THE FIGHTING ALONG THE RIVER LOM. [By Calle to The Chicago Trivune.) LoxvoN Orrice of Tne CHIciGO TRIBUNE, 6 PALGRAVE PLACE, STRAND, Sept. 1—11 p. m. —What must provo the decisive fighting of the war has began in earnest. There are no longer isolated sttacks at unexpected points, but there is one general combat all slong the line. 'That the Russinns were de- feated at the great engagement of Thursday, between Karahasson and Yenikoi, is now certain, but the results are surprising, even to the English, whose entire sympathies are with the Tarks, for everybody here has thought that -in a regular pitched battle the Russians must be victorious. It is stated in seversl dispatches that THE RUSSIANS WERE SURPRISED, and this is probable, because it is well known that the Russians themselves bave been re- cently contemplating an offensive movement. Plevna had to be avenged, snd the first point to bo attacked when remnforcements came up was to be Plevna. This was the Russian idea, but the Turks have been before themn and interfered with their plans. The great battle fought on Thursday along the banksof the Loln showed a. striking similarity in its main features to the victory gained o few days ago by Muktar Pasha at Guedeker. In both instances THE TURES WERE THE ASSAILANTS and captured strong positions from the ene- my, together With a large guantity of arms and ammunition. In the more recent fight- ing the Ottoman troops advanced from Rasgrad and Eski Djuma, one column mov- iog upon Karrshassan, the second upon Yenikoi, and the third upon Yaslar. At first tho Russians seemed to have given way, but after a time rallied at Karrahassan, where A DESPERATE STRUGGLE TOOE PLACE. 1In spite, however, of & vigorous resistance, b6 Turkish columns pressed onward, ousted the enemy from their intrenchments, and pursued them ss far as Popskoi, when dark- ness put an end to the pursuit. So run all accounts yot received, but it remains to be scen what coloring the Russians will give the affair. All dispatches have come FROM COBRESPONDENTS AT THE TURKISH HEAD- QUARTERS. These dctermined assaults on the Sistova- Tirnova line from the east look as if Mehmet Ali intended to strike the Russians before they could receive assistance from their new allies, the Servians. Osman Pashs, from Plevns, is reported to have detsched the forco which had already engaged the Rou- manian column soon after crossing the Dan- ube. SCHIPEA. No further fighting appears to have taken place at Schipks, but o Shumla telegram af- firms that Suleiman Pasha captured Agatch, a village some twelve or thirteen miles south of Gabrova. The truth of this statement 1S QUESTIONABLE, s Suleiman, Pasha in his Iatest dispntch‘s merely caims that he made s successful reconnoissance as far as Agaich, where he found the Russians in some strength. One fact is beginning to impress itself on attentive observers, namely : that the Mus- covite soldiers do not seem to fight so stoat- Iy s was expected from the antecedents of the Russinn army. Perhaps their camps 1may have beon guffering from severe sick: nesg,— A VEBY DEMOBALIZING INFLUENCE when armies are sedentary for any length of time, or may be the northern legions cannot endure the excessive and exhsusting heat of Bulguria o well as the acclimatized Tarks. ‘B this as it may, there is something strange in secing troops who fought so pluckily in the Crimes falling back apparently panic- stricken before the more or less raw levies of the Sultan. In the lsst ten dava tho Rus- wilp Teibune, PRICE FIVE CENTS: sians have lost the magnificent double posi- tions, Lom and Kane-Lom. IN ASTA MINOB the same spectacle presents itself, portions of Mukhtar Pasha's command having actually crossed the frontier and carried war into the enemy’s territory. It is reported that Gen. Melisioff hrs abandoned his position at Kar- kudara and taken up fresh ground covering Alexandrignople. If this proves true, it will go far to show that he considersthe offensive campaign terminated for the present year. HARVEST PROSPECTS. CAIRD’S ANNUAL RRVIEW. J (By Cable to The Chicsgo Tridume.l Loxpon Orrice or Tre Calcaco TRIBUNE, 6 Parazave Pracg, Stranp, Sept. 1—8 p. m. ~—James Caird in his annoal letter to the Times on the harvest prospects says: *“The extent of the wheat is greater by nearly 200,- 000, acres than last yenr, but $00,000 Beres, or one-ninth, below the average of the ten preceding years. On s careful snalysis of returns from farmers in various parts of the country, I find that in twelve of the principal ‘wheat counties, which represent one-halfs of the whent growth of the Kingdom, three- quarters of the returns show that the crop is below the average, while one-quarter give an average crop. For the remainder of the country, the deficiency is BOMEWHAT LESS in proportion. Returns show a very general deficiency. They are below an average crop, bat not grestly below. The general yield is Dbetter than that of 1853, 1867, or 1873, the three worst crops in thirty-four years, but I fenr that it will not be equal even to the de- fective crop of last year, and that, notwith- standing the increased acreage, we shall not have more than between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 of the home crop. The reduction of consumption consequent on the enhanced price may reduce the year’s requirements to 20,500,000 quarters. On the two conditions, of strict economy in consumption and an early harvest next year, 2 THE FOREIGN SUFPLY wo should in these circumstances require might be Hmited to 11,000,000 quarters. This takes a most fevorable view of our po- sition, for north of the Trent most-of the crop is still unharvested, and is subject to risks of late season and very unsettled weather. If we were the only country that required help, and if we could rely on a continuance of the large scale of foreign imports which hals marked the last four years, there would be little: cause for epprehension, but with the exception of some parts of Spain all Western Enrope is deficient, and the ports of tho Black Sea are closed, while the renewal of famino in Indis can Bardly admit of &n in- crease of supplies from that quarter during the present year. We must, therefore,~ LOOK TO AMZRICA for a considerable increase even on her great exports of the last four years, and, if the war in Turkey continues, the vast resources of the United States and Canada will indeed be severely taxed to make good the wants of this country sud Western Earope. The smell home ecrop of 1875 supplemented by the largest import wo have ever yet received, afforded five and one-half bushels per hesd. The deficient crop of 1876, with an import which somewhat exceceds twelve million quarters, has afforded very little over five bushels. If the Black Sea ports continue closed for the coming harvest year, we may have to restrict consumption to considerable less than five bushels a head. ¢ The other home-grown crops PROMISE LITTLE AID, ‘barley being deficient, and oats not above an average, while potatoes are much decreased. 1In 1866 and 1867, when, from too deficient crops and comparatively small imports, the quantity of wheat for consumption fell be- low five bushels a bead, the price wag G4 shillings. In the past twenty-five years the quantity has on several occasions fallen be- low that mark, and the price of these years has averaged 60 shillings. If, therefore, the Black Sea ports continue closed during the coming harvest year, we may be thankfal if it goes no higher.” ESKI-SAGHRA. ACCOUNT OF ITS DRSTRUCTION. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. - Nrw Yorx, Sept. 1.—The Zribune's Constan- tinople correspondent, describing the destruc- tion of the City of Eski-Saghra, says: Asthe Turkish troops approached the city, the Moslem inhabitants began to issue forth from thei hiding places, and before the troops had falrly entered the place Moslem citizens began to break in the doors of all the Bulzarian bouses. It tvok hardly ten mioutes to pillage 500 houses. ‘There was a continuous and rapid fire of musketry goiug on all over the city. At the same time, the Turks say, the Bulgarians fired from their houses and churches on the troops. There are NO BULGARIANS LEFT to give their side of the stors. All the Bulgarl- an men seewed to be killed at sight, as if by arrangement. ‘The women and children were spared as o general thing, but tbe hideous pil- lagre, and firing, and shrieks, and shouts con- tinued all night, and great districts of the city were burning, as if ail the other horrors wero ot enough. - At daglight Suleiman Pasha ordered all Mos- Icms and Jews. whoun the Turks protected ss it they were their own people, to leave the place, since bis contemplated operations did not in- «ude any such thing as the defense of Eski- Sagbra. So the Turks loaded up their women and children on waguns, aud went to the near- st railway station, followed by what ecemed an endless train of Bulgarian women and children. WO IAD LOST ALL. ‘These conld see in Turkish wagons goods stolen from their homes, but they might not dare ask forthem. Eski-Saghra was left to the fames, and In fts streets and fn the surronnding vil- lages the rattle of riflcs was constant FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS, ‘there seemed t be a purpose to uill every,.

Now, froin the scared aud blis hill, you look over the plain, aud its forty villages are blackened ash-beaps foul from the hand of death. No onc will ever hww' the exact loss of life at Eski-Saghra. Seven thousand women and children of its Christian population are dependent on charity in Adrianople to-duy. These people belicve all of their male relatives to TAVE BEEN KILLED. The City of Eski-Saghra is entirely wiped out of existence. Two Amecrican missionaries, Rev. Mesars. Bird and Marsh, with their wives aud five small children, were in Eski-Saghra during the sacking of the place. They sheltcfed some Ppaor wretches who were in danger at the hands of the Bulgarian mob, who fea some of their Moslem neighibors. 1n consequence of this and other kindnesses, their Moslem neighbors rallied around during the destruction of the and saved their lives. At one time the Cireassians drew their swords and came at the missionaries to kil them; but the Turks withstood them, acd between entreatics and resistance ; KEPT THE RUEFLINS AWAT, although in one case the missionaries had to pay a Circassian $60 in wold as aransom: The ‘Turks then got word to the Gaveraor of the city, who at once came to see the missionaries, and provided them with a guard of regular soldiers, which kept off all.inarauders, and thirty or more Bulgarisns were saved from death in their bouse. _These missionaries LOST RVERYTHING THEY POSSESSED, escaping Lo the railroad with ouly the clothes they had on, and on the road sleeping for threo nights on the bare ground aud living on raw wheat.

When this fiag is in the field, cvery Moslem fs in duty bound to go to war. It is not commonly s signal for a general attack on Christians, a1- though it does mean that no quarter will be piven in battle. ‘The dangerof its display is that the people, being cailed upon in a general way to make war, do 8o after their own style. The bringing ont of the great flag in this war would be an abrogation of the Geneva Conven- tion for the ameliorating of suflering on tho battlefield. MONEY AND STOCKS. CONDITION OF THE LONDON MARKET. Special Dispatch to Tae Tribune. LoxDoy, Sevt. 1.—~The rise in the bank rate on Tuesday caused a corresponding advance of fally 1 per cent in the open moncy and the dis- coupt markets at the end of the week, thougit there secms to be few bills inthe market. Money is scarce, and brokers have further raised their allowance upon deposit notice. In conse- quence of the internal demand for money usuzl in France at this season of the year,itisex- i pected that French momey Will now be wused to o less extent than of late employed in the disconnt of bills on London, and brokers hero are preparing for an improved business. The rise in the bank has caused thespeculative stock ‘markets to give way, prices having evidently for along time vast been bouyed up by the cheap rate at which money was obtainable. This even applies to some extent to American raflways, althongh they as-a rule show a rise on the week in consequence of the continucd anticipation af A LARGE GRAIN TRAFFIC, i In Colonial-Government securities the decling has been usually licht. In English raflways, with the exception of a comparative steadiness in Southern stocks, the result of this weck’s | transactions has been a considerable and gencral | decline the freight lines being on the average 1 per cent down ali round. . Notwithstanding the risedn tfi¢ baok rateand | the politteal excitement in France, consolsshow | for the week scarcely & quotoble decline. H In forefen government securities the advance ; in the value of money has been followed by an increase in the sapply of stock coming an the | ‘market for delivery. The older Russian issues seemn to havefallen in market value in 2 manner ‘which seems to snow that something has occar- : red to draw those stocks upon the market. IN PRANCE current investments appear to have at Iast stop- ° ped, partly, no doubt, because there is compar- * atively little money accumulating. There Lave also been sales which seem to have beem - prompted by political motives. 5 Prices have this week declined generally in | the foreign market, owing at first to the lighter money market, next to the Gambetta incident, : and then to the advance in the bank rate on ‘Tuesdsy. On Wednesday the demand for stock - for delivery in some degree steadied prices, but there has been no complete recovery. : The decline is 1 per cent upon most Russisn stocks and 3{ per cent on Egyptian, French, and . Italian. Rentes are depressed. ‘The Standard in its financial article says, with respect to the elux of gold for New York which +was thought probabie: * We learn that thers are no orders in the market for that quarter, and it is believed that the exchange between New York and this country will be balanced by the export of bonds without the necessity of sending gold.
