NEWS FROM EUROPE.
WORCES TER:
THURSDAY, APRIL 80. 1916.



The Steamer Great Western, Capt. Hosken, IL
days from Liverpool arrived at New York about
quarter past l, on Tuesday Her news is OF lit
tie importance Parliament adjourned for the
holidays, and there had consequently been no DIS
cusson of the Oregon Question
The Cotton Market was rather frmer. Iron
was on the decline
THE OREGON QUESTION.
Wilmer and Smiths European Times says that
the article in the last number OF the Quarterly
Review, on the subject OF Oregon, is beginning
to attract attention, now that the hubbub, arising
out of the Indian victories is fast subsding The
gist of the article is to promote compromise, and
the reviewer would be content with the 49th par
allel.
The arrival at Havre with New-York papers
d the 18th ult, brings the debates in Congress on
this subject, three weeks later than the previous
packet The ultra Oregon men appear to be los
ing ground, and the general feeling of the coun-
try, as well as OF Congress, leaves little to appre
bend now for belligerent results
Indeed, it is generally believed here that the
dispute is virtually settled We sincerely hope
tiat this Is not an assumption, buta fact
In various parts Of the country large numbers
of operatives have struck for an advance of wages
The masters and the men thus at loggerheads.
Neither will give way, and the retail trade IN
many branches has been seriously injured by the
capital thus withdrawn from the usual channels
of circulation. But this even cannot, in the ma
ture of things be enduring
The British Corn trade continues dull, and pric-
es are IS. per quarter lower than at the beginning
OF the year. variety of causes will account
for the stagnation. The uncertainty which xists
about the future is main element, and no won
der, when ii is reflected that the passing of the
Cora bill before Parliament will at once reduce
the duty from lbs to As. Again, the midness OF
the weather has checked the demand for bread
stuffs.
A low temperature always increases the con-
sumption OF food And finally, the growth of
vegetables, from the same cause, has been proli-
fc, and superseded, to considerable extent, the
use of wheaton bread These combined causes
have kept down the price of flour, and will con-
tinue to depress the market until all uncertainty
about the future ceases
We have noticed on more than one occasion re-
Gently, the high estimation in which Indian corn,
an article OF food, has risen this side of the
Atlantic. Sir Robert Peel, on Wednesday even
ins, corroborated our statement. In Ireland it is
fast superseding the watery potato, and the Pre-.
mier expressed praiseworthy feeling of pride al
finding the people Of that country preferring wha
he .sily styles g a better and more generous de.
scrption OF food
Under such auspices, the consumption of Indi
an Corn throughout Great Britain cannot fail t.
be carried to a much greater extent. The excel
lent to which it is turned as an article of die.
tary in the United States is now tolerably familiar
to European at all events to British ears.
As regards Ireland, this result is mainly attrib-
utable to Father Mathew, for whom appears to
be reserved the honor not only of curing ma.
tonal distemper-a tondness for whisky, but
what is scarcely of less consequence-fa miI,arz-
ing his countrymen with the OF healthy
and economical article of food.
