THE WAR. 
Since the tall of Ardahan, a large part of the 
troops employed there have been sent to Kars 
with a view to the more determined prosecution 
of the siege or the latter. The It ussians have met 
with some successes near that place. There are 
conflicting reports as to the progress of the insur¬ 
rection in tho Caucasus. The attack on Batoum 
has been renewed. Koumania has declared her¬ 
self independent of, and proclaimed war with 
Turkey, servlyi Is also said to bo preparing to 
side with Russia. Some Russian soldiers in tho 
night blew up with torpedoes a Turkish Iron clad 
in the Danube. The feat was a daring ouc. 
Large masses of Russian troops are moving west* 
wardly seemingly with the Intention ot crowing 
the Danube into the Tlmok valley, and so turn 
the flank of the Balkan line of defence, leaving 
the fortress of Wldden and its garrison in the 
rear. In Constantinople the Sofins, who are the 
most fanatical and Lnrtuetithileft8t©,are turbulent 
and fears or a new revolution are entertained. A 
state of siege has been proclaimed there. The 
attitude of other nations towards the combat- 
tants has not materially changed since our last 
report. 
THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
Nkw York, Saturday, May 20, Lb77. 
It cans and Peas.— Tho local demand for beans is 
moderate, but not dull for warm weather. Choice 
mediums are very firm at the quotations; under 
grades can lie bo unfit at the Inside rates. Marrows 
still have a limited sale for export. We may say 
that for the standard sorts h inters express contl- 
dence, as the supply hurts arid to arrive will have to 
be economically haodlml to laal the season throuifD, 
unless prices beoulUd loo tight to allow an ordinary 
outlet. Kidney and pea beans are quiet, and in the 
small sales buyers are tavoiod. Canadian peas are 
nominal at $1.10 in bulk and liu/id. Green pens lire

riiug In good unlfonu quality ; In fact we seldom see 
creameries and pails so close to the rates of lull I and 
Welsh tutu. Western butter is largely included in 
the receipts, and of course draws a good deal of tho 
ordinary or market trade, whon the Lop rates ot Still e

COUNTRY CHEESE MARKET. 
LITTLE Falls, N. Y., May 20,1877. 
There has been a backward movement in the mar¬ 
ket this week, and while prices fur farm dairy c.heose 
have been without material change those for factor¬ 
ies have fallen rdf about one cent per pound from lust 
week. The delivery of fbrm dairy cheese waa be¬ 
tween three and four hundred boxes and prices 
ranged from H0l4Wc., only one or two lota getting 
(lie last figure. 
A large number of fiuitorymen were In the market 
and the offerings were estimated at about8JW0 boxes 
of wlueh upward ol 4.00IJ Changed hands. Owing to 
the decline in prices a portion of the offerings was 
sent forward on commission and some factories con¬ 
cluded to hold for another week. 
Bales were made ut from 13 >a@1S:Vo. the bulk going 
at 13!^c. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed 
by dairymen ut tlin result of tbe trade, the expecta¬ 
tion being that the previous week’s prices would be 
maintained or at least that 151*0. would be reached. 
Butter Is now coming forward only In limited 
quantities, and sale* this wc.ok have ranged at from 
18022c.. according tn quality. The wet weather 
during tbe first part of the week has brought for¬ 
ward vegetation rapidly and the herds have been 
turned to pasture and arc reported to be iuuking an 
abundant yield of milk.
