All For Peace.

VIENNA, June 26.-Count Kalnoky, ad.
dressing the Delegations yesterday,
stated that the peace Of Europe was not
endangered, although the situation was
unsettled. The condition Of things in
Servia is such that Austria is bound to
guard against subversive measures which
may be contemplated by her enemies in
that country. There are few nations
which manifest discomfort and would per-
haps welcome a disturbance Of the
balance Of power in Europe. This fact
causes a feeling OF insecurity, but all the
sovereigns are devoted to the mainten-
ance Of peace. The move ment for Servian
autonomy was chimerical and did not
constitute danger TO Austria.

weekly review of trade says: Il has been
a week of considerable excitement in
speculative circles. aud of heavy general
trade, without mater al change in condi-
tons. As all depends in large measure ct
this season upon crop prospects,
it is most encouraging to find the
reports in this particular nnusually
favorable, the only noteworthy ex-
ception being that some damage to cotton

at Galveston. In the Northwest the grain
outlook is particu larly fine, great I'M

where there had teen some apprehension.
With crops of unusual magnitude highly
probable, and with a general volume of
business so maintained, and the main in
crease OF 80 per cent over last year in
clearing house returns. the prospect is not
gloomy.
Detroit notes quiet business. and Kansas
City and Omaha report fair activity; at
Milwaukee Improvement is seen with
greater activity, and at Cleveland and

tinue to mend. The glass factories have
