I NEW LAW ON THE SALE OF FOOD. The important st;.iute to repeal the AdulU, 7' Acts and to make better provision for the s!]e f? orf drugs in a pure state has just been printed TU an™ ments, which will take effect on the 1st October numerous and of interest. There are provisions to n 1 -u-i the mixing of injurious ingredients, and of i»it„ lu tame, both as to food acd drugs. No person is to^ compojind article which isnob inaccordance with the deman i of the customer. Analysts are to be everywhere appointed and a purchaser can have an article analysed for 10s. 64' Certain officers can purchase articles, aad for refusing sell the same a penalty of £ 10 cun be imposed. A defen- dant and his wife are capable of being examined. The most important provision is that a defendant is to be dis- charged if he prove that he bought the article in the same- state as he sold it with a warranty. The Act is to ^pply to 6e United Kingdom.

FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENTS AND PXCLUSIVK SOURCES. SOUTH WALES COAL AND IRON SHIP"MENT £ (SPECIAL REPORT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CARDIFF, Thursday Night.—The shipments are not quite up to the total of clearances for foreign ports for the previous week, but the port seems, nevertheless, in a satisfactory state of activity. The docks are well filled with tonnage, and the principal shippers are not only well employed, but even in some cases inconveniently busy. Perhaps owing tn this temporary pressure opera- tions for future shipments have during the pafct week been ratbtr few. Those who have foreign orders in hand have shewn little desire to exec,i)t» in consequeiic-e of the present comparative difficulty in arranging for loading and at the same time there stems to be an absence of chips seeking employment, which, combined with the < tiier cir- cumstances I have mentioned, has made the week just ended a dull one, especially in the opinion of t.he broker?. The entries outwards of vessels to in "ardiff during the week comprise 45 steamers, of the o timi ted bin then of 44,004 tons, and 90 e«iiing vesst ls, calculated to carry 39, /S9 tons, making a total of 83,853 tons, against 92,157 tons of L«-t week. The fresh supply of tonnage mr-upth for the week to 12,537 tons, and in'lNewpoit to 6.728 tons. mr-upth for the week to 12,537 ,,iid in inewl)oit to 6.728 tons. I Cardiff has cleared foreign during tho week, 34 steamers and 74 ^ailiiig vessels, with 75,927 tens of co d 2,385 tons rÎ iron, and 1.830 tons patent fuel. Of the iron, 1,00 tons went to Montreal, 572 torn to &undswslJ 198 ton; to Bari, and 15 tons to Froy Bcntos, The cod' and irun shipments weie distributed aR follows :-Sr America, 10,004 tons: 13114- tons; Eastern Merh'teranean ports 11,116 ton* Mediter».cean port? 10,952 tons; East Indus, 7,742 tons; Afriei, et 6,095 to'is Sppju. 5,790 tons We*t Indies, 4,120 tons • 6,095 to-is Sppju. 5,790 tons V;e&t Indies, 4,120 tous; Poi tutzal, 1,284tons; and fla-tic, etc., 1,180 tons.

NEWCASTLE IRON AND COAL TRADE. (8PBCLAL REPORT FHOM OCH OWN CORFEPPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE-ON-TYKK, Thursday,-THERE are no signs of improvement in the trsde of th« fli^Vkt. and in some manufeetories, which have hitherto been bwiy. there is such am absence of orders that it is feared that if there is not a char-a soon a larjee number of mo will l»e dis- charged, and some ef the w,U laid in. The coal trjule keeps qv.iet, and gas coals, which usually begin to he iu demand at this tame aie not much inquired for. Prices ran e from fw. Cd. to 10; per ton. Household coals, owing tu the very fine weather, are more a drug tbfin before. Only ett-am co-PIR keep up their price, and are in demand. Ibe chemical trade is, if anything, quieter; while in the iron trade there ia no substantial improve- ment. Ihe.e WAS a alight iiuprovemtini iu ehippiuga week or two ago for corn freight, but the fine weatW has put a f-top to the inquiry, and freights are low, and engagements not easily obtained.

LONDON GRAIN TRADE REPORT. (SPECIAL REPORT FROM OUR OWN consizsroNDFNT.) LONDON, Friday.-The grain trade has been very quiet. The weather has been fine for harvest purposes, and the wheat has been secured in much bttter condition than waa expected would be the case a short time ago. Still, the yield is very deficient, and really choice samples are scarce. At Mark-lane, to-rly, there has been a fair show of new produce, the condition of which has been good, but the quality rather second rate. Business has pro- gressed very quietly, and prices have fallen one or two t-t%es per quarter, the best Talavera being obtainable at 54s per qr. Old samples have been held for about late rates. Foreign wheat has been in full averase supply, and has sold slowly at drooping prices. The quantity of British wheat disposed of at Mark-lane during the week ending August 17th was 794qrs.,and the average price 54s 4d. Barley has been dull and weak. Oats have been barely so firm, but not quotably lower. Maize, bean?, and peas have been quiet and unaltered. The flour market has been dull, and prices have encouraged pur- chasers.

The letters contain orders to the coloured militia companies, to seize the dojtots and stores of Arms, and to kill every white man.
