General Lyttlot on's division, on Thurs day, advanced under cover of the koples. Tho Roers tired a Creuzot and "Loup Tom." Tho British artillery was well sheltered in the action at daybreak and until late in tho afternoon, when a heavy rifle fire on both sides developed. The British infantry had advanced nlsiut a mile and a half, and a continu ous fire was kept up until after dark. The Boers snnck to their positions. Thf British artillery lire was irregular. A few salvoes were sent toward the thickly wooded spots and ravines, from which the Boer fire was heaviest. The Bis'i's sent shells into the head quarters baggage, close to the hospital, but no material damage wasdone. Gen eral Wynne was slightly wounded. The IJoer positions are Hot considered strong, with the exception of Grobler's Kloof. The hiils eastward are not so high, and cannot bo intrenched so well as the mountains, which the British have taken. Early on Friday a severe rifle fire waf resumed on the right aud front, from tho positions held over night, by both sides. The British naval gnus, howit zers, mountain and field batteries shelled the Eocr trenches incessantly. The Boers replied with two heavy guns, some of their shells bursting over the hospital. As a result the British wounded were removed. Duri'ig the afternoon the Fifth bri gade, he Iimiskilliugs and Dublins leading, began to advance up tho hills. In spite of the constant shelling, the Boers stood up in their trenches, aim ing dclils'rately down the hills. The infantry advance was further covered by parties, on the right and left, firing volleys. It was slow, the British taking advantage of every bit of natural cover. The Bihts on the crests of tho hills as well as from the trenches part of the way down p aired lead along the advancing line. At dark tho British infautry had reached within a few hundred yards of the first line of Boer trenches. MARCUS DALY A WITNESS.

PRICES ARE YIELDING. ! lun'( Itevlew Says It May IU llail For the Speculator, hot tioiMt For j the Country. New Yokk, Feb. 24. R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade issued to day said iu part: Prices in materials are yielding. If not the lx'st news possible for some speculators, it is the best that c add come for the country, since industrials could not long prosper withont reaction from the extreme prices caused by act ual or supixiscd scarcity of materials last year. Some help comes from new iron furnaces that have oix-ned or ap proach completion; some from the fam ine in India, which sends hither ship loads of hides; some from the much in creased flixks of sheep which have weathered the winter and mane from the oix'iiing of new iron, zinc and copper mini s. The causes are many, but the revision of quotations gives promise of greater adtivity in all the chief indus tries. The great iron industry has tx en em barrassed by prices for pig and billets, which were no longer sustained by the gradually yielding prices of products. Considerable transactions are now re ported at Philadelphia $1.00 to 1.50 jx-r ton below recent quo'ntions; at Pitts burg, 20,000 tons Bessemer have ls-en sold and 75,000 tons billets, both iron aud steel, being reported $1.00 ix-r ton lower. The new furnaces supplying foundry iron have been competing sharply at the east, and small sales of Bessemer luive been made for Pittsburg delivery at 40 to " cents lx'low previous quotations. Sheets arc strengthened there by the new combinations, though it docs not embrace some large works, but with this addition of fiOO.OOO tons yearly and its sales to the hoop and tinplate com panies, the National Steel has secured large and rich mines in Minnesota. Plates are still weak, as most consum ers are provided far ahead, but the Pa cific orders covers 2,000 tons, aud the Chicago and Northwestern has placed orders to the east for ifc5,(00 tons bridge work. Rail mills are full, but have taken a small contract for exMrt, and better business enables tinplate workf which have been idle to resume. At hist it is admitted that the wool quotations so long held are fully !1 cent." xir scoured jKmnd higher than prices iu large actual sales last week, and since, the decline covering grades between one-quarter blixxl and lower, which is in demand and scarce, and fine fleece graded XX and above. The explana tions are many; the fact is that when mills made enormous sales of heavy weight gixxls, aud then bought no wixil, the fable that their stocks were ex haused ceased to have force. In fine medium territory selling at 5S cents scoured, and other wixil down to tin low grades, the full is general, and Eng lish markets are also weaker. Gixxls ol fine grades have becuoK'Ucd with much less advance in price than was made in cheaixT grades, but cancellations con tinue numerous. Failures in three weeks have lx'en $7, 241,2:10, against f7,12!l,70 last year, and 7,2!):t,4:iit in ISilH, but in the previous years they exceeded 110,600,000.
