eo that purchases now made are likely to be oflccted on the best terms of the season.It is remarked that many of the trade, «specially in London, have held to the belief that the high values of deals and other wood goods never were anything else put âctitious and that a return to the prices of five yean back is not im probable, and they imagine they see in the decline in values during the past year euly a natural return to the state of things which was departed from under the impression that timber had actually become scarce, and whic h was kept bois tered by a speculative demand that bar now resumed its normal proportion*.Says the Journal :\u2014\u201cMen of these ideafi \u2022æ nothingfto take advantage of in the present cheap rates, as they do not look forward to any rise immediate or remote, while they still consider even the present low prices above the standard of quotations at which their ideas have fixed thon».There may be a donbt as to whether the lowest limit has yet been reached, but that they will go up «gam when affairs become more settled many believe.But this time is not far distant.At Messrs.Churchill and Sim\u2019s last sale prices were a shade lower, while on the part of bayera there was a marked disinclination to be led into buying merelr because things were going cheap.\u201d Par iicuiarixing, the Journal states that at the naval ports, there is a decided im provement in business prospects, and things there ere naturally looking brighter -, aod, all along the ooast line South and South-West, trade has const derably improved since this time last year, when the first symptoms of the fail in values declared themselves.The London market, however, is mrah overstock ad, and as the majority of pt&chasers have supplied themselves with newly every thing they want, it is thought that until some turn in the tide takes place, pohti cal or commercial, to stimulate a demand, prices are not likely to unprove.While the demand continues so sluggish, it will take some tune to work off the stocks in the docks, which fresh arrivals to order are fast augmenting ; so that no revival of aaunation is expected until the inquiry for goods assumes a more genuine tone.Freights are very low and appear to have shared m the general deprecU tion.As yet, however, the building trade has manifested no inactivity and neems free from the grievances comp lain-od of in other branches of business.Ike worst features of trade are the ootten \u2022trikes, but it is thought that the result of these strikes, if they be in any way prolonged, will be to relieve the pressure on the markets induced by overproduction.In fine, the hope is expressed, that, though trade prospecte at present are none of the brightest, something more encouraging to note will soon turn up, a# the revenue returns are far from being unsatisfactory._______ We few very much that, with all their good will and honesty of intention, our new city lathers are not going the regular or practical way about the business of tiding over the financial difficulties of the city.In the first place, discounting the future by voting money\u2014small though the sum is\u2014out of departaaental appropriations not yet made to meet pressing claim* and before they know how much they will have to spend upon each branch of the service, is certainly not the correct thing, and it can only be excused upon the ground of the extreme hardship of keeping poor men and good servants like the police out of their weekly wage.To go on repeating this practice would never do.It is infinitely better and more just to all oonoerned to learn the truth at once by establishing whom and what con he kept op oat of the limited resources ni present available to the civic treasury Again, tho renewal of the city's paper with the hanks, at no lo^ignihcant coot, and the raising of seme $60,0U0, as talked ¦of, pending the receipt of power from tue Legislature to do better, may or may not be very neceeswy expedients under existing oirenmstenoes, that is to say, if they \u2022could be supposed to be successful j but it will strike outsider* with much force that it would be better to allow the bank* to hold on to the securities m tbeir possession in the meantime and endeavor to \u2022waliso upon the $27,000 or thereabouts «g anaoUeeted special tax and theTw- *** \u201c ***U>-Hy which the stevon reported jrcme weeks -a-7 to ha n 1 MBdy touching per or almost^ p 8-1 af they only touched half^ar tv®**11 holds more than enough to iadUuuJJv Jtself by selling out forthwith^d whv at should delay any longer or resort to other alternatives in its need seems somewhat singular.Of course, the first step %n be taken is to ascertain the truth of Iks Baron\u2019s statement, and the sooner we thtek this is done, by cable or otherwise, tbs better LATEST PROM JBÜROPE The Situation In Ihe Bast.'Uondilfona Upon Wblcli Kaaala Agreed to ttie Cougretra- A PALACE IN BERLIN PREPARING FOR ITS ASSEMBLING.Some Points Yet to be Settled B 3 fors Invitations are Issued- Andraaay Formulates Austria\u2019 Interests iu a Settlement.98agaanlinoua;Action ot the Button.Loiddi, May 29 \u2014A St.Petersburg corraa-(oadeot says 1\u2014At ons moment after Scbou vslnffa arrival in London an agreement appeared very doubtiui, but obstacles bare since been removed sod hopes of peace strengthen dally.It may be considered certaio the Con gross meets at an early date, but it is by no means certain it is possible to conciliate all the tenfiicting interests therein, and it is feared meanwhile a dangerous crises may be provoked by the war party in Constantinople A Vienna correspondent explains that Ras-«U will only accept a formula of invitation binding her to permit a free dtacoMlon of all questions upon the condition that she can first come to an understanding with England as to (be modtfieation to be proposed at the tJocgiees.The uot.eepondent concludes :\u2014 Tbs removal ot difficoUies in the way oi the Congress is anticipated here as hopefully sa before.it is announced the Radsiwell Palace in Berlin is being prepared for the sitting of the Congress.A Vienna despatch says the propositions which Scbouvalofl:' took to London, and which appear to have been substantially at cepted, were that the boothern boundary of Bulgaria is to be a line from Burgos to Phillip popolis and Vrsnja ; Turkey to retain Batoum o-i condition of tne demolition ot the Dana-oiaa fortresses ; the substitution of European lor Rnssian control in carrying ont the treaty and the remaining questions to be left to the Congres* Tne Ttmt* says it may be safely concluded the prospects are more hopeful than hitherto, but some not unimportant points most be settled before the invitations are finally issued, A despatch from Athens reports the Cretans have refused the amnesty offered thiougn the British Consul, but offered to accept a remoter armistice.Vixaxs, May 29\u2014Connt Andrauy, reespi vulstlug to the Aostrian delegation today the points ot tho tnaty which thad been brought to the notice of Russia and the pow eta as chiefly affecting Austrian interests, said as regarded the extension ot Bulgaria, the development of the Christian people in the Eist was not prejudicial to Aostila or Europe, bat the establishment of a state destitute of the conditions of \u2022 peaceful exist once, and which might oppress other nation aiities, was quite another thing.' Turkey should be preserved In wnat remained to her after settlement.A two years\u2019 occupation of Bulgaria was too long and tbe extension of Servis and Montenegro sbould be so arranged as not to interfere with Anstria\u2019s national communications with tbe East.hr.PsTSBXBUsa, May 29\u2014The semi-official Journal is St.Polenburg expresses satisfaction at the progress made towards the assembling of tho Congress and tbe establish ment of an noderstaodlug, and adds \u201c Al though in view of the existence of a war party in Constantinople, Pestb, and London, some reserve is stfll necessary, yet every day tends to promote a peaceful settlement.Van*, May 29\u2014A Cottaro special says the rnrkisn Government of floater! abcoiately insists upon the Montenegrins Immediately evacuating tbe strategical points near Pod.goritsa.Tho Montenegrlos are temporising, but show no intention to comply.flv.Pitsmbubs, Msy 19\u2014The Congress will, immediately upon meeting at Berlin, determine the .basis of the treaty of peace and the -régulations concerning its execution ; it will organise severs! local commissions, being appointed and instructed by a conference of Embassadors resident at Constantinople.It is expected the session of the Congress will be short.Cosb?armorls, May 29\u2014Tbe Sultan has ordered tbe reinstatement of ex-lui tan Murad al tbe Tcheregan Palace, aod the release of all of 411 Suavl\u2019s accomplices.Lotfooa, May 29.\u2014It Is stated that Scbou valoff had a iocg interview with Salisbury yesterday, at which he su bmitted Russia\u2019s answer to the points raised by England touching the Congress, and tbe final under, standing reached daring last week\u2019s negotiations.Ko doubt is expressed in any quarter about the assembling of the Congrtss.The only unpleasant feature of this morning\u2019s news Is in the direction of Austria, for ai though Andrauy had been all along persistently in favor of an European settlement in Congress, bis utterances now and.the Austrian preparations create unea-loess.The St.Petersburg unofficial press is still incredulous abont peace, and points oat that while Austria and Russia were negotiating to that end, England brought troops from India | now England accepts the Congress aud Aus-trio is making a demonstration threatening to Russis.These feelings are not entirely unwarranted, even if judged by some of tha points of Andrasey\u2019s speech to the delegations yesterday ; hi said that certain military preparations were necessary because, even if Congress led to an European understanding, complications might afterwards arise imperilling Anstria\u2019s parti cnlsr interests ; then again the Congress might fail, when Austria must be prepared to look (acts in the face.As to th,e actual employment of $0 millions credit already voted Andrasay\u2019g explanation was extremely meagre, bat from ether sources it is gathered that the 4th army corps is conceotratiug in Galicia, Eastern Transylvania and Dalmatia.Ironclad squadrons have been ordered to the coasts of Albania and Macedonia.The mill tary occupation of the line of the Orsova railway is iu progress, utf the occupation and fortification of the Carpathian Payses are accomplished f«cts.Great activity prevails on the Dalmatian frontier ;

but they are now more clamorous than ever for the passage of a bill making legal tenders receivable for Customs does and United States hoods.A mortgage for 9100,060 upon »t.Ann\u2019s Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, has been foreclosed.The New York Sum reports that the picture, by Gainsborough, of the famous Bucheas of Devonshire, which was cut from its frame In London, has been traced to New York.It was valued at $63,000.A Are in the taiiors\u2019 brtmming store ot Jos.Thai A Brothers, New York, this morning, canted a lots oi from $60,000 to $76,000.A Fort Graham, Texas, despatch says Baas, a train robber, with five ot his Bam ,\t-\t\u2014 - W \u2014J ww a WAA U wo Ul Ills men, ia soirounded.on Big Caddo Creek b?Bany Meadow, sheriff of Stephens Co., who expected to make an attack at daylight this morning.Borne fighting took place yesterday.The Washington House has voted by 164 to 03 for a final adjournment on 17th Jane.Eight New York liqaor dealers were to-day fined from $36 to $360 each by Becorder Hackett, for violation of the excise law, at the instance of the Society ior the Prevention of Grime.Xfcfc Trials mf a Poet While Col.Bangs, editor of the Aryut.was sitting in his office one day, a man whose brow was clothed with thunder entered.Fiercely seising a chair, he slammed bis hat on the table, hurled his umbrella on the floor \u2022ad sat down.\"Arc you the editor ?\u201d he asked.-Yes.\u201d \u201cCan yon read writing ?\u201d ¦Of course.0 \u201cBead that, then,\u201d he mid, thrusting at tne Colonel an unvelope with au inscription on was mutilated waa simply scandalous.I haven\u2019t slept a night since.It exposed me to derision.People think I am sn ass.Let me show you.\u2019\u2019 \u201cGo ahead,\u201d said the Colonel.\u201cThe first line when I wrote It, read this way t Lying by a weeping willow, underneath a gentle slope.\u201cThat Is beautiful, poetic, affecting.Mow how did your vile sheet preeeul It to the public ?There It la : Look at that I Made it read this way : Lying to a weeping widow to induce her to slope.\u201cWeeping \u2018widow,\u2019 mind yon I A widow 1 0 thunder and lightning I This Is too mnch !

That seems to me like carrying the thing an inch or two too iar.1 think I have a constitutional right to murder that compositor ; don\u2019t yon ?\u201d \u201cI think you have.\u201d Let me read you one more verse, I wrote : I swell the flying echoes as they roam among the hills, And I feel my soul awaken to the ecstasy that thrills.\u201cNow what do you s\u2019pofe your miserable outcast turned that Into ?Why, into this\u2014 I smell the frying shoes as they roast along the bulls, And I peel my soul mistaken to the sectary that whir la.\u201cGibberish, sir I Awful gibberish I * I must slay that man.Where is he ?\u201d \u201cHe Is ont just now,\u201d said the Oolonel.\u201cCome la to-morrow.\u201d \u201cI will,\" said the poet ;
