FURTHER FOREIGN EXTRACTS.
We select from the late European journals
some additional items of news, which will pro-
pably be of interest to our readers. There
appears to be great suffering, in consequence
of the want of employment and the scarcity of
the means of subsistence, in various sections of
Europe, as some of the subjoihed extracts will
show
An article in London paper announces that
there are 1000 tailors out of employ in Lon
don. A private letter informs US the knights
of the needle had meeting in st. Martins
lane, and it was resolved, that the only mode
of lessening the distress was to embark for Ca
NADIA and the U. States. A committee was
appointed to collect subscriptions to pay the
passage of those who were willing to embark;
$50 entered their names for Canada and Nova
Scotia, and 1904 for New York and the U,
States. The great Tailor Society IN London
contributed 600 pounds, and it was believed the
taors of London would subscribe 1900 ounds
more. Three pounds ten shillings will pro-
cure passage ticket. They will all be here
in March or April.
From many sources we are led to conclude
that the apprehensions of famine have been too
highly colored. The truth is, that the famine
has been overdone. There is much selHshness
in it, The price of provisions las risen far be-
yond the legitimate value, whether estimated
bv the stocks on hand, or by the state Of other
countries. There is SO much superhuous mo-
new in England, that capitalists are always
morbidly alive to every project for increasing
it. The food market is a better field for spe-
culaton this year than the share market proved
last year, and the consequence is, that cuPiditY
speculates and prices rise.
A movement is being made TO reduce the

One of the London "Prices Current" of Oct.
eth, has the following remarks on the Corn
trade:-"Our readers will be gratfed to learn
that at the Mark Lane, yesterday, the demand
for wheat was dull, with an evident downward
tendency in price; and we find it to be the opin-
ion of many of the most eminent and intelli-
gent men in the city that an important fall
will soon take place in this most important ar
fiele of food. The grounds upon which they
have formed this opinion are, lst-1hat the
wheat crop IN this country was this year fair
average; 2d-The enormous quantities OF wheat
and -four which were liberated from bond i'm
medatey preceding the harvest being, accord
ing TO official returns from 9Th January to 5th
September last, 2,905, 252 quarters; and 3dly-
upon the large quantities Of flour, wheat and
Indian corn in the course of shipment from
America to this country, and which will be
continued, it is believed to an unprecedented
extent, in the expectation that prices will at
all events be upon high range in this country
until next harvest
