Reaction Of n European War on Our Conn
mexclnl Interests.

mcxcial Interests.
The effects of European convulsion on the
commercial interests of this country are already
foreshadowed in the news which reaches us from
the other side. No sooner is it made certain
that war is unavoidable than there is a heavy
decline in foreign stocks and on cotton, whilst
on breadstuffs and provisions there is CORES.
pouding advance. The advices received yester-
day by the Anglo-Saxon show that the move
ment which has set in, in both these directions,
is likely, in the course of a few weeks to reach
an extreme point. War, in the outset, exercises
either marked depressing or stimulating iufu-
epce on the securities and commodities affected
by it; and it is not until the public mind be-
comes accustomed to the contemplation of its
consequences that anything like steadiness can
be again attained. Until this normal condition
Of things be reached, of course speculation will
be active to profit by the opportunities which
these fluctuations will throw 10 its way. Out of
the numerous interests that will either directly
or indirectly feel its influence, there are but few
in regard to which, at this early stage of the
complication, any positive calculation can be
made. We can only generslize as to results !;
but these, on the whole, we think, will not be
fonnd TO bear unfavorably on our own business
prospects.
One Of the first effects Of the war will undoubt-
eddy be to create such stagnation in manufac.
turing industry abroad as to diminish the demand
for cur cotton to an extent which can only be
determined by the circumstances under which
hostilities are entered upon and their probable
duration. If it is to be struggle such as Lord
Derby and English statesmen generally antici-
pate, then we may calculate that for long time
to come the agricultural interests of the South will
be severely affected. But as there is no evil with
cut its compensatng good, the effect Of this check
win probably be to deyelope our own cotton ma
nuisctures, and to thus eventually render us indie
pendent Of foreign consumption. In our import
trade there will also be some disturbing inau-
ences at work, The necessity that foreign maui
facturers will be placed under Of realizing their
stocks at almost any sacrifice, will for time
food the market with cheap goods. The large
importing houses which have already disposed of
their spring aud GUNNER purchases will not feel
the ipGuet ce OF the competition, but it must
burt the retailers Its effects, however, will be
only temporary so far US French manufactures
gre concerned, and, as regards German goods,
those who cboose TO hold on to their stocks will
lose only the interest of their money. A block
ade Of the German ports by France, if tue war
extends beyond Italy, which will be one of the
immediate necessities Of q general war, will CT
fsclunlly put SOP 10 any further importations

Against these inconvenieuces, such MS they
are we have to balance mauy encouraging aud
cheering circumstances. 1.-THE South is to suffer
for season, the West, which has had its period
Of ordeal, will benefit by the Influences which
produce tba, suffering. Its hreadStufls and pro-
visions, which for the last few Seasons could not
fud market, will become at once SO enhanced
in value as not only to repay its farmers for past
losses, but make them rich. TIE Southern
planters can Eve for while on their profits of
the last few years, whilst but for this godsend
Of war the Western farmers would have been
stiI condemned to proftiess struggle, literally
starving in the midst of abundance It is iul-
possible to predict the extent to which
Europe may become dependent upon us for
come. II, as there is reason to believe, the
war becomes general, vast numbers of pro
ducing hands will DO Withdrawn from agricul-
tural pursuits, and to us the belligerents will
have TO look for large proportion of their food
supply. The result will necessarily be to seud
TO this country, from this source alone, an im-
mense amount Of foreign capital, which will
more than compensate us for the falling off in
the consumption of cotton.
Thus we see that in commercial point Of
view the results with which we are threatened
by this European convulsion are not Of very
alarming or discouraging character. Finan-
cially speaking, we do not see that we have any
greater causes to fear them. In proportion as
foreign securities become depressed it is certain
that our own securities will become enhanced in
value. Capital abroad, under the influence Of
the long continued stagnation by which it is
menaced, must seek new and safer channels Of
investment, and these can only be found here.
We have therefore, between the revenue arising
from the additional importations which will
be thrust upon our markets, and the increased
value given to our government securities,
a fair prospect of being placed in posi-
ton not only to discharge the arrears which
Congress failed to provide for last session, but to
wipe out the public debt itself Thus, whilst the
European nations are compelled to increase the
heavy burdens under which they are already
staggering, we shall be free from obligation ia
regard to all the world, and at leisure to give
full Development to those grand schemes Of i'm
pIovement which are necessary to complete and
fortify our chain of communication between the
remote points Of our vast empire.
If these deductions be based on correct pre-
mises- and to all appearance they are-tbe war in
Europe will not only not ipjure seriously any of
our interests, but ultimately benefit the whole.
1t will give us the means Of paying of our debts,
place capital and customers within the reach Of
our manufacturers, enrich our farmers, furnish
their wives with cheap crinolines and laces, and
give us good time generally, until the plethora
induced by such comfortable state Of things
calls for the correction Of another panic.
