RUSSIAN REINFORCEMENTS.
Reuter's correspondent in St. Petersburg wires, it appears that reinforcements have been pouring into Lianyang for the past weeks totalling two Army Corps.
TERMINATION OF AUTUMN CAMPAIGN,
Router's Agency understands that the autunin campaign will probably terminate with the fall of Port Arthur and the driving out of General Kuropatkin from Liaoyang. It is pointed out that the financial position of Japan will enable her to continue the war for a long time yet, while as long as she is victorious her credit will be undiminished.

A large number of juuks with refugees have arrived to-day from Port Arthur,
From the 17th to the 23rd inst. there were several severe engagements round Port Arthur. On the 19th the Japanese occupied a post north of Yitseslian, and subsequently attacked the latter place and drove off the Russians, but did nol occupy it as it is commanded by another fort, but they placed their guns on an adjacent hill which is not covered by the Russian fire.
On the 18th and 19th the Japanese bombard ed the fort at Antseshan, but it seems to have held out up to the 26th.

FARNHAM, BOYDS:
The following letter, dated the 1st ult, and addressed to the directors of S. C. Farnham, Boyd & Co., Ltd., is printed in the Shanghai Mercury of 26th August:—
Gentlemen,-With regard to your recent refusal to show me the value at which 6.5. München stood in your books at 30th April last, I desire, before the matter goes any fur ther, to recapitulate the facts as they appear to me so that there can be no possible grounds for a misunderstanding,
The German steamer 'tradin chartered by the Porland and Asiatic Steamship Company, which was captured by the Vladivostok squadron on the 22nd July, says the N. C. D., News, of joth ult., arrived at Woosung late on Sunday morning, came up to the Yangtze Wharf and Godown Company's wharf in the lower reach yesterday morning, and was to leave again for Japan in the early hours of this that day, orders to that effect not having been to the steamer's book valuc, that I could see moming. She came to Shanghai direct from Vladivostok and by courtesy of Messrs. Carlo- witz and Co. (the agents here) and Capt. Rogers, à representative of this paper was able to glean from those who came down on her something of her experiences and of the pre- sent condition of affairs in Vladivostok.

At the general meeting the chairman made a distinct promise, in reply to my inquiry as the figures in the books, and further that the directors had no wish to conceal anything from the shareholders, any of whom could obtain the information in the office downstairs. There then followed what one newspaper calls "faint applause" and the accounts were passed.
A day or two later having called at the com pany's office for the fulfilment of the above promise, I was distinctly told (all of your number then in Shanghai being present) that the promise would not be kept.
I then addressed a letter to the Managing Director, asking him to appoint a time at which I might call and see the figures in the books and in reply received a letter promising me the information sought, if I would give a guar- antee that I would not use it to the prejudice of the company's interests. Having given an assurance of my intentions was invited to call when to my surprise I was shown a book labelled contract book" containing two pages of figures, about half of them in pencil, having reference to the cost of str. funcher's repairs.
To my query as to whether the sum total re- presented the book value of the str. Afuncken at 30th April, 1901, no definite answer was given and feeling that I was no wiser than be. fore (since as I then said the vessel might have been written down to a thousand taels, or as one of your number said written up to a million taels), I asked to see the Ledger balance brought forward to this year's account. This was refused and 1 was informed that other shareholders who have made similar requests had also been refused.
What these other shareholders intend to do, I don't know. As for myself, seeing that a promise made before the passing of the accounts is broken immediately after that I am asked to give a guarantee and then shown figures which are worthless as far as my ques- tion is concerned, I cannot but feel that I have been trifled with and must request you to reconsider your decision at your very earliest convenience.—Yours, etc.,

The reclamation of the foreshore of the "nat- row reach" of the Canton river, whereof a sub- stantial bund will be the result, appears to have been seriously begun. That the Pearl river should have a bund from East to West, 35 Shanghai and Hankow, has been the dream of certain progressive Chinese during the last twenty years. Unfortunately, when the lund is reclaimed, and the bund built, there will not be space enough for gardens as you have in ShangHE Steamship hai-a refreshing trysting-place on a summer's evening.

It is assumed that, as in the reclamation of the foreshore of the harbour in Hongkong, the money which the land will make when sold, will recoup those who have the scheme in hand, even after the strip of land for a wide street has been retained.
