THE WAR AND THE DEMAND POR BREAD

as follows upon the probable demand CDou tnis

Among so 900 600 of people, the taking of COO 600
meu, that is one oat of $780, more less from or
binary occupations will have but little Influence
upon production, aud no more upon consumption
than will be caused by waste What they actually
eat as soldiers is less than what they get at home
large portion of these idlers from the cities
aud in Europe the labor Of Agriculture, thanks to
the long wars of former ages, ia customarily per-
formed by females. No coDscript is taken " here
bis laoor is necessary to his family. The mere
movement Of the men is of no commercial
importance. Where their operations extend
over a large agricultural surface, they, how
| ever, destroy and prevent agriculture, and
| 10 so far cause a demand from other ouar.
| ters. II this is confined to Northern Italy
while all she ordinary sources OF supply are un.
| disturbed, the commercial effect of the var will
| hardly be felt. There never was a more propiti-
| GUS rnomeot for WAR; than now since crops of all
| sorts In Europe are abundant, capital and money
| abundsut and cheap and enterprise not recovered
from the panic of 1858. This is a very different
state of affairs from what existed when the Rus
| sian took place. There was then failure OF
| everything la Western Europe. Wheat in Eng.
laud, had touched lois. In France the vines s h.
worms, food aud other crops, were all shcrt and
moEey was very dear. Under these crcum stapces
would have been quite as large had there been no
war at all. The event did not add to the demand in
any degree. Its Influence was felt only in the
manufacturing towns of England ia a scarcity OF
| labor, whence large portion Of the new troops
wera drawn. The armament of the war, however,
caused great decline in government funds, under
anticipation of large loans.
The migration Of men aud capital to the United
States during the Crimeen war, and sales OF pro-
duce to Europe were certainly large,but those cir.
cumstapces were not due to the war-they we're
