petition. The Russians arc complaining deeply
oft. For some time past the struggle between

European corn trade has been a severe one, but
now the Americans have go far developed their
strength that they have actually had the auda-
city to carry corn to Odessa. which ia just as
>aggravating rs we should find it if they COM
menced to ship Goals to New Castle. A few

touched ut Odessa with a cargo of corn for the

have been cheaper to have exported the grain
from Odessa instead of bringing it all tho way
across the Atlantic but this does not appear to
be the case, thanks to the corrupt system Of sub
sidizing the railways Of Russia and steamboat
communication in the Black sea. Freigh:s
charged are excessive tnaL merchants at Ti1is
