coNsIDERATIoN FOR cHINKs.

London. May 10.-A correspondent of the Times at TOllio says it appears that the capture of Feng Wang Cheng was effected not by the troops, which fought on the Yalu, but by a mixed brigade under Major General Sasaki which. marching eastward on April 20. crossed the Yaiu at Cheng Seng and moved on Feng Wang Cheng by a mountain road.
 The correspondent says that General Kuroki has issued general orders re- minding the troops that-they were not fighting against the Chinese but against the Russians and insisting on the ut most consideration of the Chinese. who have been reduced to a Ditiable con dition by the presence of the Rcss,G n forces and are now obliged to endure the passage of a Japanese army.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post under date of May 10, says the Japanese army is advancing in three divisions. the first from Feng Wang Cheng towards Liao Yang. the second from Poladien and Chuchon to YunG YaO Cheng, and the third from Sulien Cheng to Kuliensin with the oO- ject of seveTing communication with Liao Yang. where only small prepard- tions for defense have been made.

EX- ceIlent weather conditions throughout the entire country, however, started some selling by scalpers. In anticipa- tion of the monthly crop report many traders were disposed to postpone any but inconsequential transactions. The market soon assumed an easier tone. In addition to the pit traders a promi- nent operator was a moderate seller earlier in the day. Later the same in fiuertial trader came to the support of the market and caused rally in prices, July advancing to S67f. During the last hour of trading weakness again set in, the influence being the weather bureaus weekly summary of crop con- ditions and the Illinois state report. The market was without support and closed at about the lowest point of the day After selling at S55sqS6, July closed at S6.

PURE SPECULATION.
St. Petersburg Guessing at Japanese
 Plans.
st. Petersburg. Nav 10 (3.

St. Petersburg. May 10. (3:06 D. m.) The suggestion of another Japanese debarkation is generally discredited. X force acting independently is believed to be attached to General Kurokis army. Whether or not 'any army was landing, the fact is impressed that he Japanese are placing southern Man churia absolutely under control before beginning a forward movement, thus guaranteeing against threatened Cos sack raids. Whether General Kuroli intends to move on Liao Yang ard Hai Cheng has not yet developed though action against the latter place docs not now appear so probable in view of the dispatch of force to Kunaginsin.
 Marching on Hai Cheng is not so important as it would have been had the Russians continued to occupy New ChWanS. Gen. kUroki in the view of an authority here undoubtedly is informed or the preparations for the evacua- ton of New Chwang and knows that the Russian force operating on che Liao Tung peninsula would promptly retire should he advance on Hai Cheng. In the light of these considerations he may detei'mine boldly to march to Liao Yang, either by the northern road or on the road by which the Russians retreated and along which he has sent scouting parties.
