London , Friday Evening . Nothing is now so remarkable about trade as the ' facTSthere is nothing to say of . it . Business is in aU its branches remarkably quiet and steady . The only speculation we hear of , or an . approach to speculation ; arises from an apprehension that the Suets of Russia may not come forward very readily , and a disposition is accordingly evinced to Xf tallow and other Russian produce , or purchase in expectation of these articles becoming dearer . Other ' articles , too , likely to he in increased demand from the probability of war , are quired after , but there is no inclination to speculates Pea , an ot

In spite of the rumours of war , which keep people uneasy , the year , as it advances , promises to be very prosperous . The rumours of warlike proceedings on the Continent have checked business in 'too manujMtunhff dtatrifetB to opine extent . It is beyond doubt that the Continental orders are greatly fewer than they would otherwise have been if the horizon were not so overohaaowed by hostile appearances .
