TORPEDO BOATS MAKE
SERIES OF VICIOUS
ATTACKS ON RUSSIANS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press,
VLADIVOSTOK, May 90.-Two ships
alone of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
powerful flotilla, the swift cruiser
Alniaz and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozny, lie at anchor here today in
the curving harbor of Golden Horn,
they having separated from the fleet
in the early stage of the battle which
began in the Korean straits Saturday
and headed in obedince to orders, with
full speed to Vladivostok.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon no
other vessel of the Baltic fleet had yet
arrived and the signal stations at
Askold and Rimkykorsakoff islands re-
ported none in sight.
The Russian fleet, they say, was ven
in a sadder plight. Rojestvensky's flag
ship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, and her sis
ter ship the Borodino, and the cruisers
Osliabia and Ural were utterly destroyed
and when the fog closed down and hid
the scene of battle from sight north
ward of the speeding ships third great
Russian battleship, the Alexander III,
seemed in sore distress, but limping
northward, putting up a valiant fight
against the throngs of torpedo boats
and still continuing her attacks on the
cruisers OF the island empire.

CHICAGO. Oct 7-(special )-since my
last writing conditions have changed ma
terially--the Stock market has been eN-
cessively dull and almost entirely lrofes-
sional and the total OF dealings In stocks
and bonds has been very unsatisfactory.
The range Of prices has been narrow, with
the exception to be noted In a few special
ties which have been manipulated by spe-
cialists. Fluctuations have been governed
almost entirely by the money situation.
II Is rather peculiar that no decided at
tempt was made by the big operators to
advance stocks, even after the decided fall
ure to advance the rates was attempted by
the Bank Of England; but by virtue OF the
fact that large gold losses. to both the
Bank OF France and the Bank of England
were reported, this lack of activity ON the
part Of the big operators may be explained

CATTLE-As usual on the last day Of
the week, there were no cattle OF any con-
sequence in sight. Aside from the feeder
division. where there were a few cattle
in the hands Of spectators, the yards
were empty and deserted.

the week is safely 10Q20c lower than one
week ago. The decline has been on the
medium kinds principally, which Sonsti-
choice range beeves have been scarce all
the week and they have not shown much
change in prices. Corn-fed steers of good
quality have also been in very moderate
supply and for that reason they have re-
mained just about steady all the week.
The common to medium kinds, which
would be affected by the break on grass

Cows and heifers have suffered the most
decline of anything during the week. 1t

receipts than usual consisted of that kind

the week the general market on cows
and heifers is all of l5q2Oc lower and In
was at the close of last week.
Stockers and feeders have been in very
large supply all the week, but the demand
has also been large, so that the market

LONDON, Oct. money was in active
demand and scarce IN the market today.
Apparently the Bank of England had alb
sorbed the millions in dividends distributed
and was taking steps to maintain discount
rates, which were frmer. On the Stock
exchange business was dull and nominal,
partly owing to Its being the eve of the
settlement, while the scare regarding the
monetary outlook caused gloom In most
sections. The present tightness OF money
is not regarded as extraordinary, con-
sidering the requirements for crop moving
and other annual needs early in October.
Consols and home rails were quiet. Amer
leans opened firm, eased somewhat, fiuctu-
ated and closed above the loYest quotations
OF the day. The other sections were quiet
and dull. Business was mostly stagnant.
