THE CROP OUTLOOK
The Weather and Temperature condi-
tions Have Generally Been Favorable
In tho Agricultural States and Good
Progress Has Been Made.

washington. May 1O.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions for the
week ending May 8 were favorable In
all districts, with the exception Of the
northern Pacific coast and middle
Rocky mountain region, where frosts
and freezing temperatures were injuri-
Gus. Heavy rains in portions Of the
lower Missouri and Red River of the
North valleys and in Texas retarded
work and caused damage by the wash
ing Of land but were of great benefit in
relieving the drought condition in
western Texas. The drought was also
relieved in portions of the south At
lantic and east gulf states. but contin-
ues over large part of these dis
tricts. and at the close of the week raiS
was generally needed in the middle AZ
lantic states.
The states Of the Ohio valley and
lake region experienced week of
highly favorable conditions. Corn
planting is now in operation under
very favorable conditions thruout the
northern portion of the corn belt. In
Nebraska. Kansas and northern Mis-
souri,. however. planting has been in,
terrupted by ran. In Iowa this work
has made good progress and 1t is like
ly the bulk of the crop in that state
will be planted earlier than in recent
years.
General Improvement In the condi-
ton of winter wheat is indicated, espec-
cially over the western portions of the
winter wheat belt and in the middle
Atlantic states. but the outlook for the
crop in the states of the Ohio valley
continues very poor.
Spring wheat seeding is largely f1n-
ished. except on the wet lands in the
northern portion of North Dakota and
Minnesota, but early sown over the
southern portion of the spring wheat
region is making good growth.
Early sown oats are generally i'm
proved and in promising condition. ex-
cept in the south Atlantic and east gulf
states. where the outlook is very poor.

ton of this report and explains with
f1rawal Of the Japanese from the rail-
road as being either due to pressure
from Stoessel or to forces left by kuro-
patkin at Katping and other points
on the railroad.
While without definite information
the impression here is strong that
the Japanese force landed at Pitsewo
was overestimated, and that either IT
was not strong enough to take charge
OF the railroad or it moved eastward
along the Littoral to effect Junction
with the Yalu army.
The emperor received the news or
+he re-opening of communication with
Port Arthur last night and seemed
greatly pleased. He had message
from Port Arthur an hour before by
pigeou post via Lao Yang, reporting
all we'll at the fortress.
As Stoessel has not reported IN
yestment of Port Talny the reports
from abroad of it's capture by Japanese
are now disbelieved by the general
staff. The admiralty heard today frorn
Vladivostok Rear Admiral Jessen's
squadron is there and reports all we'll.
Russia has protested to the powers
sianatory OF The Hague and Geneva
conventions, against the action OF the
Japanese in firing on a Red Cross train
from Port Arthur May 6, when OF 20D
sick and wounded on the cars two were
struck by Japanese bullets. The gen
eral staff is authority for the state
ment that the health of the Russian
troops is exceptionally good, consider
ing the filthy Chinese novels along
the line of march which it was some
times impossible to keep the men from
entering. The total of cases in the
hospitals does not exceed per cent
of the Russian forces. The condition
OF Mukden is no worse than other
placess
Shan Hal Kwan, May lot is re-
ported the first Japanese army corps
having followed the Russians re-
treating from the Yalu river, overlook
them twenty miles south of Lao Yang
yesterday and severe engagements en-
sued. The Japanese dragged their
guns up hills believed to be unsur-
mountable. The Russians thereupon
continued to retreat north. A division
OF the first corps is approaching New
Chwang, which is now garrisoned by
d handful Of Russians. Japanese
scouts have been seen six miles from
80 W Chwang.
Ninsteen women were the last civil
ians to leave New Chwang for Shan
Hal Kwan. They arrived here to-
night and confirmed the reports of the
evacuation of New Chwang.

ST. Petersburg, May 10.-A semi-of-
fetal dispatch from Mukden dated to-
day. denies the report that the Japan
ese have captured Port Dalny.
The army organ assumes that the
Russians are retiring on Lao Yang,
tleaving temporarily" the defense OF
Port Arthur to the naval squadron ana
garrison. The organ also assumes that
the Japanese have already landed at
Taku Shan. west of the Yalu river.
thus assuring a junction between Gem
eral Kurokis army and the Japanese
forces on the peninsula. The organ
thinks the force disembarked at Taku
shan is probably part of the third army
concerning the mobilization OF which
the Japanese have so sedulously spread
misleading reports" 1t commends the
retirement from Feng Wang Cheng,
which 1t considers to be Of no strate-
gical Importance. The report OF the
appearance of the enemy at Kwan Tien
Sien. on the Mukden road from the
Yalu, causes some disquietude. The
report is three days old. Only small
detachments OF infantry and cavalry
then t6peared but it Is possible they
were advanced skirmishers of Kuroki's $
fourth division. who We're sent north
ward to protect the Japanese right
flank If the Japanese could get on this
road above Lao Yang the Russion po-
sition there would be threatened. The
papers seem more concerned about the
effect of the Japanese successes upon
the Chinese than about the ultimate re-
suit of the campaign.
Altho it Is partly credited here Gas it
is known that Kuropatkin is withdraw
ing his advance posts along the Man
churian- Littoral on Lao Yang) it is
announced this morning from Mukden
that the railroad between Port Arthur
and Liao Yang has been repaired and
is working.

remains at New Chwang. but the aban-

a complete absence of official informa-
tion.
According to information received by
the general staff the bridge blown up
by the Japanese near Port Adams.

YEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKE1
A Moderate Recovory-soberer View of
 War Crisis.

 War cr.sss.
 New York, Jan. 7.--To-days stock market reflected more sober view of the conditions growing out of the war crisis in the far east, and the result was moderate recovery from the fall of yesterday. War news continued something of factor in all of the spec ulative markets, and wheat rose and cotton fell in response. The days mar ket here was sluggish and listless. The standard stocks moved very narrowly and did not maintain the positions re- f1ecting the shifting operations of pro- fessional traders seeking merely to fol- low prices.
 There were wider movements in a collection of minor stocks. United States Steel preferred was firm until the closing dealings, when it's gain, which had reached x, melted away, with a reaction in the whole list. The buying of United States Steel preferred was attributed to banking interests as- sociated with the corporation and was believed to be for purposes of support.
 
 no explanation of the firmness of the stock. Something was made of the ar- gument that the selling of the steel stocks has already discounted the con- dition of greatest depression and that economies from wage reductions are to be felt from this time. The advances in specialties were without explanation, beyond reiteration of former rumors of the destined purchase of control of Chicago and Alton and its share in a combination of minor railroads. Amal- gamated Copper showed temporary | firnness in face of the heaviness of the general market, and then weakened de- cidedly, presumably on account of the reports of a judicial holding on a minor | point in one of the company's numerous l litigations. The stock scored loss on | the day of %.
 Money continued to work decidedly easier for all kinds of loans, time funds being offered in abundance at AZ per cent, except where large proportions of industrial collateral were sought to be included. This removed any obstruc- | tion to the advance in, sterling ex- l change, while the advance in discount rates in London helped to lift sterling. The Banks of England and of France exhibited large repayments of loans and I the English institution gainedssin gold on the return from domestic channels. I The Bank of France, however, showed
