ANGLO.JAPANESE ALLIANCE.
The Nichi Nicbi, of Toxic, Says Ja-
pan Has u Right to Call Upon
Great Britain.

Toxic, May 1.-THE Nichi Nichi,
discussing French neutrality, says that
Japan has a right a demand of Great
Britain that she carry into practice
the provisions of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. French duplicity," the Nj
Chi Nichi says, affords the OCCASION"
Continuing, the Nichi Nichi de-
clares that the assistance given Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky is a clear breach
Of neutrality and a violation of a def
mite pledge given to Japan.
The Nichi Nichi says further:
Japan is justified in assuming that
France is deliberately assisting Russia.
Frances position as Russia's ally is
entitled to some sympathy, but after
France gave a definite pledge nothing
remains to eXonerate France from the
charge of duplicity.
Japan never suspected that the
French Republic would be guilty of
double dealing. The prestige of France
as a champion of civilization demands
that she correct her attitude and 0
crate herself of the charge of b%aseness."
In conclusion the Nichi Nichi says:
Let France either publicly range
herself on the side of Russia or man
fully adhere to the principle of strict
neutrality"

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
fered With the Movement OF
Goods-PIanting Retarded.

New York, May 13.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Wholesale trade for fall delivery has
been stimulated by good pubic and
private reports as to winter wheat, but
heavy rains and continuously cool
weather have iDterfered with retail
trade, except in a few sections, ana UNI
questionably retarded corn and cstton
planting, which appears TO be one to
two weeks late. Spring wheat sead-
ing, however, has been finished. ard
the increased acreage. helped by abun-
dant moisture has had a 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 tae re-
ceipts of additional good orders for
rails and structural material. Tae
building trades, as heretofore, offer en-
immense outlet for lumber, hardware
and building materials generally.
