The English Political Outlook.
LONDON March 1fth.-The Times leading
editorial says: We are glad to perceive in
Lord Hartington's manifesto a moderation of
tone in marked contrast with the stormy
rhetoric that prevailed during the meeting of
Parliament among the active members of the
Liberal party. His Irish policy is one the
country viii heartily approve, whether car
ried ont by the Liberals or the Conservatives
The same observation may be applied to
Lord Hartingtons declaration with respect
to the foreign policy. The difference between
the policy Of the Government and that of the
Liberal party is reduced to question of
method. 1t is now admitted that the minor
ity was right in its aims, but it il affirmed
that its measures were Intellectual, and that
the objects of its efforts have not been COM
pletely attained. This is singularly unlike in
form and substance to the accusations which
were directed against the Government during
former discussions.

Government to enforce laws against many
unauthorized Orders. The Pure Left decided
to wait until after the secord reading of the
bill. and the Extreme Left reserved its
definite decision.
Russian and Asiatie Wheat Fields.
New YoRK, March 11th.-A letter from
Odessa Co the Messenger de Paris gives the
report of the Russian Agricultural Commits
sion on the subject of American competition
in grain in the European markets. The fact
seems to be established that Russia has so far
held her own, and with improved methods OF
agriculture she will be enabled to grow wheat
at even greater profit than hitherto. The ex-
port of wheat in 1873 was the largest ever
known, while that of 1879 has been only
slightly inferior in quantity, namely, A, 000,-
GOO bushels. The plains of Central Asia, it
is calculated by the Commissioner, will within
few years produce their contingent. The
conditions on which American competition
can be successfully met are that twenty-four
bushels of wheat can be grown one and
two-sevenths acres, and that the cost in
Southern Russia may not exceed from % to
to so roubles. With the selling price at from
to 10 roubles per chetsvert of wheat (about
81 10 per bushel) there will be profit of
from to 10 roubles per desseatine, or 500
per acre. The development of Siberia is
going rapidly forward Some thirty steamers
carry on the trade of the river Obi, and how
ever slowly the wheat productions of these
vast regions may be enlarged, it will still be
sufficient to meet the extra demands of the
European population.
