NEW YORK, Jan. I4-Buyers of dry goods continue S to operate with caution. but are pay Ing full market prices on all orders placed.

 NEW ORLEANS. Jan t4-Cable adyices were conflicting today. In one instance pros peets were stated to have been brighter for a continuance of peace and Manchester possessed a better outlook for business. In another case q large house with extensive continental con nections expressed the belief that a perma- nent decline in the price of cotton was i'm pending, owing to the genral stagnant condi- tton of business. At any rate the Liverpool market showed no disposition to proceed on its own account. and 1t Is evident that foreigners are watching developments on this side with an eagle eye Receipts were moderate enough but traders here derived their inspiration from the spot departmnt where demand had faded to very small proportions and d considerable shading of prices was necessary to interest buyers. This fact resulted in lessening of customary enthusiasm and rather induced an increase of speculative offerings which nit tated against prices. War fears may result in nervous fluctuations. but 1t is plain that the stabil.sy of existing values at the moment depends on the revival of a substantial spot inquiry If purchases of actual cotton arc evaded, the situation will lose some of Its charm from a favorable standpoint as the carrying expense at this level of prices is no tri7e

WISCONSIN,.

Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. 10.-The result
of the election In Wisconsin shows that
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ii, Let and
carried the state by Il plurality esti-
mated at between $4,000 and 75,00n,
that Governor LaI'ollette mas been re-
elected by a plurality OF about $4,000,
and that the congressional complexion
remains unchanged from two years ago.
The legislature which is to elect a
United States senator to succeed John
+. Quarles, is largely republican. and
the question Of whether Wisconsin
shall have a primary election law has
been carried by a safe majority.
One of the surprises of the cleo
ton was the big increase in the vote
of the social democratic party. Four
years 6 That party polled Ass votes
in Milwaukee, county: two years ago
1904. and in this election 1920. The
social democrats elected four assembly,
men and one enato to the legislature.
In the legislature Chairman w. D.
Conner, of the LaFollette state central
committee, claims there will be eighty
members pledged to carry Z out the
measures advocated by Governor La
Toilette. OF this number siNty-three
Gre in the assembly and seventy-seven
senators, o ra majority of each house.
Chairman Golden, of the stalwart re-
publican faction, claims that the stall
warts and democrats combined will
control a majority OF each housa, and
he predicts that IL United States SEN
ator QEar1es is not reelected the Leg
islature will probably end itself in a
deadlock.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
election was the narrow margin by
which Congressman Joseph w. Bab-
sock pulled through. his plurality Of

After three days of continuous bonn
bardment of Port Arthur. Which causedI
extensive destruction to the S%hojusani
ana N%iyirusan forts in the west centerl
of the Russian line of defense. and
also to Keekwan fort. the right wing OF
the Japanese army assaulted Shcjdsan
yesterday afternoon. Having carried
the approaches to that height the as
sailants ~intrenched themselves under
the glacis of the forts. In the evening
the left wing delivered an assault on
Keekwan, fighting its way to the lower
parapet. There the Japanese held their
ground %stubbornly in the face OF Rus
sian counter attack 9
Having Eeen reinforced during the
night the Russians charged down upon
the Japanese and desperate hand to
han conflicts ensued. The Japanese
beat mack the enemy and destroyed!
two covered positions in the front fnoat.
A Japanese sublieutenant With thirty
volunteers Inen succeeded in making
his way to the rear of the fort. There
he engaged in a personal conflict with
q Russian officer and killed him. Hav-
ing discovered two more defenses In
the rear moat the sublieutenant with
drew his force with a loss of two men.
Later in the night IL advanced po-
sition OF the japanese was taken and
retaken twice. The besiegers succeeded
in holding the approaches and CON
structinE trenches connecting them
with the army's front parallel At
dawn numbers of dead We're visible OF

and old batteries in the left center of
the line of defenses was captured after
severe fighting during the night After
having successfully driven an entering
wedge into the center severe explosions
and extension fires ave occurred in

The republicans elected the entire
nine congressman without a shadow of
a doubt. and the rest of the state ticket,

strongly republican on joint ballot.
John A. Johnson, democrat. and Ray

The election of IA democratic COVER
nor is the second in the history of the
state. The campaign for the governor
ship was fought out on personal, rather
than on party. lines.
The contest for senator also entered
into the politics of the situation. There

Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov. 9.IThe re-
publicans have carried South Dakota
by the highest plurality in the history
of the state. Reports received in re-
publican state headquarters leave no
doubt that Roosevelt las carried South
Dakota by from 10000 to $4,000. and
that the republicans ave elected their
entire state, judicial and congressional
nominees by practically the same vote.
The legislature will be almost solidly
republican. The vote by which the re-
publicans carried the state today was
never before surpassed in South Da-
kota. the nearest approach to it being
in 1889. at the first election after the
admission of the state to the union.
when they carried the state by about
80. 1000. After that election the plurality
was cut down election after election
until III 1900 by the rise of populism.
Four years ago the republicans again
began to win by old time pluraities,
which at yesterdays election cache
have certainly elected sever of their
nominees for state circuit judge, with
the probabilities of having also elected
the remaining two.
