Bidlect of tne Czar’s Acceptance of the Peace ou the Grain Markees ef the Ie Nord of the 224 January, hes the following refieo- ‘tions wpon the probable consequences which the peace negotiations will Lave on the prices of breadstuff: : ‘The despatch which announces the acceptance by Rus- sia of the Austrian propositions, as preliminaries of ponce, has produced on all the corn markets of Western Europe a tendency to decline, the importanee of which ‘it will be well to consider. ‘For several months back the trade generally, and, on rite part, the government of France, had made extraordi- wary efforts to stop the rise of breadstuffs; but notwith- standing the arrivals from the United stvtes and from Algeria—two countries the crops of which have, provi- dentially, been of extraordinary abundance—nothing has beem obtained save » varying price of 36f. to 40f. per heetciitre, America, therefore, is no inexhaust- ible granary, seving that she has not, beon able to send a sufficient quantity of greim and fluuc to bring about a reaction in the prices, Neverthe- Jens, @ journal which pretends to be accurately iaformed op the matter, and which does not allow the figures i gives to be ciscussed, announced, on the autaority of Official documents, that the what crop ef the Unite States was six hundred mil ions of bushels, which left at our disposition at leas: three huaired millions of ‘bushels, or cne hundred mi!lions of hectoli\res—three _ times the maximum of the calculated deficit. Commerce, ‘which cares Uttle for doen, statistics, but appre- ciates facta, was not the least all-cted by thia consolator; news, knowing well that the ceop of North Amorica ordinariiy about fifty millions of hectoiisres, aad that the exportation does not usually excond fifteen or twenty per cent of this amonat; alao that the rise would con- ‘tinue up to the time wien the arrivals would ve conside- rable enough to render impoxsible the sudden and marked rvariations of price which speculation is fond of, aud en- deavors to provoke. Tuts atand-sill o1 took place when the conviction was weli cstablished % Algeria, — apd America would suffice to remove all appreben- of ecarcity. Thu fact once established, reg commerce no lovger feared to buy at high prices, certain anit was of not having to apprehend, at Jesst tor the , any depreciation, for evarybody was far from be- peace to be near at band. Now, pease 1s the ‘of the Russian ports and the exportation of grain h is wanted to make up the quantity necessary to the consumption of Westera Europe; consequently4t will be attended with s progressive dectine in the prices of Dreadstuffs and articles of coasumption of all kinds, ‘This is trae to auch a degree that the effest prodacei by the simple prospect of a probability of psaco was the same in Germany, }'rance. and even Eng! in spite of the hostile languago of the Londoa press. Tha decline was everywhere the same, on acsount of speculation in the different ccuntries having existed nearly to the same de- gree. ‘The folk tay} res will serve as a proofof what we advance :—In the decline fa flour was 4 to 5 fe. per bag, or 1 fr, 80 contimes to 2 fr. 40 contimes por hectwo- lize of wheat; in Marseilles, 2fr.; in Havre, 2fr.; in Brussels, 2 fr. 29 centimes; in Lon¢on, 6 shillings ‘per 2 fr. 20 centimes per heciolitre, and 3 fr. 76 cen- ‘times per bag of flour. Ca ime speaking the provincial mar! which do only ees in home grain, did no: ande-go so great * ag arr et it is nove the lees true that the tendency to decline has set in, and that a rise is no longer to bo feared, except in case of a ruptare of the negotiations. Everywhere the holders evince « derire to sell, but as the Fecho Agrico'e jusiciously remarks, peop'e must baware of ap excess which might bring a disappointment. Peace ‘has not as yet been signed, and ifit were, the ice which blocks up the Russian ports will only disappear in the month of April, so that, in the most favorable suppo- *sitien, tho supplies we may expect from she B'ack Sea and amy Balti¢ cannot arrive veloce a period of four months. Tfit be true that the reaction will extend to all the markete of the world, and that prices will godown as well in the United States as in Algeria, Fgypt and Spain; if it be probuble that exportation wiil'soua be permitted in Sicily, it ie not the less true to say that the prises of breadstuffs will only begin to approach seriously their normal rates in the summer, when peace has beea signed, and when is will be possible tu torm some e:rtaia antisipations as to the next crops, Thon woe to the im- rudent and obstinate speculator who wiil not have sold [itiaie, The besoking up will be complete, even theagh the promise of the next hurvests may aot be very favor- able. As to this thee can be no doubt, sioce the mare rospect of peace negotiations is sufficient to remove rom the market ali buyers who bave other objec.s than ‘to satis'y the current demand. «+ All branekes ot commerce feel this happy influence,” sas the Journal du Havre, 6 news of Jvussia’s acceptance of the Austrian ulti- matum bas been re-echoed in Hevre by an important re- svival of the cot.on market; since Thursday afternoon, when the despatch was received, the movement began by ‘the selling of 2 900 bales of cotton; on Fridey there had ‘been t animation in the market; ths quawtity of cot- ‘ton sold is estimated at 4,800 bales, ind-peudent of that otiated from sbips whose arrival is expected, which is Falued at 5,000 bales—in the whole, 12,70) bales. Prices have risen about 4f. Even the retail sales experienced this favorable reac- tion, at which nobody can be surprised; for whatever more the maases must expend for their nourish nent the; econcmise in their clothing, and it is well kaown that it is the masses who support the retail trade. On tne whole, a more favorable prospect ome before us—the renewed activity of industria! operations and of current transaction, and a steady decline in the prices of breadetufls ; but we do not wish to sce this amelioration brought on’ at the expense of any particalar class of ; therafore we cannot do better than conclude by yp irdyet the following sound reflections trom the Ech» ier “It would be dificult to tell precisely, at present, to what point the concluston of peace would lower prices; but actual prices are so high that a doclive of 10 or cent would leave them still above their normal rates. you add to these considerations that after a series of three bad crops, following close upon one another, there is & preeump' that we shall have better crops, you will easily underatand that all circumstances combine to suggest to the trade the greatest ciroumspection. The campaiga of 1855-66 assumes from the present moment an entirely different aspect; in this position the review ot what bas cccurred durirg the week, anterior to this 4nfluence, would really afford no interest.” England, Japan and the United States, (From the London Times, Jan. 23.] The text of the conventicn be‘ween Japan and Great Britein is now before us, and, as might be expected, adds Dut little to the amount of our information with regard ‘tw that singuier country, or the state of our own rela- tions with the Japanese. The convention {s similar to the one which had been already signed betweea the United States and the Japanose empire, and represents nothing but the minimum which could be conceded under the immediate pressure of an armed force and the ap- prehension of a still more serious attack.

Whe Trade of france, 1335. The Paris Monileur of 21st ult., contsins the trade ta- bles of France for the month of December, and for the year 1886, compared ith 1854 and 1853. ‘The import trade of France in 1856 was so the Minister ot Commerce hes asid that it equals tha trade of 1846, the most renowned under the former gov- ernment, and has thus entire!y overcome the depression which began with the convulaion ot 1818. The revenue obtained by the customs’ duties, which wequoteas the only criterion we have of the total imports, was, 1m 1855, 180,704, 000; in 1864, 160,687,U08f, and in 1853, 141,607,” Aho ovecle, Se ee testa des Sect as hg ax wi t, aD ‘grain and mi 10 rte were Jorn in’ 1868 than in 180¢and 180. at The following is the account in metrical quintets, each motrieal quintal being neecly two hundred weight:— 1866, IMPORT OF CERKAIS, a 1863, 4,109,589 5,414,950 5,159,854. Our surprise that France should have imp erted less in 1855 than in 1853, disappears when we notice what were in these years the EXPORTS OF CRREAIS, 18655. 1858, 957,581 1,696,206 3,903 487 ‘The exports, therefore, in 1863 exceeded the exports of 1865 by upwards of 3,000,000 quintals. France imported in ‘and exported flour. On the whole, therefore, rance is an importing country, and we may conclude, from the recent extension of her manuiactures and of her town population, that this is likely to be her coaiition for a considerable period.

It was but s year or two agu that a dozen cloquent, gentlomen were proclaiming every day to acmiring mo!-' tudes, ‘ England’s peril is Ireland’s opportantty.” All cover Europe the politicians who made it their business to watch us the most closely. and in America a class of jour- nalists who have evidently written on both sides of the ‘Atlantic, took up the saying and prophesied against us. It was supposed, or at least i strength of England was requir to rivet and tighten the chains cf the Celtic Prometheus, to neutralize hia | mad stroggles, and keep the vulture at his entrafs. At the least diminution of force ot intermission of vigilance 1. ¢ Titan would snap his chains, spring on his feet, defy our utmoat er, and compel us either to recognize his fiberty or submit in our turn to foreign cominion. Very true it was that in those days—deys that « boy may re- member--thitty thousand men were thought hardly « suffi- cient garrison for Ireland. Thirty thousend soldiers, teu thousand of the finest police in the world, and an elabo- rate system of barracks and stations, were constdered to require reinforement whenever an agitator had made « that smelt more than usuaty of whiskey. No doubt there were murders enough; but arms are ot as ttle vse ageinst murderers as they are st Caffres: or cock sparrows. and the army that we have described was tor the rising en masse, which was alwaya comicg, and never did come. These wiiy wud patient politicians were wailing for a foreign war, in the event cf which they were either to assume so menacing an atti- tude as to creat diversion, or actually to in- vite and receive army of Awerican or Gonti- neptal liberators. We doing no fojustise to our countrymen whenj we say that this was con- sidered quite om the fs, and that military authorities gravely laid down tha‘ in the crse of « war we could not move # man from Ireiand. Well, an oeca- tion has come, which certainly did not peril the existence of this country, but was in one hay see very much more trying than Ceitic prophets had foretold, since at one time it drained the military resources of this country to almost the last man. Now, then, was the time for the “-diversion.’” The Celt had only to show a bold front, and not thhty, nor sixty thousand Saxone, could guard a land teeming with patziote. All Ireland was the battle field, every hiila fortress, every hedge @ stockade, every beg an impregnable poaition. At a word—at « throbbing of the ational ulae—all Ireland would rise as one man and drive the Tippressors into the ses, That was th: expectation, and rearanable men held it. Bot whe: hen been the factt While England has #0 disarm- ed herrelf that we have seen mititiamen garrison the Towor of London and Portsmouth Dookyurd, we left at one time, not more then s thousand regular troops in Ireland; and, if they had been taken away, the exit of the Inat roldier would have made no more sensation or difference of any kind than the departure of the last evallow. No doubt wo rhall be told we have made a solltu te, ant then call it peare.

MOAHK MARK ES Taursparx, Feb. d—6 P. M. The stock market continues very active and very buoyant. The excitement at the board this morning was intense. Speculation has spread over the whole list, and the public mind has become com- pletely absorbed in the movement. At the first board, to-day, Hudson River Railroad bonds, third mortgage, advanced 1] per cent; Illinois Central bonds, 4; Canton Company; 3; Cumberland Ooal, 3; New York Centrai Railroad, 4; Erie, 4; Harlem, 4; Panama, 4; Reading Railroad, 4; Hudson Railroad, 14; Michigan Southern, 1; Cleveland and Pitts- burg, 2; Milwaukie and Mississippi, 14. Nicaragua Transit declined j per cent; Gulena and Chicago, 14; Cleveland and Toledo, }. The most active stock ou the list to-day was Cumberland. Galena and Chi- cago was freely offered at the decline. We have heard many complaints lately against the manage- ment of this company. Dividends, both of cash and stock, payable in Chicago on the Ist of Februa- ry, have not yet reached the owners’ hands, and many parties have been put to serious inconvenience. It is very evident that the company’s officers do not understand the way of doing business upon the most modern eystems. It may seem all right to the President and Secre- tary to put off,to auit their pleasure, the pay- ment of a dividend; but it is not so comfortable for the parties receiving it. We publish in another coi- wun a commonication from one of our cotempora- ries, reviewing at considerable length the affairs of the Galena and Chicago Railroad Company. We give it for the purpoce of creating inquiry, and if the abnees exist, of bringing about a reform. There is no doubt that the board of directors would be much improved by some changes in its organization. ‘Those interested should attentively read the article referred to. It is always best to see everything that can be said against a company, as well as every- thing in its favor. The improvement in Milwaukie and Mississippi to-day was no more than we antici- pated. The great difference between the market value of this stock and Galena and Chicago, and the moderate difference in their actual productiveness, have attracted the attention of holders of the tatter, and changes have been made to some exteat in the investment. Some time siuce we stated that sales of Galena and Chicago had ween made, and the proceeds invested in Milwaukie and Mississippi. That movement has been going on steadily for some weeks. The recent advance in Galena and Chicago bas given a new impetus to the movement, and the effect is seen ina rise of four per cent in Milwaukie and Mississippi. Michi- gan Southern opened this morning at 96, and clozed at 95 per cent. The greatest advance today was in Cleveland and Pittsburg. The sales amounted to about one thousand shares, opening at 66 and closing at 674 per cent. For some time past small purchases of this siock have been going on, aud the market value hag been steadily appreciating. Tbe public have not yet taken hold of it, but as soon ae its merits hecome more generally known, it will attract capital aod be taken hold of, both for speculation and investment. Hudson River Railroad stock sold to some extent, this morning, atan advance. The transactions were all on time. Reading sold freciy ata fraction above yesterday's prices. It felloffa littre at the close. This stock has not partaken of the general improvement. The margin fora rise is certainly large enough, and the amount of stook on the market is not very great. Jt is an established fifteen per cent investment, and should long since have ruled above par. After the adjournment of the board the following sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction by A. H. Nicolay:— 98,000 Chi. & Miss, RR. 1st mort. 7's, int, addad... 72 10,000 Great Western (Iil.) RR. 10° 0.000 Torre Haute & Aiton RR. 2 ¢ 000 Obio and Miss. KK. (Eas. div + ¢00 Three be.

Simeon Draper's regular semi-weekly sale of bonds and stocks will take place to-morrow, Friday, at hal’-past 12 o'clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. At the second board there was a very important reaction in prices, the natural consequence of such a rapid rise. Erie fell off § per cent; Cumberland, 4; New York Central, 1; Harlem, 3; Michigan Cen- tral, 4; Michigan Sonthern, 2; Cleveland and Toledo, 4. Cleveland and Pittsburg sold at 67 per cent, whichis one per cent advance on the opening price at the first board. There were sales of Nicaragna at morning's prices. There is evidently a party ac- tively engaged in getting contracta, buyer's option, for this stock, prior to some upward movement.
