MONETARY AND.OMMEKCIa1,

In monetary affairs there is about the same
state OF things as has existed for some weeks
past. The delay in the resumption of the coal
trade on the canal and its probable ultimate de-
cline has naturally caused great unessiness in
this community where the effects are 30 percsp
tib'y felt, and corresponding dependency is
noticeable. Business is not is active as it was
anticipated it would be at this season, and there
is u general complaint of "dullness' and hard
times. In New York money is quoted easy at
4n5c State stocks arc moro active, and We note

The Berlin Post, Ministerial journal, has
leading article saying: Recent events uufor-
tunatey render it too probable that the present
French Assembly, fearing there will be Re-
publican majority 10 the next Assembly dis
posed to peace, are anxious to preclpltate q
war of revenge under the dangerous auspices of
Marshal MacMahon and the Orleans Princes,
while the strong body of Royalist Deputies will
be placed in position to profit by the restora-
ton ola monarchy. War, accordingly, is coming
on, although the clouds gathering on the hori-
ION may yet be dispersed.
THE Austrian Conservatives are endeavor-
Jog to Dust Andrassy from the cabinet, with q
view Of participating 10 coming events.
1.-The greater part of the upper classes in
Italy are ready to ,iu any ally against Germany
considering her anti Papal attitude hostile to
Italian interests; yet it is by 90 means certain
that France will be able to procure an Austro-
Italian alliance just now. 1t her endeavors fail
the war will probably be delayed, but things
will reach pass when the German people
shall be better acquainted with the realities Of
the situation. 1t is time to awaken the slum-
berers." -.r-
The Berlin correspondent ofthe London Times
says this article is likely to have strong effect
and alarming rumors are rife. The same CORE
spondent states that since the meeting of the
Emperor Francis Joseph and King Victor Em-
manuel there is even less prospect than before,
in Berlin, of concerning common measures with
Austria and Italy in relation to the personal
responsibility Of the Pope.

steadily covered with snow, and there can be
DO doubt that when thaw comes it will be

will begin. The weather will be hot and fore
ing, and the growth Of the wheat plant will be
rapid. Another thing seems to be pretty Ger
tain, and that is that there will be a big corn
crop 10 1875. Corn is now bringing a price
that will insure large profit to the farmer,
and hogs are high also Thus there are Two
