WHAT THE WAR WILL PROF
IT US.

We, as a--aation, are only concern
ed in this war so far as material in
terests are affected, and business is
just now soprostrated that it looks
anxiously for the least sign Of relief.
That American commerce, finance
and agriculture will be materially
benefited, no one seems to doubt, but
it is quite evident that labor will ex-
perience but little immediate relief,
in fact at the present price asked for
-four, our day laborers are surround
ed by greater difficulties than ever.
AT present the two great grainproduc-
ing countries OF the world are South
Russia and the valley of the Mis-
sissippi. and between these two sec
section there exists active competition
for the supplying of the nine to four
teen millions quarters of foreign wheat
required by England, and the large
additional amount needed. by other
European nations.
The improvement of the mouth of
the Mississippi, which enables vessels
loaded along the banks Of that great
river to proceed direct to Europe, it is
stated, has reduced the cost of export
fully so per cent. A great many per-
sons argue that the war will have but
little effect upon our home market.
Such persons should make themselves
familiar with the country engaged in
this conflict. That the agricultural
activity Of Russia will be paralyzed,
no one can doubt, for we must Bear in
mind that the best grain-producing
section Of Russia is nearest to the
territory Of her enemy. In the east
and west corn and wheat have advanc-
ed in price during the past ten days,
S and it is quite evident that the Pro
duce Exchange dealers are watching
events very closely, evidently with
hope that other nations will become
involved in the conflict, which would
produce a wonderful effect upon our
markets. Should the Black Sea and
Danube be closed, the shipping inter
ests of Europe would fall to this
country, which would be called upon
to supply the deficiency thus cut off.
While the indications are very favor
able for the tiller of the soil, figures
show that If the present prices of
breadstuffs are maintained, the war
has actually increased the actual
cost Of living in the United States an
average Of fully twenty FIVE per cent
This is very serious matter, since
hbor-nor capital have not as yet been
able to find an avenue by which their
earnings can beincreased proportion
ately. The money received by cur
producers must go into circulation.
and we can only hope that the result
may prove an impetus to set capital
to work again and bring about better
times in all branches of industry.

Packard's legislature, In caucus, has
Issued another series OF resolutions de-
nupoiatory OF the commission. The
caucus was tempestuous. Senator Dave
Young claimed that he was restrained
OF his personal liberty. The guards on

ard addressed the caucus, expressing q
determination TO resist TO the end.
A committee Of colored ladies, head

him after the Nichols legislature adj
ourns. He expects to re'establisb his
quorum, elect TIE short term senator,
and transfer the case to Washington.
The dispatch continues: "The Pack
ard legislative caucus tonight sent a

offering to dissolve, provided seven
teen now unrecognized returning board
members be paid their mileage

scented to the proposition, and am In

sion that both Warmoth and Mcmillan
and their friends will take seats In

Ludeling faction will still hold out
along with Packard. The president
telegraphed to the commission to-day
that in response to request contained
IN Governor Nichols letter, IN order
for the Withdrawal OF troops to their
barracks would be issued forthwith.
The Tribune's New Orleans special
says the conservatives will walt until
