TO blockade Port Arthur. His knowl-
edge OF the Japanese naval plans, as
tentatively prepared. leads him and
others here TO believe that the Japan
csc feet is now lying between Chez
Foo and the Ys3u river, screening the
landing OF troops-one army corps at
Fusan and two at Pen Yang, Korea.
Night torpedo attacks on the part Of
the Japanese feet will. it is believed,
be kept up so long as the Russian feet
maintains its necessarily open position
outside OF Port Arthur. This will be
done in the hope Of breaking up the
Russian nerve.
The troops landing At Pen Yang
will be pushed towards the MAnchurf-
an frontier. Those at Fusan will pro
coed to Seoul.
Unless Vicerop AlexieR assumes the

Atlanta, Feb. 10.-RRtss on money
Will go up from Az per cent 10 per
cent on account of the Baltimore fire.
1t is thought by local financiers.
This may not apply to Atlanta in
the immediate future, bus it is almost
certain to reach this section soon, and
preparations to meet such a contin-
gsncy will be made at once.

said that it will be necessary for them
TO borrow large sums to meet their
outstanding obligations. and as there
is a very general demand for ready
money al this season and during the
coming two months, the rates are sure
to be raised.
This will affect the south especially.
Is great proportion or the merchants
OF this section purchase their goods
in Baltimore. AS rule, the business
OF the merchants Of Atlanta and the
outlying towns is done in New York
and Baltimore. and as most Of the
wholesale houses of the latter city
have been destroyed and cannot be re-
placed within the next IL months, q
great part OF the business of the
southern company stores will be trans
ferred to Atlanta. Already many of
these small dealers had begun TO come
here TO do their trading, and the fact
that the nearest northern market, as
it was considered, is destroyed,
cause more OF them to make their Sc
lectiOns of goods in this market. Lo-
cal people state that they are amply
supplied with the articles usually
bought Of the greatest supply Business
done. in Baltimore and that they can
handle their trade without embarrass-
ment. One OF the great supply bust
ness done in Baltimore was that OF
millinery. In this respect Atlanta is
peculiarly fortunate, as there are q
number Of such establishments here.
