TERMS OF PEICF.

Such a thing as n zone price" shop was
never known in an Oriental bazaar. The habit
of centuries past is still retained in all deal
ings, from the sale of q button to the purchase
of the harvest of a province. The seller begins
by asking twice or thrice the sum he is willing
to take, and the buyer by offering one-half or
one-third OF what he is willing TO give.
SPACE is thus allowed for those commercial
skiImishes, those advances and retreats, which
-proIongcd by an occasional pipe or.cup of
coflee-are the delight of the Moslem heart.
The merchant who should first ask an honest
price, and then make no deduction, would be
looked upon as a dangerous inBovatOr, pro-
fessiOnal nfidcl.
Tie terms announced by tho Turkish Gov
eminent on Friday, in answer to the joint rep
sentation of the Great Powers On the 9th inst,
rs the basis on which the former IS willing to
make peacc, must DC understood in the COM
mercial sense. This is the first price de-
mapded, and we should not be surprised TO
find il exOrbitant. Considering the character
of the revolution which has at last placed
SuIian Hamid upon the throne, and the I'M
VARYING success OF the Turkish arms up to
fortnight ago. the terms arc hardly so extreme
as might have been anticipated. If they rep
resent the claims of the dominant party in
Constantinople, they rather indicate n reaction
from the first fierce excitement of the latter
OF course, they cannot and will not be ac-
cepted 10y Europe. But the statement OF
terms is none tie less the beginning of negotia-
ton. The report received yesterday, that the
Porte refuses 20 grant an armstice, but will
consent to a suspension of enthusiastically
the very same thing-is another evidence that
the war will soon be prosecuted by diploma
fists instead of soldiers
Whether the inaction of the Turkish army
before Alexinatz has been due to the prospect
OF immediate intervention, or the disposition
of Turkey to make terms is owing to fears of
check, if not of defeat, we cannot now decide.
1t is clear, however, that both the spirit and
the chances of the SeTvians have greatly re-
vived during this interval of delay: help for
them has flowed in from all sides: the elements,
of late, are fighting with them, and their posi-
ton is by 10 means 30 desperate as to justify
even the discussion of such humiliating peace
MS Turkey offers. There is, therefore, net the
slightest likelihood that the iatter-although it

SCIENCE md RELIGION ONCE MORE.
Prof. Huxley is to begin tonight q series
of three lectures, which are to embOdy sub
staptially what he has TO say OH scientific mat
tiers during his present visit to America.
There has been a disposition among some
well-meaning but very injndicious clergy
men, TO protest against the considera-
ton with which Prof. Huxley has been
treated. and to donounce him as an enemy
10 religion. Such men are themselves the
worst foes to religiOn-as its bigots have been
found to be in every age of Its progress.
Prof. Huxley will receive the attention due to
an eminent man of science, whose candOr and
fearlessness are only equalcd by his ability.
Meantime, we commend TO dissatisfied zealots
these golden words from one of the last adj
dresses of Horace Greeley: This, then, / APP
"prehend is the proper work OF the College (:
"To appreciate and measure, and undstrust-
8" fully accept and commend, the gigantic
strides which Physical Science is max

unpreiudiced ear to the bold speculations of
"our Darwins and Huxleys, wherein they
=" seem almost TO lay confident finger on the
every heart Of the great mysteries of life,
without fear that they viii ever eyict God
" from His universe, or restrict Him to some
obscure corner thereof; to welcome all

"petuous currents of modern thought
"but not exaggerate their breadth and
"depth, nor accept their direction as authori-
"tatiye and final; to protfer a genial and
gracious hospitality to whatever is nobly

Thus rail transportation has gained not only
the entire increase in the total shipments this
year compared with last year, but also about
one ninth of the grain which was last year
transported by water. The result has been
highly satisfactory to the railroads, If, as some
believe, they can afford to move through freight
even ut the low rates now obtained, but 1t has
not tended to increase the grain receipts at
Ncw-York. Last year, from Aug to
Sept II, New-York received 7,3l3,O33
bushels Of wheat, when the total OF all the
ports was ll,O7S, 791, and 4,Ol1 ,449 bushels
of corn, out of q total of 7,2S0,704 bushels,
and Il, 23S,672 bushels of all grain, ont OF n
total Mt all ports of O,6GS,92O-neary 0o
per cent. 1t is not necessary to say that the
receipts this year have been in much smaller
ratio. The total receipts at all the ports since
July 20 have been about lS,053,695 bushels
this year, but New-YorS has received only
about 6,4S9,0o0 bushels, or 81 per cent.
Though there has been a handsome gain, ut
times, compared with receipts during previous
periods this year, the fact remlins that very
considerable proportion of the grain tratic,
which New York secured ut this season last
wear, has been diverted to other cities.
1t is not improbable, rs sons OF the railway
managers claim, that extreme low rates have
retained for New-York much traffic which
would otherwise have been diverted. At times
we have called attention To evidence tending
TO sustain this claim. Nevertheless the fact
that large traffic is being drawn from this
city is not the less important and disagreed
bic, whether it be attributed wholly to the
competition Of railways with the canals, or
wholly to the excessive charges and other dis
advantages attending shipments to this port
That it il useless to look to arity government
for remedies, New-York should have learned
long ago. If the business men mean TO save
their traffic, they must DO something them
selves.

For many weeks the proportion OF grain re-
ceivod at Baltimore has not been as large as it
was during the weeks named Philadelphia
and Baltimore are changing places for two
months after the railway war began the pro-
portion of all grain received was at Philadel-
phia 20 per cent, and at Baltimore 14.6 per cent
The gain at Baltimore and the loss at Philadel-
phia are in part temporary, but they show the
curious effect of railway competition. The
proportion of receipts ut the Northern cities
has tuctuated little, Boston relatively gam
ing since June II. The corn receipts at New
York are the most encouraging feature OF the
reports. During the last week they were 4l.o
per cent of the total receipts at Atlantic ports,
Baltimore having % per cent, Philadelphia IA
per cent, Boston 0 per cent, and Montreal 3
per cent In this respect, also, Baltimore IS
gaining largely ut present, and Philadelphia Is
losing.
The rail continues to gain upon the canal IN
n remarkable degree. Last week, commenting
upon the decline OF tolls on the canal, Te gave
n comparative statement of shipments OF grain
from Western markets for four weeks ending
Aug. 26, showing q slight increase since last
wear in lake shipments, and an increase OF
nearly 30 per cent in shipments by rail. Dur
ing the two weeks ending Sept shipments
by lake have been only 4,0s3,9s2 bushels,
against 5,729,922 bushels during tho same
weeks last year, decrease of nearly 20 per
cent. But during the same weeks the ship
ments by rail have been 1881, 469 bushels in
1876, against 1871, 575 bushels in 1875. a
gain of nearly 2i per cent The comparison
for the six weeks since July 20 gives the fol-
lowing results:

TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Grain receipts have become quite large, aud
New-Yorl, gains very handsomely during the
last week reported, in proportion of receipts
as compared with other Atlantic ports. Never
theless its proportion of receipts of all grain
is not yet as large as it was during the latter
part of July and the first half of August, when
it was nearly AS per cent, for during the week
ending Sent. this city received only 36.1 per
cent, and during the week ending Sept. only
Ala per cent of the total receipts at the six
Atlantic ports. Following are the receipts Of
