Since the detection in April 2003 of a new outburst of the black hole candidate SLX 1746-331 (ATEL #143, #144, and #145), the RXTE/PCA has been monitoring the source every 3-4 days. Currently, a total of 65 ksec of data has been obtained. The source has decreased slowly in flux (3-25 keV; unabsorbed) from 5.4E-9 ergs/s/cm^2 on April 28 to 2.0E-10 ergs/s/cm^2 on July 22. The latest observation, taken on July 26, shows an increase in the flux to 3.6E-10 ergs/s/cm^2.
