The Aims of Russia.l
ST. PETERSBURG, July 19th.-The Fe1o.
naosti declares that the aims of Russia are evil
dent, and certain offensive movements harm
nobody, for they consist only in the constltu-
tion of an independent Slav State of tie
peninsula, and in the opening of the Dar-
danelles. No Power can have more moderate
wishes, but it is necessary that they should be

no other flag than the Russian ought to be
allowed to wave on the Bosphorus. Should
that not be possible, it would be better to not
make any char re in the affairs OF the penin
sula for the present.
The semi-otficial Bereg says: No intrigues
or secret conspiracies are necessary to accel-
crate the collapse of the Turkish Empire
The situation has now come to point where
it is only desirable to give free hand to Chris
tians in the Peninsula. A general insurrec-
tion might follow and streams of blood be
shed, but the struggle would certainly not last
long, in consequence of the political and
moral decadence of the Porte.
The MoleTd says: We are convinced that
all the Powers, except Austria and Germany,
agree in plan to liquidate the Turkish EN-
pire. Austria would also not he disinclined
to share in such liquidation, if she were
allowed to take part of the booty. For the
moment Austria may wish peace preserved in
order to wait for a more favorable time for
reopening the Eastern question, but it must
be regarded as II iece of good luck for the
different nationalities of the peninsula, that
Austria is now much occupied with home
difficulties, aad is therefore not able to hinder
the natural development of the affairs of the
East.
English Grain Trade.
LONDON, July 19th.-The Marx Lane Er.
press says: The weather continues showery
and unsettled, and heavy rains in certain
districts have Elaid the grain crop. The ex-
cessive rainfall at this critical period tended
to emphasize the firrnness which has recently
characterized the grain trade, owing to deple-
ton of granary stocks. For English wheat
prices have been well sustained, and in some
cases slightly higher; but the offerings are so
small and the quality SO inferior that the
quently there has been good demand for
such qualities of grain as can be substituted,
notably Australian and New Zealand, which
readily brought from 40 to 81 shillings. Red
wheat continues unusually scarce, particu-
larly Saxonska and winter American, both of
which are readily taken at So shillings. In
spite of the good harvest prospects in Amer
lea and Europe, there appears little chance
of any decline in the immediate future,
while the possibility of smart rise
is quite on the cards. Stocks of wheat
in London, July 1st, were nearly $4,000 quar-
ters less than on the same date in 1879. while
it is estimated that the total of about 136, 600
quarters included large proportion of for
eign wheat, which, during the past fortnight,
has gone rapidly into consumption. Stocks
of maize are also largely diminished, while
oats show little variation. Business in both
was quiet, but in the case of maize this was
chiefly due to scarcity of spot sales readily
made on Friday at 24s. Continental buyers
were also in the market, but their operations
were restricted by lack of available produce.
Sales of English wheat were 16. 999 quarters
at AIS, against 3d. 419 quarters at AS 10i the
same week of the previous year. Imports
into the United Kingdom for the week end
ing July 10th were 1S5, 116 cwts of wheat and
131, 35S cwts of -four.
