Cars Minister for Peace.

While Emperor Nicholas, whose
word is final. still declines to abandon
the prosecution of the war and the
government maintains its ability to
continue the conflict, The Associated
Press states that powerful influences,
including several Of the emperor's own
ministers, are now strongly urging that
the time has come to indicate to Japan
Russia's desire for peace upon a rea-
sonable basis.
Should Japan then attempt to impose
too onerous conditions, these infiu-
ences argue that, in view of the uni
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended, Russia's position will be
strengthened abroad by the alienation
of sympathy from Japan, and the sit
uation at home improved when the
nation is made to understand that the
emperors pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperor's ministers in
conversation with The Associated
Press correspondent said:
1--WE have suffered bitter defeat on
land and sea. We can, however, still
continue the war. But both countries
have suffered great losses in blood
and treasure, and it would only profit
the rivals Of both were we to fight
on until one or the other is exhausted"
what would be Russia's attitude
on the subject of indemnify"
Russia never yet has paid indemn-
ity and history practically affords no
precedent for indemnity when terri
tory is not occupied to insure payment
and Japan holds not foot Of Russian
territory Japan could, however, take
the proceeds of the sale of property
and rights of the Chinese Eastern rail
way, which was built with Russian
money"

The weekly review Of
Chicago trade, published
by r. @. Dun & Co., SAYS:
Chicago.

10
Trade currents perceptibiy swelled
and have moved smoothly, due mainly
to the encouraging opening up of the
spring season of activity and undis-
turbed confidence in the outlook. New
demands for raw material and finished
products were satisfactorily main
tanned. Distribution of commodities
advanced to greater proportions, the
movement Of general merchandise,
grain, hides and lumber exceeding both
the previous week and a year ago, and
railroad earnings are seen to be larger
on enormous tonnage.
Reports indicate excellent position
of winter crops and farm work max
ing excellent progress. Marketing of
corn, oats and live stock is yet with
out diminution, and the agricultural
interests realizing profitably, now be-
come liberal buyers of necessaries, i'm
plements and materials for improve
ments.
Dealings in the primary markets
have been fairly active and without
much change in values, but foreign
demand for foodstuffs continued mod
crate.
Retail trade steadily gained with the
milder weather and seasonable mer-
chandise sold freely, while Easter lines
were in good request
Receipts of lumber were 34,352, 900
feet, against 30,9S4,0O0 feet last week
and 23,73S,O00 feet a year ago. Local
consumption shows sharp increase
for both building and manufacturing
purposes, and heavy advance sales
were made of stone, brick and cement
Jobbing trade in principal staples
was largely augmented, interior mer-
chants having arrived in large num-
bers, and the buying of spring wares
reached heavy aggregate in general
dry goods, clothing, shoes and cotton
fabrics.
Board of trade dealings were of fair
extent in the coarse grains and pro-
visions. Receipts of the leading cereals
aggregated 6,4O1,S76 bushels, against
6,472,S40 bushels last week and 4,0S1,-
77S bushels a year ago. The ship
ments were 3,465,26 bushels, gain
of 25.4 per cent. Receipts of live stock,
252. 4O2 head, compared with 296,17
head year ago.
Bank clearings, SITS, $50, 296, exceed
those of the corresponding week last
year by 1919 per cent. The demand for
money exhibits further strength, and
new commercial loans were quoted un-
der 4 to per cent.

trict numbered "a, against % last

WAR DURING A WEEK,
SCREEN is DRAWN OVER MILL.
TARY OPERATIONS.
Dispatches OF Past Week Show No New
Light ON the Conflict in the Far East
Remnants of Russia's Routed Army
in Full Retreat.

The week, which opened with the
Russian army in full retreat from
Mukden, closed with its fate in doubt
Kuropatkin's divisions that had es-
capped death or capture arrived at Tie
ling, where reserve supplies and for
titled position awaited them. Then the
Russian army was driven out of Tie
ling. The remaining stores were burn
ed, many guns abandoned, and the re-
treat resumed.
st. Petersburg, naturally, was filled
with alarming rumors. 1t was report
ed that the railroad had been cut at
Changtufu, 40 miles north of Telling;
that there were strong Japanese col
umns east and west of the railroad
even farther to the north; that the
Russian forces had been driven into
the hills east of the railroad and were
trying to reach Kirin or Vladivostock;
that they were without food, ammuni-
ton, and artillery. There were no
dispatches. official or otherwise, to con-
firm or deny these sensational reports
The weeks dispatches added a few
details to the sum of Russia's disaster
at Mukden. The war office at Toxic
estimated the Russian force engaged IL
the battle of Mukden at $40 battalions
Of infantry, 17S squadrons of cavalry,
III batteries of artillery, or a total
Of $4,000 men and 1868 guns.
Field Marshal Oyama reported the
capture of 10000 prisoners. His ar
mics counted 26,5O0 dead. He esti-
mated the Russian wounded at 64.5OO.
This total of 10000 casualties reduced
the effective Russian force to 1880
men-all that got safely through to
Telling. st. Petersburg reports cred
tied Linevitch-who succeeded Kuro-
patkin-with 26S.O0O men, the figures
being achieved by including the rail-
way guards and the Fourth army
corps, which had just arrived at Har-
bin. This force of 26S,O COO men. badly
equipped, short of supplies. was re-
treating before force of perhaps fully
double its strength.
AT council of war held at Tsarskoe
Selo it was resolved to send new
army of 100000 men to the far East
to continue the war. General Kuro-
patkin was recalled, practically in dis
grace, and General Linevitch placed
in command. The war party appar-
emily is still in power at st. Peters
burg.
There are disturbing indications that
Russia's credit is reaching limit. The
refusal of the French syndicate to con-
tract for fresh loan of $125,OOO. 900
has caused uneasiness in st. Peters
burg. At Paris it is stated vaguely
that the loan has only been postponed
In st. Petersburg it is insisted the loan
will be made within ten days. The
proposal of the Russian Minister of FL
nance that the banks of St Petersburg
float an internal loan of 100000 900
has not been we'll received. Still, it
would be foolish to assume that Rus
STA has reached the limit of her re-
sources. The fact that her gold re-
serve still stands 1T $674.5OO, 900 proves
that the Cars empire is not penni-
less.
