Uo.’s Report of Business for the Past Woelc. R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade for tho past week says : “Tho lowest prices ever known for wheat and cotton neooBsai'ily imply somewhat restricted resumption of other products. With tho chief monoy crops of tho west nnd south sinking in value, it is not strange that purchases of manufactured products are smaller than was expected. Wheat has touch ed the lowest point ever known for op tions, and cotton tho lowest ever known in any form with the present classifi cation, nml tho accumulation of stocks in both products is discouraging to purchasers for nu advance. Producers are compelled to sell at priocs below Use ordinary cost of raising eropH, and in some western slates there is also a lamentable failure of tho corn crop. Under tho circumstaueos it would he very strange if the demand for manu factured products should be quite ns largo as in oilier years. “Cotton is ono-eightli of a cent low- (r, tho cash price being tho lowest known for forty-five years, and con sidering tho difference iu classifica tion, it is porlmps lower than nt any time in 1849, and estimates that tho crop is morn tlinn 10,000,000 hales aro more commonly credited now than estimates of 8,500,000 wero two months ago. With favorable weather tho yield seems likely to net larger than evor known.

Preparations for Sending 10,000 Sol diers to tho Empire. A cablo dispatch from London says: It can bo stated on authority that the developments of tho pust weok in east ern affairs will lend to concerted action on thu part of the European powers. Oil Monday last, Mr.- N. R. O’Connor, the British minister at Feking, wnrned tho foroigu office by cable that the condition of nffuirs in China was such that the government was not able to guarantee protection to tho foreign residents at the treaty ports, and the missionaries in tho interior of the country. The minister in the same diapatch stuted that the Chinese impe rial council was disorganized, and that tho collnpso of tho government was not looked upon ns an impossibility, and advised thnt instant action ho taken for tho protection of lives and prop erty of British subjects in Chinn. The substnnoo of this dispatch was at once communicated by Lord Rose bery to the governments of France, Russia and Germany, with tbo sugges tion that tbo powers co-operate in in creasing the guards at tho treaty ports and iu'measures for tho protection of tho missionaries. When the cabinet met on Thursday, friendly responses from all tlireo of tho powers pnmed had been received, anil these so thoroughly cleared up tho situation ns to enable the ministers t6 give tho premier and the carl of Kim berly, eecrutary of statu for foreign affairs, a free hand to take whatever steps in the matter they might con sider necessary. No quostiou of inter vention between Japan and China lias arisen, however. it is reported that preparations aro being made to send 10,900 troops to upy the leading treaty ports, and if the present intention's carried out, parliament on reassembling will bo aHkcil to grant n credit of £4,000,000 to cover the expenses of tho expedi tion. Tho offers of mediation between China and Japan arc all widely diver gent. The truth of tho matter is that it is the general belief in official cir cles that tho members of the cabinot are unanimously against any foreign interference, and, so far as Great Britain is concerned, favor allowing the Japanese to reap the full fruits of their victory, uuloss, of course, they seek to injure tho cominoroinl interests of Europe.

Southern War Claims. Deputy Comptroller Mansur, of tho treasury department, bus juHt render ed a decision of espeoial interest in the south. It relates to the claims of churches, school buildings and tho owners of struoturos of that charaoter for thoir use by tho federnl troops as quarters and barraolts during tho war. There are, ns is woll known, a large number of claims pending beforo con gress and in tho departments for payment for tho use of build ings of this character, which wero used by tho federal authorities during tho wnr, sometimes for Btoragu pur poses, sometimes as quarters for troops.

This deoision relates moro especially to buildings in Maryland, Kentucky nnd Missouri.but it is hoped thnt it may open the way to a recognition of the claims from state* further south, many of whioh havo been pending in congress for yenrs, without favorable action. lift IBs Life Was One of Good Deeds ami Full of Honors.
