st. petersburg, June aS.--Elvldence ac-
cumulates that Roosevelt's efforts in
behalf OF peace have been supported by
practically every European power by
transmission through their representa-
tives at the belligerants respective cap
itals that It is the solemn conviction of
their respective governments that the
time has come for the warning coun--4
tries to conclude peace. The presi-
dents endeavors seem limited to bring
ing the plenipotentiaries of Russia and
Japan together to arrange prelimin-
ary terms for conclusion of a limited
armistice and selection Of a place for
future negotiations, and the plenipo-
tentiaries in the opinion of diplomats.

until the plenipot tentiaries meet. The
ambassador of one Of the great Euro
peam powers expressed the opinion to
the Associated Press that the exchang-
es would not occur either at Washing
ton or at any European capital, but up
on the battlefield Of Manchuria.
The government Is plainly preparing
the public for the announcement that
the emperor has decided to conclude,
. peace and that negotiations have be-
gun by permitting the publication OF
all foreign dispatches bearing upon the
subject. In well informed circles 1t Is
believed Japan has already instructed
Oyama to stay his hand. pending the
result OF the present tentative nego-
tiations and that Linevitch also has
been confidentially advised of the sit
uation.
Nevertheless, the irreconciliable rem
nants of the war party are believd to
be urging the Russian commander
chief to assume the offensive in the
hope of achieving a victory and thus
change the emperor's present DISPOSE
tion in favor OF conclusion of hostili-
ties. II such an intrigue is in progress
1t has no chance of success. It can be
assumed there will be no further blood
shed in Manchuria until the belliger-
ants have decided whether it is posi-
bile to agree on peace terms. The gov
eminent is preparing to time the proc
1amation Of the national assembly with
the announcement that peace negotia-
tions have begun.

The Bureau of the Census has just issued the final report on the cotton crop grown in 1904. This report is No 19 in the series of Census bulle- tins. The statistics for 1901 are ac. companied by comparative ctatistlcs for the crops of 1900, 1901 1902 and 1903. Six preliminary reports were is sued during the ginning season of 1904-5. showing the quantity of cot ton ginned to specified dates. The final report aggregates the quantities in- cluded in each of the preliminary statements, and completes the sixth consecutive crop year for which cot ton reports have been published by the Census Bureau.
 The crop of 1904, as returned by the ginners, and including linters, is 13,- 5S4,457 bales, of 500 pounds. It ex- ceeds the crop of 1903 by 3,491,3S6 bales. or 35.4 per cent. The largest crop produced in the United States prior to 1904 was that of 1898, which, according to commercial returns, amounted to 11,235.000 bales. or To g per cent less than the crop of 19oi. The average crop for the five-year pe- riod ending with 1903 was 9.SS2,o47 bales, or 25.9 per cent less than the crop of 1904.
 Among the cotton producing States Texas has held the first rank for twen- ty years. It's production in 1904 was 3,134,677 bales. Georgia, with pro- duction of 1,960,151 bales, was second. having passed Mississippi, which held the second rank in 1903 Mississippi is third and Alabama fourth. With the exception of Kansas. Arkansas and Texas, all the cotton producing States show larger crops for 1904 than for nfh m, xvh fnb thacA rennrtS have been issued. The States which show the most notable increases com- pared with 1903 are Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, the largest in- crease being found in Georgia, where the crop exceeded that of 1903 by 612,- 3SO bales, or 48.3 per cent. The in- crease in Alabama is 46.5 per cent, in South Carolina 45.7 per cent. and in Texas 27 per cent. The largest crop ever grown in Texas was that of 1900. when the State produced 29S,S7o bales more than in 1904. The increase in the combined production of Oklahoma and Indian Territory over 1903 is 72 per cent.
 The number of local cotton weighers who reported to the Bureau of the Census was 1,372. Much care has been taken by the Bureau of the Census to secure accurate average bale weights, and the returns have been compared with the computations made by MT. Henry c, Hester, Secretary of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, who com puted the average weight of commer- cial bales, marketed between August 31, 1904, and March 1. 1905. ct 519.S7 pounds, while the average weight of the bale exported was 516.96. The adoption of the averages compiled by MT. Hester would of course result in some variation in the total number of bales produced.

THE QUANTITY OF COTTON
 GINNED IN THE UNITED STATES
tcRoPs OF 1900 TO 1904,

The sea-island cotton crop of 1904 amounted to 104,317 bales, equal to 4l,- 1S0,434 gross pounds, an increase over the crop of 1903 of AS Ser cent. This increase is distributed between three States which produce this cotton- Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The average crop of sea-island cotton for the five-year period ending with 1903 was 34,12o.844 pounds. The crop of 1904 is 2u.7 per cent greater than the five-year average, and is the larg- est crop ever grown in the United States, the next largest being the crop of 1902, when the production reached 40,413.053 pounds.
 The total number of establishments which ginned some part of the crop of 1904 was 30,337, or 92.3 per cent of the total number of ginneries reported. Three States reported over 4,000 active ginneEies--Georgia. Mississippi and Texas. The total number of the active ginneries in the States mentioned was 13,4SO, or 44.4 per cent of the total, and they ginned 50.S per cent of the total cotton production in the United States for 1904. The census figures show that the average number of bales ginned by active establishments was 445, compared with 33S in 1903 and 35S in 1902. The cotton ginning industry is much more developed west of the Mississippi river than east of 1t. Tex as. with 14.6 per cent of the number of cotton ginneries, ginned 23.5 per cent of the total product, while Georgia, with 1894 per cent of tho total active ginneries. ginned but Al per cent. The crop of 1904 was ginned in $50 counties in sixteen States. Of these counties 739 were canvassed by 667 To- cal agents of the Census Bureau, and go .5 per cent of the total crop of 1904 was ginned in the territory thus can vassed Ninety-one counties were can vassed by mail, and in these were lo- eated 184 active ginneries. which gin- ned but one-half of 1Cper cent of the crop. The average date of the comple- tion of the final canvass was March 10. 1909.
 The six preliminary reports Of the quantity of cotton ginned, issued by the Bureau of the Census during the past season. cover the quantity of cot- ton ginned to September l, October IS, November IA. and December B, 1904, and January 16, 1905. The final report now issued in Bulletin 19 presents the total quantity Sinned during the sea- soE.
 A feature of much interest discussed in this bulletin is the growth Of the cotton-seed industry. indicated in the supplemental report of the Inter pro- duct of the cotton n-seed oil mills. The number of these mills has increased from 357 in 1900 to 715 in 1904. ap increase of 100 per cent.
 The bulletin just issued comprises forty-two pages of text and tables, ip addition to which are presented out line maps of each of the principal cot ton producing States, upon which the crop of 1904 is shown by counties

THE COTTON MARKET

New York, April 2S.--An advance of over 30 points in two days attests the magnitude of the short interest in the cotton market and the responsive con influence in the direction of higher prices.
 In my opinion, an enormous short interest. both ,5, speculative |, ana q, cs6 con ingly doubtful whether any cover for 1t Is available except at much higher prices. I am, convinced from what learned at the convention of the New citation at Boston, on Wednesday, thak great majority of the New England mills are under. contract for their cut put until we'll o1t in the spring of 1906. The same thing Is admittedly true of the mills in Lancashire and in the Southern States.
 am further convinced that they have either bought or contracted for the whole of this years American crop, even if it exceeds 14,000,000 bales, and as the consumption of American cotton will next year doubtless be at the rate of 100000 bales month, or 2,000, 900 bales per annum, 1t ;s plain that spinners' commitments are far in excess of any supply now available and have been entered into on basis which makes cotton at present prices highly profitable purchase. I there fore again advise all those who for any reason may require cotton within the next twelve months to contract for all. or at least portion of 1t, as soon as 1t Is obtainable around present quota yions.
 A reduced acreage, a late planting season and much necessary replanting render the crop more than ever liable 70 disaster. An unusually hard winter has left an enormous accumulation of ice and snow at the headwaters of the Mississippi. and some of the worst bear panics ever known have been en- gendered by June floods.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.


 Chicago April 2s.-Higher prices at Llv- erpool had strengthening effect on the wheat market here today. Bullish senti- ment was augmented through reports of damage by rust to fall sown wheat In Texas The market closed firm with July up ss e hc. May is up %c Corn shows changed. Provisions are down 2h qeOc
 Notwithstanding a continuation of excel lent weather conditions throughout the United States, degree of confidence on the buying side of the wheat market that had not been felt for some time past was in evidence. A part of the bullish senti- ment was attributed to the seeming indif- ference of holders of May wheat, the volume of trading in that option being very light throughout the session. Another factor was strength at Minneapolis resulting from a good cash demand. Higher prices at Liverpool formed cincher in decisively es- tablishing the dominance of buIlish senti- ment. On the other hand weather condi- tions were decidedly unfavorable to a bull campaign. Reports by St. Louis trade paper furnished encouragement to bears. the claim being made that the yield of winter wheat this year will be unusually large. The market firm from the start. Initial quotations May were up &@Ic at Ss% qs9c July was a shade low CT to hc higher at S2Bc to S3 3bc. little profit taking in May soon carried the price cry soon followed After touching SEA Q R2Nc.

NEM ORLEANs COTTON.

New Orleans April 28.-Spot cotton in good demand but desirable grades are very scarce and factors do not seem to be anx- ious to put out fresh lines. Influenced by the improvement in New York and an ad- vance of 10 English points in Liverpool. the local market advanced hc, with sales of 8 400 bales, including 1850 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of is9I4 points in response to the upward turn ir.IIverpool, the advance there being attributed to heavy buying on American account Prominent local operators stopped notices for 35.OOO bales in New York, and the opinion seems to be gaining adherents that a strong bull movement is on.
