BRITISH BREADSTUFFS.
weekly Review OF the Grain Markets
by the Mark Lane Express.

LONDON, January 23.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its review of British grain trade
the past week, says: The young plant is
strong and healthy. Farmers deliveries are
generally il-conditioned. There was a
moderate inquiry for sound samples Others
neglected. Foreign dull and the supply
small, especially of American. A scarcity
of American winter and spring red wheats
seems likely, but their equivalent is handy.
The off-coast market is inanimate, closing a
little better. Seven cargoes arrived and four
were sold. The floating bulk has slightly
decreased. For flour there was a steady de-
mand at firm values, and the supply moder-
ate. Lower grades fell slightly on Monday.
In foreign there was small spot supply at
unchanged rates. The large increase in the
floating supply from America seems to point
TO glut in the market similar to that OF
1881, than which a greater disaster could
scarcely befall the trade. Barley. both ma
tive and foreign, IS unchanged. Oats un-
changed; foreign dull and delinea cd. Maize
slow, but values a fraction higher. The
sales OF English wheat for the week
amounted to 50,0l5 quarters, at 46s Id per
quarter, against 36,935 quarters at AS 4d
tor the corresponding week last year.

BIsMARcK's power has always been a
force that irritates and drives, not prin-
ciple that convinces and leads. As he
becomes older, as is usual with such natures
as was the case with the impsrious Napoleon
before him-his power wanes. He is losing
the youth of Germany because he 6isappoints
its aspirations; he is losing the support
oi the liberals because they find him
the adherent of personel opposed
TO parliamentary government. The last
elections went against him, and he had to
face house the majority of which was op-
posed to him. That opposition, however,
was not homogeneous. While one sentiment
ruled /. as to Bismarck and his measures,
other notions and objects, and aims prevented
it acting in union. Bismarck saw the crack
in his enemy's defenses, he inserted his
wedge and has divided them. That wedge
was the pope, and the minister who a little
while ago was passing laws to
restrain clerical authority, is now undoing
his former deeds. The Vatican rejsices,
but the Vatican has come to a poor pass
when il can be made the football of a schem-
ing politician, kicked down one day and up
another. Bismarck, baking principle and
struggling and sputtering among the soap
suds of mere eXpediency, is sorry sight.
Experience has sharpenedas his cunning, but
has brought him no wisdom. AS he stands
playing off pEty against party, thus seek
ing his ends by iguoble means he displays
old age without winning reverence, and the
passing years silver his locks without adding
10 his dignity.

ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.
GOy.Churchill Admits the German Bank
Double Credit Matter.

Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, January 23.-It is now re.
ported in regard to the Churchill investiga
tion matter that the late treasurer admits the
German Bank double credit item of $13, 1000,
and credit on over-payment of $4,000 in
terest on the Lougborough bonds, making a
total of $4,000. Street rumor is to the
effect that the governor will soon call an
extra session OF the legislature to consider
the matter. This is doubted generally. The
hard crop year will reduce the revenue at
least One-third this year, and the State can
not stand the expense of an extra session OF
the legislature.
