In relation to the prospects of trade The European
Times says:

on the increase in various important branches OF manu-
features founded the expectation of peace and the
opening Of extended foreign markets-Japan, for ex-
ample. Bankers seem extremely unwilling TO encOur-
age speculative undertakings transactions-sti the
legitimate trade Of the country is ready to engage IN

Although the English funds opened with dulness
this morning at decline of an eighth they have ex-
perenced in the of the day recovery of more

highest point Of the day and la 2 cent better than

count encouraged By the progress made in the ar
engagements for the monthly settlement in the C0nso
market. The charge exacted from speculative buyers
for carrying over their purchases 70 the l4th March
has also Teceded today to a & cent. The prospeer
that arnistce viii be declared toward the end of
the present month and the hope that the approaching
Conferences wiz result in peace, continue TO indu
operations for rise vel "a bona ide invest nents.

been diminished by the recent sales Effected by parties
who purchased a few weeks back in. anticipation Of
the Czars acceptance Of the pEemir azes Of pea0e.
The settlement OF the account Ia COnso.s has led 20
the failure Of another jObber' n the Stock Ex-
change, but the amount involved j. not important.
