The Grain Trade In Russia.
LONDON, January 5.-The Times in its
| financial article to day says: 1t seems from
recent articles in the Moscow Gazette that
great stagnation prevails in the grain trade
IN Southern Russia. Russian agriculture is
threatened with a collapse. Chief among
the causes is the keen competition OF
America since the civil war in that country.
The British import of American wheat
has increased until it stands now where
Russian importation stood in 1867. Then
Russia cent forty -tOur one-hundredths of
her total import. and the United States only
fourteen. In 1873, the United States sent
forty -four One-hundredths and Russia only
twenty-Ona. This does not represent a de-
crease to that extent of Russias total ex-
ports; on the contrary, they have slightly
increased, but Americas have increased
much faster.
The causes are declared chiefly to be
Americas superior transit advantage, her
virgin soil and her more scientific agricul-
ture. The Gazette, therefore, urges the
Russian agricnlturists to incorporate new
lands, use better appliances and more skill,
but says that cheaper inland transportation
is the CHEF need.
| Austrian Occupation OF Insurrec,ionary
Provinces.
The Times this morning publishes dis
patches from Ragusa containing the follow
ing:
All information from official and uncffi-
cial sources confirms the opinion that not
| only is Austrian occupation OF insurrectiOn-
airy provinces determined upon, but that
some foreign occupation is absolutely neces
| sary as q precaution against most probable
massacre of Christians wherever they are
unarmed and helpless.
A Plan to Pacify Hungary.
A Vienna dispatch to the Standard says:
Duke Rudolph as King of Hungary, is that
the Hungarian government has resolved to
M AXE great demonstration of loyalty, by
which it hopes to gain the support Of the
imperial court in the impending negOtia-
tiOns with Austria relative to the revision
OF the relations between the two halves OF
the empire.
The feeling in Vienna is very bitter. All
the journals declare the complete separa-
ton of Austria and Hungary is preferable
to a compliance with Hungary's demand
for forced circulation of Hungarian bank
notes in Austria, and bankruptcy which
would inevitably ensue. The trouble may
lead to the resignation of the entire Cis
teithan Cabinet Of which Prince Auerspeig
is president.
Russia Advises Neutrality.
A day or two ago the Times published a
Vienna telegram, stating that in reply to a
request of the Prince Of Montenegro to be
allowed to enter into action against Tur
key, the Russian government advised him
on no account to depart from neutrality.
This morning the Times publishes a letter
from Vienna simplifying and confirming its
telegram. 1t seems the Prince of Monte
negro wrote Prince Gortschakof and the
powers that in maintaining neutrality he
directly imperiled his throne and life.
Prince G0rtschakotf submitted this letter
to the Emperor of Russia, who directed the
Chancellor to write the Prince of Montene
gro to face courageously the present diff
cult position, and on no account abandon
the policy of neutrality, expressing the
hope that the situation would soon improve.
The Prince OF Montenegro replied that he
would follow the Cars instructions.
Rebukiug the Clergy.
The Times Vienna correspondent writes
that the Greek Metropolitan Of MOstar, to-
lowing the example of his Catholic col
league, has Issued a pastoral letter in which
he upraids the clergy for 1omenting in
surrection, and requiring them to leave
their evil ways, and return to their duties
en- pain of severe punishment according to
his apostolic power.
