HCSIA'fl FINANCE.
In an editorial on the Russian finance the
Times says : "Russia is living largely on
capital. Under government emotions the
people arc becoming loss able tojpay. An
extension of territory bungs no relief to the
exchequer. That condition of thines must
terminate in a smash. English investors will

THE FEELING IN RCBSIA.
Sr. PBTERSimnn. April 10. The morning
newspapers , with few exception ? , m comment
ing on the recent battle between the Russians
and Afghans , on the Kushk river , are very
bellicose- their utterances nhd charge Karl
Dufforin , viceroy of India , a ad Kir Peter
Lumsden , British commissioner , with provok
ing war by advising the Afghans to advance
on Pulikhisti , which the 3riti ! < h officials
know wag a part of the Runnlan territory
The Afghans , they say , nlio fully understood
that Puliknisti was Russian territory , and
never woul I have attempted or advanced
their pickets to that point unless strongly
urged to do so by British officials. The war
party fully endorse the assertions of the < e
, newspapers and are very pugnacioLB over af-
r fairs. The .Tournnl states tbnt ( lOLeralKum-
oroll's retit'it within hu lines after driving
off thtj Afghans Indicates tbo Russian attack
was canned by the hostile ) actf of tbo Afghan * .
Thus affairs iwbiirae a lees serious aspect , and
the battle becomes merely an accidental con
flict difficult to avoid , considering the ex
tremely strained condition of nffiirs and the
proximitv of the Russian and Afghan out
posts. Tho.lournai hopes the conflict wi1 !
not interfere with the negotiations now in
progress between Knglnnd and Russia.

The whole aspect is changed. There will

DEPARTMENT OP AGRICULTURE.
Reports of April to tho"d'partinent of agri-
cultuie indicate a redaction of over ten per
cent of last year's area of winter wheat. The
aggregate shortage amounts , to 3,000,000

On the present showing tbe reduction of the
yield is on the bails of last year's production ,
and promises to be nearly < 40,000,000 bushels ,
on account of tbe reduced area , and more than
60,000,000 from winter-killing and low vitali

reliability of present appearances , and on the
