MARKETS. 0 CORN. Cardiff, Saturday (from the Cardiff Grain Company, Limited).—At our market to-day wheat of all descriptions was exceedingly quiet, and last week's prices were barely maintained. Grinding barley was slightly lower. Maize was strong at an advance of 6d to 9d par quarter. Oats were firm, and in some cases 3d dearer. Beana and peas were unchanged. Newport, Wednesday.-At to-day's market "wheat was very quiet, anu 3d to 6d cheaper. Maize was alec, a slow sale at 6d cheaper on the week. Beans, oats, and barley unchanged. ur wae quoted at 22a 6d for fines. Hereford, Wednesday.—English wheats very freely offered, but buyers were inclined to hold off unless tempted by slightly lower prices. Barleys were more plentiful, but buyers were conspicuous by their absence. Inquiry continues fcr fine barleys. New Eng- lish oats a turn in buyers' favour, the supply being rather in excess of the demand. Beans quietly steady. Peas: Nothing doing. Vetches unchanged.

Boath (Cardiff), Tuesday.—There was a moderate supply of cattie on offer at this market to-day, the demand for which was fairly good. Quotations remain much the same as last report, viz., prime oxen and heifers, 56s to 58s per cwt; seconds, 54s to 56s. Fat cows were in poor demand at from 52s to 56a for the best; other qualities, 476 to 523 per cwt. Sheep were rather a. short supply, a-nd ware quoted at from 7d to 1-d per Ib for the choicest; seconds, about 6d to 63d. Ewes realised about 6d per lb, according to quality. Lambs were a pretty good supply, and were offered at from 7d to 7d per Ib; Irish year- lings, 7d to 7jd. A few calves on offer. These sold freely at from 7jd to Bid per lb. Pips are still scarce and dear—prime porkers, small selected made up to 118 6d per score for the choicest; heavy weight ditto, from Its to1 11a 3d; mixed weights, ios lOd to lis 3d. Bacon pige scarce, those on offer making from 9s 9d to 10s 6d per score. Sows realised from 7s 6d to 8s per score. The attendance of buyers was about the average, and at the close but little remained unsold. Trade in the carcase market showed a slight improvement over last report; atill, it is below the standard yet. There was a capital supply of all kinds on offer. The quotations show but little change. Sides of best beef made ûl to 5d and 5Jd per lb; seconds. 4d to Sid; hindquarters of best beef made from 6d to 6N; seconds, 5d to 6d; beet forequarters of beef made up to 4ftd; other qualities. 4d to 4Jd. Mutton, 5id to 6id per lb by the carcase, with a rather short supply. A full supply of lamb on offer, the demand being rather slow at from 7d to 7id per lb. Only a very short supply of veal on offer, the quotations being from 7;d to arl per lb. The attendance of buyers was a bit below the average, consequently a clearance was hardly effected. Still, the market was better than last week end. Newport, Wednesday.—There was a good supply of fat and store stock, but prime quality cattie was scarce. Quotations:—Best, beet, 6M to 6rl per lb.; seconds, 5?d to 6d; cows, Sd to 6d; best wether mutton, nd; ewes, 6d to 6d; lamb, 7cl to 8d; veal, 6Jd to 7d; porker pigs, 11a to lis 6d per score. Carmarthen, Wednesday.—The monthly market, a small one, was jjueld here to-day. The few cows and calves on Offer went at from £ 12 to £ 14; store lambs made about 3d per lb; & few ram lambs £1 lOa to Li 15s each, and breeding ewes, for which there was a. fair demand. Ll 10s to £ 2. Hereford, Wednesday.—We had a slow trade all round to-day. There was a fair supply of cattle, but stores met with a weak trade. and fat beasts also had a slow demand, it being a question whether tha best bullocks made over 6d per lb., fat cows realising 5d to 5Jd per lb. We had a very large ptipply of sheep, chiefly Btores, which, as it ii the end of the season, comprised the culls of the best of the draft ewes. and they did not realise very big prices. Store lambs were not so numerous, neither "was the demand. Fat iambs experienced a fair demand, up to 32s and 33s -tpiece, or at about 8d to 84d per lb. Fat wethers made 7d to 8d per lb. and fat ewes 5d to 5id. Calves were a very small supply, and also had a slow trade, not realising more than 6d per lb. We had a larger supply of pigs than last week, with a downward tendency in prices, porks at 5d to 5Jd per lb., in some few instances making 6d; bacons about 5d per lb PROVISIONS. Whitland, Saturday.—There was a good attendance, owing to its being also the annual hiring fair. A good supply of butter in cask at 11 to Is per lb, whilst butter in pound roll* varied from lljd tola OJd per lb.

Barnard's circular).—Bacon: A rather quieter tone is manifest, but there is scarcely any disposition to meat havers on packers' part, and the changes are mostly nominal. Cheese: The majority of importers having satisfied their requirements for the present, the markets are socvrcely so strained, and buyers have now a better chance. Butter: Cables from Canada firm at full limits on choicest goods. Lard: Violent flvctuations continue, and it is diffi- cult to forecast the future in any way. BUTTER. Carmarthen, Saturday.—There was a full supply of butter in the market, which realised from Hid to Is per lb; basket butter. Is Id to 18 2d per lb.

TRADE REPORTS. CARDIFF. During the past week the market for steam coal has displayed a slightly easier tone, attri- butable, doubtless, to the non-arrival of expected tonnage, which had been recently delayed through stormy weather. The slight lull, however, can only be of a temporary cha- racter, inasmuch as an enormous quantity of tonnage has been taken up for prompt and early loading, and coalowners' stems are already well filled for shipment in October and November. The small coal trade has already partially recovered its buoyancy. Some large cargoes .have been this week despatched to Italy and other Continental destinations, while the demand for bunkering purposes has been above the average. The top price of smalls, however, has not exceeded 8s 6d per ton, less the usual discount. The demand for Monmouthahipe semi bituminous coal has steadily improved, and stems are once more in a satisfactory state. The house coal trade has also an improving tendency; nevertheless, forward business is below the average at thib period of the year. Although the volume of chartering has been larger, the pressure of seeking tonnage has continued to exercise a depressing effect upon rates; Genoa has dropped to between 5s 3d and 5s 6d, and the latter figure is now the maximum obtainable for Port Said, while the Admiralty quotation for Malta has been cut down to 4s. For desti- nations other than the Baltic, Bay, and coast ports there is no urgency in the inquiry. The current quotation for the Plate is 12s 6d, and for November shipment Aden has secured room at 12s. The following are the current quota- tions for coal, patent fuel, and other kindred products: -Best steam coal 17s 9d to 18s, seconds 16s 6d to 17s 3d, drys 15s 6d to 15s 9d; best smalls 811 to 8s 6d, seconds 7s 6d to 7s 9d. and inferior sorts from 6s 9d to 7s 3d; best Monmouthshire semi bituminous large coal 143 6d to 15s. seconds 13s 6d to 14s; best house coal 16s to 17s, seconds 14s 6d to 15s 6d; No. 3 Rhondda. large 16B to 16a 3d, brush 13s to 13s 6d, and small 10s to 10s 6d; No. 2 Rhondda large 13s 3d to 13s 9d, through and through 10s 6d to 103 9d, end small 7s 6d to 7s 9d; patent fuel 15a to 16s 6d; foundry coke 1913 to 20s, and furnace 6s 6d to 17a 6d per ton; iron ore—best Rabio 148 to 14s 6d, Tafna 15s to 15a 6d, and Almeria 14s 9d per ton c.i.f. Cardiff or Newport; pitwood 17s 6d to 17s 9d per ton ex ship. BRITON FERRY. There is. unhappily, no prospect of an early settlement of the dispute at the Cape Copper Works. The directors of the Wern Tin-plate Company have placed an order for a new mill engine with Mr. Price, of the Neath Engineer- ing Works, who, it will be remembered, was the constructor of similar engines now work- ing satisfactorily at the Eagle and Cardoanel establishments. Last week the eighteen mills at the several tin-plate works in the district were fully employed. The smelting furiyaces at the Briton Ferry Steel Works were in full activity, as were also those at the Albion Steel Works. The output of hematite iron at the Briton Ferry Works was normal. It is currently rumoured that the Wempistyll Col- liery, which has not been working for years together with the Old Swan Colliery, is about' to be re-opened. These pits are on the sea- board and in close proximity to the large industries in this district. The shipping trade was brisk, and all the minor trades were in fan .employment. NEWPORT. At the commencement of the past week the steam coal trade did not display the amount of activity anticipated, owing to tonnage not coming to hand satisfactorily. This drawback was, however, overcome later on, and a brisker market followed. Prompt large coal is now in good request, and forward business is also improving. The large stocks of small steam coal having undergone rapid depletion, this market is also stronger. The house coal trade has been moderately active, but very little for- ward buying- has taken place, and there is ample room for improvement. Patent fuel and coke stems are full, with prices firmly upheld. Supplies of pitwood have eased down, while the demand has increased, with the result that prices have advanced 6d a ton. The following are the closing prices:—Best Monmouthshire large coal 14s 9d to 15s. seconds 13? 6d to 14s; best smalls 7s 9d to 8s, seconds 6s 9d to 7s; best house coal 16s to 17s, seconds 141i to 15s 6d; patent fuel 15a to 16s. according to brand; coke 16s to 2Cs, according to quality; pitwood 18a to 18s 3d per ton ex ship; iron are-Rubio 14s to 14s 6d, Tafna 15s to 15s 3d, and Almeria 14s 9d per ton c.i.f. New- port. The outward freight market has been active, but rates generally ruled weak and unremunerative. SWANSEA. TheCtrade of the port, in the past week was very satisfactory, and the returns show an increase of 14,000 tons compared with the corresponding period of last year. A fair supply of tonnage came to hand. and shippers were enabled to load freely, coal and patent fuel shipments amounting to 64.000 tons. It is gratifying to note a steady improvement in the tin-plate and general exports, with pros- pects for the immediate future promising. The imports include: -I-rance, 825 tons pit- wood and 300 tons general; Sweden, 160 tons steel blooms and 570 Joads deals, Ao.; Portu- gal, 832 tons general; Spain, 1.900 tons iron ore; Belgium and Holland. 823 tons general; Newfoundland. 2,325 tons copper ore; Canada, 1.146 loads deals, Ac. The principal coal ship- ments were:-France, 25.015 tons; Eussia, 1,960 tons; Sweden, 2,600 tons; Germany, 6.430 tons; Holland and Belgium, 4,300 tons; Italy, i,450 tons; Egypt, 2.300 tons; Brazil, 1,015 tons; United States. 1.991 tons; and home ports 6,266 tons. Patent fuel :-France, 2.470 tons; Spain, 1.150 tons; Russia, 3,100 tons; Italy, 200 tons; antf Alexandria, 1,650 tons. Imports 13.713 tons, exports 71,296 tons, and total trade 86,009 tons, compared with 69.020 tons the previous week and 71,401 tons last year. Shipments of coal 56,337 tons, patent fuel 8,570 tons, and tin- plates and general goods 6,389 tons, the latter -for France, 649 tons; Portugal, 520 tons; Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, Ac., 1.200 tons; Germany, 300 tons; Holland and Belgium. 620 tons; United States, 750 tons; and home ports, 2,350 tons. Shipments of tin-plates 33,117 boxes, and receipts from works 41,559 boxes. Stocks in the dock warehouses and vans 97,469 boxes, compared with 94,027 boxes the previous week, and 151,850 boxes at the corresponding date last year. The fol- lowing will load in this trade in the current week:—Boston City for New York, Ixion for China, Japan, Ac., Pavia for Mediterranean ports, Ormsby Broad for Genoa, Alverton and Valdumar for Copenhagen. Ac., Annie for Dantzic, Rynstroom and Pluto for Antwerp, and Zaanstroom for Rotterdam and Amster- dam. Vessels in dock: Steam 34. sail 51-total 85. Imports:—Pig iron, 1,020 tons; scrap steel. 532 tons; steel blooms, 160 tons; iron ore, 1.900 tons; copper ore, 2.504 tons; building material, 603 tons; phosphate, 750 tons; pitwood, 825 tons; deals, Ac., 1.716 tons; grain, 382 tons; flour, 34 tons; hay, 30 tons; onions, 50 tons; sundries. 3.619 tons. Exports: Ooal 66,337 tons, patent fuel 8.570 tons, and tin-plates anct general goods 6,389 tons. SWANSEA VALLEY. The coal trade in the upper reaches of the valley continues to be fairly brisk. Work in the Birchgrove district is, however, far from regular. The Old Pit was acgain inoperative during the past week. Velinfran Colliery having re-started, it was hoped that ere this work would have been resumed in fun. but so far only about nine hands have been put on there, the obstacle in the way to the realisation of those hopes being that the man- agement and the old hands cannot see eye to eye as to whom shall be re-employed, the former insisting on their right to engage "nfeoouoever they tbiak propar, and the latter ► claiming that the oldest hands should have prior claims. At Morriston Copper Pit is working regularly since the recent award of the arbitrator. Stocks of eemi-bituminous and anthracite are on the increase. Opera- tions at the Swansea Hematite Company's blast furnace and adjacent departments is fully maintained, and quite equal to any week of the past three .months. The steel trade is also exceptionally good, bars for tin- plate manufacture continuing in pressing demand, with stocks everywhere at a mini- mum. The flourishing condition of the tin- plate industry, which has been such a marked feature of the locality during the past quarter, is again emphasised by the restarting of a mill at Foxhole to-day (Tuesday), and four more at an early date will be set going at Cwmbwsla Works. The electric lighting plant which is about being laid down by the Upper Forest and Worcester Steel and Tin-plate Com- pany is guaranteed to be completed by the ead of the present year. Every department of these large works will be equipped with the modern light. Morriston, Midland, and Fox- hole tin-plate establishments have already the installation throughout their various depart- ments. The men employed at the various tin- houses are better and more regularly working than probably at any period of the past nine months. Copper refineries and adjoining mills are steadily kept going. Spelter and sulphate of copper factories are in full swing. Since the termination of the dispute at the Vivian (Morriston) works, everything fn the former industry has been going on satisfactorily. An improvement, as indicated last week, is observable in the volume of sulphuric acid turned out at the Swansea Chemical Factory. Matters at Pentrepoeth Oxalic Works, Mor- riston, are looking, unfortunately, very ominous. Already one-fourth of the regular hands have been dispensed with. There seems to be just now a glut in the market for this particular liquid, and prices are unremunera- tive; hence the prospect of closing these works down for an indefinite time. The Glou- cester Engineering Sheds are as busy as need be. and much the same may be written of all the engineering shops in the neighbourhood. DOWLAIS. The past week was one of average activity at the iron and steel works, as well as at the collieries, and, taken all round, may be regarded as being satisfactory. For the third week in succession, however, a somewhat belated start was made at the bar mill. Old Works, but during the working days things were generally brisk and productive. There was a good yield in all the furnace depart- ments, and the other mills in operation ran regularly, and no difficulty was experienced by the management in meeting the demands of the market. The make of steel rails showed a slight improvement upon the returns of previous weeks, and a steady, upward ten- dency is manifeat. Tin and merchant bar, boiler and other plates, and steel sleepers, all figured up substantially, and numerous smaller lines also swelled the tonnage totals. The further reduction of 7 per cent. in the wage-list of the iron and steel workers, as the result of the last sliding-scale audit, has created a widespread disappointment, which the men do not attempt to conceal. No further trouble need be anticipated for a while in consequence of the exhaustion of the works' water supply. as the heavy rains of the past fortnight have served to amply replenish the reservoirs. The collieries are in a disturbed state owing to the day-wage dispute and other minor grievances. It is to be hoped that wise counsels will prevail, so that no sudden and grave rupture may be caused. During the week the output was fully up to expectations. LLANELLY. Another week of general activity is to be reported from Llanelly and district, constant work and good wages being the experience in all the industries. The tin-plate trade con- tinues to enjoy a fair measure of prosperity, towards which the strike in America has, no doubt, materially contributed. Now that operations have been resumed in the States, it will be interesting to watch the effect on this side. However, the Welsh makers have taken full advantage of the temporary para- lysis of the trade across the Atlantic, and have kept their works going at high pressure in order to cope with the increased demand. The colliers are also experiencing a very busy time, the output just now being larger than it has been for some time past, and with the opening out of fresh mining enterprises a still larger increase may be expected. This activity in coal winning is re-produced in the local shipping trade, which is some thou- sands of tons in excess of the record for maBY years. And this in spite of the fact that the new dock is not yet opened. When that long deferred consummation comes about it is reasonable to expect that the large quantity of local coal which is now diverted to Swansea, will be dealt with at its natural port of shipment. This applies to the large quantity of coal worked in Llangennech and the Amman Valley, which is certain to come to Llanelly as soon as adequate dock accom- modation is provided. As showing the pro- gressive spirit animating local business, it may be stated that Messrs. J. C. Howell and Co.. have put up a splendid installation of electric light at the Old Castle Works, which is proving very satisfactory. The same firm, are now putting .in the same illuminant at Buckley's Brewery. The development of the Tin-plate Stamping Works is being watched with interest. The enterprising directors have spent a large sum of money recently in order to perfect their enamelling process. This is the only works of its kind in Wales, and several large orders from the War Office have been satisfactorily executed during the last twelve months. NEWPORT COAL TRADE. The quantity 01 coal exported from the port of Newport for the week ended September 28 was as follows:—Foreign, 63,459 tons; coast- wise, 17,896 tons. SWANSEA HARBOUR TIN-PLATE TRAFFIC.

ABERBEEG WOMAN'S SAD END. Mr. Eoberts-Jonea held an inquiry at Crumlin Police-station on Tuesday evening into the death of Mary Noble, 53, who was drowned. in tht Penyvan Pond, near Aber- beeg. Alfred Noble, husband of the deceased, said his wife was not addicted to drinking habits. He could not account for the presence of his wife in the vicinity of the pond. Deceased was in tho habit of occasionally staying out at night, but on each of these occasions she left home in a temper. Witness had never "bused or struck her. He had itt,ver heard his wife threaten to destroy her- self, but he had told his wife that if she did not alte-* he was afraid she might destroy herself. The Coroner: Then you were the first to suggest such a step as h2r taking her life away. Mrs. Williams, a neighbour, said deceased came to her house on the Saturday night without a hat and skirt, and witness gave her ss-me clothes of her own. Deceased was under the influence of dvink at the time. Police-constable Turner, Aberbeeg, said deceased was in Aberbeeg earlier on the Saturday afternoon, and was then under the ii.fiuence of drink. Har clothes were also vevy dirty. Dr. P. C. Baillieu said he had attended deceased previously for softening of the brain, and his contention was that deceased cam. mitted suicide whilst of unsound mind. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned

PONTYPRIDD SCHOOL BOARD. At Tuesday's meeting of the Pontypridd School Board, with the Rev. Joshua Thomas in the chair, the Rev. E. Rowland wrote com- plaining that Mr. Kirker. until recently his assistant, had visited the deaf and dumb school and interfered with the scholars.—Mr. John, the headmaster, wrote that Mr. Kirker's visit was made during the dinner hour, while he (Mr. John) was absent.—It was explained that there wore now opposition deaf and dumb missionaries in the town, and Mr. Jones- Powell said there was no place for two there. —Mr. Philip Jones moved that no one be allowed to attend the deaf and dumb school during school hours.—The motion was pasakd. —It was decided to isaue a preoept on the over- seers for the current six months for £ 7,000, which means a loid. rate, the same as at pre- sent.

BRUTAL BRECON HUSBAND. At Brecon Borough Police-court on Monday Thomas Williams, labourer, Newgate-street, was charged with assaulting his wife, Ann Williams, on Saturday night, September 21. -Complainant stated that her husband was taking out a jar for beer on the night in question, when she remonstrated with him and told him he ought not to have beer when he had not brought home any money for their maintenance. He threw several teacups at her, and emptied a tin of. water over her. She struck him with the tin, and he ran after her, and, in a neighbour's house, he threw her down. kicked her on the face, and inflicted other injuries about her legs and body.— Defendant, against whom there were numerous convictions, was sentenced to three months imprisonment with hard labour.

NEW SWANSEA WATER- WORKS. LAYING THE FOUNDATION-STONE AT CRAY. A very interesting function was performed on Tuesday by the Mayor of Swansea (Council- lor William Wntkins) at the Swansea, new waterworks at Cray, Brecoashire. viz., the laying of the f.oundation-stone of the masonry dam for the new reservoir. Accompanied by the members of the corporation and a few friends, the mayor left Swansea by the eleven a.m. Midland train for Cray, where vehicles were in waiting to convey them to the scenj of the ceremony. The undertaking has been previously described. The contract having fallen through, the works have just passed under the super- vision of Mr. Dix, who acts in future for the corporation as manager. The works are to far in a very backward stage. The dam acrosR the valley to impound 1.000 million gallons, or a water area of log acres, has yet to be con- structed. Extensive excavations have been made, however, and on arriving on the sceie the mayor and the consulting engineer (Mr. Hill) at once conducted the company to the rock bottom from which the dam is to rise. This is over 30ft. deep, and the company descended by wooden steps. The mayor having brought his technical knowledge into play and spread the mortar, the stone wts lowered into place, aqd several of the company wielded the hammer upon it. The Mayor remarked that that was a memor- able day in the history of Swansea, and expressed the hope that the men employed would individually endeavour; to make the work a success. Mr. Hill explained that the water would be 100ft. in height above the surface of the ground, and they were then 30ft. below that surface. These dams depeaided largely on their own gravity, and it was most important .to prevent the water undermining them. Every care would be taken to make it a sound, dependable work. A luncheon was afterwards served in the mission-room on the works. The Mayor, after proposing the loyal toast, gave the health of the consulting engineer (Mr. Hill) and the other engineers and officials. Mr. Hill, replying, said the work consisted, not merely of the dam they saw that day, but also of a tunnel three miles long. Other toasts followed, and the company afterwards visited the tunnel and other parts of the works, and after a returned to Swansea. • rttf), iilarrvages, lieatfrs*
