DUN'S WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Continued Expansion of Business De-
spite European situation.

New York. Nov. 15.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S Weekly Trade Review tomor-
row will say:
Business continues to expand. un-
checked by the Balkan war with it's
grave European complications. The
domestic and foreign demand for iron
and steel products is even larger than
before. breaking all records. The rail-
roads are making every effort to move
promptly the tremendous traffic Of the
country and at the same time are
making due preparation for the re-
quirements of the future. There are
also signs of preparation for the open
ing Of the Panama Canal. Evidence
OF the expansion in iron and steel was
furnished by the increase of over a
million tons in the untitled orders of
the leading interest last month. This
gain may be attributed in part to
the steady developmet of new export
business.
Heavy orders of pig iron have been
placed and quotations are firm with
only moderate tonnages available for
spot delivery.
Greater strength has developed in
dry goods, manufactures Of the tex
tiles being sold ahead.
Prints are selling more freely and
recorders on shirtings and spring wash
fabrics are more general. Far East
ern export trade has been confined
this week to sales Of standard drills
to India, the miscellaneous foreign
markets being quiet. In woollens
stocks appear to have been cleaned
up better than usual. Cotton yarns
are higher and very steady, while
worsted yarns are firm.
Conditions in footwear are becoming
steadily more satisfactory. All kinds
Of shoe feathers are now in growing
demand.

This they literally did and the unfor-

An extraordinary feature of condi-
tions behind the Turkish lines at
Tchatalja is the Indifference of the
army to the presence of unauthorized
visitors. Any foreigner wearing either
a fez or European hat may hire a
vehicle and drive to the Turkish en-
trenchments and inspect the troops.
There appears to be no Gordon to pre-
vent fugitives from returning to Con-
stantinople.
Several foreign officers uGno visited
the lines Thursday and Friday report
the situation hopeless. The trenches
are only partly dug. A huge pile of
barbed wire Is stacked near the en-
dangered northern wing. never having
been put to use. The troops for the
most part are unable to work because
cholera infected soldiers are keeping
watch in the earthworks.

The three physicians at Derkos have

ConstantinOple, Nov IL, 5.45 d. m.
The great battle between the Bull
garians and Turks is on all along the
line Of the Tchaltaja fortihcations.
Nazim Pasha. the Turkish commander
in chief, sent the following dispatch
tonight
"The battle which commenced this
morning with an attack by Bulgarian
infantry lasted until one hour after
sunset. The enemy. who advanced
chiefly facing our right wing and our
centre, was repulsed by our infantry
and artillery fire. Three Bulgaria. n
batteries were destroyed"
All through the day the sound Of
heavy guns was heard in Constantine
pie. IL ceased only with darkness
The firing along the entire line was
evidently preparatory to a general at
tack.
The Turkish batteries replied Wig
orously.
The Turkish ships in the sea of
Marmora shelled the Bulgarian posi-
items. Undoubtedly the fleet in the
Black sea also took part In the en-
gagement, though details from that
point are lacking.
In the afternoon the wind shifted
and II seemed for a time as though
the battle had ended. but again the
booming was heard. and the move
ment OF troops could be observed not
far from the gates of the capital. A
detachment OF several thousand from
the Tchatalja lines was replaced by
fresh troops who had been held in re-
serve near the city.
The refugees behind the lines be-
gan breaking camp early in the day
and moved back toward CONSTANT
noplc. The Greek villagers, who
heretofore had remained admirably
indifferent To events. prepared TO de-
sert their homes. While calm pre-
vailed there was "A Gcathly tension in
the knowledge that the fate Of the
capital. the Turkish army and those
who waited anxiously In Constant
noplc was at stake.
Several members of the legations
and foreign residents witnessed the
artillery duel which they describe as
hasnihc"nt ON the Sea Of Marmora
and the shclling from height to
height across Biyuk Chckmcdyc lake
ana over the plains towards the
