A story was circulated in the Colony this morning that the Russian battle- ship Petropavlovsk had been sunk, and that Admiral Makaroff was killed in the engagement. Our Yokohama correspondent, however, says that the news which was wired out to Japan by Reuter is received with incredulity, and inquiries at the Japanese Consulate this afternoon were without avail, Mr. Noma kindly informing us that no news of the engagement had been received by bim.

A DAY ON THE LIVERPOOL. MARKET. The finger of the clock is slowly drawing, nearer to the fateful hour-ten o'clock when the market opens. A subdued murmur begins to run round the ring. Then an official, chalk in hand, takes up his position before the great quotation board ready to record the first transaction of the day. Upon his head he wears what appears to be the skeleton of a helmet which presses two receivers (like telephone receivers) against the man's ears. He now places in position a breastplate with transmitter. By means of a wire passing overhead he is able to communicate with another official, who is now seen mounting upon a stool in the middle of the ring, and whose duty it will be to receive the quotations as they are made, and to transmit them to his colleague at the board.

It being generally conceded that the Russian anny would obtain sooner or later a vindication of its prowess on land, that very fact must not only have localized the conflict, but have limited its duration. This was the earnest hope of all Powers.

"The stroke at Port Arthur and, in general, the superiority of the Japanese on the water, have destroyed this hope. The net result has been to intensify their enthusiasm, and it may now be deemed certain that a land war alarms them no more than a naval war.

THE BAIKAL RING RAILWAY. PROGRESS OF ITS CONSTRUCTION.

It appears that the railway round the south- er end of Lake Baikal will not be finished so soon as the authorities announced recently would be the case-that is, during the late spring or coming summer. The Noveë Vremya is informed that the work cannot be completed before next autumn. The total length of the line will be 135 miles, and 34 tunnels have to be blasted in the salid rock that skirts the lake. The length of the tunnels will be six miles. The line has been thrown open to traffic for a distance of 72 miles, and thereby there is a great reduction in the distance to be covered by animal traction. The work of tunnelling is being carried out by gangs of

closed last night at 7 5-rood. So the advance on "present months" is seven points, or 8-100 of one penny. And a few minutes later all Lancashire knows that cotton is still rising. Spectators in the gallery look on agape, and find themselves wondering how a single trans- action is intelligible to the parties making it And yet the explanation is simple. A nod, almosi a look, suffices to close a deal involving thousands of pounds worth of cotton. Only a stern integrity and a watchful committee could make business possible.

"Sell 'Feb,' alone fourteen." The market is growing stronger every minute, "Fourteen sellers" goes over the tape, and the spinner who has already provided for his future smiles "Fourteen sellers" does not, at the precise moment of its being offered, mean that the value of the cotton is fourteen paints, but as the sellers are loosening their hold upon their "thineen offer, fourteen will soon represent the value.

Add to this that the central government has never assimilated the modern doctrine that governments exist for the good of the pee- pie, and to develop and distribute the resources of the country; and that the Korean army was a custly luxury of the court, but wholly inefficacious against foreign foes, and we have a fairly true estimate of the internal condition of the hermit king.
