Shojasan and Niryusan forts in the
west center of the Russian line of de-
Tense, and also to Kekwan fort, the
right wing of the Japanese army as
saulted Sojasan yesterday afternoon.
Having carried these approaches to
that height, the assailants entrenched
themselves under the glacis of the
forts. In the evening the left wing
delivered an assault on Kekwan, fight
ing its way to the lower parapet.
There the Japanese held their ground
stubbornly in the face of Russian
counter attacks.
Having been reinforced during the
night the Russians charged down
upon the Japanese and a desperate
hand to hand conflict ensued. The
Japanese beat back the enemy and
destroyed two covered positions in the
front moat. A japanese sub lieuten-

Cured CONSUMPTION.

Mrs. B.W. Evans, Clearwater Kan.
writes: my husband lay sick for
three months. The, doctors said he
had quick consumption. We pro-
cured bottle of Ballard s Horehound
Syrup, and it cured him. That was
six years ago. Since then we have
always kept "a bottle in the house.
We cannot do without it. For coughs
and colds it has no equal" 25c,

ter of the line of defense was captur-
ed by the severe fighting of the night.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the
Russian center. Severe explosions
and extensive fires have occurred in
the fortress within the last few days.
The total casualties of the Japan
ese in the late attacks we're HOO.
Over 500 we're killed up to October
20. The spirit of the men is magnifi
cent. The firing of all the guns is
wonderfully effective.

COTTON

New York, November 19.-The cotton
market opened easy at a decline of 2
tod points or about as were due on
easier cables. Weather south was ia
vorable and there were further reports
of free Offering of spots on the south.
Sentiment in local professional circles
seemed against the market and some
of the large room traders were evident
ly trying TO force further declines. But
there was also considerable covering
by male shorts at the lower level
and for over Sunday, and the market.
following the call, ruled fairly steady
with prices giving ground very slowly.
Business was quiet.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, November 1s.-Todays
stock market contested the reactionary
tendency which developed yesterday.
but prices showed reluctance TO ad-
vance. There was a s~prightly upward
movement after the appearance OF the
bank statement, but it was not held
and the closing was irregular n gen
eraly below the best
During the first hour many prominent
stocks went below last nights levei.
The bank statement seemed to reas-
sure sentiment TO some extent. The
decline in cash was rather larger than
indicated by the weeks currency
movement, but the loan contraction
reduced the deposits and the reserve re-
quirement SO as 70 raise the surplus
slightly. But some misgivings over
the money outlook was reflected in the
late renewal of the pressure TO sell. The
bank statement reflects this weeks
gold outgo to France only in part owing
to the average system OF computation.
Today's shipments both to Paris and
to Cuba are not reflected at all and so
over to next weeks statement. The
bespeaking of all the available gold
pdlo at tAc assay oiilIt loI SApoil "
France next week shows the unsatis-
fed requirement from that source and
the 81 800, 600 shipment arranged foE
next week TO Cuba is also to be reckon
ed with l. is obvious that the week
has made large encroachment on the
available supply of loanable funds.
The closing tone was irregular. Total
sales of bonds, par value. We're 81. 7Sc,-
600. Total sales of stocks today Were
$50, 500 shares.
