RUSSIA IS MAKING PROGRESS In Many Ways the Country and Finan-
 cial Conditions Are Better

From the New York Sun.
 In recent St. Petersburg dispatch it is said that Russia Is more prosperous than for many years, and also that in creasng numbers of her people are turn ing to trade and industry.
 It is certain that Russia is making pro- gress. Observers have noted an encour- aging change in the temper of the people There is a note of optimism and courage that is distinctly new. Steps are being taken to introduce ageneral system of education, which, of course, Is opposed by the church. The army is being reor- ganzed on the basis of merit rather than favoritism. Peace prevails everywhere. Russia's finances are in a better condi- tion. Great efforts are being made to attract foreign capital to the country.

Calendar Combination.

From the Boston TranScrlpt.
 Those persons who are cautiously inter- ested in the sequence of the same num- Ter in dates were writing letters yester- day in profusion and beginning them thus: "1-1-11," or "1-1-1911." In the first case they got sequence of four ones, and in the. last they had five ones out of six figures. On the 11th of Janu- ary they can go one better, and on the 11th of November next their hearts will be filled with joy because they can write 11--11-'11, 11--11-1911. These persons have not been so happy since August, 2s years ago, when they were able to write S-S 1898

New York, January 2S.-The cotton market continued very quiet today.

The buying orders were gradually supplied, however, and later the market eased off from the best under. scattering liquidation or local bear pressure.
