EXCITEMENT AT BERLIN.

BERLIN, Aug. 12.-The ukase forbid
ding the export from Russia of rye and
rye meal of every kind or brand, which
was published in the official journal at
st. Petersburg yesterday, created an
enormous sensation in this city The
ukase came as a complete surprise to
dealers in grain here. There was some
difference in the dispatches in regard to
the date on which the prohibition is to go
into effect. Several of the early dispatches
yesterday stated the ukase would take
effect Immediately, while later kilograms
announced it would not be enforced un-
til August 9th. This afforded great re-
lief. The influence OF this action on the
part of the Russian Government was i'm
mediately felt on the BOurSe here. The
effect was generally to depress prices, al
though values did not fall as low as it
was expected they would, as many of the
leading bankers received secret adviceS
as TO the probable prOmulgation Of the
decree. One effect of the ukase has been
to raise the price of rye almost to the
price of wheat. Chancellor Won Capriyi
is deaf to all appeals made to him to re-
move the grain duties.
The Russian measure will not be felt
for several days. Rye imported by Ger
many from Russia cannot be replaced bv
that of any other country. Further and
rapid increase in the prices of breadstuffs
must be expected. This viii greatly
strengthen the agitation conducted bv
the leaders of the Freisinnige party, and
promises to augment the opposition to the
Government. Russian finances will also
suffer from the prohibition.
