Vegetation is still backward. Variable reports
| continue relative to the condition of autumn
sOwn wheat. Farm work is generally behind
hand. Cattle have thriven fairly but the stock
of roots is rapidly diminishing, particularly
turnips, and sheep farmers are anxious. Re-
ports of the condition of winter wheat in Scot
land are satisfactory. Potatoes have
been steadily rising owing to the
demand for seed for Ireland.
English wheat both in Mark Lane and the
| provinces has been marketed in small quanti-
ties and unsatisfactory condition. Growers
were unwilling to accept the lower rates which
| were offered and business consequently was
| very dull. Sales were only practicable at de-
cline of 6 pence to shilling per quarter. TIE
decline, however, principally affected badly
| conditioned parcels. The imports of foreign
wheat into London have been moderate. The
demand has been chiefly of a retail character.
as town millers seem determined to hold off
until they SEQ some better ground for existence
OF present quotations in America than specula-
tive enterprise. Consumption, however, goes
| on though speculation is absent, and business
though quiet. is very steady. Prices have been
| maintained except for Russian, for which sell
ers are are obliged to accept
little less money, though all the depression
was recovered to-day, MONDAY. Maize is still
! scarce on spot and prices improved both in
London and Liverpool. Barley and oats quiet,
but for the latter an occasional advance of
three pence per quarter was obtainable. Arri-
walls at ports of call are moderate. There has
| been a steady demand for wheat, chiefly for the
united kingdom, at an advance of shilling to
shilling and six pence per quarter. Only
one cargo of maize arrived, which brought 27s
Sd, being an advance of nine pence per quar-
ter. Business in wheat for shipment was limi-
ted, owing to the Indifference of buyers and
the advance demanded by sellers. Maize is in
active demand, chiefly for February and March
shipments at 25s to 25s Cd. Sales of English
wheat last week, 81, $50 quarters, at AIS Id per
quarter, against sc, $50 quarters at 37s I'd per
quarter the same week last year. Imports in
to the united kingdom the week ending Feb.
IA were Liz, 95S cwts. of wheat and ZIG, 301
cwts. of -four.
DEAN STANLEY STUBBORN.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-Dean Stanley to-day re-
csived an address with $500 signatures and
gave an audience to deputation protesting
against the proposed erection of monument
in Westminster Abbey to the memory of the
Primes Imperial. Dean Stanley refused to al
ter his opinion in the matter, and said if he
were to give way in this instance it would open
the door for complaints from every party
against honors to rivals. Relative to the sup
posed feeling in America against the erection
of the monument he said that doubtless If the
Orleans princes had fallen in the war of seces-
sion their graves would have been heaped with
all the honors the United States could bestow.
TO INFLUENCE THE REICHsTAG.
LONDON, Feb. PA Berlin correspondent
says he believes the article in the North Ger.
man Gazette on Russia's intention to erect new
Notifications on the frontier, is merely part Of
| an extra parliamentary agitation to secure the
passage of the Goldman army bill.
HOME RULE CAUCUS.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The home rule members
Of parliament held meeting yesterday to con-
slider the motion to check obstruct.o notice
of which was given by Sir Stafford Northcote on
Monday night. After protracted discussion
1t was decided to place a number of amend
ments on the paper materially limiting the
! suspending power proposed to be vested in the
speaker and combining the scope of the resoln-
tions to the present session.

LONDON Feb. 2i.-In the house of commons,
to-day. Mr.. Courtney, liberal, gave notice that

HOSTILE TO GERMANY.
BERLIN, Feb 2l.-The North German Gazette
says that when once the belief is created among
the Russian people that an attack on the part
of Germany is feared, it is only short step
from that point to hostile excitement against
threatening neighbor. If it be true that the
Russian designs against Germany, of which
General Meliotine, the Russian minister of
war, is credited with being chief promoter, are
only postponed until France is ready, then
the Notifications against peaceful neighbor
may be regarded az sure preparation for future
aggressive war with Germany. Neither France
nor Russia has ever been attacked by Germany,
and the colossal ornaments of these two states,
which, by compulsion, weigh upon the rest of
Europe. can therefore only be based on an ag-
gressive policy.
GERMANY COINAGE POLICY.
BERLIN, Feb. 24.-During debate in the
reichstag on the treasury budget Herr Scholz,
under secretary of state in the treasury depart
mem, said the sales of silver were stopped sim
ply because the government would not bear
the responsibility for the losses arising from
them. The suspension, however, was only pro-
visional, not defnitive. The question was
merely one of proloneation of the time re-
CURED for carrying out the coinage reform.
There had been in South Germany especially,
greater demand for silver coins than was ex-
pected. bill would therefore be presented
in the reichstag. probably during the present
session, for modification of clause four of the
coinage law.
PRUSSIA AND THE VATICAN.
BERLIN, Feb. 24.-The Cologne Gazette says:
We learn that the negotiations between Ger
many and the vatican are at a complete stand
still, as direct agreement is not attainable.
Prussia, therefore, on the basis of the knowl-
edge thus acquired, proposes to order her &C.
clesiastical affairs in an independent manner.
and the vatican assumes that the ministry will
lay before the chambers note to this effect at
the supplementary session next summer.

COMING AWAY FROM BIG ARMIES.
LONDON Feb. 2.-A Berlin dispatch says at
an audience given by Emperor William to the
president of the reichstag his majesty declared
that the passage of the army bill was absolute
ly necessary for Germany's defensive power.
