COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS. I
Weather Conditions Have Inter- fcred With the Movement of
 GOOds-Planting Retarded.

New York. May 13-Bradstreet' weekly review says.
 Wholesale trade for fall delivery has been stimulated by good public and private reports as to winter wheat, but heavy rains and continuously cool weather have interfered with retail trade, except in few sections, and un- occasionally retarded corn and cotton planting. which appears to be one to two weeks late. Spring wheat seed ing, however, has been finished, and the increased acreage, helped by abun- dant moisture has had good start. The iron trade displays increased quiet in the cruder forms with price conces- sions offered. Buyers display a hold off tendency. Finished trade reports are good, because of large orders pre- vously booked and owing to the re- eeipts of additional good orders for rails and structural material. The building trades, as heretofore, offer an immense outlet for lumber, hardware and building materials generally.

R0J::STvENSKY TO RESIGN.
Health Impaired and a General Ner-
 sous Breakdown the Cause.

St. Petersburg. May 1S.-Very dis quieting reports are in circulation about Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's health It is said that he has tele- graphed to the emperor that 1t is i'm possible for him to proceed. An even ing paper prints a report that the ad- miral has suffered a nervous break down. No official confirmation of the report that Rojestvensky has request ed to be relieved from duty is obtain able at the admiralty Nevertheless the admirais health has been the cause of considerable anxiety. It is we'll known that he suffered from kidney trouble before leaving Cron- stad and through the long voyage to the far east he suffered at times to such an extent that he had to be car ried about on stfetcher. But the Russian commander stuck bravely to his post If he is now compelled to give up his command the admiralty will regard it as little short of naval misfortune.
 Should Rojestvensky be compelled to leave the fleet, the command will devolve on Rear Admiral Voelker- sham. who is now with Rojestvensky.
 It is said that orders have been is- sued for the fourth division of the fleet at Baltic ports to hold itself in readiness to leave for the far east by June IA without fail.

interstate cree Commission Makes an Important Decision Af- fecting Railroad Shipments in this State.
Interstate Commission Decision.


 The interstate commerce commis- sion at Washington, D. C., has just handed down a decision affecting this state. which is of much importance, and will affect practically every ship ment from points within Arkansas to points in Louisiana, Texas, Indian Territory and other adjoining states, as well as shipments into Arkansas from those states. The salient points and the determination of the commis- sion are as follows: In the case of the Hope Cotton Oil company against the Texas Pacific Railway company, the complainant desired to ship cotton seed in carloads from Louisiana sta tons to Hope, Ark, at the sum of the local rates based on Texarkana. which sum was less than the published through charges but the defendant refused to apply such local rates and also refused to allow the complainant to ship locally tc Iexarkana under the rate in force to that point The commission held that while the de- fendant was entitled to insist on the application of the through rate to the through shipment to Hope, it could not lawfully refuse to receive and car ry complainant's freight to Texarkana under it's local rate to that point, and that complainant is entitled to repara- ton for damages resulting from it's n a tn ch of seed to Hope which it had contracted for and desired to have transported over defendants line.
