New York, June 8. 1t is announced
that there has been large increase in
Western bound freights since last Satur.
day. Immense lines OF dry goods, loaded
upon carts and trucks, daily extend many
blocks from the freight receiving offices
This increase is, of course mainly due to
the accumulation OF freights during the
labor strikes, but not wholly. Orders
from the West and Southwest are now
coming in rapidly, and agood fall trade
is expected.
In the Wholesale dry goods market
yesterday an unsettled feeling prevailed,
owing to a break in the prices OF Oriental
prints, which were reduced by the agents
TO OF cents, but there was a moderate de.
mand for cotton goods, worsted dress
fabrics, skirts and hosiery from the
Southern and Western trade.
A letter from Glasgow, Scotland, men.
tions that the severe depression in the
Scotch iron trade has been further aggra.
vated by a strike among the furnacemen
The iron masters have decided TO blow
out one.third Of their furnaces as the
moSt affective way Of meeting the demand
Of higher wages.
The miners in the schuylkill region
have finally decided not 10 strike, but to
continue mining. This settles the Ques.
ton Of the price Of coal, apparently, and
there will be no advance in prices.

nitely tho prospect Of peace, The Eu.
ropeSn powers may offer to mediate
as a matter OI form, but Russia will
never make peace on defeat. Neither
will there be any European Intervention,
SO long as Turkey holds her own. The
other great powers, deeply convinced as
they doubtless are that Turkey needs
chastisement, and that her humiliation Is
in some degree necessary to progress in
the eastern question, are nevertheless
greatly pleased to Hnd that Russia has
got such job on her hands, and that the
chances for her ultimate success are no
more than even. We have never believed
that Russia was able to cope with Eng.
land or any Of tho other frst.rate pow.
Sr, and II now 1t proves that she is
pretty evenly matched by Turkey,
we shall doubtless hear less non.
Rense Of her being the menace Of Eu.
rope and Asia, and all that sort Of thing.
The CtimeNn war afforded no criterion
as 10 her military power, as she was on
the defensive and had nearly all Europe
against her; she was beaten but not hu.

itary and political advantages were sup.
posed to be on her side. 70 have been

three months destroys the preStige Of
Russia in the eyes Of Europe. She may
repay these disasters, but she will now
hardly hope to dictate peace from tho
Turkish Capital.
In England this battle Of Pleyna has
occasiOned general, though OF course de.
corous, joy. The pro.TurkS or Russo.
phobists rejoice that their friends have
won a victory. Those, on the other hand,
who have been opposed to Intervention
in behalf Of Turkey can now justly claim
that such intervention would have been
unnecessary, as we'll as unwise, and
would have deprived Turkey Of the honor
Of having successfully defended herself
alone. They can justly say, also, that the
fears Of the RussO-phobists as 10 the Rus.
