The next moiumg, July 2b. the •srw ,*?fog (1 eared away at 6 o'clock and the Japamse then began to fire along the 'H'V -entile line. This Are was kept up I' "'p.until dark. The Japanese marksman ship was most accurate, showing that I. ., they had derived benefit from the -practice of the preceding day. Their heaviest fire was directed against the batteries, which Included U:*the 1^-inch naval guns commanded by •.*.{ Prince Tscheidse and Captain Skryd .» loff. perfect shower ol shells hit S jthe earthworks or went screeching ^iuto the valley behind, doing lonsldei iable damage to the artillerymen. The hottest lighting began at day break of July 27. The battle com jmenced under the rays of a scorching -sun. The Russian right wing was coin v i, manded by Major Ueneral Kondraten who was compelled to undergo the brunt of the terrific cannonading. To this fierce fire the Russians replied Wy-l-'.'iwith deliberation. Th« naval battery was again made the target tor the heaviest fire and It was evident that the Japanese were trying to silence the most dangerous Russian position. t^A perfect shower of shrapnel was ^thrown into the valley behind the ftus ,sian batteries.

Aug. 8.—Bradstreet's weekly review of trade says business and industrial conditions are still ir regular and render generalization as to the future difficult. Continued good reports from the corn crop and absolutely brilliant conditions in cot ton tend to offset undeniably disap pointing reports in the premier cereal, wheat. Dispatches to Bradstreets in dicate an appreciable enlargement In the distribution of merchandise at Western points, collections show a flight gain and Southern advices are optimistic. The Iron trade, too, is snowing improvement, and even bi tuminous coal is looking up. Other basK1 industries are not so favorably situated. Anthracite coal production la curtailed and demand is slack, ex cept where stocks need replenishing. Demand for boots and shoes is less than a year ago, but leather is active and higher, owing partly to the effect :f the meat strike upon the hide mar ket. A few large stocks are responsi nle for considerable idleness in dif ferent industries.
