TRADE REPORT.

Dun's Weekly report says: Mild
weather early in the week checked the
distribution of seasonable goods, but
had a permanent value in facilitating
the harvesting of cotton and late grain.
Subsequently the temperature fell, re-
storing retail trade in wearing apparel,
fuel and similar products to greater
activity than was experienced year
ago. Building operations are active,
strengthening the markets for lumber
and materials. Manufacturing plants
are making steady gains, particularly
in leading industries, and it is sig
nificant that reluctance to do business
has shifted from buyers to sellers,
eliminating largely the concessions in
prices that prevented stability. Labor
is unusually well employed, judging by
the official compilation of the unions.
Demand for domestic hides in west
ern markets continues sufficient to
absorb all offerings, fully maintaining
quotations and in some cases causing
advances. After a long period of dull
ness there has occurred a general ad
vance of a small fraction in foreign
dry hides.
Failures numbered 233 in the United
States.

JAPANESE WAR FUNDS.
Huge Sum of Money to Be Raised for
Comma Year.


Tokio.-Your correspondent has re-
ceived trustworthy information to the
effect that the Japanese financiers
have resolved on resolute measures
to provide the war funds for the COM
ing year. These measures are esti-
mated to produce 770,000,000 yen, part
from the new war tax and $4,000, 900
from loans. With regard to the loans,
several banks have already pledged
themselves to provide 900,000,O0 yen.
OF this, 100,000,00O yen will be taken
by the Bank of Japan, and by the pos.
tai savings bank, and the remaining
150,000,000 will be arranged for when
the necessity arises.
The chief items to be affected by the
new war taxes are the salt monopoly
and the silk fabrics, and increased
taxes will be also levied on land, in.
comes, business, etc. Further customs
duties will also be imposed. The war
taxes of the current year have been
evidently felt very little and the ad-
ditions of next year are not expected
to cause any economic inconvenience
The ordinary expenditures, not central
and local, will be boldly curtailed
There is every prospect that the diet
will indorse this program.

Louis Zimmerman OF Portland, Ore,
narrowly missed being killed by a
highwayman and robbed of $4,000 in
bullion, which he was taking from his
mine in the Blue river district to
Portland. Zimmerman was driving
alone. When he reached a lonely spot
on the mountain road he heard a rush
of feet just above him in the brush and
rifle ball whistled over his head. He
whipped his horse into a gallop and
made his escape. The attempted rob-
berry must have been committed by
some one familiar with the conduct of
the mine, who knew that Zimmerman
was carrying the gold to the smelter.

Proposal to Drop Dynamite on the
Russians.

The Republic says: DR.. August
Greth of San Francisco, inventor and
navigator of the airship California Ea-
gle, which has repeatedly made sue
cessful flights, has received a tenta-
tive proposal through representatives
of the Japanese government, and, il
arrangements are perfected as suggest

mite and other high explosives over
the ships of the Russian feet and over

of hostilities.
DR.. Greth, who is in st. Louis, says:

provides for firing 25 pound charges of

ARMIES READY FOR BATTLE
BIG BATTLE MAY TAKE PLACE
ANY DAY.
Number of Small Skirmishes Occur on
Shakhe River Trenches at One
Point Only 400 Yards Apart-Sev-
eral Positions Changed Hands Many
Times-An Amusing Incident.

Mukden, Nov. There have been
a number of skirmishes along the
whole front, and while no development
of any serious import has yet appeared,
the armies are in the closest touch
and a general engagement may be
precipitated at any time. At one point
the trenches are only 400 yards apart.
They are separated by a small stream,
which is the only water supply in the
neighborhood. BY mutual consent
there is no firing on the water car
riers who visit the stream with buck
cts.
Several positions have already
changed hands many times. 1t is re-
lated that in one village, which had
been taken and retaken by the same
men on both sides, Captain Polkanoff.
on being driven out one day, left
note in the hut where he had passed
the night, saying he would like to
know the name of the Japanese officer
who was in the habit of occupying the
hut in his absence. A little later Cap
tain Polkanoff retook the village, and,
going through his old quarters, found
the following note in perfect Russian:
81 am Captain Yamata. l will be
greatly pleased to make Captain Pol
kanoff's acquaintance"
Today was unusually quiet along
the whole front. The Russians are in
the habit of harrassing the trenches
at night. Last night Russian scouts
threw hand grenade into Japanese
trench near Sinchinpun, causing great
confusion. The Russian scouts also
discovered that the Japanese are NOV
ing many batteries to the front, though
as yet all have been carefully masked.

The Spanish foreign Office has given
out a statement to the effect that Rus
STA has asked SPANS permission for
the ships of Admiral Rojestvensk's

investigation of the North Sea incident
shall have been concluded. Spain, ac-
cording to the official statement, con-

several foreign powers, who gave their
approval. Authorization, however, ap-
plies to Russian vessels only now at
Vigo.
The British yacht Ventura is in this
port and appears to be watching the
movements of the Russian squadron.
The Russian admiral and subordi-
nate officials OF the Baltic squadron
receive ovations whenever they come
ashore.
Admiral Rojestvensky was inter
viewed during the day and said he
could say nothing at present concern

conclusion the admiral reasserted the
absolute truth of his version of the

Japs on Offensive.

The Japanese assumed the offensive
on October 81, at Yansintun, half way
between Bentsiaputze and Fengtiapu,
on the Mukden road. The whole day
was passed by the artillery in prepare
ton for a bombardment of the Russian
position. Toward evening whole reg
iment moved out to capture the hill,
on which is a Buddhist temple, a mile
south of Yansintun. The temple was
held by a Russian battalion with two
machine guns. A fierce fight with cold
steel strewed the summit of the hill
with corpses. The Russians were out
numbered, their machine guns were
dismantled and they were compelled
to fall back upon their main positions,
carrying with them the barrels of their
machine guns. The Russian artillery
then swept the hill with such a hail
of projectiles that the Japanese were
unable to remain there. Heavy losses
were inflicted on both sides.

LINEVITCH TAKES COMMAND.
Will Lead the Siberian Army Corps
LuIl in Fiqhtinq.

St. Petersburg.-Thea arrival of Lieu
tenant General Linevitch at Mukden
to assume command of the Siberian
corps is the most interesting item OF
Saturdays war news. The announce
ment of his appointment, which was
telegraphed by a correspondent of the
Associated Press, confirms the general
expectation that he will be summoned
by General Kuropatkin to resume an
important part in the conduct of the
command.
General Linevitvh is &C years of age,
but is as active as a young man, and
immensely popular among the Siberian
troops, whom he commanded during
the Boxer war. He acted as command
er in chief of the Russian forces prior
to General Kuropatkin's appointment
and arrival in Manchuria.

& Iron company's mine No. at Trim
idad, 40 miles west of this city, was
so badly wrecked by the recent ex-
plosion that the rescuers have not
yet succeeded in penetrating to the
point where the miners were working
Estimates Of the number of men in
the mine at the time vary from 20 to
60. They are mainly foreigners, and
not known to the Americans in the
vicinity. The mine company officials
have no record of the number working.
The mine is a sloping tunnel over
1000 feet long. Rescuers entered the
slope as far as room 10, which is 200
feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
They succeeded in reaching this point
only after most dangerous work and
after crawling through many narrow
places. At this point they encountered
a solid wall of rock that had fallen
from above and closed the passage.
Room &c, where most of the miners
are supposed to have been working, is
6UO feet from the mouth of the tun-
mel, or 400 feet beyond the point to
which the rescuers penetrated. Only
one body has been recovered, that of

Ground was broken for the tunnel
on March rs, 1900, after years of agi

present project grew. 1t had been de-
cided by a municipal ballot that the
city should own the system, but that
it should be constructed under private
contract on money loaned by the city
to be repaid by the contractor with
interest. 1t required six years to lay

c. II. Calender, manager Of the mill
at Knappton, came over yesterday and
will leave this monring for Portland
Mr.. Calender stated last evening that
his mill would probably be closed down
until the 1st of September. The shut
down, he says, is due to the demoral-
ICED condition of the lumber market,
and, as labor will be scarce until after
the fishing season, he does not antic-
'pate resumption of operations until
September, except in the event Of an
unusually improved market. He has
had more or less difficulty with new
men since the commencement Of the
fishing season. The old hands know
the condition Of the market and appre-
clate that they can not expect steady
employment at this time. They there
fore take up with fishing, as is usually
the case. Mr.. Calender thinks 1t would
be a good plan for all of the mills to
shut down for few months, as the
curtailed production of lumber would
place the market back in its normal
condition.
