Soldiers of Italy-thc recollection Of

Extract Of letter from respectable houfe, da-
/. ted Liibon, Feb. "a, 1906, to neEchant in
Philadelphia.
From Naples we learn that 600 moy. or
upwards of 100000 bufhels of wheat and dou-
bic the quantity of barley have been bought up
BY our government. This fuPply was totally
unexpected, as the heavy duty prevented the
private merchants from adyenturing.
From Malaga under date of the 2oth January,
they write---'. This place Affords no encourage,
meet whatever for remittance of American pro-.
duce Flour would not fetch more than s dol.
lars per barrel on;board."
From Gibraltar, on the I5sh Of January
:" We had lately the arrival of ve1el from N

From Corrunna they are fhippipg wheat TO

From England, yefel arrived three day,

The captain reports that they are in all nineteen

the prices were fill falling.
From France we, receive every pof, letters re.
quoting to know whether we cannot. encourage
them to lend wheat, the g.eateR check to their
doing 1t now IS the want Of yeaels and the imee.
aimerts which the war throws in their way, by
the danger of capture. Since the late events
