The Cuban Question.

LONDON, January N.-The Times review
Secretary Fish's note on Cuba and the cir
culsr to European powers. It says thu
grounds of complaint exclusively refer Il
ties can not participate in the negotiations
with any prospect of International ad
vantage. Spain and America must settle
their difference for themselves. The risk
OF lose, if either resorts to force, is too seri-
ous to be rashly incurred.
1t is possible, however, the European
powers might help to promcte . compro.
mise, which, while saving the honor Of
SPAN, would eca ::ae Cuban difficulty. The
article, after quoting the assertion Of the
Anti-Slavery Society in their memorial to
Cuba the rights of Q self-g0verning colony
on condition slavery be retained, points to
the contrast drawn by Mr.. Fish between the
British colonial system and the despotic
system of Spain, and concludes:
IF the two governments are agreed with
regard to the end there should be little
difficulty in devising the means. The
slavery question need occasion little con-
tr0versy. Cuba, with . practically indie
pendent Legislature, would coon find aboli-
ti6n necessary. The island would probably
be badly governed, but the war would be
ended and Cuba allowed to develop her re-
sources"

The Grain Trade.
The Mark Lane Erpress, in it's review of
the grain trade for the week, says milder
weather gave Q more favorable aspect for
the farmers, but the same cause led to the
deterioration of samples, and prices again
suffered, although good and dry samples
changed six pence per quarter, and re-
manned only one shilling above last years,
while deliveries of English are fifty-six Der
cent below them.
AT Paris, inferior wheat is 6d0ls lower.
Flour has maintained it's price because
better rates are obtained for wheat in some
provincial markets; Marseilles is over
stocked. In Belgium and Holland the
markets are unchanged. At Hamburg the
market is dull. Inland navigation is closed
difficulty. At Dantzic prices are lower in
the absence of English demand. At St.
Petersburg quotations are steady. In Aus.
tria and Hungary business has been ON the
smallest scale; prices lower everywhere:
there are hopes that spring will revive bust
ness, but the unusually heavy foreign stock
0eters mll!ers from purchasing, and acts a.
dead weight on trade, though We have no
doubt they will ell be wanted shortly.
