At New York the cotton market
broke 80 to 35 points on the census
bureaus ginners' report indicating a

jAPS CAPTURE MOUNTAIN
After Desperate Fighting and Heavy
Losses Mikado's Men FINALLY
. Possess Rihiuna Fort.

Adyices from Japanese headquar-
ters at Port Arthur state that Rihlung
Fort was captured at three o'clock
Thursday morning with thousand
Japanese casualties.
Seven dynamite mines exploded at
ten o'clock Wednesday and male
breaches In the front wall, through
which q large body OF Japanese troops
charged under cover Of a tremendous
bombardment and captured the first
line of light guns. A bitter fight re-
suited in the capture Of. the fort.
The garrison, numbering five hun
dred, escaped.
Rihlung fort, situated on Rihluns
mountain, formed part OF the inner
circle of the chain of forts defend
ing Port Arthur. Rihlung is situa-
ted about two miles from the out
skirts Of the town Of Port Arthur from
which it bears due northeast. The
fort just captured is mile and a
half southeast of Keekwan fort. re-
Gently captured by the Japanese. The
possession of these two forts should
make a most important breach in the
Notifications of Port Arthur and cut
off communication between the Cold
en- Hill forts and the forts OF the
western section Of. the inner circle
of fortifcations. q
From Rihlung mountain, which is
nearly opposite 20S-Metre Hill' it
would appear that the Japanese hre
will be able to reach anything in the
harbor and town which the japanese
heavy guns on 2os-Metre Hill are un'
able to hit, thus making it apparently
impossible for the Russian second fa'
cifc squadron to make any use u
Port Arthur even should the Japan
ese content themselves with holding
the strong position they now occupy.

BANKERS PROFFER AID.
New York Financiers Join Hands With
tho South to Boost Cotton Prices.
An important Move.

A New York special says: Repre-.
sentatives Of local banking interests,
railroads in the south. and capitalists
concerned in the condition Of the cot.
ton market, at a meeting in this city,
have formulated a plan to avert de-
moralization in the cotton market,
prevent further burning OF the crop
by southern growers, and to insure
a steady price for the staple in the fu-
ture.
As result of the conference, mes
sages were sent to southern fnan.
ciers interested in cotton. who were
asked for their cooperation. These
men included E. F. Webber, president
Of the Memphis cotton exchange; Col
onel Harvie Jordan, OF Georgia, pres
ident :of the Cotton Growers Associ-
alton, and w. P. Brown, Of New Or
leans
The proposed plan suggests that each
cotton growing section appoint Ger
tain trustees who will act in the il
terests of the cotton producers. and
that the growers deliver, or agree 20
deliver, 10 per cent Of their holdings
to these trustees on the conditions
that this cotton shall be withdrawn
from the market and shall not be sold
for less than a stated price; that these
trustees issue certificates to the cot.
ton producers, expressing these con
ditions and the stipulation that cotton
to the amount of, say 100000 bales,
be received before the plan becomes
effective.
This 10 per cent, it is argued, could
be marketed at any time at the price
agreed upon, and the trustees could
distribute the proceeds arising from
the sale to the holders Of the certif-
Gates.
Bankers and monied interests, it is
also suggested, could organize fund,
to be used in the purchase of cotton
to- be withdrawn from the market and
held under similar conditions.

North Makes Statement.

A Washington special says: Direct.
tor North, of the census bureau ad.
mitted having received a telegram
from the Memphis cotton exchange,
stating that many ginners in that dis
trict denied having made reports as
to the amount OF cotton ginned from
November IA to December 13. He has
replied as follows:
Where information was refused In
Shelby county,. the November returns
were brought forward for December
without estimates. Comparatively
few instances were noted throughout
the belt where correct information
was not available"
In discussing the matter, Director
North said that for some unexplained
reason number Of ginners refused
to furnish information regarding the
amount of cotton ginned during the
period stated, and that following the
custom of the bureau under such cir
cumstarces, the returns for the Pre-
ceding period were brought forward
without estimates.
Director North explained that as
Memphis is In Shelby county, Tennes-
see, his reply to the Memphis cotton
exchange referred especially to it.
Consider Livingston Resolution.
The house committee on agriculture
has been giving some attention dur
ing the holidays to the resolution In
troduced by Representative Living
ingston, Of Georgia requesting that
all the facts concerning the. manner
in which the department Of agricul-
ture makes up its cotton estimates be
sent. to- congress.
While nothing definite has been de-
cided on. it may be stated that the
committee will be ready to report
next Wednesday, If Mr.. Livingston
exercises his prerogative and AXIS for
a report.
There is intense interest in the mat
ter here, as result Of the slump re-
sulting from the estimate given out
on December 3.
Congressman Burleson, OF Texas,
is preparing and will introduce, as
soon as possible after congress re-
convenes, bill amending the act Gre
ating the census bureau. in such way
rs to cause that bureau TO gather and
publish from time to time statistics
showing the amount Of cotton con.
sumed by mills at home and abroad,
the amount exported and the amount
held over, BY persons other than the
producers each year.

Sends Staple Tumbling Over
Fifty Points-Previous
Estimate is Far
Exceeded.

Farmers and merchants OF Clay
county, Ga, met Wednesday at Fort
Gaines and decided to burn their
share OF two million bales Of cotton.
A start was made without much ado,
when a bonfire was made Of the cot.
ton on the streets Of Fort Gaines. 1t
has not. yet been determined where
the sensational innovation will stop.
They have decided to set the pace and
are moving determinedly. A large
crowd paraded with wild whoops and
.yells and much spectacular ceremony.
The object of the move is to show that
the farmers are ready TO sacrifice a
few bales for the benefit of the
masses. The excitement increased
as the burning progressed.
