LONDON, Tlday, Aug. IL, 1913.
The weather, though certainly finer during the
week, has been sufficiently unsettled at this critical
period of harvest, 10 cause some excitement in the
Corn market; but most articles of colonial and foreign
produce remain without improvement in value, export
demand having been again checked by the approach
ing Danish block ade Although the of political
affairs OF the Continent is very threatening, strong
hopes entertained that through the mediation OF
France and Great Britain, the existing differences
between Austria and Italy, well as those of Den
mark and the Duchics, may be settled amcaby; and
thus the horrors of general European may be
avcrtcd.
