SUCCESS Of RUSSIAN
IS ADMITTED
by BERLIN AND VIENNA
Teutonic Armies Are Being
Hammered From Both
Northeast and Southeast of
Lemberg, GaIiCian Capital
(Bv Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Successful
resumption of the Russian offensive
in Galicia draws attention anew to the
eastern war theater in which the opera
tions have been of comparatively small
Importance since General Burssiloff's
drive for Lemberg was held up.
Berlin and Vienna concede that adj
vantages have been gained by the Rus
SLAMS. who are attacking from both
northeast and southeast of the Galician
capital and have gained ground south
OF Brzezany in the latter district and
along the Brody-ZIochoff road in the
former.
On the southeastern front in Macedo-
mia the British have maintained the ad-
vances scored in their attack Saturday
near the Struma, beating off Bulgarian
counter attacks and retaining the two
villages captured along the road to
Sores, according to London today.
The forward movement along the
Struma synchronizes with a Serbian sue
cess on the westerly Macedonian front.
SERBIANS MAKE GAIN.
!, The long continued struggle III the
/ Kaimakcalan district has resulted in the
Serbians not only securing possession
of the principal heights on the region
southeast of Monastir but in an advance
of more than a mile north of the main
peak where the village of Kotchovie has
been taken.
Recent operations by the French along
the Somme front appear to have been
mostly i'm the nature of minor attacks,
probably preparatory to some larger
movement in the Peronne region, while
the British main effort has been direct
ed to the thrust toward Bapaume along
the road from Pozieres, where an ad-
vance on a front of more than mile
and a half was announced by London
last night.
Paris today reports French success
i'm a local operation east of Bouchavnes,
north Of Peronne, where trench and some
prisoners were eaptured.
The Zeppelin Destroyed during the air
raid on England last night was brought
down in flames, the British official an
nouncement states. OF the nine other
airships taking part, eight are declared
to have wandered aimlessly over the
eastern counties, the remaining one try
ing TO reach London but being prevent
ed by the British defensive forces. Most
Of the bombs dropped, it is said, appear
ed to have done little damage. No cas-
ualties have been reported.

COTTON JUMPS TO 1908
ON U. S. REPORT OF CROP
Advance in New York Market
One of Most Sensational
in History

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-One of the most
sensational advances in the history of
the cotton market attended the publ
cation of the two government reports
here today Since the beginning of
this season there have been many pc
riods of activity and excitement, but
none of them have approached today's
movement either with reference to the
extent of fluctuations OF IL volume Of
trading.
The demand was stimulated Dy the
condition figures of SIS. or the lowest
on record. indicating a crop of only
11.637.OOO bales. Within a few min
utes after these figures were issued
January contracts sold at 1908 or $3.50
bale above the closing price Of last
week.

bales ginned prior to September 20. es-

trade had been looking for even larger

Supplementary to the report Mr.. Price
issues a statement which follows IN
part:
II respectfully call your attention to
the report of the state chemist. which is
submitted herewith, and which shows
that there were sent to this department
for analysis during the year S,1i5 sam
pies of fertilizer Of this number Asa
ANALYSES were made. which included
1895 special analyses" that is to say
the latter number were samples taken
by inspectors direct from the goods In
the hands of the farmer, sent to tins
department for special analysis and
the original report was sent to the con-
sumner and a duplicate sent to the man
ufaoturer. The farmers had right to
ask for these special analysis, if he
so desired. The records show that dur
ing the present year these analyses were
made at much less cost than in any pre-
viOus year.
TT has been my eudeavor during the
past three years to impress upon the
farmers the necessity of diversihcatlon
Of crops and the injection of better bust
ness methods into their farming opera
tfons, all the more important on ac-
count Of the approach of the boil weevi',
many of the counties in the state being
now infested with them and there Is
little doubt but that during the next
year a greater portion Of the state will
be covered by them, and the injury in
cident thereto can hardly be overesti-
mated.
"In my visits to different sections OF
the state / am impressed that many
have needed the warnings given them,
from the fact that there is evidence that
more attention has been given TO the
raising of cattle, hogs and other stock,
and there is no doubt in my mind but
that there is more feed stuffs now on
hand in the state than in many years
past. if not in the history OF the state.
~ regret to say that on account Of
the continuance OF the European war the
fertilizer conditions are no better than
they were during the past season.
The crop conditions throughout the
state are not as good as could be de-
sired. still there are some sections OF
the state where the crops are not far
from normal! but the snort cotton crop
is greatly supplemented by the prices
icing obtained for same. From reports
gathered from almost every section of
he state. my estimate is that the cotton
.rop is much shorter than last year in
ieorgia, and from information received
~ this office from Texas and other cot
on states, it seems that we cannot
cunt on a bumper crop this year.
zone feature which I have injected
nto the department which has saved
the farmers of Georgia who plant
icguminous crops thousands of dollars
is the manufacture and distribution of
nitrogen fixing bacteria. which is being
furnished for all leguminous crops at
cost of 25c per acre. The time has come
when we will be compelled to plant
more leguminous crops, and the bacteria
furnished by this department at such a
nominal cost to the farmers is proving

Big Advance Is Scored
In New Orleans Market

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. Am advance
in cotton of 90 to 90 points, or $3.50
bale. over Saturdays close, resulted
in the early trading on this market
today, on an almost Unsuitable demand
stimulated by the bullish showing Of
the governments last condition figures
for the season and ginning returns,
which. while the heaviest on record, yet
were considerably under general expec-
tations Futures made new high levels
for the season and all months reached
the highest quotations ever recorded in
the contract market At this time or
year.
There was a rise of 90 points around
the opening after the ginning returns
of 4b62991 bales were announced, but
the big buying followed the condition
figures of 56.3 per cent of the normal
the lowest percentage ever given the
crop on September Us. After traders
had dieested this report and the fore
asst Of a total yield of 11,637.O00 bales,
the ring was swampe6 with buying or
Cers and prices shot upward rapidly. At
it.S6 for the March option, leading bull
interests commenced taking profits heav-
lily AMI the advance was checked. The
market ut noon was 20 points, or 81
bale, off from fine top.
Not since the Civil war has spot cot
ton brought as high q price in Atlanta
at this season of the year as it brought
here Monday. The market closed al
1915 cents which was an advance Of
so points since the closing of Saturday
when the price was 1875.
The big advance in the Atlanta market
was due to the sensational advance IN
the New York and New Orleans future
markets which resulted from the bullish
ginners' report and the extreme low
crop condition report, both of which
were issued Monday morning by the
government. The crop condition report
of SEA was the lowest on record for
this time OF the year.
