MONEY MARKET. [SPECIALLY TELEGRAPHED. J LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. The expectatron pretty generally entertained that the Bank of England directors would make some alteration in the rate has not been verified, the quotation remaining at 3 per ceat. The general position of the market continues much about the same. Business is not active, but a steady tone prevails as regards discount, and 3 months' bills are not taken below 3 per cent. For short money there is not much inquiry, the charge being 2g to 21 per cent. The Bank return is unfavourable. The loss in reserve— £ 331,861—is made up of an increase of £ 656,680 in note circulation, and a decrease of £ 175,181 in bullion. The proportion of reserve to liabilities is 34- 03 against 38'17 per cent last week. The Stock of bullion is now E21,010,877, and the res ji ve £ 10,491,152. The aggregate deposits held are fully JB1,000,000, in excess of last week. The im provement in the demand for money is shewn in the increase of 21,961,064 in the other sec unties. Stock Exchange business was of the usual quiet character, continental Bourses being closed on account of Ascension Day. There has been no foreign supports to the markets. In all securi- ties, both hone and foPSigTT, dèaIftig was very i iiig slight, npd not much raoveineut'was noticed.

The stagnation in the English Railway Market is unrelieved. Business was extremely quiet, and prices were occasionally easier. The result of the past week's working on the seventeen principal lines of England and Scotland is a loss in traffic of £ l'l,431; in passengers the decrease is £ 31,735 but goods show an excess of 917,304.

In the accounts for the half year t'uefe was nothing very exceptjonal.v-1'h'ey were "*iiot particularly ciiey Par good, neither were they particularly bad. The net icvenue of the past dialf-year could not be '¿It with for the "nffit of the shareholders, -be- cause it was swallowed up-in consequence of the accident which,'occurred last year, and in Parlia- mentary arid Sjtber expenses. He hoped that in twel ve months' hence, when they were associated with a niore powerful company,to find-themselves in a much better position.—Tiie report and state- ment of accounts were adopted and it was re- sol ved to transfer the £ 3,740 lis ld, made up of the two sums above mentioned, to the accident and demurrage account, there being, as the chair- man explained, no alternative in the matter.—Mr E. J.

Homfray, who occupied the position of chairman of the company for upwards of 40 years. As the company was now absorbed in the Alexandra Dock Company, it was not necessary to appoint a successor.—Mr C. R. Lyne seconded the motion, and it -was carried.— The Chairman, in endorsing what had been said about the non- necessity of electing another chairman, paid a tribute to^the" memory of Mr Homfray. The meeting concluded with the usual vote of thanks to Col. Lyne for presiding.

CORRESPONDENCE. AMATEUR ATHLETICS. TO THE EDlTOlt. SIR -.Allow me, through the medium of your paper: to call the attention of gentlemen amateurs who intend competing in any races in South Wales to the following law passed by the Amateur Athletic Association On and after January 1st, 1383, all amateurs who wilfully compete at sports not held under laws approved of by- the Amateur Athletic Association will render themselves liable to be I declared ineligible to compete at meetings held by the associated clubs for such period as may 1)3 thought fit, and the association gives notice that the -penalty for breach of this law will be strictly enforced." As, one of the laws of the ,A.A.A. is that.,all competitions must be limited' to amateurs, my/ reason for troubling you is, to, remind gentiemen amateurs that by entering 'ut the forthcoming j Whitsuntide athletic meetings where there are pro races as well, that they are running the risk of being disqualified from competing at sports held under A.A.A. laws. I may sayfthat the committee of the A.A. A., thinking the rule was not generally known, did not enforce it at Easter, but are determined to do so in future. — I atii, &c. AMATEUR. May 2Ad, 1883.

The experi- ence of a quarter of a century in England, 011 the Con- tinent, and in Ameriea, proves positively that the nearest approach to a specific for these pains and all other disorders of the bowels, liver, kidneys, and stomach has been discovered in the worid-famed medi- cine, George's Pile and Gravel Pills.'

-4p CHESTER MEETING. Y ESTERDA Y. The weather on the concluding day of the Chester Meeting was beautifully fine, and a large company stayed to witness the wind-up of the gathering; but although the fields throughout the three days have not been particularly large, some fair sport has been provided, and the meeting, taken 'altogether, must be pronounced a success. Racinc was resumed with the May Stakes, which went to Kerse, who was a 7 to 1 chance. The Rona filly was made a great favourite for the Roodee Selling Welter, but she was no match for Conquest, who won in a canter. Five runners weighed out for the old-fashioned Dee Stakes, which resulted in a turn-up in John Jones, who won in a canter, and was a 10 to 1 t-hance. Shaker upset a lot of money en- trusted to Sir Charles for the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Great Cheshire Handicap was cantered away with by Whipper-in, next to who finished the City and Suburban winner, Roy^terer. The other races call for no comment. Details :— The MAY STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for two year ollis; colts 9st, fillies and geldings 8st 111b allowances. Five furlonirs.

THE WIFE MUllDEl! IN THE llHOiSDDA. Our Treorky correspondent writes on Thursday nightThe shocking tragedy perpetrated at Blaenyewni near Treherbert,on Monday evening, is still the universal thema ot conversation among the inhabitants of the upper portion of the Rhondda. Such occurrences ill the neighbourhood are so rare that it is doubtful whether the annals of the ilhondda Valioy have ever been so stained with such a "bloody" deed. Ihe scene of the murder has been visited by many hundreds of persons, many going there with the belief that they would be able to see the murdered woman's corps, but all have been disappointed owing to its being locked up and the key of the house being in the possession of the police. Somej; difficulty," I believe, has been experienced in regard to promptly opening tne inquest, owing to the lamented death of Mr George Overton, the late district coroner. I am informed that when Mr Overton died. Mr Thos. Williams, his deputy, also ceased to hold that office. However, Inspec- tor Thomas, Treherbort, received instructions to- day that he could order a post-mortem examina- tion to be made, and Ur. War'ourtoi», Treherbert, has performed that operation this evening. In- spector Thomas was also instructed that the inquest would be opened to-morrow (Friday) morning, at the Hendreowen Hotel, Blaenycwm, and that probably Mr Grover, Pontypridd, or Mr Coroner Reece, of Cardiff, would conduct the inquiry.

[SPECIAL REPORTS FROM OCR TRADE CORRESPON- DENTS AND EXCLUSIVE SOURCES.] CARDIFF TRADE REPORT. [SPECIAL RETORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CARDIFF, Thursday Night.—The clearances of coal here for foreign ports since the date of my last report have returned to something more nearly approaching their normal level, and the exceptional pressure on the market lately experienced appears in a great measure to be alleviated. Many shippers, however, have had so much work on hand, especially at the commence- ment of the week, that they have been unable to avoid incurring a large amount of demurrage. Prices, though firm, are not quotably altered, a fact which would tend to show that while the present output continues un- interrupted it will require a demand even much more active than that which we have lately experienced to affect our market to any notable extent. There is 110 immediate prospect of a falling off in our clearances, the arrivals of fresh tonnage during the week now ending having again been very considerable. They include a large number of steamers from Bilbao with iron ore. At the same time the prevalence of easterly winds has doubtless kept out of our channel a certain quantity of sailing tonnage which would otherwise have made the port. The freight market is generally unchanged, Orders are moderately plentiful, but the amount of local chartering has been but limited, inasmuch as neither steam nor sailing tonnage is at the moment very readiiy obtainable for the freights offered. Rates for the northern French ports are still very low, but quo. tations for the Bay keep steady. With some excep- tions Spanish coal freights are firmer. Rates are flat in the iron ore carrying trade both from Bilbao and the Mediterranean. Coal freights for Italian ports are steady, with a slight improvement in some cases. There is a steady demand for tonnage for Gibraltar and Port Said, and the Malta rates keep firm. Quotations are firm generally for all ports in the higher Mediterranean and Black Sea. Homeward business from the Black Sea continues flat. The same may be said of Baltic coal freights outwards. Rates out with coal to the East Indies are firm, but homeward chartering in this quarter is quiet. West Indian coal freights are firm, as are also those for the River Plate and Brazilian ports. There is nothing doing in transatlantic steam charter- ing for coals. In the United States iron trade rates are improving for steam tonnage. Homeward business for the United States, however, continues flat. Exports for the week :-Coal, 119,609 tons iron, 5,077 tons patent fuel, 1,080 tons coke, 930 tons. Imports for the week Iron ore, 30,139 tons pit. wood, 6,276 tons.

SWANSEA TRADE REPORT. [SPECIAL REPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. 1 SWANSEA, Thursday Ni,ht.-The winds prevailing during the past week have not been favourable to sail- ing vessels bound up Channel, but the arrival of a fair amount of steam tonnage has improved the aspect of affairs at the docks as compared with recent weeks. In most departments an improved tone is observable, and the total imports have been large. Loading has been carried on briskly, and the bulk of the available ton- nage has been utilised, the net result being that coal and vatcllt fuel shipments show a large increase over the previous week.

NEWPORT TRADE REPORT. [SPECIAL REPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT,] NEWPORT. Thursday. —The quantity of coal shipped during the past week is considerably over the average, and shippers have had as much as they could do to keep clear of demurrage. Not only has the quantities shipped exceeded the usual exports, but the amount ot tonnage in port is sufficient to keep the collieries in work for some daps to come. Freights have not materially altered. For some of the Mediterranean ports, as Marseilles and the Danube, slightly better rates have ruled, whilst the inquiry for Genoa and Savona having fallen off, steamers have been obliged to accept lower rates. There is still a fair demand for tonnage to the Brazilian ports, but freights for the River Plate are quiet. Quotations for the Spanish, Atlantic, and French Bay ports are very quiet, while there is still less doing for the northern ports of France. The inquiry for the Baltic is quiet for the time of year. Coastwise rates are exceptionally low and obtained with difficulty. Bilbao homewards there is little doing. Both docks are well supplied with shipping, and I there is a fair quantity of tonnage in the river. Iron.—There is nothing to note in regard to any alteration in price. The works are still brisk, and the f- quantities arriving for shipment are consider^0i§' Clearances during the week consist of 1 cargo-fotiMon- treal, 1 cargo for the Danube, part cargo-for" Genoa j" cargo for Smyrna, I cargo for Emu (Tasmania), 1 carp- for Tampico, 1 cargo for New York (including 460 t' /I of tin-plates), and part cargoes for Pomaron, Ve and Oporto. ,mce.

YYJEJOJ. lvil —— BIRMINGF otANDS TRADE REPORT. id not sl- .AM, Thursday.—The market this afternoon uy.efr? oW much improvement on a week ago. Alike, >nd sellers acted with a good deal of caution, gJ tg still uncertain as to what effect the present Ation in the coal trade may have upon the prices of ,-on, though the impression was less strong this week than last that the effect will be of much consequence. Orders were not plentiful in any department. A ative pig makers announced that the demand for all-mine sorts was very slow, and that present prices were profitless. These are 65s nominal for hot-blast sorts, and 85s nominal for cold-blast. Part-mines and cinder pigs showed rather more activity than best pigs. The former were 50s to 4s, and the latter 4Cs and a little under. The prices of pigs made in other districts were weaker, yet the demand was not improved. North- ampton might have been had at 45s upwards, and Derbyshires at 47s 6d upwards, delivered to stations. Buyers of hematites stated that they were getting some descriptions at 60s per ton, but the general price was 62s 6d to 65s. One or two of the superior finished-iron makers, who have up to recently been regulated in their prices by the action of what are termed tho "list" houses, are breaking away more and more from this inner circle, consequent upon finding it impossible to get any large volume of business at the full "list" rates. The result of this acceptance of prices somewhat nearer the average of the market for good quality bars and sheets is seen in a decided increase in the work doing by these firms alike on export and home account. Such houses were prepared this afternoon to take orders for marked bars at about S7 5s to F,7, and for sheets at about £ 8 10s, the quotation of the" list" houses being 10s per ton more than the e figures. Unmarked bars varied according to quality from B6 15s to £6. Inferior descriptions of finished iron were quoted :— Hinge stnp, S7 10s gas strip, jB6 5s, E6 15s, and B7 5s, according to quality sash iron, B8 5s tack sheets, of 18 w.g.. t:7 10s and tank plates, not thinner than 13 w.g., Some makers of gas and locomotive strip refused to quote except against specifications. Manors of galvanized sheets reported themselves a little better employed, though they cannot yet see far ahead. the coal market was disorganised. It has been thrown into disorder by the issue of Earl Dudley's cir- cular announcing a drop of Is per ton. This has been followed up by a request from the other members of the coal trade that his lordship's agent would suspend the circular for a fortnight, as the men are protesting against the consequent reduction in wages. Meaii- wnne their claims and those of their masters will be referred to arbitratiun. Owners are somewhat at a loss, therefore, to know upon what quotations to base sales, and buyers, hoping that the market will be more in their favour in a week or two's time than now, are declining to place any large contracts. The circular which Earl Dudley has issued makes his lordship's prices of thick coal-Earl of Dudley's furnace sorts, los per ton forge, 9s steam, 9g heathen coal, forge, 10s; new mine coal, 9 6d. As 'Change closed, it was generally understood that Earl Dudley's agent (Mr E. Fisher Smith) had de. clined to make any promise to suspend the circular. This information, however, was not sufficiently deliuite to lessen the uncertainty as to coal rates, and had 110 effect upon iron prices

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND COAL TRADES. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Thursday. The pig-iron trade has not shown any improvement this week, and busi- ness has kept dull, notwithstanding that shipments in April were about 13,000 tons in excess of those for March, and that an enlargement in general foreign and coastwise demand has taken place. Thero was a larger quantity of iron sent to Scotland than for a long time past. To South Wales also an improvement upon the prevjous month was noticeable, though the delivery was much below the average, and nearly 3,000 tons below that of April last year. Last month the quantity of pig-iron sent to South Wales from Cleve- land was 4,315 tons. This, however, was, on the average, not much more than half the usual delivery, taking last year and the year before as the liasis. Taking the first four months of the year, the quantity of pig iron sent to South Wales was betv een 15,000 and 16,000 tons, just about half what it was in the corresponding four months of 1882, when the delivery was about 32,OOU tons. This falling off is a rather serious one, and somewhat difficult to account for,1 as pig iron, especially within the last few weeks, has not been relatively higher in Cleveland than in other parts of the country. So far as prices' go, they have been maintained )n the basis of 40s No. 3, and Is less for No. 4 forge. These rates have been very fairly main- tained, as sellers generally will not accept less. Buyers, however, are holding off for the reason that the Scotch market does not improve, and also owing to the difficulty which has arisen in the finished iron trade, which rather tends to unsettle things, although at the same time the probability is that uo stoppage of work will occur at any cf the ironworks in the North of England. At the same time the Iron Trade Arbi- tration Board may be placed in a serious difficulty. So far as manufactured iron goes, there is very little change in price. The tendency, however, 011 tho whole is weaker, but this is considered to be only temporary, and when the present difficulty with the ironworkers respecting Monday labour is disposed of, the chances are that the trade will again quickly recover itself. Ship plates are £ 6 2s 6d bars, £ 5 17s 6d to £ 6; boiler plates, £ 7 5s sheets, £ 7 5s to £ 7 10s; angles, f,5 12:3 6\1 to £5 15s, all less 2 per cent. commission; puddle i bars, £3 15s nett. The board of arbitration meets on Friday to endeavour to settle the ditticulty above referred to, but the puddlers have already given way. The return for the prices of iron for the first quarter of the year shows a reduction of 2s 6d per ton uuoii the December quarter in rails, plates, bar, and angles, the net average price being £6 s. There is also a considerable reduction ot output of about 16,000 tons, for the reason that one or two of the plate mills have been closed. The steel trade keeps slack, and prices do not improve. The steam coal trade of the North of England has been very brisk indeed. Last week it was reported that so much activity had not been known for years, and very favourable auguries are drawn as to trade for the coming season. Best coals for present delivery are Gs 6d, but for forward account up to 10s is a«ked, aii(I buyers have had, in some cases, a difficulty to get their orders placed. Shipments all the Tyne and Wear, at the presen; time, are extremely busy. The household coal trade has been steady, and there has been no change in prices, either in this department or in manu- facturing coals. Coke has kept pretty uniform in price, aad demand for Ivtal accent few ifwa^ed, though there is some little addition to inquiry for ship ping purposes.

AGRICULTURAL REVIEW. [FROM OUR AGRICULTURAL CORRESPONDENT. ] The temperature continues to be variable, but on the whole, the great improvement in crop prospects which I noted last week continues. There have been genial days with a warm rain- fall that gave a great impetus to plant growth, and then comes a severe change with cutting winds that shrivel and wither the tender plants, and nip the bursting buds. More or less, how- ever, 1 have always found this to be the case 'I Between April and about the middle of June. It is the period of the year when easterly winds most prevail, and if they do no more harm than they have yet done, and do not extend far into the season, all will be well. The latest reports concerning foot-and-mouth disease are not favourable. Fresh and virulent outbreaks occur in counties wide apart. The disease has been increasing in Derbyshire, and in some parts of Yorkshire to an alarming extent, and the weekly returns from Cheshire up to Tuesday last shew a considerable increase in the number of animals affected. Some Welsh far- mers have also suffered severely from this cause. This is, indeed, the one cloud that is throwing its dark shadow over the agricultural prospects of 1883. The veterinary report recently is- sued by Professor Brown from the Privy Council on this subject is an important document well worthy the attention of chambers of agriculture. In this report the professor sums up in three heads the suggestion of chambers of up in three heads the suggestion of chambers of agriculture, &c., and then deals with each in order. It is proposed by some chambers, he tells us, to prohibit the landing of animals from foreign countries where disease is known to exist. Others ask that the importation of animals should be prohibited from countries not free from disease; while the third suggestion is to exclude animals from all countries permanently, and substitute a dead meat for a live meat trade. Professor Brown at once con- demns the exceptional schemes of prohibition as practically useless. To ascertain the countries where disease existed and where it did not exist would involve an immense expenditure of time and trouble, and,after all,no precautionscould pre- vent the landing from time to time of animals affected with foot-and-mouth disease. But total prohibition of the landing of animals from all foreign sources and under all conditions the pro- fessor declares to be an intelligible proposition which may be discussed on its merits. Total pro- hibition, we are told, is not provided for in the act of 1878, so that the Privy Council cannot, without asking Parliament for further powers, go the lengthof prohibiting the landing of animals altogether from jail countries. Professor Brown therefore points out that an amendment act would be necessary to give effect to the proposal to prevent the landing of live animals. It is only by the passing of some such 0 measure that there can be reasonable security I our home flocks and herds against foreign yor,*>' tion. Absolute security, Professor Brov observes, is a well-sounding phrase, br' ^ell not be forgotten that infection may -6 i-. must by the agency of persons and su' Conveyed have been in contact with diseac ces which would be well, therefore, .e"animls." It interest and chambers of .,Ie agricultural could realise the difficult- Wp- .culture generally decide upon how it k the position, and now on excellent auf* De faced. We have it of the landing of a' .n<JF'i,y that total prohibition and the substitti' is from all foreign sources, meat trade, ip or- this loss of a foreign dead periodical) only safe way of preventing abr^dis v nations of cattle disease from .of'. the ,Ot alleged that the stock breeders ffEoclt" -°d Kingdom require foreign store liL a, keep up their supplies, but there ygS prevailing opinion that the price 1 a tellers' meat would be considerably Ier even than it is at present if we imported y .j more live animals. This is the idea. that has to be combated, and the fallacy of which can only be shown by estimating the enormous losses that an invasion of cattle disease inflicts on English cattle breeders and sheep farmers, and in the second place, by making it known how very small is The percentage of the meat supply of the entire 28untry that we derive from foreign sources. Professor Brown concludes by saying that under under all the circumstances it would be well to be prepaired to accept all the consequences which would result from the withdrawal of the whole live-meat supply which we receive from the conti- nent of Europe, from the day on which the act prohibiting the landing of animals from abroad takes eltect. 1 may also mention mat it is statea in this report that the amount of compensation paid by local authorities for diseased animals slaughtered in Great Britain for 1882 was 229,064. I have recently been over fields of beans, peas, wheat, and barley, where the weeds were putting in an ugly appearance, and since the showery weather they must have been growing apace. In all such cases the horse-hoe should be kept constantly at work, and peas should be thoroughly cleared of weeds before they begin to shoot out their tendrils. If the horse-hoe cannot be used hand work must be resorted to. Turnip fallows must now also be attended to without delay. Scuffle, harrow androH, and pick the twitch, and burn it witii other weeds. It is, perhaps, two or three weeks too soon to think of swede sowing. Better to wait for the warm nights when the plants will come on faster and will be sooner safe from fly attacks. A farmer of upwards of 50 years' experience assured me the other day that he has never had a field of turnips badly attacked with fly, and that the secret of his good fortune is that he sows rather late, and when the plants are just up he gives them a light covering of quick-lime, but not to be put on too soon after staking. A dressing with artificial manure mixed with some from the yard wonderfully hastens the growth of young turnips. This is the usual month for putting both cow and sheep stock in their pastures for the summer, but on several farms that I have recently visited, I doubt the advisioility of doing so just yet. Grass has not made rapid progress, and there is little of it except in the earlier meadows besides, in many places the nights have been much too cold for the young calves. However, during the last two or three weeks vegetation of. all kinds have been making steady, if not rapid progress, so that no doubt in some places the cattle will now do well in the pastures. Cart mares, after foaling, should rest for a month, and for the (irst fortnight mares and foals should be brought in at night, and during,the day if it rain?, or the foals may take cold and die, as they arc very tender at this age. Many sheep farmers are feeling anxious just now, as they fall short of keep. But this is more or less invariably the case at the beginning of May, and on this head I do not think that as yet there is much occasion to grumble. Should we have a combination of moist, showery weather, say, for another week, grass will be sure to come forward rapidly, and before the middle of the month there may be as luxu- riant a, growth as during the best of seasons at that time of the year. Ensilage experiments are certain to be carried out this season on many large farms, and should it turn out lo be an unprofitable hay- making year, the owners of properly constructed silos will find that they are "on the right side of the ditch." But what about the small farmers who.are not in a position to try these experiments? Where landowners are convinced of the value of ensilage as cattle food, they could not, I think, do better than take some steps to encourage the construction of silos on their estates. It has been clearly shown by experiments that there are some green crops that, if properly ensilaged, are a splendid milk-producing food, and the construc- tion of silos 011 an estate would be the best encouragement that could be given to small farmers who cannot command pasture land to try and grow green crops that will ensilage well. Mr Thomas Christy, writing in one of the agricultural papers, goes the length of saying that by this process small farmers might be made quite independent of pasture land." Some remarkable cases of fertility amongst both cows and sheep, and in different parts of the country, have recently occurred. A correspon- dent of the Live Stock Journal records that last year Mr Harry Goodale, at Petsy market, Dray- ton, purchased a yearling son of Baron Yarwath, a shorthorn bull of some celebrity in the North of England. Used to his dairy stock, he has produced somewhat extraordinary results, three of the cows dropping to him no less than seven cows in a fortnight, which have since been supplemented by two more from a two-year-old heifer. The bull, one year and 11 months old, was purchased by a butcher for L37 15s. but has since been resold for stock purposes. This is a striking instance of the profit that there is in a well-bred animal. Here is another remarkable case. Mr Arthur S. Richards, of Torrington, writes that on the 11th April a north Devon cow of MrW. Stanbury's, of Norwood Fann (reatTor- rington, presented him with three fine bull calves. She calved a fortnight before due, and the young bulls are all doing well. Amongst my flock notes I find the entry that about ten days ago an ewe belonging to Mr Chapman, of Riley t Farm, Derbyshire Peak, gave birth to four lambs, and both mother and lambs are doing so well that Mr Chapman has serious intentions of sending the interesting family as a present to her Majesty the Queen. Country visitors at Mark Lane, on Monday, were in good spirits, and reported that the ap- pearance of grass and growing wheats was chang- ing rapidly for the better. Considering the fine- ness of the weather, the corn market at Mark Lane on Monday was fairly steady, and less depressed than anticipated, although not much business was done. English wheat came in sparingly, and changed hands slowly at about late rates. There was an ad vancc of 3d on oats. Last week's sales of l'hi^H°h wheat were 61,022 qrs., at *2s, "against 4-1,762 qrs., at 46s lid in the corre- spoud* w eek n f I aa t ye%r, woki. tho average price of English wheat has been above that of the very low averages of 1879, but it is still unduly cheap, being kept down by the heavy wheat and Hour receipts from abroad. At the metropolitan cattle market on Monday there was a fair supply of beasts, and best sorts and crosses made from 5s 8d to 5s lOd per 81bs. There was about the usual supply of sheep, and prices were unchanged but lamb was scarce and decidedly dearer, selling at from 8s to 9s per 81bs. The Royal mandate against the.consumption of lamb has been withdrawn. It was a blunder that occasioned a temporary depression in market prices very annoying to farmers who had bred lambs specially for the butcher and not for stock, and who, of course, could not keep for stock all the lambs they had bred. But prices are up again, and probably before a week the demand for lamb will be brisker than ever. The Queen meanwhile has done a very graceful thing in has" tening to assure us that "inconvenience and loss in many quarters" were very far from her inten- tions, and that she has no desire to set an exam- ple in this matter which would interfere with the ordinary course of trade." Mr Lattimore, a well- known sheep farmer in Hertfordshire, has written to one of the daily papers stating that he !ost L30 on a lot of 100 lambs through the sudden drop in the market prices.

CARDIFF COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY.—(Before Judge SELFE.) AN INTERPLEADER.—Morgan v. Case.—Mr Bel- cher appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Scott for de- fendant. Plaintiff in this case claimed damages for the illegal sale of her household furniture, and for injury to business caused by the sale. Plaintiff, Miss Morgan, lived with her father, who carried OJI business as a grocer at Brooklyn House, Penarth. He in December last fell into difficul- ties. Mr Pearce, Cardiff, held a bill of sale on the goods, and on the 9th of the same month he sold the goods of John Morgan, the father, by public auction under the bill of sale. A man named John Williams, residing at Whitchurch, a friend of John Morgan, bought nearly all the goods. On the following day, 10th December, he sold a quantity of the goods, consisting of the household furniture, or the principal portions of them, to Miss Jane Morgan, the daughter, for 212 10s. This money, she alleged, she had saved up, being the wages her father had paid her for several years' management of his business. She had saved up altogether JB15. With this fur- niture and with the little money left she went to a new house at Ely-road, Canton, belonging to Mr Pearce, and where she proposed to maintain herself by inedlework. A few days aftsrwards Mr Harvey S. Case, who was a creditor of the father of plaintiff, sent in a bailiff to plaintiff's house, Ely-road. The bailiff remained in posses- sion a week, after which the goods were sold by auction and for the value of the goods, L12 10s, and also JB20 for damage to business and annoy- ance from having a bailiff in possession aud the sale of the goods, the present action was brought. For thedefence it was alleged that the sale of the goods by Williams to the plaintiff was a colourable transaction, that the father went to reside at Ely- road with his daughter, and that in reality the goods were his, and the residence in Ely-road was his, although it was alleged that he went to reside with his sister at Whitchurch, and only came to visit his daughter, and slept there for her protection while the bailiff remained in posses- sion. The plaintiff and her father were called, as well as the man Williams, and from their evi- dence it appeared that the money was paid by the plaintiff for the goods. The transaction was a bdnaj fide one, and the sale, therefore,was an illegalVvg^ His Honour considered that the executioner was always put in an awkward position. he has to endeavour generally to show iit>ef.CaU ,e plaintiff was unworthy of credit.

There was no doubt that they /^5-ad been sold to the plaintiff, and as was been delivered to the purchaser, Ely<y *J,rr->ved by their removal to her house in h —a house which was hired by her in fa ./n name. lnere was no evidence ot any ^.lage having been sustained by plaintiff, and P.ny claim in this respect was one of a very shadowy character, although it was true that defendant was a trespasser. He would, therefore, award her Is damages, and direct that the full amount realised by the sale of the goods, with costs, be refunded to her. A HUSBAND'S RESPONSIBILITY.—Mr Borthwick, draper, had sued a Mr Hadden, Broadway, to recover balance of a debt contracted by his wife without his knowledge or consent. Mr Cousins appeared for plaintiff, and now applied for a judg- ment summons, defendant not appearing. It appeared that the wife was allowed by her hus- band LS a week for the support of herself and children and household expenses. She had pur- chased drapery goods from plaintiff, and left a balance outstanding. Summonses had been served at the house for the husband, but she ad- mitted that she never allowed him to see them, although she stated that she had her husband's authority that if the £3 a week was not sufficient she could pledge his credit.—His Honour doubted whether under the circumstances he would be justified in granting a judgment summons. Con- sidering the position of the woman, he thought that £ 3 a week might be considered as being ample allowance, aud that she had no Tight to pledge her husband's credit. He might also have privately told her not to do so, and as she refused to allow the summonses to reach him he might not know anything about the transaction, as the credit was given to the wife, not to the husband. Mr Cousins urged that a summons left at the de- fendant's house and served on a person over 16 years of age would, under ordinary circumstances, be deemed a good and efficient service.-His Honour considered that under ordinary circum- stances..he could be compelled to make an order, but hé was here asked to issue a judgment sum- mons upon a man who very probably knew no- thing of the transaction. He thought the best course was to issue another summons, the bailiff to find out the defendant, and to .serve it upon him without leaving it at the house. The applica- tion would stand over tothe next court.

CLEVELAND IRONMASTERS' RETURNS. The CleveYand ironmasters' returns, issued on Thurs- day, show a total production of all classes of pig-iron for April of 229,217 tons, 77,000 tons of this being hema- tite and basic iron. There was a decrease of stocks of Cleveland iron of 16,295 tons, against a reduction of 504 tons in March. The lare reduction in April caused by increased shipments is encouraging, seeing that an in- crease in the winter months of 70,0(X) tons appeared. The total stock now held is 291,000 tons.

NEWCASTLE TRADE REPORT. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Thursday. Northumber- land coal trade turns are longer than they have been for some time, the demand being very large. The best steam coal is firm, at 9s 6d, less five per cent, and there is some talk of even higher rates. Other qualities re- main unchanged, In the manufactured iron trade anxiety is manifested in reference to a strike of en- gineers, which threatens to extend. With this excep- tion trade is satisfactory, both in extent and remunera- tiveness. In chemicals the restriction of production of bleaching powder has commenced. Business is quiet at late rates,
