The Lulu in the Fighting.


Since the fighting of last Sunday af-
ternoon and evening we have no news
Of engagements between the armies of
Kouropatkin and 0yama more serious
than occasional skirmishes between
outposts or a little desultory artillery
fighting Both armies seem to be we'll
concentrated, aud facing each other at
distance of only two or three miles.
except possibly on the japanese right,
which is the Russian left, where the
hilly country necessitates division of
forces.
1t may be, the Chicago Record-Her-
aid says, that the heavy rain. flooding
the rivers. has been the main factor
which has occasioned the temporary
lull in the fighting Again. the ex-
haustion of the men and the need of
bringing up fresh supplies OF ammrui-
ton may have had more TO do with *.
Neither army seems inclined to retire,
but which will first take the offensive
no one can say. The Siberian Railway
seems to be given over entirely to
troop trains Fastening re-enforcements
to Kouropatkin, but if his losses are
nearly as great as seems probable it
| should take perhaps three weeks mere
! ly 10 make them good with new
| troops H1wever e Mukden dispatch
says that had It not been for new
downfall of rain Thursday Kouropat-
kin would again have taken the ag-
gressive that night. Oyama. it willsbe
/ remembered. said in one of his dis
/ patches toward the eud of the hard
/ fighting that he had attained his first
/ object. leaving it to be inferred that
his plans included a second object al
ready definitely determined upon. That
may be an advance upon Mukden.
/ The weather in Manchuria will not
seriously interfere with fighting for at
( least a month more. Then the rivers
| will begin to fill with floating ice,
making them difficult to ford, especial
/ ly for transport services. The surface
of the ground will freeze about that
| time and form a crust. which, over
/ soft mud beneath, viii only make
teaming more difficult for the time
| By Christmas the ground is us1:g.ly
frozen to a depth that makes uenching
impossible The fuel problem win be
very serious for both armies, as there
are said to be no forests on the hills
within the sphere of the present oper-
atoms, except in the neighborhood OF
| the Imperial tombs near Mukden.
| Port Arthur is steadily weakening
The investing lines are constantly
growing tighter The garrison per-
sists in desperate sorties, which are
invariably repulsed with slaughter. 1t
is said that the defenders now number
less than 5000. That is below the dan
ger line. Such a slender garrison could,
with difficulty. man the long perimeter
Of the RGssiGn defenses. A few more
sorties a few more bloody repulses,
aad the place must fail of its own
weight-because its defenders have
been killed off.

~ The variable weather
conditions We're somewhat of a him
drance to retail lines, but notwith-
standing this there was little indica-
ton of reduced consumption in the ne
cessities. The production Of leading
manufacturers maintains steady adj
vance and is better distributed, while
prices exhibit rising tendency in fur
mace product.
New orders are notable in ship-build-
ing and rolling stock in anticipation of
transportation expansion by lake and
rail. These commitments involve large
expenditures and are indicative OF the
improved confidence felt throughout
business circles.
Developments in the line of new en-
terprise are found encouraging and
building requirements disclose no
d,minution. Lumber receipts, 1896
600 feet, are the heaviest this season,
and compare with 80, $4,000 feet a
year ago. The recent drain on yard
stocks is followed by a prompt replen-
ishment, and heavy factory needs are
being provided for. Distribution of
other commodities has widened, and
railroad traffic returns exceed those of
the corresponding week last year.
East-bound forwarding made a sharp
gain in foodstuffs, especially of pack
ing-house product. Wholesale dealings
make the best showing within the last
two years. Buying is more character
ICED by discount taking, and, while
merchants select cautiously, the dispo-
sition to limit their extent is less APP
parent than during last month. In
terror advices generally are satisfac-
tory as to merchandising and crop con-
ditions, winter wheat having made an
excellent start
The situation in metals attracts con-
siderable attention, and the remark
able reawakening to activity imparts
much strength throughout other indus
trial departments. Aside from rails,
contracts reached a heavy aggregate,
and while pig iron is in best demand
there was also liberal buying Of struc-
tural material, plates and merchant
forms Factory supplies have run into
much tonnage for early consumption
by car and machinery interests. Hard
ware and farm machinery producers
report a steady gain in output, and
the furniture and woodworking
branches are all busy.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number thirty-five, against TWEEN
ty-one last week and twenty eight a
year ago.
