RUSS REBELS ACTIVE.
SEIZE WIRES OUT OF PETRoGRAD
mo DISORDER REPORTED.
Maximilists Take Control Where Pre-
lininary Parliament Meets-ke-
rensky on Guard.

Petrogra6. Nov, San armed naval
detachment, under orders of the
MaXimalist revolutionary committee,
has occupied the offices of the official
Petrograd Telegraph agency.
The MaXimalists also occupied the
Central Telegraph office and the state
bank at the Marie Palace, where the
preliminary parliament had suspended
its proceedings in view of the situa-
ton.
NO disorders are yet reported, with
the exception of some outrages by
apaches. The general life of the city
remains normal and street traffic has
not been interrupted.
Leon TrotZky, president of the CEN
trail executive committee of the Petro-
grad council of workmens and sol
diers' delegates, has informed mem
bers of the town duma that he has
given strict orders against outlawry
and has threatened with death any
persons attempting to carry out POI
grOmS.
TrOtzky added that it was not the
intention of the workmen's and sol
diers' delegates to seize power but
to represent TO a congress of work
mems and soldiers delegates, to be
called shortly, that that body could
take over control of the capital, for
which all necessary arrangements had
been perfected.
In the early hours of the morning a
delegation of COssacks appeared at
the winter palace and told Premier
kerensky that they were disposed to
carry out the governments orders
concerning the guarding of the cap
ital, but they insisted that if hostilities
commenced it would be necessary for
their forces to be supplemented by in
fantry units.
The COssacks virtually made a de-
mand that the government proclaim
the Bolshevikis outlaws. The premier
replied:
Il find it difficult to declare the
Bolshevikis outlaws; the attitude of
the government toward the present
Bolsheviki activities is known"
The premier explained that those
who had been released were on bail
and that any of them found partici-
pating in new offenses against peace
would be severely dealt with.
Numerous precautions have been
taken by Premier Kerensky to thwart
the threatened outbreak of the Boil
shevikis.
The military viii take the necessary
measures in case of revolt.
The preliminary parliament voted to
"work in contact with the govern
ment'' in response to Premier Keren-
sky's appeal for vote of confidence.
The resolution, which originated
with the left, was carried by n vote of
| 1913 to 102, with rs members abstain
! ing from voting.

he has so confidently relied upon, have

The letter was given out by Mr. East

Is legitimate to regard things which

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, September 29. - Cncer-
tainty as to the effect of the tropical
storm on crop prospects caused nervous
fluctuations in the cotton market today.
There was evidently a tendency to even
up long commitments in advance of the
week end and the government reports
due on Tuesday, but otherwise selling
was restricted by apprehensions that
storm damage reports would be feature
on Monday morning, and after selling at
$3.50 early, December advanced TO 23.79.
Realizing checked the advance al this
level and reactions followed. with De-
cember closing at 1858. and with the
general list closing barely steady at a
net decline of to II points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of / point to a decline of Is points,
being lower. October sold OFF to 24.l0
and January to 23.i1 on or Immediately
following the call. Liverpool and New
Orleans bought on the early decline and
prices rallied during the middle of the
morning october selling up to 24.35 and
January to 1855, or about to II points
net higher on the more active positions:
demand then tapered OFF and the market
eased off. The late selling was encour-
aged by reports that supplies were ac-
cumulating in Texas and talk of an
easier spot basis Liverpool cabled that
the new contract to be used beginning
on Monday was called an emergency
contract and had the approval of the
British government. Port receipts today
were 33,37s bales and 920.165 for the
season: exports today, 39.34i; for the
season. 766,111: stock, 547,565.

was the strength of October which
closed at net advance of % points as
against a net decline of other active
months of to - points. October was
the strongest month the boards
Throughout the session and it's firmness
was due to accounts of strong spot de-
mand in the interior at higher prices
and reports Of damage as the result of
the passing of the hurricane in and
over Alabama
The opening was higher and around
the first call prices rose to IL points
Buying was based on reports concerning
the hurricane. but the market was held
down by heavy offerings, a part of
which. at least. appeared to be hedge
offerings Prices fell to a net decline of
I to IL points, but later recovered on
the spot and crop news, standing late in
the session to "a points above the
level of yesterdays close A burst of
selling marked the last few minutes
and prices slumped.

caused much comment, but there was
little organized buying for long account

Street in Sober Mood.

A ruling rate of per cent for call
loans. an almost utter lack of time
money, the agreement between the war
industries board and the steel manu-
facturers and the unlimited bond issue
soon to be offered by the government all
gave Wall street material for much
sober reflection during the week. These
and sundry incidents of less Importance
bore pertinently upon security values,
which tended gradually downward.
Rails and other shares hitherto classed
among the more stable issues expert
enced greater depreciation than those
OF less intrinsic value, but the entire
list reacted later on the recurrent
waves of liquidation, augmented by
persistent si.ort selling.
Observers are agreed that at no other
