Clark & Company’s Cotton Letter New York, Oct. 1.—Prices were easier at the start on cables and selling by Liverpool, hedge selling and clear weather in the Atlantic to gether with shorts, local selling for a turn, but the contracts were taken by the trade and shorts and - prices rallied. New buying of a profes sional character came in during the afternoon, some of it apparently for long account making the best prices for the day and 45 up from the low.

In an epic battle raging more than a week in the towering Caucasus ranges in the province of Svanethie, 125 miles northeast of Batum, the red armies are trying to crush Col. Teholkavilis’ insurgent force of 20, 000 by using thousands of women and children as shields at the head and sides of their attacking columns. The number of women and gfrls who have perished from the prod ding of bolshevik bayonets or by falling by the wayside exhausted, or from stray bullets from the revo lutionists runs into many hundreds. The heart rending retreat of Col Tcholksehvliis’ forces into the al most inaccessible dales of Mount Elbrouz to escape firing upon their own flesh and blood, and the pursuit of the red army, which could plain ly be seen in dragging and pushing and bayonetting the owmen along, is described in telegrams received through an underground service of the Georgian Independence commit tee, and in Batum and Tiflis the communist newspapers are smuggled out of Georgia on the risk of instant execution. The last telegram is . . . , two days ago and the last newspaper four days ago. The fate of between 2,000 and 3, 000 surviving women martyrs is unknown.
