CONDITIONS FAVORABLE.
Dun and Bradstreet Find Much En-
enlargement in Business Situa
ton of the Country.

New York, March 19.-R. g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Improvement in trade and industry con-
tinues, favorable reports largely out
numbering adverse Influences. The most
important event of the week was the two
thirds vote by bituminous coal miners
to accept the proposed reduction in
wages. This will probably prevent q
serious struggle that would paralyze
manufacturing just when it is beginning
to revive. Complications have arisen in
the local building trades that retard
structural work, but settlement is an
ticipated and the open weather is stimu-
lating outdoor work at other points Re-
tail distribution of Easter goods steadily
expands and dealers stocks are being
depleted because of conservatism in in
itial purchases. This promises large
supplementary jobbing and wholesale
orders as the season advances.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States, compared with 22O last
year, and 81 in Canada, against 20 a
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: ''The backwardness
of spring trade, generally attributed to
almost interruptedly bad weather, tinges
most reports from distributive centers,
but several developments of the week
have been notably favorable.

abouts of the Vladivostok squadron is a
profound official secret, but there are
those here who believe that the Japanese
may wake up some morning to find that
the two divisions of Russia's Pacific
squadron have effected a juncture. It
is betraying no confidence to state that
both the admiralty and Vice Admiral
Makaroff, before he left for the far east,
regarded the fact that the divisions were
separated as most unfortunate for Rus
sia's chances of success at sea. Real
izing that offensive naval operations are
impossible under present conditions, it
is believed that no opportunity will be
neglected to repair this initial misfor-
tune, even should it involve consider
able risk

Tsah, has arrived here. 1t is under
stood that it will proceed to New

Japs Land Troops.
London, March 22.-Japan has landed.
or attempted to land troops at Helena
bay, half way between Port Arthur and
Newchwang, and only six miles from
the railroad. This news comes from st.
Petersburg 1t is admitted that the Rus
sian war department was startled by the
intelligence. Russian troops are now
being hurried to Fuchow, % miles south
of Helena bay, to resist the expected
landing. Newchwang is being hurried

Japanese force is expected to land on the
coast west of that city.
Enormous Russian Army.
St. Petersburg, March %. - 1t is Of
ficially announced that the mobilization
of Russia's army in Manchuria will be
complete by May rs, and that on that
date Gen. Kouropatkin will have field
force Of $4,000 infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery at his disposal. 1t is stated fur
Their, and by official sanction, that Russia
will not begin the serious land campaign
until June, and that a decisive battle
need not be expected before August.
Not since the Turko-Russian war of
1889 has any European power sent so
large an army into the field. France
fought Prussia in 1871 with 300 900 men.
Turkey in 1878. England fought the re-
cent Boer war with 100000. No power
in Europe ever transported an army of
$40, 900 men so great a distance as Rus
STA is doing in the present conflict with
Japan. The transportation obstacles are
enormous.
Cause Of Order.
Paris, March 22.-The Russian order
stopping entry into Newt hwang with
out a permit is understood in official
quarters here to be a military precau-
ton due to the uncertainty as to which
of five places the japanese will choose
for their first extensive land operations
The five points are the Yalu river, New
Chwang, Port Arthur, Vladivostok and
Pigeon Bay. The Russians, being IN
able to determine where Japan will
make her main attack, are making prep
arations and taking precautions at all
five points.

st. Petersburg, March 22-The re-
ported Russian victory on the Yalu
river, in which it was claimed 1900 jap
anese had been captured, frankly is de-
clared to have been impossible. At mill
tary headquarters it is pointed out that
to intiict such crushing defeat on the
Japanese the Russians would have had
to have been numerically enormously
superior to the enemy, which the Rus
slams in Korea are not.

large steamships are being prepared at
Sasebo for this new effort. They are
loaded with stone and will be linked to-

They will steam toward Port Arthur in
a line, and if not sunk by Russian guns
they will be blown up by their crews.
In either event they will block the en-

that considerable force Of japanese
