Evidently the Continental nations, except Italy, are not too well disposed towards us at the present moment. The detention of the Guards at Alexandria may be on account of doubts as to the position of affairs in Egypt, but it is generally attributed to the prospect of more acute complications on the Afghan frontier. Of course all these conjectures may prove to be utterly groundless, but if an adverse construction be put upon these movements, the continued reticence on the part of the Government must be held responsible. The re-appearance of the Bosjihore-Egyvtien in its old form, before time has been given to allow the newPress laws in Egypt to be discussed and formulated, cannot be described otherwise than as an unfriendly act on the part of France; and at the same time the opposition by Russia, Germany, Austria and France to the imposition of the .5 per cent tax on the coupons of the Egyptian debt until the proposals for the new £9,000,000 loan have received the acceptance of all the PowerSj'shows the widespread desire prevalent just now to harass England as much as possible. Only a few days ago the prospect was considered peaceful now we are again in the midst of uncertainty. Commercial affairs do not have a chance of reviving. With each gleam of hope we hear ot inquiries in the leading centres which might result in some good business orders bsing placed, but anticipations of an improved status are almost immediately destroyed by some fresh threatened political trouble. Willi such a state of affairs confidence cannot ba restored, and without it there cannot be any real revival of trade. That a disposition on the part of the home trade to improve exists, there can be no question, but export operations are too hazardous, and we must therefore wait for a solution of present troubles before we Cin ; 26,925,000 iaS,553,010 certiflcatea Silver cerliflcates Fractional currency. 103,085,183 6,965,399- 614,208.096 614,268.096 1.879,3116,413 11.712,587 1,881.109,000 Total debt Less cash Items available for reduction of the debt.

Piatt, President of the Express Company, and the defendants are the Lafayette Muncie & Bloomington, the Lake Erie & Western, the Central Trust Company of New York, and George J. McGourkey. The complaint alleges that the Central Trust Company is disqualified from bringing the suit as trustee for the bondholders, because it is also trustee of mortgages on other parts of the consolidated road, and these confiicting interests are so hostile that the Trust Company cannot perform its duty. At Toledo, O., June 4, in the United States Court, Judge Welker ordered tlie sale of tlie Lake Erie & Western Railroad to satisfy a'judgment of $830,000 in favor of G. J. McGourkey. The order cites that the sale must be made within sixty days, and fixes $200,000 as the minimum amount, the sale to be subject to prior mortgages. Lonisvillc & Nashville.

The bondholders have a property that is abundantly sutUcient to protect the face of their bonds, and they will press matters to a conclusion and get the property unless their rights are respected. It might be a fair concession to take a per cent llrst mortgaKo bond, absolutely guarantoad by Lake Shore, in jdaco of tho present bonds but this only on the idea that tho new security would be fully equal in market value to the old. There is very little probability that Lake Shore is going to abandon this property and lose its investment in the stock, for which it paid §0,500,000 in its 7 per cent bonds. There ha' never been a day since the purchase was made when a broad view of Lake Shore's finances and prosiiects would not lead one to conclude that the control of Nickel-Plate, even at the price paid, was a gooil thing for Lake Shore. An effort is usually made to present the Nickel-plate affairs in the worst light possible, whereas an examination of its balance-sheet below on March 3S, or of its earnings given in another paragraph, for the (juarter ending March 31 (less two days), does not fead to a hopeless view of the company's affairs.

Yesterday there was a heavy selling movement in this oroo, in sympathy with Liverpool, under which prices gave way rapidly; but there was a quick rally in the last hoar, the dcchne in the next crop being fully recovered.
