New YoRK, Jan. 2G.-R, G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review:
Secretary Carlislo's decision to issue
bonds, and the early reports OF large
bids for them helped to accelerate re-
covcry Of industries and trade as was
hoped last week. Sale OF the amount
offered will check anxiety about main
tenance OF note redemption, remove tho
only pretext for further issues Of paper,
and thus give q solid basis for greater
confidence regarding the financial future
Tho revenue is still small, from customs
in January thus far $40, 500, sol against
ST., 9S5,6S5 last year, and from internal
taxes So, 4S7, 975 against Sll ,06S, 49S, and
the volume OF domestic trade is still
small. The increase in tho number OF
hands employed adds to tho purchasing
power OF the people, and dealers stocks
arc SO reduced that anysign OF larger con-
sumption quickly gives mills moro or
ders. In short, conditions are such that
if not interrupted by adverse forces,
they would naturally bring steady re.
vival OF business.
Industrial gain is more definite than
week ago. Few establishments have
stopped work. while many have re-
sumed or increased production, and
though those are not works employing
thousands each, the aggregate increase
is considerable. Reductions in wages
continue, and about quarter OF them
are OF 20 per cont, the rest ranging from
to II per cent.
In no direction arc quotations OF
manufactured products higher, but
while some have actually declined, tho
general tore is somewhat stronger.

PRovINCETowN, Nov. 19.-An officer
of the United States ship Concord, writ
ing from Chemulpo, Corea, October 9TH,
to friend here, says: 'sThe Japanese
are splendid soldiers, we'll drilled, and
fight like tigers, showing no quarter to
the Cinnamon. In the battle of Sep
tember 18th, 1000 Chinese were killed
and only 300 men were lost by the jap
anese. For quick work and skill in en-
I ever saw. Everything with them goes
like clockwork. They laid pontoons
across the river and marched over a
body of troops, consisting of 700 men,
with heavy guns and artillery, and had
everything completed in little over two
hours. They are landing troops here
every day and marching them on toward
Peking, and should not be surprised if
before this letter reaches you they have
taken that ci.y. September 9th they
captured place and 100000 with it,
and the reports are that they killed
every Chinaman in the place. Oh, they
are fighters from Fayetteville, and if no
foreign nations interfere, or China does
come down on her knees soon and sur
render on such terms as the Japanese
see fit to make, they will wipe the
Chinese off the face of the earth. No
matter if they have got millions and
millions of men in China, they are no
fighters, and the Japs are. The Japan
ese are also progressive nation. They
have all the latest improvements in war
fare, and know how to use them with
effect; while John Chinaman is no fur
ther advanced than he was in A. D. L.
Just think of fighting with bows and
arrows by any nation at the close of the
18th century.

Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the

until $3.50, when a light of-shore wind
sprung up, and the bark's anchor was
slipped. They stood directly off shore
for about miles, and the wind again
failed them. Again the vessel drifted
toward the breakers, and their dull,
roaring sound was plainly audible, when
second breeze sprung up and the
Swanmore was headed toward the open
sea.
By this time the fog had lifted and the
crew of the Swanmore could easily dis
tinguish the rugged and perpendicular
cliff of Cape Falcon. At 8 O'Clock they
were nearly 8 miles off shore, when they
were again becalmed, and commenced
drifting shoreward. Nearer and nearer
the treacherous land swell carried them,
until the bark passed over the first line
of breakers, directly off the worst part
of the rugged headland. She was drift
ing slowly ashore, and the boats were
already filed with the effects of the
crew, ready the moment the vessel
struck to clear oway and attempt to get
to shore through the surf. Assistance
was at hand, however, for the little
steam coaster Harrison loomed up to
the south. They had evidently noticed
the Swanmore's signals of distress, for
they were bearing down on her under
full head of steam. They were inside
the second line of tumbling breakers and
dangerously near the third when the
Harrison managed to get hold of the
steel haWser from the vessel. By this
time the roar ofthe breakers was deafen-
ing and the swell was running shore
wards with terrible force, and when the
line was pulled taut and the little
steamer started with her heavy tow, her
bits were nearly torn from her deck. 1t
was long and hard struggle at first,
but the Harrison finally got the bark
free from the breakers, and towing her
fully 10 miles off shore, dropped her.
This morning she was opposite the
mouth of the river and was picked up
by tug and brought inside. Captain
Schrader, of the Harrison, claims that
no bargain was made; in fact, there was
no time for striking bargains. On the
other hand, Captain Greenbaum, Of the
Swanmore, claims that a bargain was
made for the sum OF 5000.
