CAUSES CHECK TO TRADN y
The General Outlook, Howsver, II
Observation-Disclosures Ac-
tivity Is Unabated.

New York, May 6.-R. g. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says,
Weather Irregularities provided the
only check to business, partly through
the direct effect on retail distribution
OF seasonable wearing apparel, but
more through the development Of eau
ton among traders in some agricul-
tural sections where crops have been
damaged or farm work retarded. On
the whole, however, encouraging prog
ress is shown in most trade reports,
and industrial activity is undated.
Aside from the Chicago strike, there Is
exceptionally light friction between
capital and labor, many higher wage
scales going into effect this week. Traf-
fic returns are we'll maintained, rail-
way earnings for April exceeding last
years by 1915 per cent. and lake nayi-
cation Is heavy. Foreign commerce at
this port alone for the last week shows
a gain of $3,159,534 in value of mer-
chandise imports over the same week
in 1904, while exports increased 81 1861

Failures this week in the United
States are PIP, against 204 last week,
204 the preceding week, and 2O7 the
corresponding week last year. Failures

Bradstreet's says: What might be
termed breathing spell is being taken
in numerous lines Of trade and in
dustry. pending the advent of settled
weather, clearer views of crop out-turn
and the settlement of the Chicago
strike. Heavy rains or cool weather
have retarded corn and cotton crop
preparations and retail trade, but have
rather favored winter wheat, which

son to believe that the Japanese took up
position In the straits of Sunda,
through which Nebogatoff originally in
tended to make the passage into
the North sea. There is also reason to
believe that Nebogatoff first approached
the straits Of Sunda, but finding them
too well guarded put about and headed
north for the straits Of Malacca, his di-
vision lacking the protection of fast
cruisers and being at great disadvan-

Japs in Dutch Waters.
Paris, May ga dispatch to the

says Admiral Rojestvensky has in.
formed the Russian admiralty OF the
presence Of Japanese warships in the
territorial waters Of the Dutch por-
ton OF the island of Borneo. II the
report 10 verified, 1t is added. Russia
will protest to the Netherlands govern
ment.
1t is impossible to ascertain whether
Russia will protest to the government
of the Netherlands against the reported
presence OF Japanese warships in neu
trail waters of Dutch Borneo. The adj
miralty has information to the effect
that Japanese cruisers are watching
the Straits OF Sunda, lying In wait for
Admiral Nsbogatoff, and 1t is possible
that they made use of the waters OF
Dutch Borneo.
Tension Is Intense.
London, May 6. - That the tension
between Japan and France, already in
tense, is nearing the breaking point, Is
indicated by diplomatic advices received
here Friday afternoon. While the
squadron Of Vice Admiral Nebogatoff is
sailing north from Singapore to meet
the feet Of Admiral Rojestvensky, the
latter is cruising off the coast of French
Indo-China, probably within the three.
mile limit at times.
1t is regarded as certain at the war
Office that the Russian commander Is
coaling his ships In French ports now,
as he did previously in Kamranh bay.
While no ofacial confirmation of the
report can be obtained, 1t is rumored
persistently that the mikado has made
protest to Great Britain regarding the
action Of France, and that this protes!
will be conveyed Immediately to Presi.
dent Loubet.
The calculations of naval experts arr
upset to some extent by the news that
Nebogatoff still is far from Rojestven,
sky, and the battle, which probably will
take place OF Formosa, will not come
q soon as was expected unless Togo at.
tacks before the Russian fleets arc
