THE BREADsTUFFS TRADE.

THE BREADSTUFFS TRADE.
We copy the following valuable and interesting
article from the New York Journal Of Com
merce:
We have now reached the season of the year
when we can overlook the future for little way
in advance and ascertain with some degree OF
exactness the probable foreign demand for Ameri-
can cereals. The European crops last year were
far above the average, and this was sensbly felt
in the diminished call for shipments OF bread
stuffs from the United States. The official tables
for the whole country are not brought down to
recent date, but We eau give fair idea OF the
change to which we ailude by presenting from
our record a comparison of the shipments from
this port. The folio owing will show the quantities
shipped hence in each OF the last four years
1862 1863.

Even these figures do not tell tie whole story OF
the decreased European demand, because por-
ticn of the American crop, failing OF market
there, has sought purchasers in less favorable
markets. 1t is very seldom that so many causes
combine as were operating last year to cut of our
trade 1t is true that whea the English crop
fails, either France, or Germany, or Spain, or
Russia, or ali together msy be ble sed with unu-
sual abundance and THUS divide with Us the ad
vantage to be gained in supplying the need
France usually Iaises sufficient for her wants and
seldom produces any largo excess. She every
year ships fir, m her northern ports very liberal
supplies across the channel for ready market in
England; but unless her crop is unusually album
bant she obtains at her Mediterranean ports. from
Spain and other available sources, compensate.
~ amount In 1861 there was large deficiency
in the French crop, and this gave very valuable
trade TO the United States, all Europe WAS
more or less deficient the same year.

[From the New York Herald T
Negro Rule for New England.

1t is very evident, from recent adVices
that the negro troops are no longer need
ed in South Carolina or any OF the otnei
Southern States. The work Of reorgani
cation under President Johnson's policy
is progressing so favorably everywhere
that the negro troops have nothing to
do, nor are they required there. Even
South Carolina is becoming one OF the
most peaceable localities in the whole
country.-gWe advise the President to
withdraw the colored troops from that
section and send them immediately to
New England. The latter locality,
under the teachings of the radicals, is
becoming s excited Z The leaders are
threatening another revolution, ana
need close watching. They claim tnat
the President should take certain steps,
on the ground that military rule still
prevails, and we trust that Mr. Johnson
will take them at their word, and forth
with garrison every portion OF New Eng
land with negro troops. ,
There is no telling what the political
conspirators of the radical school may
not do if they are allowed to continue
their plotting and scheming. The rad
ical Jacobins there have already threat.
ened repudiatisu, revolution, and
numerous other things, if their ideas are
not adopted Senator Sumner has even
gone so farlas to advocate in executive
session of the Senate the impeachment
of Mr.. Johnson. All this shows the an
linus of the New England radicals and
the necessity of their being closely
watched. These fanatics manifest great
love aud devotion for the negroes. The
bestthipg that the President can do is to
put the negro troops on duty at their
very doors. We know no better way to
prevent a revolution in that locality
What is done should be done immediate
ly. The radicals are busy night and day
embittering the minds of their followers,
and if left alone will soon become so
bold that it will take more than the
present number of enrolled blacks to
keep them straight. But by the imme
diate withdrawal of all negro troops
from the South, and their proper distrl,
button throughout New England, all
trouble may be averted, and the censplrI-
acy in that locality nipped in the bud.
Great care should be taken to place sui
fcient colored warriors over the resi-.
dences of Phillips and Sumner, as well
as Faneuil Hall These are the first
points to be attended to,
