The Japanese captured Port Arthur Wednesday. The fighting began on Tuesday. Loniion, Nov. 2 The Central News) correspondent at Slmngba! says the fall of Port Arthur has created great excite ment in the native quarter of Shanghai. News of the capture of Port Arthur by the Japanese was brought from Che Foo yesterday by the British steamer. No details of the fight have yet been received, but all accounts agree that the Chinese fought gallantly and desperately. Some of the officers and men in the lorts re fused to surrender and were all cut down by the Japanese. The Star poblislies a dispatch saying that the Japnnise torpedo boats en gaged the attention of the forts while the troops closed around the forts nt the rear. Then the torpedo boats made a sudden concerted dash nt'd succeeded in getting inside the harbor. The Japa nese nrtilU'rv in the rear kept up a con tinuous fire upou the Chinese furls and infantry and mndca succession of at tacks upon the cuter defences, which thev captured. After the first onslaught bv the Japa nese the rcsi-tancc of the Chinese is said to have been feeble. Finnllv the Chinese troops beenme pnnic stricken and fled. The real fighting at Port Arthur began November, 20, in the third pass, the vil l.me of Shuisz Yiim having been euptured Novinibcr 19. Another dispatch says the British war ship Porpoise brought newsuf the hnttle and fall of Port Arthur to Che Poo. The Shanghai correspondent of the Central News says it is estimated that 15,000 to, 20,000 Chinese troops defended port; Arthur. It is supposed two Chinese war ships are also at Port Arthur. The foreign officer has received n ilis pntch from the Ilritish minister nt Tokio confirming the report ol the capture ot Port Arthur.

N8v York, Nov. 24 -Bradstrcefs savs: The features of the general trade for the week, include an increase in distri bution of holiday goods, of heavy cloth ing, hats, seasonable dry goods, and, at various points, hardware and shoes. This was stimulated by seasonable cold weather and a continuance of the feeling of confidence in a nearby improvement in demand. At the south a favorable Influence is a moderate advance in the price of cotton, due to the greater favor with which lower estimates of the result of the cot ton crop are being read, and prevalence of the opinio that the price of cotton is too low. There has been a good de mand for spot cotton. Some shippers of southern lumber complain that south ern railroads are showing preference to cotton. From points in southeastern Atlantic states some hesitancy is re ported in supplying goods before mak ing collections lor the full season's busi ness. At the north lake navigation hus practically closed and the results of the season's work are generally unsatisfac tory. Trade in wool is quiet, but the volume is increasing, with territories relatively most active and fleece wools showing visibly the effects of competition of Australian wool. At the eastern cities the volume of trade in dry goods has fallen off, although the tone of the mar ket is good and colder weather inclines to help it. There is only a moderate volume ot business reported from any southern city, and at none of them is there an in crease compared with recent weeks, Dun s review says: Tbc most important of the signs of import is larger employment ol labor, answering n better demand on the whole lor manufactured products. Much of this is due to the unnatural delay of orders for the winter, which are said to be from long nnd prolonged uncertainty, but it means actual increase in earnings and purchasing power of the millions, and so gives promise of a larger demand in the future. Prices of farm products in the nggregnte do not improve, but the prevailing hopefulness is felt in some whnt larger transactions. The re is no improvement in the de mand for commercial loans, and money still drifts to tbisceuter, scarcely anv now going south and none west. Textile in dustries have added a few factories to the working list against only one or two withdrawn and there has been im provement in the demand for woolens. YALE THE FAVORITE.

A careful reading of the article on Ashe ville by Dr. T. E. Linn In the Chicago Medical Century for November 15 brings one to the conclusion that it must take rank among the very best contributions so far published on the climate and at tractions of this section to the invalid. Dr. Linn gives instances of cures effected here, of lives prolonged after cases have been pronounced hopeless, and, in short, makes in a small space concise, telling statements that must arrest the atten tion of everv one who reads. The sub jects treated nndcrdinercnt headingsare: geography, climate, rainfull, wind, sun shine, altitude, sons and gardens, lou nge, diseases benefited in this climate. history and progress, and scenery mak ing altogether a very comprehensive presentation of the subject. In closing the article. Dr. Linn says: "We will grant to the Western moun tains their grandeur and their abrupt and rugged heights, but we will retain the peaceful, the beautiful and the sub lime. No one should criticise Asheville until he has been upon the summit of Beaumont, Sunset, Gouche's Peak or Gold View, for no brush can paint it, no voice describe it; for vou cannot paint the air, you cannot portray the bloom of flowers, nor can you voice the song of birds. I can imagine nothing more beau tiful than an autumn sunset, when the foliage presents all the colors of the rain how, and the sun, sinkingoverthe dusky ramparts of Smoky mountains, kisses the tinted leaves upon the bosom of the Blue Kidge, unfolding the very soul of nature, and heaven and earth, unitine in one grand struggle tor supremacy in the play ol colors, (juietlv sink to slum ber in the arms of night."
