■ iQ' Dadgvssylltiad. CTMRU A'R WEINYDDIAETH. Bu trafodaeth frwd ar Ddadgyssylltiad vr Eglwys yn Nghymru yn Nghymanfa. Anni- bvnwyr Caernarfon yr wythnos ddiweddaf. Sylwodd y Cadeirydd (Mr D J Williams), wrth gyflwvno y mater i'r cyfarfod, eu bod i Cymanfa wedi rhoddi arweiniad amlwg i'r gweddill o Gymru gyda'r mater hwn. Eu dyledswydd yn awr ydoedd dal eu gafael yn yr arweiniad a roddwvd ganddynt. Credai y gellid ei gyfiaivnhau pan ddywedai mai trwy eu gwaith hwy fel Oymanfa yn nech- r~u y flwyddyn yn g#Pr. sylw at .y perygl fr Llywodraeth roddi hfflfbio v Mesur hwn y fcvnhyrfwyd y wlad drwyddi. Nid oedd gan- ddynt yr un amcan i lesteirio Mesurau er- eill o eiddo y Llywodraeth, ond credai fod Cymru yn haeddu cael Mesur Dadgyssylltiad bellach. Nid oedd Cynhadledd Caerdydd ond gallu i hawlio fod llais Cymru yn cael svlw, a. gobeithiai ef y byddai y Gvmanfa hono yn cael ei chynrychioli yn gryf yn y gynhadledd oedd i'w chynal yn fuan (cymer- adwyaeth). Yna cynygiodd y Parch. Isaac Jones (Llan ddeiniolen) y penderfyniad) canlynol:—'Fod y Gynhadledd non yn llawenhau wrth ddeall fod Cyd-bwyilgor o'r holl enwadau Ymneill- duol wedi penderfynu cynal Qynhadledd Genedlaethol o Ymneillduwyr i wasgu yn mlaen hawliau Dadgyssylltiad fel pwnc y dylid deddfu arno yn ystod y Senedd bre- senol, ac fod y Gynhadledd hon yn galonog gjoneradwyo y pend3rfyniadau a dynwyd allan gan y pwyllgor gweithiol i ystyriaeth y cyfryw gynhadledd." Dywedodd Mr Jotnes fod Cymru wedi ymladd am ddeugain mlyn- edd dros y pwnc hwn, ao yr cedd ya. siomedlig- aeth fawr iddynt nad oedd y Llywodraeth bresenol, hyd yn hyn, wedi gwnenthur dat- ganiad eglur ar y pwnc. Eili'/yd y cynygiad gan y Cynghorydd John Williams (Bangor). Yr od efe yn dyfod yn fwy argyhoeddedig beunydd y dyl- tnt efelychu y Blaidi Genedlaethol Ysgotig yn eu gwaith o hawlio deddfwriaeth arben- ig i'r wlad hono, ac hefyd y dylent efelychu y Blaid Genedlaethol Wyddelig trwy i bob un o'r 34 aeJod Cymreig rwymo ei hunain i bleidio rhaglon y Blaid Gymraeg. Yr oedd yn anfri ar Gymru, gan yr hon vr oedd 34 o gynryehioliwyr Rhyddfrydol yn'y Senedd. na fuasai y cwestiwn aeddfed hwn yn fwy yn mlaen nag ydyw heddyiv ( cymeradwy- aeth). Os na fyddai i bobl Oymru eu hun- ain t'ynu eu hawliau yn hyn o beth, yna yr oeddynt yn haeddu yr anfri a defld arnynt trwy atnvybyddu eu hiawnderau. Yn Nghyfarfod Blynyddol Qymdeithis Ryddfrviol Mon, dywedodd Mr Ellis Jones- Griffith ei fod yn ofni ei fod ef wedi bod fel "llais yn yr anialwch" can belled ag yr oedd cyn rychiolwyr XVmru yn, y cwestawn o berthynas i Ddadgyssylltiad, ac vr oedd yr hyn a ddvwedodd amser yr Etholiad wedi ei gyflawni. Y Yr oedd y trydydd dvmhor wedi v bcda dim wedi wedi ei wneuthur yn nglyn a'r pwnc. Nid oedd yr aelodau Cymreig yn y Senedd wedi gwneyd cymaint ag a allent i gael addewid gan y Prif Weinidog, ao o d&n yr anigylchiadaj^ hyn yr oedd yn ddv- ledswvdd arbenig ar yr etholwyr i wneyd iddynt iei-Tilo nad ellir gadael y pwnc yn hwy heb ei gymeryd i fyny. Ar gynvgiad y Parch. David Rees, pen- derfynwyd fod cynrychiolwyt. Mon, yn y gynadledd yn Nghaerdydd, i gynyg y pen- derfyniad canlynol: "Ein bod o Idifrif yn gahv ar y Llywodraeth i ddwyn i mewn a phasio mesur Dadgysstylltiad Gymreig, a liyny ddim yn hwyrach na'r bedwaredd dvmhor o'r Weinyddiaeth bresenol." GWRTHDARAWIAD AR Y RHEIL- FFORDD. Cvmerodd damwain ddifrifol le ar linell n- y Great Western yn agos i Casnewydd, M) n- wv, nos Wener, pryd y cafodd un dyn ei ladd a llawer eu hanafu. YTchydig cyn wyth o'r gloeh. daeth tren llwythog o lo i lawr y llinell o Ddyffryn Ebbw, ao_ fel yr oedd yn croesi y brif-linell, daeth tren cyf- lym a adwaenir fel y ''North Express" ar ei draws, gari ei daraw gvda nerth dychryn- Ilyd. Y mae yn wyrthiol na laddwyd llawer iawn rhagor nac un. Cafodd gyrriedydd y tren glo ei ladd yn y man.Drvlliwyd oerbyd cyntaf y tren cyflym y deilohion. Gorjvediai yr ail gerbyd ar hen carnedd maluricm y ddamwain, tua ucrain troedfedd o'r llawr. D>rwedir i yrriedydd y tren ryflym i-neud ei oreu i osgoi y gwrthdarawiad trwy csod y brakes ar waith; ond gan ei fod yn nr.yn- ed mor gyflym, ac fod y peiriant mor drv m, yr oedd hyny yn anmhosibl.

.1. ..ii .i Mr Vaughan Davies ac Heddlu Ceredigion. Aeth Mr. Vaughan Davies i hwyl irfeddu yn Ynadlys Llanilar dydd Gwener. 0 eisiau gwell gwaith, cymerodd fantais o'r achlysur i ddifrio yr heddweis. Ond, fel y gellid disgwyl oddiwrth yr Aelod dros Geredigion, yr oedd llawer iawn mwy o swn nac o syl- wedd yn ei sylwadau. Ofer, hwyrach, fu- asai disgwyl dim amgenach oddiwrth Mr. Vaughan Davies. Pa beth ai symbylodd i wncud y fath ym- csodiad cibddall a llwfraidd ar swyddogion yr Heddlu ? Canys beth ydoedd amcan ym- osodiad Mr. Vaughan Davies, ni lwyddodd ond i ddangos ei ddygn anwybodaeth ei hun. Y mae gan Mr. Vaughan Davies ber- ifaith hawl i feirniadu swyddogion yr Hedd- lu ond disgwyliem i ddyn o'i safle ef i feddu digon o wroldeb moesol i wneud hyny yn y lie priodol, ac i fod yn fwy gofalus o'i ffeithiau. Dywedodd Mr Vaughan Davies na fedrai y Prif Gwnstabl ymddiddan ar bobl yn eu hiaith eu hunain-sef y Gym- raeg. Nid gwir hyn; ohenvydd y mae'r Prif Gwnstabl nid yn unig yn medru siarad yn y Gymraeg ar bobl, ond y inae yn abl i wneud hyny yn anarferol o dda. Ar ba sail y gwnaeth Mr Vaughan Davies yr haer- nad annheg ac anghywir liwnP Da genym tod inir. Vaughan Davies wedi galw sylw at y (Ilffv,, dychmygol hwn; oherwydd riiydd i ni gyileustra o'r newydd i alw sylw at ddi- fiyg tra sylweddol ynddo ef ei hun, sef yw iiyny, ei anallu i siaiad ar bobl y mae yn gynrychioli yn eu hiaith eu hunain. in mha iaith mae Mr Vaughan Davies yn si- arad a pobl sir Aberteifi ? Y Gymraeg ? Na, ni choeliwn fawr. Pwy erioed a glyw- cdd Jlr. Vaughan Davios yn anerch yr eth- olwyr yn hen iaith gyssefin y sir? Gofyn- weh i wyr pybyr Penbryn, ac i wroniaid iJangwyryfon a'r Mynydd Bach. Ydyw, er a ddywed Mr Vaughan Davies, y mae r Prif Gwnstabl yn medru siarad y Gymraeg yn ddilediaith. Rhaid mai bychain iawn iawn ydyw y dyddordeb a gymer Mr Vaughan Dav- ies yn ngwaith y Sir, ynteu dylasai wybod yn well nac haeru nad yw y Prif Gwnstabl yn medra y Gymraeg. Disgwyliem iddo wybod, os nad fel Aelod Seneddol dros y Sir, o leiaf fel aelod o'r Cynghor Sirol, fod medrusrwydd o'r Gymraeg yn amod yn irihenodiad y Prif nid i Mr Vaughan Davies yr ydys i ddiolch am hyny. Yn awr y mae efe yn agor ei lygaid am y tro cyntaf i'r anghenrheidrwydd o hyn; ond darfu i lywrai ofalu am y mater mewn I pryu. Cyfeiriodd Mr. Vaughan Davies hefyd at rnfer y meddwon a'r crwydriaid sydd yn y Sir. Da fvdiai genym weled yr holl wlad yn glir oddiwrth y naill a'r Hall. Ond pa beth, attolwg, y mae Mr Vaughan Davies wedi wneud erioed er dwyn hyn oddiamgylch ? Pa beth v mae. efe wedi wneyd dros ddir- ii-est ? A pha beth y mae efe wedi wneud i gael vmwared o'r crwyd/iaid sydd yn tramwyo ar hyd a lied y wlad? Pa lee crochlefain. yn Llanilar yn erbyn y drygau hyn, tra na wneir dim yn v Senedd i'w diwreiddioP Drygau cyffredinol, ac nid Ueol ydyw y rhain, ac mae eu gwreiddiau yn ymledu o dan hoi! fywyd cymdeithasol y Deyrnas. Y mae yn ofynol, gan hyny, cael gallu mwy na gallu lleol er eu symud, ac yn 11aw y Senedd y mae y gallu hwnw. Dewisodd pobl Sir Aberteifi Mr Vaughan Davies i'w cynrychioli vn y Senedd, ac i gryfhau branch y Llywodraeth Ryddfrvdig. Ond pa fymryn o gymorth vnglyn ag unrhyw Fesur y mae Mr Vaughan Davies erioed wedi roddi i'r Llywodraeth ? Cyd-olygwn yn hollol a Mr Vaughan Davies ei bod yn warth i'r Sir fod dieithr-ddyn fel Mr. Willis-Bund yn gadeirydd i'r Ynadlys Cwarterol- Ni wyddom ond am un gwarth nwy, sef, fod Mr. Vaughan Davies yn cyn- lychioli yr hen sir yn y Senedd.

LLANON. Aucftion.—On Tuesday Mr Evans. Aber- ayron, sold by auction the whole of the crop ot Maesgwyn. The attendance was rather small, owing probably, to the farmers being busy with the harvest. Tenders.—The District Council invited tenders for the construction of a sewer in Water-street. The tenders were to be sent to the Clerk on the 24th. On Wednes- day the Council met to consider the ten- ders received, and decided to accept the lowest, viz., that of Mr. John Davies, Salop, at £ 35.

LLANWENOG. Death.—With deep regret we have to chronicle the death of Mr. John Evans, carpenter, Einon-side which took place on Saturday week, after a long and painful illness. Deceased, who was 47 years of age was one of the most- respected inhabitant? of the district, and he was held in high esteem. He was a faithful member of Brynteg Congregational Chapel. The funeral took place the following Wednesday the place of interment being Llanwenog Churchyard. The Rev. P. H. Lewis, Bryn- teg, officiated at the house, and at the church and graveside by the Rev. Wil- liams, ourate. Much sympathy is felt with the widow and family in their sad bereave- ment.

GLANDYFI. Local Will. Mr Edward Evans, Off Eg- glwysfach, Glandyfi, Cardigan, grocer, who died on the 8th of July last, left estate cf the gross value of £ 1,531, with net person- alty £.516, and probate of his will, dated the 1st of July last, has been granted to his 1 hi other, Mr Wm. Evans, of the same ad- dress. The testator left R200 to his broth- er, the Rev John Evans, £ 170 to his sister, Mary Owen, £ 60 to his brother Hugh. jEoO each to his nieces Elizabeth Ann Le vis and Sarah Mary Humphreys, and he left his freehold estate to his nephew, John Gwilym Evans. He bequeathed £ 50 to the Wes- ley an Chapel at Eglwysfach, £ 50 to the South Wales District Wesleyan Conference, and £ 50 to the South Wales District Home Mission. The resiidue of his esjtaite he left to his said brother William.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES, BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. THE WEATHER. One can always talk about the weather with a farmer without being bored, for there is no claas I so dependent on the weather for all that makes J life worth living, and although the early part of the summer was anything but favourable in nearly all parts of the country the ijay crop was not at all bad; while, since then, the corn has been housed and found to have been a crop far above the average. Pasturage now is not so fresh and green as it was a fortnight ago, but on many farms there is still a liberal quantity of good herbage for sheep and young cattle; and it is a fact that the closing weeks of Sep- tember were especially favourable to the well- being of the ewe flocks. The advantages of a pleasant autumn may be discounted by the scar- city of sheep, but, up to the present, this has not been the case this year. and the ewes have improved every day in condition since the lambs were taken from them; and the general opinion of flockmasters with whom I have mixed for the past few weeks is that the ewes will enter upon the winter in a perfectly fit state to en- » dure the trials there may be in store for them. Often enough when the weather is dry in the fall of the year there is a heavy outlay in pro- viding supplementary feeding, but the present season has been inexpensive so far as the pur- chase of feeding stuffs is concerned. The land has produced sufficient for the immediate re- quirements of the animals, and in most cases it has not been necessary to use the catch crops to meet possible contingencies. A USEFUL LEAFLET. Black rot of cabbages, turnips, &c., is not a very common disease in this country, but as it is exceedingly destructive when it doe6 occur it is well that farmers should be ready to deal effectively with any attack that may be dis- covered. By way of preparing farmers for pos- sible emergencies the Board of Agriculture have issued a leaflet describing the life history of the disease, the manner in which it is spread, and giving such information as is known for pre- venting and remedying it. The disease usually attacks the lower leaves first, the germs enter- ing the substance of the leaf through minute openings situated along the margin or through wounds caused by the punctures of insects, so that where the presence of the disease is sus- pected examination should be made of the lower leaves. The disease may be spread by infected soil being transferred to other fields, by insects, or by means of seed. Infected plants should neither be buried nor used as food for live stock, but should be promptly removed and burnt, or infection of the land will follow sooner or later. Seed can be disinfected before sowing by soak- ing it for fifteen minutes in a solution consisting of one part of corrosive sublimate in 1.000 parts of water, or in a solution of one part of formalin in thirty gallons of water. THE GRAIN MARKET. A writer in the Field says that under the in- fluence' of the sun and dry, crisp atmosphere; the corn has considerably improved in market- ing condition. It is firmer to the hand, and, if anything, better in colour than before, and such changes should certainly tell in favour of the seller when it reaches the market, as much of it must do before long. The grain markets j continue in favour of the producer-that is, in comparison with the experiences of. recent years. It is said that the best samples were reaching 40s. per quarter in London a fortnight ago, but at the country markets quotations were nearer the 30s. level. One reason for the present high rates is said to be the injury of a considerable portion of the Canadian harvest by early frost. If the rumours regarding the Dominion supplies are well founded there should be an additional incentive for British farmers to hold their corn in the meantime. Shortage in the imports from any quarter will tell more strongly in favour of the home grower as the. season advances, and an upward movement in prices is almost a certain result. Unfortunately, too many farmers are in need of ready money, while others may not have suitable facilities for keeping the c-orn that has been thrashed. As far as may be practicable, however, it would seem to be a prudent proceed- ing on the part of the home grower to reserve his wheat and other cereals for the present. THE ROYAL SHOW-GROUND AT NEWCASTLE-ON-TYITE. The ground on which the Royal Show is to be held at Newcastle-on-Tyne next summer has been inspected by Sir Gilbert Greenall and other officials of the Society, and all agree that it forms one of the best sites ever placed at the service of the corrmittee for the purposes of the show. It his already been staked off, and is 111 acres in extent, a matter of twenty acres more than the area which was used in 1887, when the Society last visited Tyneside. Some level- ling has to be done, but not a great deal, and arrangements have been made for that to be done before the spring, so that by the time the show comes round the turf will be nicely settled. Some of the show buildings have already been sent from Lincoln to Newcastle, and thousands of tons of timber are also on the ground ready for use. The question of allotting tickets to subscribers on a basis founded on the amount of their subscriptions has been con- sidered, and offers of special prizes are being re- ceived already. It will be news to many that the judging for the farm prizes which were offered at Lincoln cost the Society J6700. and when at I Newcastle the other day Sir Gilbert Greenall remarked that the whole subject of the farm prizes would have to be considered by the coun- cil before the schedule was issued. THE USE OF ENGLISH Hops. A strong plea on behalf of English hops is made in their annual circular by Messrs. Wests, Jones, and Co., the well-known factors of the Borough. In recording a further reduction in the English acreage they admit that a lowering in the standard of quality of some beer has un- doubtedly caused a reduction in the consumption of English hops, but contend that the present de- pressed state of the industry could not have been brought about had it not been for the un- fair competition of foreign surpluses. The worst feature of the situation is that the English grower is powerless to help himself or his indus- try. Under-production at home is the direct re- sult of over-production abroad; and, according to this firm's estimate of the English yield, it is onlv equal to about seven months' consumption. The Continental crop, as a whole, though not a very heavy one, is considerably larger than last year's, and while American reports point to a large yield it will be substantially less than that of last season, and rumour indicates that the quality may again be indifferent. Some brewers, the circular declares, have shewn an increasing antagonism to paying English growers fair and remunerative prices, and, by the adoption of waiting" tactics in regard to the purchase of English hops, they have done their best to crush this essentially national industry out of existence. We would urge brewers to consider this point seriously," the circular goes on, "and to decide if it would not be wise policy as well as more patriotic to support those who support them. It is not to ioreignsrs they sell their beer, but to their own eo-u:t"yaie:i. and when presently their property is thr.-A toned it will be to their owa countrymen that they will look for support." THE SALE OF DISEASED CATTLE. 1 The Local Government Board has sent the fol- lowing letter to the councils of metropolitan and other boroughs and of urban and rural districts: "I am directed by the Local Government Board to state that they have had under co ideration various representations with respect to the sale for human food of diseased cattle, and especially of cows suffering from tuberculosis or other pasting, disease. The Board understand that it is the practice of some dealers, though aware of the diseased condition of animals coming into their hands, so to dispose of them or of their car- cases that there is risk that they will be used as food for the poorer classes in London and other large towns. The Board have reason to believe that the practice in question obtains to a con- eiderable extent; and accordingly they are de- sirous of drawing the attention of local authori- ties to the matter, in order that they may as far as possible exercise supervision over the cattle in their districts with a view to anticipating, and so averting, possible or intended infringement of the law. With this object, the local authority should instruct such of their officers as are en- sraered in administering the provisions of the jjaines, Cowsnecis, and Jttiiksnops Urders to ob- serve particularly the condition of the cows which come under their notice, and, where any animal is clearly diseased and presumably unfit for food, to take such steps as are practicable to ensure that, in the event of the animal being slaughtered, the carcase is disposed of properly. The Board would also suggest that the sanitary or other suitable officers of the local authority should be instructed to watch closely the cattle markets, slaughter-houses, and knackers yards in the district, with the view of satisfying them- selves that no animal, the condition of which ap- pears to render it unfit for human consumption, is disposed of in such a manner that it is likely to be used for this purpose.

The chairman (Mr. Morris Jones) considered that the committee had dealt fairly, the medical officers, how- ever, thought otherwise. After a lengthy discussion it was decided to re-write to the public vaccinators offering these terms, the Local Government Board to arbitrate in the matter.

LLrFOGYDD 9MAWR YN YSiPAEN. Daw hanesion o'r Yspaen fod llifogydd mawrion wedi c-nn-ileud difrod ofnadwy ar fywyd ac eiddo yn Nhalaeth Malaga. Mae. yno ddeuddeg mil o bobl yn ddigartref. Mae ugeiniau lawer 0 gyrph wedi eu golchi i'r Jan, ac nifer fawr wedi eu hysgubo i'r mor. Mae'r werin bobl wedi syrthio i anobaith, a. rnodiant wrth y miloedd ar hyd heolydd Malaga a threfvdd ereill, rhai o honynt a -chyllyu yn eu drwylaw yn ha-wlio arian er prynu bwyd i'w plant newynog. Dmv hanes am rai wedi myned! yn wall- jijof yn herwydd y cc lledion a_'r profedig- a.ethau sydd wedi eu goddiweddid. Dechreuodd yr Afon Guadalmeama orlifo ei glanau tua canol nos dydd Mawrth yr "thnos ddiweddaf; ac erbyn y boreu yr oedd yr holl wlad o gylch dmas Malaga o dan y dwr. Canwyd clvchau yr egljvysi a saethwyd gynau er rhybuddio v dinasyddion o r per- ygl oedd ar eu goddiweddid. Bu cylfro mawr pan welwyd y llifeiriant gwyllt y!' llanw yr heolydd, ac aeth dychryn y bobl ya fwy pall welsant adeiladau mawrion yn syithio i'r llawr. Ni wyddis eto faith y colledion.

TREGARON A Saturday Booze.— Thomas James, a tramping labourer, late of Pontypridd, appeared before Dr. Lloyd on Monday to answer a charge of being drunk on the 28th September. Sergt. Lewis proved the offence, and the magistrate imposed a fine of 2s. 6d. and costs. Important Sale. On Wednesday next— October 9th-Messrs. E. R. Lloyd and T. L. Harris will hold aij important sale of pedi- gree and well-bred shorthorn cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs, at Llanio Issafj the property of Mr D D Evans, J.P., and that of the late Mr S E Jones, Llanio. Particulars of the sale may be seen in one of our advertis- ing columns. Monthly Market.—A welcomet shower of rain fell on Tuesday whilst business at the market was in full swing. The attendance was fairly large, and the market-field was occupied with a, large stock of cattle of a different quality, mostly under 18 months old. Their condition was in general ex- ceedingly good, showing plenty of fodder that exists on pasture land. It was often remarked that for the time of the year not bfttetr exhibits were ever seen on the field. Buyers were numerous, and good milking cows sold at moderate prices, ranging from £ 8 to £ 17. Special Sessions. At a special sitting of the magistrates on Tuesday, David Roberts, Brongwyn, Pontrhydfendigaid charged John Edwards, Blaengorphen, of the uamo d.s- trict, with assaulting and beating complain- ant at Blaengorphen on the 22nd September The presiding magistrates were Mr. Wm. Jones (in xhe chair), Messrs. D. J. Williams and Wm Owen.—Mr Wm Davies, solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and intimated that he was very pleased to state ti at the parties had come to an arrangement subject to the approval of their worships. Ihey ag- reed TO lot byegones be byegones, and com- mence a new life. He did not think any good would be derived by going into the n-atter as everything had been amicably settled and peace established. The terms were simple, defendant agrees to pay costs complainant has incurred and no more will be heard of this unpleasant matter. Mr Wm Jones said the Bench were very pleased to find that the parties had come to terms in what was apparently an unfortunate mis- ur,derstanding an hoped they would livo a hfA in future MK neighbours should. c=JII BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The ordinary meeting of the Board -was held on Tuesday, Mr Daniel Jenkins (chair- man), presiding. There were also present: Messrs. Evan Lloyd, Blaenpennal, D Davies Gorwydd, Wm Owen, Lledrod Upper, Сll n, Evans, Lledrod Lower, J W Davies, Llan- geitho; John Eyans, Llanbadam; H Ach. Caron Upper; Thomas Jones, Gwnnws; L.

Number of inmates in the House 23, corresponding period last year 21 During the fortnight 30 vagrants were relieved as compared with 41 relieved same period last year. Men More Expensive Than Women. Appearing before the Board with a child in her arms a woman applied on behalf of her father for support.—The Relieving Offi- cer said the man told him he hoped the Guardians would not insist upon his re- turning to his wife who was invalided when they couli not live amicably previous to her rliness.—Replying tyi t Chairman, the daughter said she did not know how much ,-elief would be ample, as men were more expensive to keep than women.—Mr. W. Morgan desired to know something of the man s antecedents, and his pedigree, when Mr Thomas Jones, Gwnnws, curtly replied that he was the son of his mother. Mr. Morgan rebuked Mr. Jones, and said he was a. sufficient physiologist. to know that no male being gave birth. On the pro- position of Mr Oliver, seconded bv Mr D D Evans, it was agreed that in the event of the rwin. 'Peter Davies), not returning ta, his wif that the House be offered him.

CHANCERY. Tea Party. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Lewes, of Ffoerhydygaled. entertained tiie children attending the1 Chancery Council School, to a substantial tea.

tdarkets-Saturilay CATTLE. Doncaster; Saturday.—Again a small show t of cattle, mostly Irish stores, and little trade passing at late rates. Dairy stock up to zC22 and a good trade. A big supply of sheep, but trade was very slow; lambs made 38s. to 43s., ewes 50s. to 64s., gimmers 58s. to Ms. per head. A few Lincoln rams made from five to seven guineas, but the trade has hardly begun. A fair show of pigs; young ones 10s. to 18s., strong stores 30s. per head. Leicester, Saturday.—A large show of milch and in-calf COTS, which made JE14 to £ 21 each; barren cows up to JE13 10s., and polled beasts, which were in good demand. realised £ 14 to R17 per head. In the sheep market lambs made 28s. to 39s., Masham theoves 46s. to 51s. Gd., other sorts 50s. to 58s., and blackfaced ewes 40s., to 55s. PRICE OF BREAD RAISED. The price of flour was raised on Monday throughout the colliery district of Leicester- shire by 2d. per stone, and that of bread by irl. per 41b. loaf, which now costs 5 £ d. An advance to 6d is foreshadowed. Such a high price has not teen reached for many years THE, WEATHER. AND THE CROPS. There has been a break in the weather, but though showers are frequent the rain so far is not sufficient to give farmers with griin crops still to harvest much ground for anxiety. The bright, sunny period, from September 9 up to near the close of last week allowed of the harvest being completed in all counties south of the Trent, wheie the grain has been secured under conditions at one time regarded as impossible, having re- gard to the damp, chilly summer. In the more northerly half of the kinadom the heat was sufficient to bring the corn to maturity, and many thousands acres at one time re- garded as likely to remain green crips aie now ready for the reaper. The fine period has also arrested the potato disease over tho whole-of the country, and it is probable that September will in consequence fre long a memorable month in the annals of agricul- ture. THE GRAIN TRADE. Threshings of new whetit have attained considerable proportions, and a fair idea of the results can now be formed. In mcst counties in the south the crop is below an average but the quality exceeds anticipa- tions. The fine weather is without weaken- ing influence on the markets, as is too often tlio case, and all kinds of wheat are well hEld for full values It is significant that the average of the present cereal year is more in excess of that of 1906 than the average of the latter year was below 1905, and we seem to have entered on a year of good remunera- ive values. Not oiily is English wheat 5s. 7-'d. higher on the average than at. the be- gir ning of the last cereal year, but all grades of foreign are dearer, the difference ranging from 4s. to 10s. A steady inquiry prevails at all the chief markets, and the supplies offered, though generally adequate, are not as yet excessive. With rising prices here shipments irom the exporting countries are mere liberal. Malting barley is slowly com- ing into market, but the supply is by no means heavy, and fine lots fetch full to fancy prices, the tone of trade being en- couraging. New English oats have occa- sionally been offered, on easier terms, but all other sorts are fully as dear, with a steady demand. Maize is in fair demand at generally unchanged rates, though one or two markets report a further improvement in value. Beans and peas are firm at un- changed rates. For flour there is a good steady inquiry at the recently enhanced JJI ABERGAVENNY FAIR, The supitov of stock at the Abergavenny September fair on Wednesday week last was exceptionally good, and was in many re- spects a record. There was a very fine lot of rams, the supply being greater than the demand—Hampshires fetched 5gs., Shrop- snires up to oifgs., and Oxford Down ram lambs about 3gs. Ewes, of which there was a very good supply, ranged from £1 to 55s. The cattle supply was short, yearlings being readily sold at up to R12. The horse trade j was brisk. Good cart horses, which were very scarce, made from £ 40 to R60. Good pit horses sold well, some realising as much as £ 50 each. Hackneys made from £ 28 to 1:30, and colts from £10 to £ 15, although a few made flSO. Ponies sold well at from £ 6 to t7. Mr. Hodge, of Newport, bought 25 pitters at from £30 to £ 40 each, and Mr. Coope, of Newport, bought ten at an aver- age price of £ 25. RHAYADER GREAT SHEEP FAIR. I k Rhayader Great Sheep Fair was held en Thursday, and was a record one as regards the number of Sheep. brought in. A big supply of Radnor and Kerry ewes met a. ready demand at 33s. to 4.5s. each. Radnor and Kerrv lambs (a fair supply) made from 23s. to 30s. There was a good supply of Welsh ewes on sale at prices varying from 22s. to 26s. There was a scaroitv of Welsh lambs, hut good prices were realised. Few Shrop- shires were on sale, but excellent prices were made, ewes fetching from 45s. to 50s. niiieeg. There was a smnll supply, but good demand, for cattle. There were a large number of cart pitrs. on sale, and ruling prices were for eight weeks' old pigs 18s. to 23s. apiece.
