THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, April 17.-Cotton
fell off IL to 10 points in the first
half hour of business here today on
selling, encouraged by poor cables,
reports of better weather conditions
in the eastern belt and signs of rain
in the west. The tone was held steady
by an easier ocean freight market,
which aroused hopes of an increased
export movement.
The market was depressed
throughout the morning. Many
traders entertained expectations of
favorable weekly review of weather
conditions tomorrow. In the trading
up to noon prices at their lowest
stood at a net decline of IT to 10
points.
A somewhat steadier feeling pre-
vailed in the afternoon, and at 1870
the trading months stood at net
loss of 8 to IA points.

RIGA ABANDONED
 TO THE GERMANS
Great Baltic Port and Arsenal Had Been Attacked From Three Sides and SlavS Nithdrew--No Men
 ace to Petrograd

Petrograd, Sept. 3,-The Russians have abandoned Riga, the war office officially announced today
 The statement asserts that the order has been given for the aban- .donment of the Riga region on ac- count of the threatening situation there.
 The Germans have been pounding lat the gates of Riga since Saturday, attacking from three sides, on the west in the Lake Babit region; on the southwest near Mitau and on the southeast along the eastern bank of the Dvina river, hardly more than fifteen miles from the city.
 The evacuation of the great port and arsenal on the Baltic gives the enemy a great strategic position, of much value in controlling the en- trance to the Gulf of Finland, at the head of which stands pelrograd, but 1t is not believed that it necessarily places the Russian capital in jeopar- dy for petrograd lies overland 300 miles, as the crow flies, from Riga, and 360 miles by rail.
