The American people are (oo prone to jump at conclusions, nntl to proceed instantly to net upon tlu-m, widioui careful verification ot' their correct- ! ncss. Once convinced that tln-y arc right, individually and collectively, i they no longer stop to wci jh opinions, , or co.isider reasonable causes! of ! doubt. 1 The intell igenee of the actual coin- I m'neement of hostilities in Italy af fords the latest illustrat ion of litis na tional propensity. No sooner had the news flashed over the electric wire I that the Austrian had crossed the ; Ticinoand that the French army was ! pouring into Genoa and pushing up the ascent of the Alps, that it brisk j speculative demand sprung up in our I markets for breads! nil's, more partic- : ularly lor (hair, ihis article having' risen in price, in three days, ono dol lar per barrel. The conclusioii upon which this movement was based, and to which ! the American mind arrived almost by instinct, was without doubt, one well founded, viz: That a war in Europe must ultimately produce a European j demand for provisions. But opera- : tors, in their eagerness to grasp the profits which glittered tempi itigly in the distance, did not stop to examine the actual condition of the markets, and to calculate how much time might elapse before the new demand would be felt on this side, of the At lantic. Had this been done, the im. pulsiveness of action might have been checked by the conviction, that upon the home rather than tin: for eign market speculators in breadstulfs would be compelled to rely for some time for profits. Just previous to the news I hat caused the sudden advance to which allusion has been made, the prices of flour here were such that importations could be made with profit from Eu rope to New York and Baltimore on ! contract, up to the 1st of July, at low er rates than those articles then com manded in that market. It has been estimated that when' and flour must advance li.'ly per cent in Liverpool before an export demand would bo created from America to I that port, the calculation being based j upon the ruling rates since. I During the present year our wheat, i flour and corn meal have been almost I Ijterally shut out of the markets of, England. Not one eighth of the amount exported in either of the last ' three years, has been shipped during I the corresponding months of Ho!), j The cxpoitsof llour have been but ! 65,758, against ?81,3H barrels in 18G8, and 015,800 bushels of w heat, against 3,t08,!)70 for that year. It 4oannot but appear from these facis, fhat if (ho advance in the price of this staple was due to an expectation of an immediate foreign demand, it was lie result of a hopeful impulse rather fhan of reflection. The declaration of war, it is true, affecte l the market of Hour in Eng land much as it influenced it in this country.w But that country is nearer the seat of war, and mqst sooner be influenced by its waste and the with drawal of husbandmen from thmr oi?. I cupation. England, France, Austria. Holland, Sardinia and Prussia are compelled in time of peace to import grain from abroad for their domestic supply, and the complication of the pminous struggle might speedily inter rupt communication with Russia, from whence a considerable amount in de rived by each of these nations. " The markets of the CniteJ States for breads! ufiii can only be expected fo feci legitimately the natural influ ence of the present disturbed condi tion of the continent, when the sup ply notv in European granaries has been exhausted without an income from the now crops equal to the de mand. Such consequence are doubt less sure to follow any considerable or proiraeted war. It must ultimate ly raise prices t.bove their present standard; but considerable lime may bo expected to elapse before such a result is witnessed. Our own pro. ductioti has lately not largely excee ded t ho demand ol home consump tion. The home market for breads! nil's before breaking out of hostilities, or the serious apprehensions of such n result, indicated no great surplus of production that would hear transpor tation far from the harvest field. In deed , for two successive years I In crops of the West were bad. This failure has birn one of the causes of tho financial embarrassment of the great panic still weighing down its i energies and darkening its prospects, It has not recovered from that shock, nor will it until the golden grain shall yield an hundred fold what has been lately garnered. There may be reason, therefore, in the condition of affairs at home for an advance in the price of Hour; yet the present prospect of the incoming har vest, is so favorable to extraordinarv 1 abundance that it would, seem lo place the late improvement in prices entire ly upon tht! expected conflict of the nations of Europe. While we watch with intelligence and interest tho progress of affairs I abroad it. would be well to rxcrcisc caution in not anticipating events. If the blaze of battle burns long in j the O il Woi Id, .such a convulsion will take place as bus been seldom v. it- ; nessed by our race, and America will ' become the granary of the nations. i lu our position of neutrality and peace ; intermeddling with no controversy, and enduring no inler.'crenee the j disasters of the Old World must pour ' a tide of prosperity upon us, such as will give a new impetus to a!l our industrial enterprises, and enable us to consolidate and exlen 1 our iuila encn over the whole of this conduct, j Sib nt I y we are growing into an im portance that cannot but be felt in j Europe itself becoming, while the! nations tire si rug-ding for aggrandize- 1 incur, a balance of puAcrin l!ie great system of civilized governments, that j will ali'cel ihe relations ol ihosa who ; would even now ignore our existence. x L"t us ,i void rash and il grounded speculation, so as to realize all the advantages which must li-nv from one posilioti.
