THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
I 
r eady ear to the plausible sophistries of the Com¬ 
mune. So many are the socialists In Berlin that 
since the crime of Hocclel, three weeks ago, 20,000 
of them publicly followed to the grave the corpse 
ol Drentel, one of their leaders. Home days since 
the Government Introduced a bill Into the Reich¬ 
stag enforcing severe measures against them, 
but the first clause was so badly defeated by 
a union of the Radicals, Liberals and Ultramou- 
tanes, that the Government withdrew the whole 
of It. If reintroduced after this second outrage, It 
will stand a better chance of passing. 
“ It Is the unexpected that happens” Is one of 
those French paradoxes that turn out true far 
more frequently than one expects, and this is 
very likely to be the case with regard to the 
peaceful Issue of the European complications. 
Invitations to the long-deferred and often-de- 
spalred-of Congress have been Issued by Bis¬ 
marck and accepted by all the Powers interested, 
and the meeting will take place at Berlin on or 
about the 15r.h Inst. Count SchouvalolT, the 
Russian ambassador to England, who will rep¬ 
resent Russia, started yesterday Tor St. Peters- 
burgh to receive dual Instructions. Lords Bea- 
consileld, Salisbury and Odo Russel will represent 
England, which may well be proud of the results 
of her energy and determined diplomacy. Nearly 
all the conditions to be afllcmed at the Cougress 
are already agreed upon, and It Is expected to 
hold only a few sessions. Peace across the At¬ 
lantic will be rather a bad thing for many of our 
farmers, who have planted wheat extensively 
In the expectation of European warfare affording 
them a profitable market; but for the sake of 
Christianity and humanity all should rejoice at 
the prospect that Europe will escape the horrors 
of so bloody a war as that whlcb has been 
threatening It, would certainly prove. 
On Saturday forenoon three German Iron-clad 
war-vesselB, the Konlg Wilhelm, the Prussen and 
t.ho Grosser Kurfurst were steaming off Folkes¬ 
tone In the English Channel, when the last, chang¬ 
ing her course to avoid a passing bark, was run 
Into by the first and Bank In a few minutes— 
cause of accident, the stearlng gear out of order, 
01 her crew about 300 were lost, and 210 saved. 
The Konlg Wilhelm put into Dover with her prow 
smashed In, and the rorward bulkheads full of 
water. Herman. 
THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS. 
New Yore, Saturday, June 1,1878. 
BEANS AND Peas.—R ecent free receipts of beans 
have not included a fair proportion of mediums, and 
that grade Ik firm with moderate salon. Marrows 
Still lack steady Cuban business and our quotations 
are very full. Kino pen beans roulrt be more largely 
used, but they are noticeably as scant as they have 
been for sevoral seasons. While kidneys sympa¬ 
thise with Llm lull In marrows and prices are ex¬ 
treme. lied kidneys have run down to a few small 
lots in t wo or three hands, and prices are firm at the 
advance. Black beans quiet. Green peas "toady for 
good quality at 1103(4110. Canadian field peas, In 
hulk and bond, easier; f'JtJOiSOo. Southern B. E.

Receipts of beans pant week, 5,790 bush. Exports 
of beans, 840 bbls. 
BirrrtiK.—Regardless or the low prices given in 
our last another decline Is to be noted, tty Tuesday 
lust dealers In Stale found they could not cope with 
sellers of Western, and at the close of a week which 
has hud the drawback of a holiday and several rainy 
da.vp, they seem tp have resigned the contest. At 
least, we bear none of them advocating further free 
receipts of Slate after attempting to murk down 
rates to mutch figures tor Western. The mam cause 
ol lower prices arises from the very liberal receipts 
of Western, and us the usctul average quality of It 
diminishes tlm late precedence held by Slate In that 
respect, it is likely that Western w ill keep tin; load 
until hot weather again advances llui merit of State. 
No line, of dealers, however, can (cnl much enconr. 
ngement In the style of trade now current. Notwith¬ 
standing the low rates of Western a good many of 
the olf grades, such as common factory and milled 
stock, have to go into store. A surplus of tins kind 
always gives wholesale nr export buyers more or less 
tu dependence.

Cheese. —With the receipts of the country advi¬ 
ces early in the week, the market here was com¬ 
pletely upset. Shippers were very Indifferent, and 
the supplies were plhng in beyond all precedent, for 
tills season of llte year. Prices looked sharply at 
one time ; funey factories worn nbtalnod as low as 
V'l.'e., and the other grades relatively lower and diffi¬ 
cult to sell. Towards the close trade became butter 
in the fancy lots.and 8 generally made, and for ex¬ 
ceptional iolsHNc. The shipments for the week are

A severe hindrance to sales occurs through the

are forced to hasten sales—a fact which always gives 
Independence to buyers.
