LOCAL I'LNANUE. I [BY ou FINANCIAL EDITOR.] CARDIFF, WEDXKSDAY. The markets to-day have been fairly active, anu jjenerjiUy prices lla'1' moved upwards. In rails, perhaps, taking the hctvy lines, there bo" beeu a slight weakness, but Barry's have been done at 26—the top quotation. Tatfs are rather weak, but Rhomldas and ale of Ulamor- gaus maintained tiieir position. One particu- lar feature 111 this market is the advance in pitferential and debenture stock, those of the UambriaJi, Alexandra, and Midland making a distinct advance. It \vaa only a few days ago that we notified an improvement in the prices obtainable for Cardiff and Newport Gas Stocks. Possibly shareholders and the ouuide public who had an incJillatlOn to invest in securities of this class were deterred by the introduction of the electric light. Whatever that illuminact may prove to be in the future, the experience at Cardiff appears to have sent up gas stocks to a point which they have never before reached. Cardiff 4,A" Ten per Cent Stock is now worth 209, and, at this figure there is none to be obtained. The market prove" that if tJw works had been purchased by the l'Orpol"dotion four years ago at the price agreed upon between a sub-committee and the company, the ratepayers would have reaped a substantial advantage- Electric lighting is apparently necessary, but in a town like Cardiff the gas company have nothing to fear from it. Bank of Wales shares li?o been a fairly good market during the last week, the pri' j varying from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per £10 paid, with 1 tho liability of an equal amount. Many in- quiries have bœu made with reference to the time by which the liquidators will be able to Pr4e?ent a statement to tho shareholde,? of this unfortunate company. After making inquiries we find that those who are interested in the winding up of the company are doing their level best for the benefit of the shareholders, but it is not likely that any balance-sheet can be presented for at least six months. In Colliery Shares South Wales ''B'e," whioh yield a dividend of 10 per cent., have advanced J, and Ehbw Vales are in fairly strou demand, with a prospect f ri?.. wil \hœIi.t('I\an department Barry Graving Dock Shares have improved, and at the present quotation are worth consideration Windsors are fairly strong on the purchase by Mordey. Carney, and Co., but investors are not inclined to go beyond 13!, One of the principal features in this market ia the sudden rise in the ordinary shares or the Cardiff Milling Company (Limited) (late James Tucker, Limited). These shares, which about a fort- night ago were transferred at 1, were to-day dealt in at 2 9-16, and it is probable that a further improvement will take place. When the grain was at its worst, the oompanv were able to make a profit out of their milis, and now the prices have improves they are likely to recoup themselves to some extent for the losses which they sustained during the last two or three years. The extent to which even a small rise in the value of grain may effect a company of this description will be appreciated when we state that only last week one cargo on its arrival at Cardiff wa. worth £4,000 more than when it was despatched. The changes which have taken place in the quotations to-day are as follow:—Rise Cam- brian No. 1 Four ner Cent. Debentures 2 to 79 -80, ditto No, 2 1 to 4"-6, Alexandra Bock and Railway Debentures 2{ to 102-5, Midland Three per Cent. "Debentures 1 to 108-10, Car- diff "A" Ten per Cent.

The Barry receipts last week, owing, of course, to tho stormy weather which prevented the arrival of steamers, only amounted to £ 5.124. compared with 37,434 in the correspond- ing period of laat W(ll<L the dnninution being £2,310 Th., decrease IIIlIst be placed under thr headings of mÎupraI and dock dUBs. the fornur beintr £ 1,347 and the latter £ 1.202 less than in 1893. The increase, however, on the ourrent balf,year is £23,627 The Call1[¡iall Railways Company ishows an increase of £240 on the week «nd £3,648 on the present half-year. The Cardif fContract Coinpanv (Limited) wa" registered on the 14th inst. with a capital of £ 10.000 in Cl i. on or Tnr. ticipate in any financial, commercial, mer-, raC1.tiJe, industrial, manufacturing, minin¡¡-, and other businesses.

Registered by VnJlanoe, Birkbeok, and Bar- nard, Lombard-street, E. C Messrs. Charles Massy and Co. in their weekly report state; "There is but little change in IkBnk Shares. Several transactions have taken place in National of Wales at prices between 2s. 6d. and 3s. 6d., but there is no particular feature to note. There hH8 again been considerable activity in Rhymney Iron Shares, a large number of the Old changing hand. at from 33" to 33s. 6d., while the New are rather weaker at 14s. to 14s. 6d. Tredegar Irons have been in demand, and business has taken place at prices from 5 to 51., Barry Ordinary has improved on the announcement that there is to be a new issue of preference stock to be allotted to ordinary stockholders. The. market leaves off firm at,234-5. Rhymney has also been an active market, and h'a' improved to 208-10, with a large number of transactions recorded between these figures. The announce- ment that the directors have embodied in their Bill notice of their intention to apply for powers to split the ordinary stock into preferred and deferred was made late lasfc evening, alld ae yet it does not seem to be generally known. With the increased traffics there ought to be a con- tinued advance in the price of the stock. Taff stock liig ruled doll, and is now quoted 80—1. The traffic this week is £ 12.045, compared with £16,L66 for the eorresixmding week last year, showing a decrease of £4021, and reducing the total increase for the present half-year to £ 21,860. Rhondda and Swansea Bay Shares have changed hands at 84, while the Preference are quoted lig—J, and the Debentures 117—18. Spillere Ordinary Shares have improved to 10- and Tucker to 28—f. The improvement is said to be due to a rise in the (-orn m. rket It appears from the following letter, signed "An Investor," that some of the prolines of some .)f the brokers at Cardiff are called into question. We publish the letter and invite correspondence: —"Would von or one of vonr financial rt"'adf>1' fliw> mo an opinion as to whether it is compatible with the business of a «tock and share "broker, advertising as suoh, that he should be a stock and share dealer as well?

DIVORCE DECREE I RESCINDED. In the Divaroe Division on Wednesday the )resident gave his decision in the case of rhurehward v. Churchward. This wae a case in which Air. John S. Churchward, an accoun- tant, had obtained a decree nisi for the disso- lution of his marriage, and the Queen's Proctor intervened, alleging that there had been collu- sion, because the parties had come to an agree- ment where b y the wife, out of her separate estate, 'f¡ provide for the oPi:=af the child of the marriage, in consideration of the husband prosecuting his suit for a. divorce. —It was contended that there had been no col- lusion, as the facte were not concealed from the court, and petitioner had a legitimate claim for divorce, and there wM no attempt to de, ceive the c..rt.-Sir Francis eame to the con- clusion that, as the initiation of the suit Was procured, and its result a.? to cots and daages proe ?7d?y agreement, tnat mmt be held to be collusion. The Queen's Proctor, therefore, suc- ceeded, and the decree nisi v" ld be rescinded. There was no order as to cooc-a.

INVENTORS' PRIZE COMPE- TITION. CASH PRIZES. I The large number of applications for parti- culars of our Invention Com ¡tion tht have come in points to the r.1 fact th.t the competition b? excited the interest of a g..t mallY rMrlers, W. are g-tifl"d tbat the idX ? '-n so readily taken up, and -t "P%t' the pl1I1'9 of &misting to br;ng f.??d a few good novelties later on. There is one point, and a rather important one, tb&t we would like to im press on com- petitors—Do not, in striving after originid't lose sight of accepted PrineiPl- -d t,g; prejudices. I,- lih. most ?u"sdul inventions are no* neoeesarily those exhibiting great orlgnlity- they are, more often than not, improvements on existing appliances. A trifling improvement in the form or mechanism of siome commonplace artiole, rendering it more convenient or effective, and not involving any great change in the manu faoture of the artiole, is more likely to con- stitute a successful patent, pecuniarily, than invention which necessitates the special training of artificers to make it for the market. Trade prejudice must also be taken into awount. A manufacturer is often slow to recognise the merits of an invention that threatens to upl"'t a section of his trade, anrl the difficulty that an inventor usually ex, periences in getting even a mode! properly- made can be attributed only to the reluctance of manufacturers to embark on new pru- oaspes—unless thev are directly interested. Improvements on the other hand arc cnucii more readily taken up. The changes in forma of tools, prooesBes, Ac., are generally but slight, and the improvement in the article will at once enhance the trade of the maker who initiates it. It is, therefore, the improve- ment form of invention that the inventor should first turn his attention to. As a striking example of a suooeesful inven- tion of this nature, we may point to the gi.lot end of the common wmw, ? very -,npl. thing, almost trivial as an invention, yet it is the source from which an eminent living statesman derives his princely income. Again, the rubber tip wt the end of a lead pencil is proverbial alm08t ae a profitable inventioo-it was worth oertainlv over £ 20.000. In view of the large oroSts that oan be made from simple inventions, we have deoided to stimulate the inventive faculty in our readers by offering CASH PRIZES for the best inventiom in given subjects. It must be thoroughly understood at the outset that we are seeking no direot gain through this Com, petition for ourselves. The inventions will remain at all times the sole nroperty of the inventors, aud we shall, in addition to the prizes we are offering, assist by every means that lies in our power to bring good inven- tioTUI to a. successful issue commercially. We shall consider ourselves amply repaid if this Competition is instrumental in plaoing on the market poood ideu, to the benefit of the originators as well as of the general public. We offer a FIRST PRIZE OF £ 10 IN CASH For the best invention ot some axiioie pra- taining to the desk or writing table such u pens, penoils, inkwells, pen wiper-, rulers paper cutters, erasers, paper weights, Not- ting pads, slopes, desks, or any other ap- plianoe tht can be used on the offiee desk or hmne writing-table. We offer I STTOOND PRIZE OF JE5 IN CASH For the best invention for some culinary artiole, that is, an article used in the prepara- tion or cooking of food, such as saucepans, frving pans, kettles, stewpans. gridirons, pots and rans, egg beaters and boilw. nins. cutting boards. po$*TY-m-k ing, boards, ?!M. m-. knives or forks or -Y art'°> whatever wrt?ninfr to the k'tchm and ??"?*<t in the course of ??oMn? op<-rahont. or pre- teri!W food for -kinz.

It will be observed that in the widr. raolfe of subjects quoted above there is ample .eope for the inventive efforts of our ladv readers as well a1' those of the sterner sex. Recent statistics show that women are I"1T>ic!lv coming to the front. inventors, especially in con- nection with matters of feminine intemt, and we desire to give all chance of com- peting We will in draw attention to the important fact "that all inventions will remain the exclusive property of the respective com- petitors. and that, although onlv three com- oet.itor« can be priae-winners. we shall use everv effort to bring forward inventions of merit, whether they boo the actual prize- winners or not All inventions must be new, and not pro- tec* patented before the date of this issu* uid. in order to safearuard the pro- prietary righta of the Inventors, all inventions must ho protected or patented before being "lijrihle for competition. With a view to a.I-ting competitors so far a* we can, we have arranged specif' terms whereby the necessary protection or patent may be obtained at conRiderablv reduced charges.

DILAPIDATED DWELLINGS AT NEWPORT. OWNERS SUMMONED BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. An insight into how tfie poor live was ol* tained during the hearing of a number of C3<!e8 at Newport Police-court on Wednesday, in which owners of --rt, were ,nd ?t tliCrn=c:rs off J:%r:ti .f;mî:U: their premises to be in such a condition u to be a nuisance.—A house in Fothergill-street, owned bv Messrs. Hanucook, waa described by the medical oiffcer of health m being in a most dilapidated condition, and dangerous to the health of the pul>lie. It was inhabited by four families, but ilie total rent was only 8s. 6d. per week. the premie were in a filthy condition, and almost uninhabitable. In one room, where a man. named Fisher, hid wife, and three children 'lived, the content* of an adjoining closet soaked through the walls. The Town-clerk stated that Messrs. Handcock had promised to carry out the repairs forth- with. The Bench inflicted a fine of 10s. aad oosta, with a continuing penalty of 10s- pw day. to start on Monday next, if the work waa not completed by then.—in another cMe Mr. John Nicholls, baker, the owner of 25, Kings- parade, waa summoned. The medical officer described the premises a* miserably dilapi- dated. Thomas Smith, with his wife and five children, occupied two rooms, but in wefe weather they were unable to sleep in the upper room because of the leakages in the roof. Another man, with his wife and seven chil- dren. occupied three wre.tched rooms. There was hardly any roof to the building, the stairs were unsaie, 2tnd the do,ets were filthy. lir. Nicholls said the families had not in the house through the back, and he consented to C:OF6 the premises. The Bench accordingly made ;in order to this effect, and ordered Mr. Nicholls to pay the cost:«.—Messrs. T. D. and F. J. Roberts were summoned in respect to a house, 24, Kine's-parade, but the case fell through on account of a technical omission.
