in European Russia, affirming that they
reflect the general opinion and feeling Of
their archdiocese. have forwarded to
the holy synod a petition against the
use of the imperial portraits on the new
postage in commemoration of the three
hundredth anniversary of the accession

ers say that it is degradation of the
august dignity and sanctity of the reign
ing sovereign, and an offense to the sa-
cred memory of his illustrious predeces-
sors.
A fortnight ago a petition Of similar
purport was forwarded to the same min

stampers in the general post Office at St
Petersburg. They said in effect that they

soon showed net losses Of from three
to four points. General business was
quiet, but there was some scattering
pressure which seemed to be largely
inspired by the idea that as much cot
ton remained to come into sight as at
this time last year. The large amount
OF linters included in the census fig.

previous records, attracted consider
able attention. as suggesting smaller
proportion OF spinnable cotton in the
crop.
The market became very quiet later
in the morning and ruled fairly steady
with prices at midday = or 8 points under
the closing figures of yesterday. The fore
cast for continual unsettled weather In

selling movement, and helped to steady
the market up point or two from the
