GOLD, WHEAT AND THE WAR.
The Chicago Tribune OF yesterday says
Markets OF al kinds seem to have entirely lost
their sensitiveness 10 the European war news. Two
months ago prices OF breadstulfs gold and bonds
were bobbing up ana down four or five
points each 1ay on every runlor that
dashed over the telegraph wires. Gold and
breadst,lifs declined on the news OF every
Prtssan success, and on the other hand. wheat and
gold advanced on every prospect Of a piolongatIou
OF the war. Now matters are changed. the war
has lasted much longer than the most Of people ex-
Dected IL would, and yet gold IL two per cent
lower than ii was on The LIST OF September and the
prices o. breaasiuis Just about the same now as
they were then. IL Is now believed BY many that
the termination OF hostlies wodd he the signal for
q revival in the demand for breadstUus and pro-
Visions 1t OF least pretty certain that this would
be the case VITA cotton, petroleum, tobacco ana
many other c0mniO iites. Tie consequent Increased
volume OF exports would have tendency TO depress
the price OF gold, and though the demand for prOvi-
el0ns, hreadsluis and other eXpoftaDc coumodi-
ties might be largely Increased 1t Is probable that
much advance lii quotations in currency would be
prevented by The decline In gold. Indeed 1t does
not seem improbable that when the war closes, and
our abundant surplus OF eNportable commodities Is
permitted 10 npw nicely 10 Europe, the experience
Oh las! fall aud winter may be repeated limited

touch even q lower price than 1t did last spring.
