TRADE REPORTS. CARDIFF. During the past woek a. quiet feeling has peiyaded the steam ooal trade, and there is an entire absence of that buoyancy which was so nmrked a short time ago. The primary cause of the depression ia a continued scarcity of tonnage, coupled with the fact that exporters holding heavy e.i.f. contracts are unwilling to pay the high freights now ruling, particularly for ports in the Mediterranean. As a conse- quence, the supply of steam coal is in excess of the demand, and, as stocks are steadily increas- ing, concessions have been made to buyers taking immediate delivery. On Saturday best quality was quoted from 10s 9d to lis, seconds ranged from 10s 3d to 10s 6d, and drys from 9s 9d to 10s 3d per ton. There was a better inquiry for smalls. and prices had a stiffening tendency. Best qualities ranged from 5s 6d to 5s 9d, seconds 4s 9<1 to 5s 3d, and inferior sorts from 4s 6d per ton f.o. b. The demand for Monmouthshire semi-bitwninou8 rod was again quiet. Wes- tern Valleys ranged from 93 ód to 98 9d, and Eastern Valleys 9s to 98 3d per ton f.o.b. Patent fuel quotations were unaltered. Best brands were from 10s 6d to 10s 7 £ d, seconds 10s to 10s 3d per ton í. o. b. Owing to the mild weather the bituminous coal market was easier. Best households were quoted at 10s 6d to lis, No. 3 Rhondda large lis, brush 9s 6d to !:18 9d. and small 8s 3d to 8s 6d No. 2 Rhondda large 8s 6d to 9s, through and through 7s to 7s 3d, and small 5s to 5s 3d per ton f.o.b. The coke trade maintained a firm tone. Special foundry was quoted at 22s, best washed foundry 19s to 19s 6d, foundry 17s 3d to 176 6d, and furnace 14s 6d to 16s fed per ton f.o.b. Pitwood was in good demand at 16s 3d per ton ex-ship. Iron ore prices were:—Rubio 14s 6d to 14s 9d and Tafna 14s per ton c.i.f. The finished iron and steel trade continues to display considerable activity. The demand for steel rails, billets, bars, and small goods is unabated, and the prices of all local makes are maintained. Outward steam chartering on Saturday was moderately active, and an average number of fixtures were reported. Rates for the Mediterranean were fairly well maintained, and the same may be eaid of South American and Eastern freights, while ooaeting a.nd Bay freights under- went no material alteration. SWANSEA. An average amount of trade was done during the past week, and on the whole the returns are favourable, particularly in the im- port trade, which displays an increase of 5,000 tons oexmparjed with the same week last year. In the exports, the shipments of coal were less, but the patent fuel trade maintains dte im- provement observable last month. 'i he tin- plate exports also continue to grow larger, and there is a. resumption of the business of tin- plates being brought here by water from up and down Channel ports for traniXiipment to the liners, once a considerable traffic. The ghipments in the week are 19,000 boxes more than the same week last year, but stocks have, however, increased 28,165 boxes, the receipts from the works being larger. The Exeter City is now loading for New York and the 1Y»noarvjlle for Singapore, whilst steamers due to load next week include:—Montauk and Kansas City for New York, City of Dortmund for Hamburg, and Clara for Nantes and Bordeaux. The tin- plate market maintains an improved tone, and prioes are steady. Imports, 15,771 tons; ex- ports, 42,401 tons, and total trade, 58.172 tons, compared with 61,712 tons the previous we*k and 55,364 tons the corresponding week. Shipments of coal, 28,811 tons; patent fuel, 7,830 tons, and tin-plates and general goods 5,760 tons. the latter comprising 300 tons for France, 240 tons for Portugal, 300 tons for Ger- many, 2,060 tons for Italy. 100 tons for New York, 400 tons for Philadelphia, and 2,360 tons for home ports. Shipments of tin-plates 45,239 boxes, and receipts from works 54,655 boxes. Stocks in the dock warehouses and v.°ns 192,055 boxes, compared with 182,639 boxes this day week and 163,890 boxes at this date last year. Imports.—Pig iron 635 tons, tin-plates 253, iron ore 4,694, calamine 2,400. iron pyrites 1,300, copper precipitate 1,308, copper 400, copper ore 36, building material 70, pitch 260, arsenic 102. pitwood 1,625, grain 1,112, flour 324, sundries 1,252. Exports.—Coal 28,811 tons, patent fuel 7,830 tons- and tin-plates and general merchandise 5,760. BRITON FERRY. Daring the past week twenty mills were in full operation at the various tin-plate works in this district, and the finishing departments at the Vernon, Villiers, Batrlan Bay, Gwalia, and Earlswood Works were also fully emploved. The make of steel bar art the Briton Ferry Steelworks and also at the Albion Steel- works reached the average, ana the output of hematite pig at the Briton Ferry Works was very satisfactory. 1 ■ SWANSEA VALLEY. The bar-mill at Messrs. Wright and Butler's (Landore) which was sot goinsr a fortnight ago is giving every saitrisfaction. Hitherto one shift only has been at work, but last week a double turn was employed, a.nd several of the unemployed at Morriston were put on. Afe Owmb-Tla the whole concern 1(1 going well, and the Landore Tin-plate and Millbrook Steel and Engineering eeta.blisiwn«i.ts are fully employed. Vivian's Chemical Works is receiving a fair share of the limited deroaad for th-e acid used at the neighbouring tinworlcs. The dispute ait the Morriston Work. betwemi Mr. Thomas Bowen and the rubbing girls, which culminated in the latter striking last Monday, was on Thursday amicably arranged. The Upper Forest millmen enter to-day (Monday) on their eleventh week of idle- wes, the Worcester Works on the sixteenth month of stoppage, and the steel- workers on their seventh week, and there are no hopes of an early re-opening of any of these works. The relief committee, thanks to the "Western Mail," were enabled to payout over j676 in relief on Thursday last, but the funds are still inadequate to do this weekly. Pomtar- dawe Steel and Tin-plate Works are going quite briskly. Since the fatality to the pitmen at the Gwern Pit, Llansaanlet, on Wednesday pump- ing operations have been discontinued, and the water now in the pit is several yards higher than when the accident happened. RHYMNEY VALLEY. A decided improvement is apparent in 1he steam and house cool collieries of the valley. All the collieries a.re working full time; several large steam coal orders have been booked for some of the railway companies, and the wunl foreign best steam coal contracts have been made ac well. In both cases an advanced price of 6d per ton hns been obtained over that of last year's contracts. DOWLAIS. There was a slight stoppage in the new Bes- semer department of the Dowlais Works earlv last week, caused by on accident in one of the soaking pita- A number of masons were hurriedly summoned from their homes, and were kept btwily employed through the night in repairing the damage, so imperatively neces- sary was it to have the place ready for resuming the ordinary work of the department next mom. fnpr. In every other department of bobh the upper and lower works the utmost activity pre- vailed, and the quantity of goods manufactured was fully up to the average. The same gratify- ing state of things continued to characterise the coal trade, full time being worked at all the pits. The work of renovation and enlarge- ment of the works, to which notice has been frequently drawn in thiacolumn. was somewhat interfered with by the rainy weather wtwch pre- vailed throughout the greater part of the week. NEWPORT COAL TRADE. The quantity of coal shipped for the week ended February 13 was as follows:—Foreign, 41,190 tons; ccaetwise, 20,061 tons TIMBER TRADE OF SOUTH WALES. The Custom House authorities have (says "Timber") prepared the following return, show- ing tiie number of loads of timber (exclusive of pitwood) imported into the port of Cardiff (including Penarth and Barry) by each merchant in the year ended December 31 last:—J.

TRADE AT THE BUTE DOCKS LAST TEAK'S SHIPMENTS THE GBEAtFEST ON RECORD. Ona of the allegations made by the opponents of the Bute-Rhyimney amalgamation scheme at the meeting of Rhymney shareholders last week was that a portion of the Bute Docks was obso- lete. It may be interesting to the Rhymney shareholdera to know tbat the business done at the Bute Docks during the year 1596 was the greatest on record, viz.. 10,020,713 tons. The exports «h'.»wed an increnge of nearly 3 per cent. over 1895, whilst the import trade, which the Bute Docks Company is doing so much to entourage, and which is of such great impor- ta.nce to the district, showed an increase of 12 per cent, compared with the preceding year. This result was achieved notwithstanding the inducements and abatements offered by rival companies.

LOCAL LAW CASES. INJUNCTION AGAINST A SWANSEA TRADESMAN. On Friday in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice Mr. Justice Romer granted an injunction, in the aotion Lewis v. Jones, restraining the defendant, Daniel Jones, contrary to an agreement, from opening or carrying on the business of a men's clothier and general outfitter in High-street, Swansea. The facts showed that the defendant entered the plaintiff's service in 1885, and in-1889 entered into an agreement not to open a similar business in Swansea, but in 1895 it came to the plaintiff's knowledge that defendant had 'bought such a business in High-street, and, therefore, these proceedings were taken. The operation of the injunction was suspended for a month to enable the defendant to dispose of his business, and his Lordship gave the costs to the plaintiff, but without damagce. CORY AND OTHERS V. THE OWNERS OF THE WARRIGAL. On Friday in the Admiralty Division of the High Court the president (Sir Francis Jeune), sitting with Trinity Masters, had before him the claim by Messrs. William Cory, of Lon- aon, Cardiff, aad other places, to recover damages for injuries sustained by their steam- ship Harborne in a collision with the steamship Warrigai, in the River Thames, on January 10 of this year.—The Harborne at the time had a crew of seventeen hands, and was bound from London to Barry Dock, in water ballast, whilst the Warrigai was in course of a. voyage from various Australian porta to London, laden with 5.000 tons of general cargo, and manned by a crew of 58 hands. Serious damage was done to the plaintiff's vessel, and the master and (row also claimed for the loss of their _'l- thes and private effects.—The case had not concluded when the court rose. (JORY AND OTHERS V. THE OWNERS OF THE" ARRIGAL. On Saturday the President (Sir Francis Jeune), sitting with Trinity Masters in the Admiralty Division of the High Court, gave judgment m this action, brought by Messrs. William Corv, o; London, Cardiff, and other places, to recover damages for injuries sustained by their steam- ship Harborne in a collision with the steamship Warrigai. The casualty occurred on January 10 of this year in Gravesend Reach of the River Thames. The Harborne at the time was in water ballast, and was proceeding to Barry Docks to take in a cargo of coals, while the Warrigai, a, large vessel of 2,778 tons net register, was inward bound from Australian ports with general cargo. The defendants denied that the collision was brought about by negligent navigation on the part of the crew of the Warrigai, and contended that. if their vessel did contribute to the accident, which they denied, it was the fault of.the pilot who was employed by compulsion of law, for whom they were not responsible.—The President con- sidered that the Warrigai vat alone to blame for the collision by not keeping a proper look-out, and he must hold the defendants liable for the dama<ges sustained by the Harborne, because the pilot was not properly informed of approach- ing veeBelts. His lordship added that he thought the Harborne gave every indication of having been navigsJted with care. Judgment accordingly for the plaintiffs, with costs.—Mr. Pyke said he thought he ought to say that the master of the Warrigai, when he wrote to the owners after the collision, informed them that the steering gear was out of order.—Sir Walter Phillimore said that his clients had no informa- tion upon the matter except from the pilot of the Warrigai. His lordsnip said that when a thing of that sort was kept in the background it led one to believe that it was not mentioned because the party keeping it back was afraid of the consequences.

TIN-PLATE TRADE IN AMERICA. The "Board of Trade Journal," in an article reviewing the tin-plate trade of America. in 1896, says that the close of the year found the American tin-plate industry firmly estab- lished on a foundation which no* passing derangements could be powerful enough to injure. While the actual growth of the American tin-plate industry was not as great iu 1896 as it was in the previous year, there being fewer new mills built, its progress was steadily onward. The capacity of the existing works is about equ sl to the available demand for tin-plate in the country.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF S WO SEA. IMPORTANT SHIPPING AND TRADL PROJECTS. The shipping and commercial public of Swansea will learn with much satis- faction that the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company have just taken possession of the valuable premises adjoining the North Dock, Swansea, and until recently and for many years the property of Messrs. Richard- son and Co., and occupied by them as copper ore wharves, and which, it is stated, are to be used by the former company as a goods depot. The premises extend from what is known as the "Duke's Dock," now in the occupation of Messrs. Weaver and Co. (Limited), to the Albion Dry Dock, with a frontage of several hundred feet alongside the North Dock, with a depth of two or three hundred feet, the lines from the Harbour Trust Railways, which are connected wixh the Rhondda and Swansea Bay line, running into the premises from the New Cut thorough- fare. It is estimated that the freehold of the premises secured by the Rhondda and Swan- sea Bay Company, which, we understand, will be used for receiving and despatching mer- chandise goods coming from foreign parts to be forwarded to different parts of the country, cannot be less than jB40,000 to £ 50,000. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the railway company in question having been fixed for Monday next. February 22, no doubt Sir John Jones Jenldns. the chairman of the company will furnish the shareholders with the fullest information on the subject in refe- rence to the intentions of the board of direc- tors in the future. The Swansea Harbour Trust appear to be also taking energetic steps to provide facilities for carrying on the shipping traffic with the North Dock, by converting the triangular piece of land alongside the North Dock Basin, extending to the Ocean Dry Dock, running from the North Dock Lockbridge to Capstan Point, into a wharf for loading and despatch- ing of large vessels. The wharf, with a frontage of 500ft., is to be knowa a* the Victoria Wharf. Three powerful travelling cranes have been erected alongside the quay wall, three lines of railway having been laid down, with communications with all the great railways running into the port. In connec- tion with this new development it will be learned with much satisfaction that the har- bour authorities have favourably entertained an application from Messrs. Weaver and Co. to erect grain stores for their sole use, at a cost of £ 10,000. In addition to the above, it is gratifying to state that the Great Western Railway Company axe iust now engaged :n converting their old low tip at the South Dock, Swansea, into a modern high tip, for the purpose of bunkering large steamers. The same company have also decided upon erecting three similar high coal tips at the North Dock, the work in connec- tion with which, it is stated, is to commence almost immediately.

CARMARTHEN RAILWAY FACILITIES. TRE GREAT WE3T~.ttN RAIL- WA,'Y'S INDIFFERENCE. A largely attended meeting of the Carmar- then Chamber of Commerce was held at the Guild-hall on Monday evening, Mr. Thomas Thomas (Disgwylfa) presiding.The Chair- man said he had received a. letter from the Great Western Railwav Company in answer to one sent by him on the 2dth of January. Ever since the formation of the chamber they had been in constant communication with the company, urging upon them the desirability of doing something to improve the siding accommodation ana the passenger station in the town, and also to lessen the loss of time and annoyance to passengers at Carmarthen Junction. He had plainly told the company that they seemed to be utterly indifferent to the repeated complaints made, and asked them .to make some definite statement as to their intentions. The reply he had received was exceedingly disappointing, as it only ex- pressed a hope that in a little time the com- pany would be in a position to make a definite statement.—Mr. Thomas Jenkins (The Friary), one of the largest merchants in the district, spoke strongly of the apathy of the company. Owing to the insufficient accom- modation, he had no hesitation in saying that it cost the tradespeople twice the amount it ought to do their work at the goods station. There were one or two dangerous and diffi- cult level crossings on the company's pre- mises, and he thought they could not do better than call in tho assistance of the Board of Trade, seeing that the company could not be made to fulfil their repeated promises. (Loud applause.) He moved that the borough and county Parliamentary representatives be asked to bring the matter before the Board of Trade.—Mr. Thomas Lloyd (Lammas-street) seconded, and it wag earned unanimously.- The member" of tho chamber were asked: to submit all the evidence they could to the president, Mr. Thomas Jenkins, and Mr. T. E. Brigstocke, who would then formulate a strong case.—The chamber then discussed a petition in favour of the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway Bill.-It was stated tha.t the present sea. route between Waterford and Milford was 114 miles long, whereas the pro. jected route between Rosslare and Fishguard was only 58 miles.—-Mr. Thomas Jenkins moved that the seal of the chamljer be affixed to the petition. The new railwav would open up large districts now inaccessible to Carmarthen traders except by road. At piesent such populous districts aa Porthyrhyd, Pontyberem, a.nd Cross Hands were supplied by Llanelly, but the new railway would divert it to Carmarthen. It war, also quite within the range of possibility, and, to his mind, it WM probable, that coal would then be shipped from Carmarthen, as they were within easy distance of the virgin coalfields. (Hear, hear.)—Mr. T. E. Brigstocke seconded. —Mr. H. F. PritcJiaird (National Provin. cial Bank) supported the motion, which was carried unanimously.

CANADIAN CORN AND GRASS. Captain J. A. Scott, emigration agent, of CithayB-tarraee, Cardiff, has just received from the Caondian Government & case, measuring 5ft. 8irt. by 4ft., oontaming samples of oc>rn and gfass grown in Manitoba and the North-west Territories of the Dominion of Canada. It is well known that as an agricul- tural country ^anada is unbeaten, and in the provinces asuned is the finest corn-producing land in the world. The sarnples sent are of corn in the ear, and contain amongst them the f(-.Ilowing: -.A sample of wtiite "banner" oats grown at Wapella, in the North-west Territories, the yield of which was 60 bushels to the acre; sample' of white and artother of black "banner" oatfe from Birtle, Manitoba, the yield in each case being 50 bushels to the acre; a sample of white "banner" oats from Austin, Manitoba, the yield being 50 bushels to the acre. This corn is very simiLiar to that grown in this country, and very clean, and the straw is of much the same strength and texture. There are also samples of Red Fife wheat from Edmonton, North-west Territories, the yield of which was 35 bushels to the acre, and another sample from Wapella. where the yield was 30 bushel" per acre Samples of barley from It Springfield, Manitoha., are included, the yield in this case being 45 bushels to the acre. There are also aarrples of prairie graf* of two degrees of texture grown near the Canadian Pacific Railway, the height of which is about 53ft. Thiz grass growa very strong, and is claimed to be of eopecial value in feeding stock. A sampie of hay trraes. 4ft. in height, is included. This grass, owirg t- the mowing, resembles in ap- pearance English-mown grass, but is, of course, mudl stronger. It is proposed to ex- hibit the case in the window of one of the leading corn merchants in the town. so that ail who wvh may inspect these samples of hus- bandry from the largest of the British Colonies.

GLAMORGANSHIRE HUNT. RESIGNATION OF THE MASTER. APPOINTMENT OF HIS SUCCESSOR. A meeting of the subscribers to the Glamorganshire Hunt was held at the Park Hotel, Cardiff, on Saturday. The tenant farmers in the country hunted by the county pack were also invited, and there was a large attendance. The meeting was called to receive the resignation, of the master and to appoint a successor. Lord Tredegar was voted to the chair, and there were among those presen'- the master (Mr. R. Thurstan Bassett) The Mackintosh of Mackintosh, Mr. C. H. Williams (Roa.th Court). General Wat- son, Mr. U. H. Jones, Mr. R. K. Prichard (hon. secretary;, Colonel HobaIt Tyler, Colonel Homfray, Colonel H. Oakden Fisher, aoid Messrs. J. 1. D. Nicholl, Robert Forrest, G. C. Williams (LlaDrumney), Edgar David, Hamlen Williams, E. U. David, E. Tudor Owen (Ash Hail), Henry Lewis (Green- meadow). R. J. Sloper, Clifford Cory, W. H. Lewis, W. Emerson, Lewis Shirley, J. G. Thomas (Penartli), W. Vizard (LIajunihangeI), Jonas Watson, S. A. Brain, S. Robinson, J. H. Brain, W. Cuhitt, S. D. Evans (Cow- bridge), Thomas Thomas (Bear Hotel), William Thomas (The Hayes), —.

Miles (Pontypridd), Alfred Phillips (Cardiff), John Watts (Liantrithyd), —. Morgan (Penarth), —. Bassett (Beaupre), F. T. James, and T. D. John. The Chairman said this was the first time he had had the honour of presiding at a meeting of the Glamorgan Hunt. The pre- sent occasion was a mournful one, for he had to announce, what they more or less knew for some time, that Mr. Bassett had determined, for reasons of his own, to resign the master- ship of the Hunt. This, he believed, was Mr. Bassett's eleventh season as master of the oounty pack, and, being a master of hounds himself, he (the noble chairman) knew very well what there was to contend with in that position. Mr. Bassett had overcome all diffi- culties, and had conducted the Hunt most satisfactorily to tho.se who hunted with him and to those whose country the hounds went over. (Applause.) At a certain period of life and under certain circumstances gentle- men found they could not devote so much time as formerly to amusements, and he was certain that Mr. Bassett had reasons of State for resigning his position as master at the end of the present season. Nobody knew better than he did what a tie the mastership of a subscription pack was. He was responsible from morning to night, and his duties weighed upon his mind. He was certain they were all sorry that Mr. Bassett had made up his mind to resign, because a good master of foxhounds was difficult to obtain. (Applause.) Mr. Bassett stated that he had made up his mind, after due consideration, to take what was to him an important step. He greatly appreciated the request that had been made to him to re-consider his decision, but he hoped that would not be pressed, as he had thoroughly made up his mind as to tho course he was going to take. Mr. C. H. Williams stated that the eleven seasons during which Mr. Bassett had been master had been the best in the history of the Hunt. Mr. Bassett was hand in hand with the farmers and everybody connected with the Hunt, and he was quite certain they were losing a very great friend. But there was another gentleman in the county who was a good sportsman in every possible way, and that gentleman he would mention as the future master—The Mackintosh of Mackintosh. (Applause.) They all knew him wel!. They had eeen him with the Glamorganshire Hounds many times, and he (Mr. Williams) was cer- tain that he would be acceptable to the subscribers and tenant farmers. (Applause.) He proposed that The Mackintosh be asked to take the mastership of the Glamorganshire Hounds. (Applause.) Mr. Edmund Lewis stated that, although tenant farmers were not able to attend many of the meets, they took as keen an interest in the national sport as those who were more privileged than the bulk of the farmers were, and he had very great pleasure in seconding the nomination of The Mackintosh for the mastership of the Glamorganshire Hounds, in succession to Mr. Bassett. The farmers within the limits of the Hunt deeply regretted the retirement of Mr. Bassett, and, were it not that he had expressed himself in such decided terms, he would have been asked to re-oonsider the step which he proposed to take. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bassett had. always given a. maximum of sport with the minimum of trespass, and he (Mr. Lewis) felt that it would be difficult to find anyone to come up to turn in that respect. (Applause.) He believed, however, that The Mackintosh would do his level best to oonduct the Hunt in a manner which would be satisfactory to all concerned in it. Mi-. Rees Thomas supported the proposi- tion, and stated that Mr. Bassett had brought the pack to such a state of perfection that it was second to none. He believed The Mack- intosh, if he accepted the position, would find that 90 per cent. of the tenant farmers were loyal to fox-hunting, and that they would give him a hearty reception. (Applause.) He did not think the landed proprietors were is loval as the tenant farmers were. He knew there were some covers in the Glamorganshire country which were always drawn blank. Some people were very selfish. They went in for pheasants and rabbits, and would do nothing for the national sport of fox-hunting, m which the humblest peasant could take part. He hoped that these who had been selfish in the past would join the majority, and give The Mackintosh a hearty reception. (Applause.) The motion was then put to the meeting, and carried with enthusiasm. The Mackintosh, in accepting the position, said he did so with very mixed feelings. He regretted that Mr. Bassett found it neces- sary to resign, not only because he was a most excellent master in all respects—at home in tho tield and in the kennel—but because he was a personal friend of his (the speaker's). He knew that when Mr. Bassett made up his mind to retire he did so after deep reflection, because a. man could not sever himself from the sports of the field to which he had been accustomed all his life without feeling that the step was an onerous one. They knew that Mr. Bassett had hunted the country with a success which no other subscription pack in the kingdom had attained. (Applause.) He possessed exceptional capabilities both as regarded horses and hounds, and without those two things, added to tact and thorough generousness, a man could not hope to be successful in the field. It was a serious matter for him (The Mackintosh) to try to succeed a master like Mr. Bassett. Beside^ lie had in another county onerous duties whicn would take him from Glamorganshire a con siderable portion of the year; but some gentlemen—and among them waa Mr. Bassett—hid offered to assist him 1Jl every possible way—(applause)—and, on w^se promises, he was proud to accept the responsible position to which they had ejected him. He would always do his best m the interest of those who paid their subscriptions tc carry on the Hunt, and of the tenant farmers (Applause.) He was pleased to hear Mr. Thomas say that 90 per cent. of the farmers were loyal to the Hunt. this was proved by the enormous number of names which were attached to a petition to Mr. Bassett asking him to continue the master- ship. There was not a county in England or Wales where such unanimous, such hearty and kindly wishes would be expressed as in that petition signed by the tenant fanners of Glamorgan. (Applause.) He would take over the hounds on the same conditions as Mr Bassett had done, and those were, to hunt two davs a week before Christmas, reserving to himself to decide whether an extra day should be added afterwards. (Applause.) Mr. 0. H. Jones proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Bassett for the way he had hunted the county for eleven seasons. (Hear, hear.) Not only was Mr. Bassett a hard rider, but he thoroughly understood what the hounds were doing. He (Mr. Jones) believed he was the first to propose that Mr. Bassett should be asked to succeed the late Mr. J. S. Gibbon, and he always felt pleasure in the fact that he had been instrumental in inducing !nm to take the mastership. Mr. Bassett had greatly improved the pack since he became master, and now they would not find many packs that were superior to it. Mr. Bassett had always mounted his men well. There ivas nothing so painful as to see a. huntsman who was anxious to do his duty mounted on bad horse. Mr. Bassett was also very -uoeessful ai selecting the Hunt servants. There had never been a better huntsman oi nore obliging servant than George Cox, am the same might be said of the whip. Mr. John Morgan seconded the proposi tion, stating that no master was more weloome :.n the tenant farmers' land than Mr. Bassett. He was sorry Mr. Bassett was (oing to leave the neighbourhood for a few years, becvir.so there was no man in England who patronised home trade more than he did. The proposition was carried with acclama- tion. Mr. Bassett, in replying, thanked the membirs of the Hunt for the way they had supported him through eleven seasons. If he had ever said a. word to any of them in the heat of the moment, as he dared say he had, they would understand that he did not mean it. All he did was in the interests of sport, and if he had offended anyone he would apologise, and hope to be forgiven. He wished also to thank the owners of coverts who were non-fox-hunting gentlemen for the kind way they had preserved foxes for him. He could never thank his old friends the tenant farmers enough for the courtesy and kindness they had shown him. He had never had a cross word from any of them. They said they were very grateful to him, and he was sure they would extend that gratitude to his successor. They would find in The Mackintosh a gentleman who would treat them as a gentleman should do. (Applause.) He might not possess the vocabulary which he (Mr. Bassett) possessed—(laughter)—but, per- haps, that could be acquired. (Renewed laughter.) Ií he had not the vocabulary, he had tact, and the county was to be heartily congratulated tha.t he had accepted the posi- tion of master. There was one thing he wished to say. and he desired it to be very publicly known and that was that he did not give up the mastership of the hounds because of any personal feeling with anyone in the county. (Applause.) He resigned purely on private and family grounds, and he hoped everybody would understand that. In would excuse him saying more. It had been a rather trying day for him, inasmuch as it marked a somewhat important step in his life. (Applause.) Mr. Bassett then left the room. PROPOSED PRESENTATION. Mr, C. H. Williams proposed that a testi- monial to Mr. Bassett be subscribed, and that the form which it should take be left to Mr. Bassett himself. He was sure they would all heartily subscribe to such a testimonial. The motion was seconded by Mr. Henry Lewis, and carried, and a committee, consist- ing of The Mackintosh, and Messrs. J. 1. D. Nicholi, G. C. Williams, J. H. Brain, Rees Thomas, and Edmund .Lewis, was appointed to carry the resolution into effect. Tho Chairman, replying to a vote of thanks proposed by Mr. O. H. Jones, stated that about four and a half millions a year was spent on stag, fox, and hare hunting in the United Kingdom. The national sport helped the youth of the country to spend their super- fluous energy, and inured them to hardship and danger. Our English sportsmen went all over the world, he would not say to the envy, but the hatred, of other nations. The national sport was hereditary in Englishmen, and, if it were done away with, they would have to do something for farmers who bred horses, and all those who were engaged in the stables and the kennels. (Applause.) The meeting then terminated.

CARDIFF CONSERVATIVE CLUB. SATISFACTORY BALANCE-SHEET The annual meeting of the Cardiff Conserva- tive Club was held 02 the premises on Satur- day evening. The chairman of the club (Mr. Charles Moir) presided, and there were also present Messrs. Henry Frazer (vice-chairman), S. Barnett, George Padfield, I. Leon, and H. J. Thatcher (directors), Mr. D. Watkin Thomas (secretary), and a number of other members. The report for the year ended the 31st of December showed that the profit amounted to J3156 lis. 6d. Of this sum, JB105 3s. Id. was placed to reserve on account of depreciation of furniture, £3 3s. was sub- scribed to the Conservative Association, and J327 15s. 4d. went towards interest on deben- tures, leaving a balance of 10s. l £ d. to be carried forward to the current year's account. Consideration for the comfort of the members had compelled the directors to increase the wages and maintenance of servants accounts by providing additional staff. A telephone has also been pUiced in the club for the con- venience of the members. During the year the sum of B158 3s. has been expended upon improvements to the premises, which amount, by the advice of the company's auditors, in consequence of the work having been so recently executed, has been capitalised and carried forward for the purpose of being dealt with and written off in such proportions as may be determined during the length of the lease. The further decoration of the dub will receive the early attention of the directors. New members, to the number of eighty, have joined the club in the course of the year, and there are now upon the books a total of six hundred members. The directors appeal lor increased support in the catering department of the club. It may be safely asserted that for exoellenoe of the quality of the viands and moderation of charges this branch of the club cannot be equalled in the district.—The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, described it as a very satisfactory one. —Councillor Veall, who seconded, said the club was making steady progress. The receipts last year were seriously affected by the Exhibition being held. If it were not for that fact the profits would have been consider- ably greater. He paid a compliment to Miss Edward's, the manageress, for the excellent way the catering had been carried out during the year.—The report and statement of accounts were adopted, Mtd the retiring direc- tors—Messrs. W. R. Hawkins, G. C. Shepton, W. T. SyBlonds, and Cuthbert Ward—were re- elected.—On the motion of Councillor Veall, seconded by Mr. Blaiberg, a. hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman and directors for their services, and Mr. Blaiberg suggested that a testimonial should l>e pre- sented to Mr. Moir for the great interest he has for so manv years shown in the working of the club.—Sir. Padfield proposed, and Mr. Frazer seconded, a vote of thanks to Miss Edwards and the other members of the staff for the lovaltv with which they had served j the club.—it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Padfield, seconded by Mr. Edmund Hancock, jun., that all the daily papers, except the "Times," be sent to the workhouse a.nd infirmary.

Howell, the well-known electrical engineer, read a. paper on the electric lighting of Llanelly- In the course of his remarks Mr. Howell explained the scheme which he had offered to the borough council for the lighting of the main streets of the town. This would cost £500 a year, as against £4-20 now paid to the gas com- pany. The council, however, could more than recoup themselves in this by lighting the Town- hall. the market, the Athenaeum, and other public buildings by electricity.—At the close Mr. Howell was awarded a vote of thanks, Mr. Trubshaw. Mr. Fielding, Mr. J. G. Daw, Mr. R. F Randell, and others speaking strongly in favour of the new light.—Mr. Fielding brought up the question of commercial educa- tion, and severely criticised the scheme adopted by the London Chamber of Commerce. It was too academic for commercial purposes—Mr. W. Lewis, B.A.. master of the intermediate school, endorsed the adverse verdict of Mr. Fielding, and. after some further remarks, the discus- sion was adjourned to the next meeting.— Messrs. T. Hughets, T. Jones, J. G. Daw, and V. Bowen were appointed to represent the chamber at "he annual meetings of the Asso- ciated Chaonlbers of Commerce in London-— A letter was read from the Grea.t Western Rail- way to the effect that the recommendation of the chamber relative to improved passenger accommodation at Llanellv should receive atten- tion.—Mr. J.
