Owing to the Chilean government having prohibited the exportation of wheat and Hour to the northern ports, the situation is assuming as-suming a serious aspect at Lima, and is being taken into serious consideration by the Peruvian government. The Peruvian consul at Valparaiso has been requested to (five the most authentic information on the suojoct iu order to decide the course to be adopted.
