THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS.
NAPLES, Jan. 9.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius continues to be
serious. Lava is slowly accumulating in the direc-
tion of Torre del Greco. Shocks of earthquake
were distinctly felt during the last two nights.
The sismograph is still agitated.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Jan. 10.

The Presse of this morning says that, daring his
recent tour in this capital, General Ignatieff took
the opportunity of expressing himself to several
diplomatists in a peaceful sense as to the policy of
Russia on the Eastern question.
The same paper states that the British Consul at
Belgrade presented a note to the Servian Govern-
ment on the 26th December, recommending it to
maintain a pacific attitude.

It is alleged that the Austrian and Hungarian
delegates about to assemble shortly will have a
Red Book laid before them by the Government,
consisting of diplomatic documents dating from the
war of 1866, and including the latest negotiations
in the Eastern and Roman questions.
A rumour is current that Baron John, the War
Minister for the Empire, will resign his post prior
to the meeting of the delegates, for reasons con-
nected with the position of the defence of the
country.

MARKETS—(2 his Day.)

MARX LANE.

A very limited supply of English wheat, chiefly in poor
condition, was on sale in our market to-day. The demand
for all kinds was inactive, neverthelees Monday's advance
in the quotations was fully supported.
There was a fair inquiry for fine foreign wheats, at full
prices ; but inferior kinds were a slow sale, on former
terms. The show of samples was rather extensive.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at very high rates.
Fine barley was scarce and rather dearer. Grinding and
distilling sorts were firm.
Malt moved off slowly, but at full prices. The supply
was tolerably good.

The sale for oats ruled steady, at fully previous rates.
We have no change to notice in the values of either beans

or peas.

Both English and foreign flour was in moderate request,
on former terms. Seeds and cakes ruled about stationary.
