RoMBARDED PORT ARTHUR.
Japs ShelIed the Fortress and Caused
Slight Damage.

London, Feb. 24.-According to the
Standards correspondent at Seoul,
the Japanese bombarded Port Arthur
at intervals between Feb. 8 and Feb.
II, causing, however, only slight dam
age.
The report is confirmed, the CORE
spondent continues, that seventy miles
OF railroad track and some important
bridges have been destroyed between
Hardin and Vladivostock.
If the latter report is true it would
be great advantage to the japanese,
as VladivOstOck is known to be very
badly supplied and it therefore could
not long resist a Japanese attack.
Special dispaptches from st. Peters,
burg give various sensational reports
of a political nature
The telegraph, for instance, says the
Russian government has ordered it's
ambassador at Constantinople to OBJ
tain the permission of the porte for
the exit of the Black Sea fleet; but M.
Zinovieff, the ambassador, declined to
make this request and was able to
give the Russian foreign office conclu-
slVe reasons for his refusal.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.-The Japa-

soldiers in Manchuria for attempting
to blow up the railroad bridge over
the Sangari river were disguised as

NAY or TION REACHES A RECORD
PRICE AND THEN MAKES A
RAPID DESCENT.
DROP OF OVER FIVE CENTS
HEAVY TRANSACTIONS AND WIDE
RANGE OF PRICES DURING
THE EXCITEMENT

Chicago, Feb. 24-With the sudden
ness of culprit jerked from a scat
!old the May option of wheat Tuesday
Tell SIC, kicking up and down for
hours in spasms that were heart
breaking. Trading was on an enor-
nous scale. Fears of European COM
plications in the Russo-Japanese war
forced the price up to a new high rec
ord mark, $1.081h, but tremendous
liquidation caused headlong dive to
$1.03A. Compared with Saturdays
close, final figures were down 1%c.
July closed 1Mc lower. May corn was
off 11s @1Ac. oats 1c, and provisions
15@27Ac.
Wild excitement marked trading in
the wheat pit from the very start.
Buying orders appeared to come from
all directions at the opening. The
cause was sharp advances in foreign
grain markets. A rumor that the Eng
fish feet had been ordered to inter-
cept any attempt by the Russian feet
to pass the Dardanelles furnished an
additional motive to many traders.
The May delivery was in more active
demand than the deferred futures, and,
as a result, initial sales on that option
were at an advance of y @2A over
Saturdays closing figure, at $1.06A@
1.0S%.
The wide range of prices showed
more plainly than anything else the
excitement under which the market
opened. While some brokers were
bidding $1.08Az bushel for wheat,
others almost by their sides were sell
ing that commodity for &c a bushel
less. The volume of trading the first
few minutes was enormous Hun
dreds of thousands Of bushels were
sold on the advance and under this
heavy profit-taking the price of May
fell an even &c from the high point to
$1.047a. Many stop loss orders were
reached on the way down which added
to the weakness. Shorts in the May
option took advantage of the break to
cover, and the buying from this source
caused a recovery to $1.0612. Within
the last fifteen minutes another flood
of selling orders appeared in the pit.
The result of this renewed attack was
a break in May to $1.03A, decline of
SIC from the high point. The close
was weak with May at $1O4. July
closed at 93Ac.

still remains north of the river. The
Japanese seem to be confident that the
Russians are unable to assemble
sufficient force to attempt a move

strength north Of the Yalu is variously
estimated from 10000 to 10000 men.
