and not much disposition on the part OF
holders OF wheat to sell. This is mainly
attributable to the speck Of general
war on the Europeon horizon, which
has assumed Of late, more threatening
appearance than At any time since the
outbreak of hostilities between Montene
gro and Servia on the one hand and
Turkey on the other. Itnow appears as
if Russia is determined TO become in
volYed in the struggle, and against her
old enemies, the Turks. The only re-
straint to Induiging IN her wishes is the
fear of the rest of Europe combining
against her, as in the Crimean war OF
1854. Breadstuffs then went up
whooping and stayed up way beyond all
reason until the close. No doubt if the
great powers OF that continent, who settle
the hash of the smaller and weaker gov
ernmen,s by wink and a nod, as it
were, become imbroiled with each other,
the same effect on breadstufs will again
be wrought. Until the question Of peace
or war Is fairly settled, the market for
grain and -four will continue to partake
of its present feverish symptoms.
The produce dealers all speak fsvora-
bly of very fair weeks business. Some
articles. however, do not hold up to the
prices of last week. Butter is fully &c
lower and the market overstocked.
Potatoes, too, seem very plenty, though
they are not of the best quality. Apples
will hardly bring any price. Eggs are
in good demand and very scarce. The
market for chestnuts is overstocked, and
prices have dropped to So 90 per bushel.
Now that there is hardly any wool in
this section, farmers can get nearly lOc a
pound more for it than they could four
months ago. 1t Is now in good demand
at 3StG40c for fine washed. Speaking of
wool reminds us that Henry X. List, Esq,
has Just disposed of his large stock, con-
ssting of 100000 pounds, to the New
England mills on private terms.
