VI Ihe word improve
hPX IOTk ment," according to Brad
-------I streets, summarizes briefly
,he course of trade and general indus
try this week. Although the movements,
as for a time past, are along conserva-
tive lines, the undertone is more optimis-
tic than at any previous time this sea-
son. Notable features are the improve
ment in jobbing trade at nearly all west
ern points in dry goods shoes, groceries,
millinery, hardware. paints anI drugs.
Reports of better collections are general.
Pacific coast trade shows some expan-
sion. though heavy rains in California
have been damaging to grapes. raisins
and vegetables. Water transportation to
the eastern seaboard is being considered.
Eastern trade shows a fairly good tone
on better industrial outlook, and the re-
ports of better trade coming from the
West and South.
Among the industries the features are
the better buying of pig iron and frmer
prices for the furnace product. North
western advices are that the lumber cut
the coming winter will be n light one.
Coal is more active, but bituminous
prices are still low

SLAUGHTER AT PORT ARTHUR.

Emperor Nicholas has received Gen
Stoessels official report of the desperate
four days assault of the besiegprs Oon
Port Arthur from Sept. 10 to Sept -.
from which it appears that the unoffi-
cial report from Chefoo was by no MEANS
exaggerated. The japanese displayed
frenzied bravery. but they lost 10000
men and their only success was the cap
ture of two redoubts guarding tie water
works.
The Jauanese prepared for the assault
by a general bombardment and then
launched their attacks simultaneously
from the north and west. Night and day
they fought under cover of continual
bombardment from their siege guns and
fin lily reached the redoul,ts on the north
size, but omy after the defense there
had been completely demolished by shell
fire from the west.
The japanese efforts were directed
chiefly against the commanding position
on High mountain. which faces Pigeon
bay, slightly south of Fort Etseshan. The
mountain is 500 feet high aud if it had
fallen it's possession would have given
the Japanese a tremendous lever against
the chain Of inner defenses. The car
mage there was terrible and eliminated
