COMMERCE IN FRANCE.

Our Pais correspondent, writing yesterday, says:
With regard to the movement of trade, the present move-
ment is one of preparation rather than active bushman. All
the (neat manufactories and "hops are getting themselves in
',iodine's against the autumn and winter, when an extravr-
dinary animation is expected to reign In all departments.
At present the relief to the usual flatness of August consists
principally in the purchases of people setting out fur the
vacation, sod of visitors by the great pleasure train'. Three
promise to effect quite a commercial revolution in favour of
the capital ; for a provincial pin de fansifle will naturally
avail himself of the occasion of then five-franc excursions to
Paris to lay in a supply of all ejecta which eon be pur-
chased cheerer and better In the capital. Hence the trades-
people of the country towns regard with much jealousy
and dissatisfaction the monster trains, freighted with their
runaway customers. 04 the other hand, the only branches
of trade in the provinces benefited by the crowds from Paris
which pour down by the tame conveyanee, are those of
the pastrysonks, vintners, and innkeepen.
The greet London Exhibition hes given rise to animated
debates in the mann'acturing circle, of Paris. Many dwell
on the new advantages which England will draw from fa.
reign products, in order to repair her deficiencies on points
when she is now beaten by foreigners. The supetb silks of
Lyons, the rich, fanciful brooms and object' of art in Paris,
fear no competition, and a greet impulse to these branches of
commena is expected to result from the opportunity of
denting the Briton with such articles of luxury. The body
of mesufseturen, who held a preparatory meeting on July
24, at the "Conservatoire des Arts-et.Metien." has taken
the title of" IJaion of Parisian Industry for the Universal
Exhibition," and the board wet again yesterday to 'gamily
the industrial nations, and name delegates to prepare, in
nuns with tam board, a joist imposition of the "peal
brassies.

The reports which promised an abundant harvest appear
to be signally belied. blest of the departments send in very
disappointing amounts of t►e crops. In missy localities the

quotation of BOUT at the Belie to rice to 28,r. 75c. ; but later
accounts having prved that the harvest will be abundant
enough to avert very higb.prices, the sours@ fell again to
Tnr. 61c.
