trarily converted into a Russian coast
ing trade port. AS the natural and
fore-seen result of the humiliation of
Foreign competition, several Russian
shipping services were Immediately in
augmated between Russian home ports,
and the for East. The cmfwypetaoinuu
principally Black sea port, and the far
East The Russian Steam Navigation
and Trading company, among others,
built a fleet Of special vessels, and the
Northern shipping company came into
being solely as the result of this law.
AS for the Russian volunteer fleet, the
leading subsidized shipping concern I'M
der the aegis of the Russian govern
ment, it is i'm still worse plight. The
Ekaterinoslaff, of over 10000 tons, has
been captured by the japanese the
Kazan is shut up in Port Arthur, and
no fewer than twelve more volunteer
fleet cruisers and transports some of
them ships of 1900 tons and twenty
knots speed are lying in Russian home
ports, with scores OF officers and hun
dreds of men waiting for orders" The
Russian tea import trade with China is
especially suffering very seriously in
consequence of the enforced idleness
of the volunteer fleet. A high author
ity informed me recently that, in spite
of the competition Of the railway and of
other Russian shipping lines TO the far
East, the volunteer fleet steamers were
still able to secure the chif share of
the ChinO-Russian tea trade, their
quota of which amounted in 1902 and
1908 to close on 2OO,OOOOOO pounds. When
the amount of tea carried back to Rus
sia By the ships of the new lines re-
ferred to IS also taken into account, an
idea may be gained of the extent of the
loss sustained, Russias shipping trade
with the far East was her only foreign
shipping trade Of any magnitude, and
It's present paralysis constitutes not the
least serious blow dealt TO Russian
trade by the present war.

the Japanese nor the Russians have
paid anything like the attention to the
shooting from the big vessels that the
four nations mentioned have done. In
fact Japan is in a much lower class in
this respect. Yet with her men not sc
competent as those of the four nations
admitted to be in the lead, Japan has
succeeded in demonstrating that the
gun work from vessels is after all the
most effective part of naval warfare.
When the Port Arthur fleet came out
and did engage in an actual fight with
Togo, the Japanese gunners crippled
nearly all of the Russian vessels, and
the same thing occurred in the battle
between Kamimura's fleet and the Via
divOstok fleet. 1t was the work of the
big guns of the Japanese fleet and not
the torpedoes that wrought such ter
rible work on the two Russian cruisers
that escaped to NladivOstOk.
Nothing new had been demonstrated
in the torpedo lighting during the pres
ent war. 1t was appreciated by other
countries, the United States includ-
ed, that torpedoes were an effective
means of attack. 1t was moreover
fNl't'ttA lllell llIt Jdlt4tSt WOulu 10
good work with them, for the Japs
We're known to be far in advance of
any other nation in torpedo warfare.
But as between the torpedo and gun
work the latter makes far the best
showing. Except for the midnight at
tack at the outbreak Of the war. the
torpedoes have not accomplished any
destruction.
The new element which has appeared
is the floating mine. 1t is this object
over which naval experts are worrying.
floating mine rides far enough be-
meath the surface to strike vesselS in a
vital place, as was shown i'm the cases
of the battleships Petrolovski and Hat
suse. The use of the mine is a new
problem that will have to receive atten-
ton from naval men. As regards the
submarine boat there is no direct evil
dence to prove that such a craft has
thus far been used by either side dur
ing the war But despite mines and
torpedoes, rolling seas and tumbling
ships, the man behind the gun still
stands paramount to any other element
in naval warfare. He did the work in
1898 for the Americans, and he is doing
the work in 1904 for the Japanese.

NEW YORK GRAIN
MARKET IRREGULAR

NEW YORK. July 23.-Today's mar
zet was Irregular and unsettled, with a
continuation Of manipulation against
the short interest in the next crop OPP
lions the feature of the strength which
that part Of the market showed as
against further weakness in the old
crop months on further liquidation In
those deliveries. Much rain Ia the Mis-
sissipPi Valley was given as the excuse
for covering OF shorts and manipulation
In all the options from the september
delivery to January. while the immi-
hence Of the strike among the operatives
in the Fall River mills. and the fear
that il will spread in other directions
was the cause Of the liquidation and
weakness in July and August. 1t looked
as though the new crop months were
put up to facilitate selling 10y certain in
tCresJs IN July and August. and at the
same time create better selling basis
IN the distant options July and August
showed a maximum decline of about 20
and 10 points respectively. while the
next crop options scored a maximum
advance Of 10 points. most OF which was
lost in the subsequent trading.

NEW YORK, July 23-The stock mar
ket today showed Il waiting and hest
tating disposition. Traders who were
long We're inclined to close out their
contracts for the week fearing that
some new complication in connection
with the Malacca controversy and the
naturalization of the Dardaneues might
develop over Sunday. There was also
some doubt as TO the extent TO which
resllzations Of AN important nature have
taken place this week. and how far in
consequence they may affect the early
operations of next week. Notwithstand-
ing these influences. however, the rail-
road list generally ruled fairly firm
and with small gains over yesterday $

ulatiOu was really found among the
iron and steel stocks and the shares OF
the railroad equipment companies. Steel

Fuel and Iron had specific
origin in the progress making

cation OF the bank statement showing

upon the speculation IL tended. how
ever. TO sustain the prices TO some
extent and the market closed firm.
Bonds were strong.
The London stock exchange was quiet
