PLOT TO KILL THE CZAR.

The st. Petersburg correspondent OF

nicipality erects a grandstand tickets
to which are sold publicly, the names

CONDITIONS REPORTED SOUND.
Crop situation Greatly Benefited by
Warmer Weather--Winter Wheat
Showinu Up Well.

Special dispatches to the Interna-
tional Mercantile Agency describe a
general trade revival at prominent
western and southwestern centers.
The stimulus Is noteworthy In con
trast with conditions existing during
the previous month, and has Its basis
In more seasonable weather and In.
creased orders for spring stocks.
Jobblng centers report material adj.
ditlon to the volume OF Restocking
business" with tendency among
many mrchants TO duplicate orders
previously given for spring goods.
Drygoods have been particularly ac-
tive. with a healthy demand for both
spring and fall stocks. Clothing
lines are also rejecting Improvement,
which 1s especially evidenced through
out the southwest. Boots and shoes
are more active, with strong inquiry
for the better qualities.
Heavyweight goods have been con-
sumed In such quantities as to exhaust
supplies Of "carried-over stock" to the
lowest volume in years. This has
placed dealers in a specially strong
position to handle seasonable goods,
which they are doing profltably and
expedltiously, owing to the general
milder weather.
While improvement has been note
worthy, however, It Is doubtful wheth.
er the present thrush of orders will be
sufficient to make good the March and
April deficiencies. People generally
seem TO be we'll supplied with money
and, while cautious about engaging
in new enterprises. are not backward
about securing goods they really need
Everywhere underlying conditions are
reported sound.
The crop situation has been greatly
benefited by the warmer weather
which has advanced wheat In sections
where backward spring did great dam
age. Although wheat suffered serious
injury by the setback encountered dur
ing the recent cold snap, fair sized
crop can be counted on II normal con
ditlons prevail. Most grains will b'
harvested two or three weeks latel
than usual, although 1t Is quite pos
sible that the next government repor'
will describe a generally better condi
tion than was shown by the last fig
ures. Winter wheat is showing up par
ticularly well in some sections. Seed
ing in the Red river valley district haI
been retarded by unfavorable weather
SO that the crop outlook in that sec
/ ton Is problematlcal. Elsewher'
