That the invasion of Hungaria by the Russians has been definitely abandoned, was in timated today, "It is realized y the General $taff that the German resistance at-that; point is strong and they de cided not to risk their sartny . " The miV ister of War said today that ( the Rus4 sian army is going to capture Berlin, that is the taks assigned them by the allies ' and . the full force of the Czar's Hon of accomplished facts the diver gence of opinion Is as wide as ever. Berlin maintains that the invest ment of Verdun Is now complete and therefore expects that within two or three days there will be a resumption of the offensive along the whole German front, On the other hand the latest official communication issued in be half of the allies states that the Crown Prince has been driven back and has moved his headquarters fro n Sainte Menehould south of Rheims, to Mone Faucon, about 15 miles northeast. Rerlin admits that the weakened German right wing has been turned back dut discounts the reverse by main taining that it will have no effect on the general forward movement to be initiated when Verdun falls. ". The very candid statement of Gen eral Joffre regarding the sort of warfare his troops are capable of waging in dicates that the French- are now in a position to take up the gage of battle on their own tern's and in a country of thfilr own choosing. The "recapture of Rheims probably means more to the French army, so far as morale is concerned, than the rolling up of the German left wing beyong Verdun, soa that the battle meagre official bulletins given out by the authorities. They welcorre eager ly any report which seems half way en couraging. That anxiety is felt in higher cir cles, however, is manifested by the long audiences the ministers of the dul monarchy are holding constant ly at Schoenbrtinn with Emperor Fran cis Joseph. There have been a number of conferences since Friday with the minister of war and the Austrian and Hungarian premiers. The news papers maintain an ex traordinary reserve. Papers of Sun day, September 1, barely mentioned the battle that is reported to have been raging around Lemberg for the past six days. The only journal of fering any comment on the Lemberg situation was the Neue Frele Presse, whirh said; "We can say nothing more than that the high mora! quality of the Austrian and Hungarian troops must eventually prove victorious."

The nt.n,i(. llnilngton for the same date as yes terday was 12 5-8 cents, while yes terday there was no quotation at all. no cotton being marketed. The orice n the interior, however, ranged m.mrt eight cents. Middling cotton sold on the Fayettevllle market vesterdav for 5-6 cents' according to the Fawtt. vllle Observer. Middline cotton 5 Savannah was quoted at 7 3-4 cents yesterday. The big slump in price has been P. tlrelv due to the European war as ron ton was being sold fot!3 cents and more wnen It began. I here is a general feeling, however, that cotton is going to brim.' much better prices and the farners ami business men are going to hold all the cotton they can. In many cases merchants are taking rotten on a basis of eight, nine and ten cen ts aa settlement for debts, aheady made. There Is evident a general co-operation on the part of business men and farmers to avoid any undue depression and to this and everv nnssil.l.. ff- is being made to store the cotton until there is a market for it. The total number of bales in stock in Wilmington yesterday was 7,806 bales, as compared with 11,512 bales last year. The stock on September 1st this year was 7,763 bales, so that it can be easily seen that all the cotton received here this month has bee bought by local mills. There has been no cotton exported from Wilmington since the new cotton year began, but this is net unusual at the cotton ex porting season here does not begin un til later In the fall.
