Ware 6 Leland's Market Letter.

Following the irregular London market
prices on the local exchange were irregu-
lar at the opening and throughout the
morning traders hammered the market.
Ii was evident. however that no long
stock was coming out and shortly after
noon traders commenced to cover their
shorts. Most of the news agencies had
a bull tip on Southern Pacific and this
stock was strong throughout the session.
About midday Northern Securities COM
menced to rise and scored a sharp adj
vance.
There was considerable short covering
i'm the Hartman Pacifics forced In part
by a renewal of bullish manipulation. 1T
is said that the Gates crowd have taken
a position on the long side OF the market.
and there was some evidence of activity
on the part of this faction today, how
ever 1t is said that this crowd will not
be allowed to take the dominant position
in the market which they have had at
times during the spring.

smoIlen G. Co.'s Market Letter.

The bull crowd worked hard to sustain
prices in the cotton market this morning.
The opening of the local market was at a
decline of to points. due to poor Liver
pool cables The market there not being
as high as 1t was expected this morning.
There was heavy selling by some of the
local operators on fair weather conditions
throughout the south
The best buyers ct the decline were
lower Wall street brokers'. Traders and
outside interests got in and out in a small
way but generally preferred to leave II
to the big operators who appeared to
dominate the situation. After the noon
hour there was sharp rally and July
went to TO the highest point yet reach
ed on this move The pc. receipts were
estimated at 1900 bales. The receipts
for tomorrow at the port. are expected
to be very heavy. As the price advances
we may expect heavier receipts. especial
1y from the interior towns. Spot cotton
is now quoted at SIS and will more than
likely sell at $50 before the close Of the
week On any further advance we would
favor taking the short side for a turn.

POLAND RIPE FOR. REVOLT.

Russia Cannot Withdraw Troops For
 Service In the Far East.
 WARSAW. March l1.-One of the of a conversation here said:
 Tt is all very well to talk of con tinuing the war. but with no leaders. no generals. no soldiers. no guns and the fheater of war so far away we are unable to transport troops quickly, and the war now appears to be ended. It is true we have soldiers in the em- pire. but it is impossible to withdraw them from central and southern Rus sia to Manchuria while the disturb ances continue. All is quiet in Poland now. but let orders for mobilization be given and we will have a revolution"

LONDON. March IA St. Peters burg dispatch tGis morning says:
 With the evacuation of Tie pass the Russian army has abandoned the last stronghold in southern Manchuria and definitely turned over that section to the Japanese for the campaign of 1905. At least no other strategy is possible for General Kuropatkin in view of his scanty supplies of ammunition and stores. the shattered condition of his army and the wide enveloping move ments which the Japanese have con- tinued almost without stop since the Russian defeat at Mukden.
 The evacuation of Tie pass involves the lose of the coal mines in that vicin- ity. which. with the Fushun and Yen tai mines gone. is a severe blow. The railway shops at Tie pass and more supplies were also sacrificed.
 General Europatkin and the rem nants of his army which was defeated by the Japanese on the Shakhe and Hun rivers and again around Mukden and Tie pass are now in the mountains a few miles north of the southern en trance to the pass trying to shake off their pursuers. who apparently are not going to repeat the mistake of Liao- yang and allow the Russian army to escape Kuropatkin has been re-en- forced by the garrisons of Tieling and other northern towns and a few new troops who were on their way from Russia when the battle of Mukden be- gan. But even with these there seems little hope for him True. he has some thirty or forty miles of hilly country. extending from Tie pass to Fenghua tsien. which might enable him to hold off the enemy for tine. but once out of fhe hills he has before him nearly 3r1 miles of fat. open country and in- numerable rivers and streams to cross This is what is termed the Great Val ley of the Sungsri. hut is. in fact. an immense plain
