The Golas (Russian,) says the export of
grain has fallen off considerably from the
amount Of last year, for during the first six
months of 1873 15,8l3OO0 quarters were ex-
ported, but this year only Is, ,l32, 900 quarters,
On the other hand, imports are considerably
larger than those of last year, making the
balance still more unfavorable. In a few dis
tricts the Russian harvest is good, in the most
it is middling. In the Kieff district. generally
fertile the harvest is very bad, and the price Of
grain has risen accordingly. Farmers arc suf-

Advices from Washington of Septem-
Der 49, state that there is in the treasury but
about sc, $4,000 in gold, in denominations less
than $40. This amount is not sufficient to
meet any active demand upon the treasury
for small coin. To supply this deficiency, it
is understood to be the intention of the treas
ury department to rccoin most Of the foreign
gold received at the New York assay Office
into five and ten dollar gold pieces. In re-
coming foreign gold nothing less than five
dollar pieces will be turned out, as it is desired
to get as large Il number Of standard silver
dollars us possible into circulation.

The Londod Times says the extraordi-
nary controversy now alarming Europe on
the supposed misunderstanding between Gors-
chakof1 and Bismarck shows what dangerous
stuff is all around us. A ring of interested
spectators in co)lusion seems to have half per.
suadcd the illustrious statesmen, the great.
ness of one mighty empire is incompatible
with the greatness Of the other. For the Rus.
sian and German nations at present the diff.
Guilty appears to be to manufacture reasons
for flying at each others throat. Their inter
sests arc in no respect opposed Neither OWE
territory coveted by the other. We believe
much of this fourishing of swords will be
found to be merely the exercise of fencing
schools, but it is time the masters came for
ward ard rcassure mistrustful Europe.

grade movement OF consequence. the result
has not been disastrous, except in three cases
on Change, until this date, when several
small operators suspended; but the total
amount of their liabilities will hardly be g..

cidedly buoyant feeling, most marked in
pork and short ribs. Farmers appear to be
holding back their supplies for better prices
