THE MARKETS,

LONDON, December 18.-The Mdrk-L Lane
Express says: In spite of the heavy sup
plios, which consisted mainly OF Russian
and East Indian scriptions, q steady feel
ing was apparent in the trade. Millers have
eyinced an increased desire to operate, and
it is probable that as soon as Russian sup
plies cease prices may rally some few shl-
lings Der quarter. Holders still refrain from
pressing sales, and in the uncertain state Of
political affairs the future course OF the
grain trade is more difficult to foresee than
it has been for long time past.

LING THE CABINET.

to the internal questions which arc now
dividing Prince Bismarck from Emperor
William and some Of the Ministers the
Standards Berlin dispatch says:
Prince Bismarck seems to have overcome
the obstacles which have hitherto hindered
the realization Of his plan for remodeling
the Cabinet. 4 rumor is gaining credit
that Herr Camphausen, vice-presidcnt oil
the Council Of Ministers and Minister OF
Finance, and DR.. Achenbach, Minister OF
Commerce and Public Works, will resign,
and that the latter will be replaced by DR..
Friedinthal, Minister OF Agriculture; that
Herr Bennigsen, president Of the Chamber
of Deputies, will become Home Minister.
The other portfolios will be distributed
when Bismarck returns to Berlin. Such asst.
uation would be solution for the National
Liberal party who, up to the middle OF last
week deSpaired OF so hopeful an issue. The
apparent Conservatives declined at the last
moment to enter the Cabinet previous to
the removal of DR.. Falk, Minister Of Pub
lie instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs,
and unless they had guarantees that all the
ecclesiastical laws issued since the beginning
of the ecclesiastical wars should be partly
abolished and partly remodelled. Bismarck
is now working to remove some conrtiers
of high rank, whom he charges with con
spiracy against him. According 10 TIT
latest intelligence, he has up to this time
not beeu successful, but they anticipate
that those courtiers must this time yield t
the Chancellor.

LONDON, December 1S.-The Times!
Constantinople dispatch says: England
is in great disfavor here on account Of Ser
Was treachery. which English influence in
favor OF Servia rendered possible. There
is O strong impression here that England
