SHROPSHIRE FARMERS AND AGRICUL- TURAL DEPRESSION. I A special meeting of members of the Shropshire Chamber of Agriculture was held at Shrewsbury, on Saturday, for the purpose of discussing the existing agricultural depression in Shropshire and the pro- posed remedial measures. Mr W. H. Whitaker presided, and there was a good attendance. The discussion was opened by Mr F. Howe, who, in a long speech, dealt with the various causes of agricul- tural depression, and alleged that tenant-farmers were the only sufferers by the depression. He con- cluded by moving, That this Chamber views with alarm the deepening depression in agriculture, and is of opinion that rents must be reduced considerably in order to meet the great fall in prices and that a Land Act, which shall give the tenant a rightto fixity of tenure and judicial rents, and which shall empower the State to lend money at the request of the tenant for the improvement of t-it; farm, is desirable and urgently required. "-Tllii was seconded by Mr Lee. —A discussion, lasting yeveral hours, took place, and before the voting was reached many members had to leave the meeting. The resolution was carried.

-TS I'-?- -NOItTa I AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTS IN NORTH I WALES. In 1894, as in previous years, the Agriculture Department of tha University College of North Wales devoted portions of the grants received from the Carnarvon and Anglesey County Councils to the carryin g out of a series of jieid experiments in seed- ing and manuring in tiieae eonnties, and the results of these are sec fortii ill asreral separate reports pub- lished by .Mr J. l. Brown, Bangor. The experiments have been carried out uuder the direction of Mr Thomas Winter, M.A., and Mr Bryner Joues, F.H.A.S., leeturers in agriculture, and the Rev. John Owen, M.A., formerly assistant agricultural lecturer. Experiments were conducted on the needing of oats, manuring of mangolds, swedes, and pasture land grass and clover seed hay crops, Ac. Many of these experiments are being exLeuded over several years, but importa.nt results have already in a number of cases been attained, especially with regard to manures. One of the most interesting investigations has been to ascertain the best quantity of seed to sow for oats, and so far the results of the pad year are decidedly against the heavy seeding of tJjùt bushels to the acre, a system largely prevailing in Anglesey. The reports are published both iu English and the vernacular.

Holders of spot parcels of wheat were generally firm, and there was a moderate demand at the recent extreme prices for reds, but whites being pleniful were partially id per cental under Friday. Cali fornian options were neglected, not a single transaction being recorded in any position, and quotations in sympathy with red American, were nominally reduced id per cental. Red American futures opened steady and un- altered, but id per cental advance was paid later on, though a reaction subsequently ensued on sellers out- numbering buyers' lower quotations from Paris and New York adversely affecting the market, which closed at its worst or ld to id per cental below last Monday night. East Indian futures ruled quietly steady. MANCHESTER. HAT AND STRAW, Monday.—Hay 4Jd to 5d clover 5Jd to 61(1 straw, wheat 21<1 to 3i oat straw 21d to 3d per stone of 14 lbs.
