Trade Outlook as Reported by Dun d Co.
Shows an Improvement in the
Situation.
New York, Sept. 3.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Confidence increases each week us
larger proportion Of the agricultural
yield is placed beyond the reach Of in
jury and industrial undertakings are
less interrupted by labor controversies.
1t is not to beexpected that the business
world will suddenly abandon its con-
servative attitude, purchases being still
restricted largely to such needs as are
clearly discerned, but there is evidence
of growing disposition to provide for
more remote requirements. The gross
earnings of all railways reporting for
three weeks of August show a gain Of
IA per cent. over the same time last
year.

duration of the fighting, the numbers

ed indicate that Liaoyang will prove
to be one of the greatest battles of his

The dispatch received from Field
Marshal Oyama announcing the fall Of
Liaoyang had the effect of cheering
all of the subjects of the mikado.
Throughout the rejoicings here follow
ing the earlier successes of japanese
arms at Iiaoyang the more thoughtful
people feared the results of the ex-
posture to which the right wing of
General Kuroki's army was subjected,
and it was held possible that the
strength of the Liaoyang Notifications
would permit the withdrawal Of the
bulk of the Russian forces there.
Even now there is doubt concerning
the number of Russians who have es-
capped, but there is 10 doubt about
the character of the victory ut Liao-

War Comments nf a Russian Editor-No
Military Stores at Liaoyang.
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-The Novos-
tt, commenting on the abandonment of
Liaoyang, says that the foreign press
attaches undue Importance to its effect
on the war. There could have been
only one issue of the fight which might
definitely have settled the whole cam
paign, namely, the utter and crushing
defeat Of the japanese, says the pa
per, and since that has not occurred
there must be other battles. The fight
ing near I4iaOyang is now approach
ing its elimination, The Noyosti con-
tinues, but whatever its final issue,
1t caiNot be regarded as the last word.
The war can only be settled on terms
of peace satisfactory to RUSSIA with
regard to her position in the Far East.
The Novoe Nremya newspaper
claims to have information to the ef-
feet that the bulk of the Russian sup
plies We're removed from Liaoyang to
Mukden before the battle commenced.
The paper says that the belief of the
public that Liaoyang would be held by
the Russians was based on the thought
that the supplies were still there, and
that it was thought that Liaoyang
would be sort of Plevne-held gar
rison, even if the main army re
treated northward.
The fact is, however, the paper adds,
that the place had been virtually dis
mantled, and was held by strong
rear guard The battle of Liaoyang
therefore becomes merely rear-guard
action of an exceptionally fierce char
acter. Liaoyang's defenders have now
safely eXtricated themselves, the paper
concludes, and have Joined the main
army across the Taitse river in the
neighborhood of Yentai.
