begged for secrecy; license was not to

As the time drew near, Jason found
himself looking forward to the new life
with considerable distaste; but being
man Of honor, he entertained no thought
Of breaking the compact.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Enormous Speculation In Stocks = Warn
Weather Helping Corn and Cotton
Wheat Generally In Good Condition.

New York, May 4.-Bradstreet's
says: The sanguine feeling as to
trade and speculation finds reflection
in the enormous activity and stock
speculation which has attracted much
money from the usual commercial
channels and expanded clearings to
unheard Of totals. Warm, sunny
weather is helping retail trade in the
cities, and is likewise affording the
farmers sorable opportunity to
complete crop planting. General bust
ness, the country over, may be classed
as satisfactory. The iron and steel
trades, though reporting somewhat
of lull in the cruder forms, continue
to furnish the best reports, while the
textile industries return the least "a
vorable accounts.
The crop situation at present il
quite encouraging. Warm, sunny
weather is helping corn and cotton,
and wheat maintains generally
good condition, notwithstanding re-
ports of damage by insects in the
southwest. Cotton crop advces are
fairly good, and an increase in acre.
age is still foreshadowed, despite
much replanting having been neces-
sary in Alabama, Georgia and in Ten
nessee, where the scarcity Of seed for
the purpose is remarked. Grain
planting is almost finished in the
northwest, and liberal rains in Cali
fornia have helped the situation
there. Rains are, however, needed in
Nebraska.
