southern Interests and the East

Speaking of the effect of the war be
tween Russia and Turkey upon American
interests, the n. y. Bulletin, says: The
first effect of hostlities would be to
stimulate the demand for food supplies
for military consumption. The markets
would Immediately feel the effect of a
large government demand for grain and
for provisions. The next effect would be
to stop the supply of such products from
the countries engaged in conflict. just
Shat this implies may be inferred from
che fact that Russia usually exports
about 35, 600, 600 bushels of grain to
England aud European countries and
that Turkey and her dependencies ex-
ported last year to Great Britain alone
$500. 600 bushels. So that war would
cut of, in large measure, this supply OF
$4,000, 00O bushels of grain usually dis
tributed throughout Europe, which de
fieiency the United States would be
mainly expected to supply. Besides this
a proportionate extra demand would fall
upon US for pork and packed beef. And
beyond this we should probably receive
Snportant orders for munitions Of war.
The depression of trade in Europe will
check the consumption of our cotton and

Now, when this has been stated, all

effect of the war. upon them. 1t will
