the poor earnings state ment apparently ending the selling move ment. The most effective sympathetic Influence in the market was the continued firmness of United States Steel preferred. The quietude of Southern Pacific was also felt later in the day. The declines in Northwesterns gross earnings for May was a disagreeable contrast. The quick subscription for the Burlington bond is- sue, and the sale of the Rock Island notes, has made a good impression, all though the Rock Island issue recognized IS Gn. expedient against the present poor market for bonds. The hardening of dis counts in London and the fall in sterling n Paris, point to some demand for money Tor the fiscal year ending. But the inter tst here In the movement is principally confined to bankers who see in 1t modif- .ation of the threat of offering foreign ,unds here on any sign of advance in To- gal money rates. With interior funds still accumulating here, and with S1,200- DO more of Japanese gold authorized for transfer to New York on June 30 the abundance of money promises to be un- disturbed. The accumula tion of stocks In the last hour proved the most impor- tant of the day but the result on prices was moderate, and a slump of over f points in Chicago Great Western prefer red "A" unsettled the advance and made .he closing irregular.
 The tone of the bond market continued firm Total sales, par value, $2, 2S5,0O0.

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES HIGHER Opening Was Firm on Better Cables Than Expected PRICES SOLD OFF LITTLE New Orleans and the South Generally Was a Seller in N. Y. Market
 Early, But Turned to
 Buying.
PRICES SOLD OFF LITTLE

New York. June 22.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 7d13 points on better cables than expected. Follow ing the call prices sold off few points, but almost immediately rallied on con- tinued covering and later scored sharp advance as the upward trend of values uncovered heavy stop loss orders on the short side New Orleans and the south generally was a seller in the local market early, but later joined in the buying move ment which became more or less general although at higher prices. It looked as though certain southern and Wall street houses were putting out fresh short lines and thus restricting to some extent tho advancing tendency. As the session progressed there was more or less realiz- ing by local longs, and this, in connection with the other interests, caused some ir- regularity. At the better level of the day, which was in the afternoon, July, which had sold at 10.44 during the early trading, was advanced to 1O.65, a net gain of 2S points. while August seemed to be in particularly good demand from cer- tain room traders and sold up to lO.62, a Hel duNdIlCt. Ol of HoliiiS. AJSttAihti gnu October at this time were about 2 points net higher at 9.72 and 91. respectively. Toward the close room realizing eased the market off about to points from the best, but the final tone was steady at an advance of 19@27 points.
 Sales were estimated at 350,000 bales.
 The advance was in the face of gener- ally favorable weather news, the day 8 report indicating further rains in the sections where lack of moisture has been complained of. Receipts of cotton at the ports today were 20l3 bales against 4lS last week, and 1885 last year.
 For the week 12000 against 147s6 last week and 15,4oo last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 1926 bales, against ISIS last year, and at Houston 3S against Il last year.
