CHINESE: ARMY,

Troops Ready to Protect

SUN Is PURSUED
Cantonese Hurl Opposition
In Headlong Flight to
The Rear.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 18 P.-The Cam
tonese horde decisively defeated the
army of Marshal Sun Chang-Fang to-
day, poured into the city of Hangchow
and hurled Suns disordered forces in
headlong flight toward Shanghai The
beaten troops before fleeing looted the
rich city of 100000 inhabitants. They
burned large part of the city and
departed. The missionaries were un-
harmed and most of them left the
city.
Suns demoralizedi TROOPS are ex-
pected to make stand at Sungkiang,
% miles south of Shanghai, to prevent
the invaders capturing the richest city
of the far east as prize of war.
British troops were paraded in
Shanghai when the news was received
that the Cantonese were pursuing Suns
broken army toward the city With
21 foreign warships in the river before
the city and some 1000 white fighting
men on duty, foreign residents in the
International settlements felt some
assurance that the Cantonese would
not overrun their concessions as did
the coolie mobs at Hankow and Kiu-
kiang when the southerners took pos
session of those cities.
The Cantonese were said to have
$4,000 men in Chekiang for their march
toward Shanghai To oppose them Sun,
military ruler of Kiangsu province,
was said to have 10000 soldiers to de-
fend Shanghai, his chief city. His
forces were ranged along the railroad
between Kashing and Sungkiang, but
it was reported that large numbers of
his troops had been captured in Hang
chow, when rolling stock was not,
available to move them on the railway.
From Hangchow, the Cantonese may
follow two inland water routes toward
Shanghai, as well as the railway. AL
ready they are on the move.
Sweeping around the city of Hang
chow, they drove the Sun troops from
Ningpo, near the coast, and leaving a
portion of their number in that city,
continued their pursuit of the army.
Hangchow fell after a week of fight
ing along Tsientang river, south of it.
The reinforced Cantonese troops were
said to have met only half-hearted re-
sistance from Suns army, whose NOR
ale had been weakened by propaganda.
Although outnumbering the Cantonese,
they were no match for them.
General Chang Tsung-Chang, gov
ernor of Shangtung, may come to the
aid of his ally Sun, with troops. His
agent told the Associated Press corre-
spondent that Shantung troops would
be sent but as yet none have appeared
n response to the repeated appeals of
Sun, who was said to have paid $600,000
monthly to provide for that contin-
gency.

RISE IS RESUMED
IN COTTON MARKET
Continued Heavier Buying
Has BuIIiSh Effect in Short
Trading Session.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 5.-Con-
tinued buying sent prices still higher
in the cotton market today. May con-
tracts selling up to 14.0S and October
to 1850, or Ii o-1S points above yes
terday's closing quotations. Last
prices were within a point or two of
the best on active months, the mar
ket closing firm at net advances of
IL to 16 points.
The advance was again attributed
chiefly to covering of shorts and COM
mission house buying, stimulated by
the bulliSh view of proposed farm
relief legislation, reports of continued
steadiness in the Southern spot mar
kets and reiterated reports OF active
demand for cotton goods in Man
chester.
: The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of to 5 points. Some South.
ern selling and a good deal of realiz-
Ing were absorbed, and the market
showed increasing strength during
the forenoon on covering or rebuyfng
by recent sellers. Trade buying also
was reported on the advance. which eX-
tended TO 1885 for margin and 14.2S
for July, establishing May and later

Conflicting opinions continued as to
the probable effect of the McNary-
Haugen bill should 1t be passed by
Congress, but as suggested by the
action Of prices most traders ap-
peared to feel that such legislation
would have bullish effect on the i'm
mediate market, whatever it's re-
actions in the long run. In some
quarters the increased strength and
activity was attributed less. to pros
pect for legislation than to the con-
tinued steadiness Of the Southern
spot situation. and reports that ship.
pers short of the better grades were
finding 1t difficult to secure their re-
qutremeflts.
Private cables reported good trade
calling nd.covering in the Liverpool
market. and active business in cotton
piece goods for shipment to India
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at 16S 900 bales
