LONDON, Thursday. The Mo ney Market is quiet, with fair supplies of capital )ffering. Commercial enquiry is very moderate. Improving trade prospects have not so far resultod in any increase in the supply of bills, and tilctre is, consequently rather eager competition for the small number offering rates, therefore, are kept down. Three months' paper is taken at 1& per cent. Day-to-day loans are obtaiuable at i to a per cent. Continental Exchanges are not so strong as they were owing to the easier tendency of money. The Paris Cheque Exchange jvas telegraphed 25-145. The Bank of England return contains no spe- cial feature. The changes, taken altogether, are slight, but the result is some gain of strength, the reserve being £ 186,115 heavier than last week's, and the proportion to liabilities 42 '51 against 41'69 per cent. There had been a loss in bullion of L77,526, the stock now being L22,869,000, but a decrease in note circulation of £ 263,380. Other changes were slight. The reserve is* now £ 14,130,656^ or about £ 77,000 more than last year whilst the stock of bullion is J almost precisely the same now as then, when the bank rate was 2 per cent. A very meagre business has been passing on the Stock Exchange to-day. There was no feature in the market. American Railways were steady, but as a rule the restric- tion of dealings had the effect of producing weak- ness variations being, however, slight. Scarcely anything was done in English Rail- ways, and no particular change occurred. North British dividend was about what was anticipated, namely, 2 per cent, with a balance of about £ 500, against 3i, with L4,424 last year. The result of the past week'a working on the 17 principal lines of England and Scotland is a decreased traffic of £ 42,357. The loss in goods is £ 8,601, and in passengers £ 33,756.

FATAL EXPLOSION ON CARDIFF LADEN VESSEL. The Board of Trade inquiry was openeat Liverpool on Thursday—before the atipenery magistrate and assessors-into the circumstpes of an explosion on board the Liverpool *>n barque Hawarden Castle on the 3rd July. he evidence showed that the Hawarden cj;les which is owned by Mr David H.ichardf, 17, James-street, Liverpool, and others, aiJs a barque of 1,101 tons, loaded a cargo ofcs at Cardiff on the 26th June, and on the 29lh,iled for Monte Video, with a crew of 2inen all told. On the 3rd July, sevoatnen went down into the hold to ,wome chafing gear, and struck a light, wh a violent explosion occurred, severely inirf the men, one so much so that he died aferds. The fire was extinguished, and the vesserjrned to Falmouth. The question for detention was whether it was gas from the cc that exploded, or vapour from a barrel 0 anti- corrosive paint in the hold. The coal raibemi- anthracite coal from the Rhondda Vile and was said to give off explosive gas flel The paint contained amongst its ingredietfe 6ptba, and Dr. Dupre, of the Home Office, Be < had tested a small quantity of the paint, ntfound the naptha gave off a vapour highly Jflsffiable at an ordinary temperature.

THE STPVIKITAT GWERNA COLLIERY, MAESYCWMMER. At the Gvverna House Colliery, Maesycwmmer, the strike, which commenced over a fortnight ago, still continues, and we hear there is no possibility of any settlement being arrived at. The tools have all been taken into the company's store- house, and the workmen, numbering about 110, including boys, have all been paid up their money in full, and the whole of the workings rendered idle, with the exception of the pumping engine, which is kept going to clear the water ont of the workings. Some of the workmen have been successful in obtaining work elsewhere, but there are many of them out of work still, as the neigh- bouring collieries are full handed and trade in house coal is quiet.

CARDIFF TRADE REPORT. [SPKCIAL REPORT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CARDIFF, Thursday Night. — The shipments of coal this week have fallen off very consider- ably, compared with last week's clearances, in fact things have been exceedingly quiet all round since the date of my last report. The entries outwards of tonnage for loading are, however, still up to the average, and this may be taken as some encouragement. The docks are well filled with tonnage, but no difficulty is experienced in despatching vessels as they come forward, and it is more than ever evident that shippers are easy. In some cases a reduction has taken place in prices, and this may always be taken as a sign of slackness of trade. Many of the collieries con- tinue to be without a market for their outputs, and work has consequently been suspended in many cases. The weather continues to favour the movements of shipping, and some .excellent samples of our coals are being sent abroad in con- sequence. The freight market has remained generally un- changed during tia3 week. The improvement noticed in one or two quarters owing to the quarantine regulations has continued, but nothing worthy of especial notice has taken place. Orders are not very plentiful, and although there has been a fair amount of tonnage offering for em- ployment chartering has been rather quiet. Quotations outwards to French ports are steady but low, and the same may be said of the Spanisn coal freights. The homeward business from the ore ports has undergone no alteration. Italian coal freights continue at the recent improvement, but the Malta rate is unchanged. There is a firmer demand in the quotation for Gibraltar, while the Port Said rate is easier. Higher Mediterranean coal freights are steady, but the Baltic rates are unchanged. This latter remark also applies to the Black Sea outward rates, but the homeward busi- ness from this quarter has shown a slight im- provement. Tne demand for tonnage for the East Indies continues steady, and the homeward rates are unchanged. Outward West Indian rates of freight are flat, and there is nothing doing in homeward chartering thence. Rates are low for Brazilian and River Plate ports. There are no charters to report this week in connection with Transatlantic steam chartering for coals, neither is there anything outwards to the States, though the homeward freights from this quarter have im- proved a little. Exports for the week :-CoaJ, 96,094 tons; iron, 1,507 tons patent fuel, 2,820 tons coke, 20 tons. Imports for the week:-Iron ore, 12,737 tons; pitwood, 2,950 loads.

SWANSEA TRADE REPORT. SWANSEA, Thursday.—Dullness in nearly all branches has been the ruling feature of the shipping trade of the past week. The import trade, which for fully six weeks past has dis- played great activity, during the past week falls a good deal below the average, amounting only to 7,779 tons, made up of 5,702 tons of mineral ores, iron, and steel, and 2,077 tons timber and sundries. Of tin-plates 2,000 tons have been shipped for Philadelphia and Baltimore, and several parcels for continental ports. Exports in the coming week will probably be on a larger scale, tonnage just arrived and, to load, being considerable. Following the improvement manifested in the iron trade, there has been a distinct change for the better in the tin-plate trade during the week, the firm attitude of makers, the heavy shipments throughout the past month to the United States, and consequent re- duction of stocks, and the fact also that works are on stop this week for the third time, at length appears to be impressing buyers with the iact that the longer they now withhold their orders, the higher the figures they will have to pay, and they have been displaying a strong disposition to place orders, but their offers being below what makers are willing to close at, until the quarterly meetings, it is probable that much big business will come off. Oramary cokes have been sold during the week at 14s IC to 14s 3d. There has been a very good demand for Bessemer steels at 14s 3d to 14s 9d IC, and Siernen's steels at 15s IC. Ternes have also been in very great enquiry, but for this class of plates also, offers are much below what makers are willing to accept. I have noted a paragraph which appeared in your contemporary on Tuesday last, I ?xat?.PJa I'i'Sdated'ihe" iron ship Cape Horn entered the dock on Monday morning, completed I the discharge of her ballast by Tuesday morning, j was then hauled under the coal tips, and the loadiug of 1,800 tons of coal was completed by 8 a.rn. on Thursday, or exactly 72 hours after her arrival. Deducting, therefore, 24 hours for the discharging of her ballast, the vessel was occupied 43 hours loading 1,800 tons of coal, or at the rate of nearly 38 tons per hour. As comparisons are (the order of the day, I think it worthy of note that a case of rapid loading at Swansea, which far exceeds the above example, has taken place during jthe week. The Rowan s.s., of Glasgow, arrived at 110 a.m. on Saturday, was at once placed under tile tip, and by mid-night on the same day iinished loading 1,400 tons of coal in 14 hours, or at the rate ot 100 tons per hour. Imports coastwise—arsenic, 42 tons; zinc ashes, 15 tons block tin, 140 tons; bricks, 70 tons; tin- plates, 235 tons; tin-plate bars itud slabs, 1,053 tons; pig iron, 1,670 tons. Imports foreign—France pitwood, 325 tons apples, 28 tons; Lisbon Manganese ore, 192 tons; Bilbao iron ore, 600 tons; Tucacas copper ore, 1,500 tons Quebec timber, 600 loads St. John's Newfoundland deals 962 loads. Exports.—Foreign—Coals, 5,233 tons; patent fuel, 560 tons tin-plates, 10 tons. Cronstadt Coals, 1,380 tons. Copenhagen Coals, 420 tons, St Peteisburgh Copperas 220 tons. Ronneby One cargo sundries. Passages Patent fuel, 600 tons; coals, 360 tons. Lisbon Coals, 300 tons tin-plates, 36 tons copperas, 20 tons. Bilbao Tin-plates, 30 tons. Trieste Coals, 536 tons. Trepani Coals, 1,450 tons.

A striking iproof of the present state of the new entrance channel was afforded to-day.

THE IRON, COAL, AND HARDWARE TRADES OF THE WEST MIDLANDS. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday. Ironmasters on 'Change this afternoon reported a growing activity at the mills and forges. Works are now starting much earlier in the week than formerly, and some mills which were lately idle are now again iu operation. Galvanizers and hardware manufacturers are taking increased supplies, and export merchants are also sending forward more orders. The better business does not, however, appear in all branches. Angles and ternes are in rather quiet request. Chain and rivet iron continues to show moderate sales. There is an active demand in shoe and tire iron. Ordinary sizes of flats, rounds, and squares are in good request. The hoop trade shows more encouraging features, and enquiries are being received pretty regularly. The tube strip trade continues to gather strength. The prices quoted for tube strip vary from L5 7s 6d at works up- wards. Best hoops are £ 6 10s, and common, L5 10s. Boiler plates are £8 to L9, according to quality. The sheet makers continue to be best employed, some of the mills being run nearly full time. The higher prices quoted are adhered to. and some makers have refused to accept offers at less than B7 for galvanising sheets of 20 gauge 24 gauge are f-l 5s, and 27 gauge are L8 5,4. Marked bars remain firm at the list price of JS7 10s per ton, but as yet there is no material increased demand for them, and the figure which has so long been the oilicial quotation will probably remain unaltered until quarter-day. The medium qualities are quoted £ 6 10s down to £ 6 2s 6J, aud E5 10s is about the price asked for the com- moner sorts. In the pig-iron market prices have strengthened, and notwithstanding the competition ia other districts, an increased output is contemplated on the Dudley side of the district. All-mine forge pigs are quoted 92 17s 6d part-mine, L2 2s 6d to L2 5s and common sorts at about 91 15s down to £1133. Midland pigs maintained last week's rates of 39s to 40s for Derbyshires, 41s 6d for Lincolnshires, and 42s for Doncaster pigs. Hematites are quoted up Is 6d per ton on a month ago, making best forge sorts 53, to 54s delivered. The coal trade appears to be looking up with regard to manufacturing fuel and slack, and the season seems to be now setting in when there will be much better requirements for household purposes. Cannock Chase forge coal is 5s to 6s, and Staffordshire 6s to 6s 6d, which is an advance of from 3d to 6d per ton. Best house coal at the pits is 9s to 10s; second qualities, 8s to 9s; and third qualities, 7s to 8s.

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND COAL TRADES. MIDDLESBROUGH, Thursday.—The pigiron trade as reported on Tuesday has continued quieter this week, the reflex action of the Scotch market and the comparative dulness in demand which has appeared since the speculative movement to a large extent collapsed have had the effect of somewhat weakening prices and making the pig iron trade dull. There has been practically no demand beyond what consumers find it necessary to purchase whilst on the whole there are more sellers than buyers on account of merchants, and those who bougbt on specula- tion, being more or l«oo realise. Many -f ci.~ makers still ask rates beyond the market ehe expectation apparently that a<fain be an increased demand and an upwaid movement. Most people connected with if i v u? -0UJ?ver.' are dubious on this point, and whilst this ieehng i* prevalent »viu uuUu/i.v„ for speculative account. A good deal of confidence is still shown in the future as exhibited by the purchase of iron to put into warrants. Shipments are pretty favourable, and a resumption of de- liveries on a small scale has taken place for America, but no extent of trade op this account is likeiy to take place, so far as can be seen. The price of No. 3 is about 32s 9d with merchants, and 33s with makers for present delivery, though some makers ask 6d or Is more for forward delivery, No. 3. Forge iron is about Is per ton below No. 3 warrants are quoted at 33s 6d. The shipments to South Wales have been upon a rather restricted scale, and it is urged by some in the North of England that instead of sending pig iron to South Wales to be made into tin plates that it should he kept at home, and the tin which in proportion is so small in bulk, should be brought to the North of England and the tin plate industry entered upon here. At present, however, there is not much encouragement to start a new business of this kind, though it is not improbable that in the future South Wales pro- ducers of tin plates may find a formidable com- petitor in the North of England, as the Midland district has done in some classes of manufacture formerly regarded as specialities there. Manufactured iion does not seem to show any improvement worth mentioning, except in the smaller industries if exception be made in the bar trade, which has re- ceived a few orders. Manufacturers, however, are steadier in their prices, and are not now ready to make concessions they would lately have done from the quoted rates, which remain as before at, ship plates, £ 4 15s; girder plates, JB5; ship angles, JE4 10s; common bars, JM 17s 6d; best bars, L5 7s 6d; sheets, £ 6, less 2g per cent; puddled bars, £ 3 nett. The steel trade is quiet, especially in rails. A few orders for billets have been received, but otherwise trade is quiet in most departments. There has been a slight improvement in the demand for steam coals iu the North of England, and taking the season through it would rather appear that although complaints have been made of the trade, demand on the whole has been rather better relatively than in South Wales. Prices are not, however, quite so good as they were, about 8s 9d being now the top price for best steam coals, and Is less for medium sorts. There is a fair trade being done in small coals. Shipments in the Tyne and Wear have been pretty steady. The trade in other classes of coal and coke has Deen rather quiet with no change in prices. I

NEWCASTLE COAL AND IRON REPORT. NEWCASTLE, Thursday.— Business in North County coals has again lapsed into quietude. Baltic export business being about over for the year, Steam coals are 3:1 lower; best quality now sold at 8s 6d per ton iiett. Gas coa!s are in good request for London on old contracts. Manufacturing sorts go off steadily on former terms; in households only a moderate trade passing. Coke rules steady. Pig iron has re- ceded 3d a ton. Finished iron dull and un- changed in value. Shipbuilding is dull, and engine manufacturing quiet. Chemicals sell freely, with a little change in prices.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. rBY A SOUTH WALES AGRICULTURIST.] The welcome and much needed change in the weather since Monday has enabled farmers to get together a lot of corn, which, where a little patience has been exercised, is in good condition. Barley put in small stooks, so that the wind could penetrate,is in fine condition,very little being even stained. The past fortnight has been a very tr) ing and expensive time to occupiers who have had to keep on a staff of harvest hands in readi- ness to take advantage of every chance for the better in the weather. This week will now, with a continuance of sunshine, see the bulk of the harvest operations brought to a close, though with good wheat selling at 3s 6d per imperial bushel, there is not a very cheerful outlook for the winter. Whether poli- ticians, when they obtain the object of their wishes i.e., a seat in Parliament, will perform a tithe of their hustings and platform promises, and bring about a better state of matters socially as well as improved trade, is doubtful. Meanwhile, it will be best to recollect that we are told to put not your trust in princes, &c. and agri- culturists must, where and when they have the chance, bind down their intended representatives to certain specific promises as to their interests, similar to what other trades and professions are doing throughout the kingdom. I note several cases lately of poaching, and some sentimental sympathy is expended on the punish- ment inflicted on this class of persons. I have nothing to say as to the degree of punishment, as, in some cases, harsh measures are dealt out to the offenders which cannot be justified; but sympathy is out of place with, as a rule, an idle and vicious class, who won't work, in fact, can- not, when they spend moonlight nights out poaching—taking that which does not belong to them, which they have neither reared or fed, and ofttimes doing serious damage to fences and stock by leaving gates open, and tearing gaps in the former. I speak feelingly as I have suffered, and have portions of hedges completely killed by their digging into the banks and cutting the roots of the throup. I would welcome the abolition of game laws or any alteration that would enable me to keep my property from injury by men who prowl about at night, and are not particular about appropriating other things besides game if the bag be a light one, and whom it is most difficult to catch, for agriculturists have something else to do besides keep watch at night for the sake of a few head of game. The Cardiff Horse Show is blessed with fine weather, and will,! trust,prove a success. Lovers of the noble animal will have to be like Sir Boyle Roch's celebrated bird if they attend the two sales to-day (Friday). The show deserves a successful result from the energy and ability with which it is conducted, but still it would be better if the breeding of horses was more encouraged than I contend it is by such shows. Great discussion is now going on as to the best means of increasing and improving the supply of hacks, hunters, and troop horses. Able advocates argue for and against the formation of Govern- ment studs, the first being of opinion that great good would be attained by Govern- ment breeding their own cavalry horses. My own view is that if these studs were limited to providing good, sound thoroughbred sires, for use throughout the kingdom at a fair fee, they would confer a great benefit and stimulus to horse breeding, without interfering with private enterprise. Duriug the first eight months of this year ending August 31st, we exported 4,389 horses, at a value of L254,863, and we have im- ported 10,662 horses, valued £ 145,471. These figures would show that foreigners are taking our high-priced and valuable breeding sires and mares. Sheep sales give very varied results, Shropshires still, as a breed, commanding the attention of breeders, and realising remarkably good prices, considering the times. The celebrated Glen- buck flock of black faces in Scotland realised a satisfactory price down from last year's average, but still a good demand at fair prices, £4-2 being the highest price for a shearling ram. The annual ram sales at Sydney, Australia, are reported as being satis- factory averages per head of the various stud lots, ranging for six rams from j661 Is 6d, 258 19si £48 17s, and L32 19s 5d per head downwards. Individual rams made 600 guineas, 480 guineas, 262 guineas, 205 guineas, and downwards per head. Such prices must be satisfactory to the seller, and a good proof of the flourishing state of the sheep industry of the colony.. The health of our flocks and herds continues good, though foot-aud-mouth disease still remains in the county of Chester, and in addition to the cases existing, a fresh outbreak occurred about iour or tive nUlb axsiaui. trom the infects J tntiu of Hel&by and Mickle-Stratford. Whether caused by neglect in allowing infection to be carried from the infected area is not known, but in a dairy country like Cheshire it will be a serious matter if it continues to spread, particularly late.- on, amongst heards of dairy cows. Swine fever is steadily diminishing, thanks to the action of the fresh orders of council, and the way in which they are enforced. For the week ending the 29th August, 188 outbreaks were re- ported, in which 735 animals were attacked. This number being less than any since the week ending April 18th, when 177 outbreaks occurred. It is to be hoped that the Privy Council will continue the order for a longer peiiod, as it expires on the 30th of this month, and the work is now only commenced. Hence a longer continuance of the same system will effectually stamp it out throughout the kingdom. The annual report of the chief inspector for stock in Queensland shows that the total number of sheep in the colony on January 1st last was 9,493,829, being a decrease of 1,736,891. This decrease does not it appear repre- sent the actual loss occasioned by drought, allowing for the annual increase. He also estimates the total los§ of sheep for the past two years at over 7,000,000, and the money value at about £ 4,000,000. In New Zealand the total number of sheep was 13,988,520, being an increase of 772,191 over the previous year. For the year ending March 31st last 491,096 carcases of frozen mutton had been imported, as com- pared with 247,772 the previous year, showing that this trade had nearly doubled itself. For meat preserving purposes there is an increase of 9 per cent. of sheep used, and a falling off in the sheep boiled down of about 4 per cent. The inspector seems of opinion that the frozen meat trade has reached its maximum for the present. Doubtless this arises from the lower prices which meat brings in England. It does not leave sufficient margin for profit to induce shippers to extend the trade.

THE RACE. Fully a quarter of an hour was cut to waste before the flag fell to a good start. Duke of Richmond, on the j nside, was the first to show to the front, and he was 'followed by Broxbourne, Mallow, and Kingwood. The next division comprised Hurry, Insignia, Kedlock, and Maria Renata. with Linda bringing up the rear. The top-weight came on well to the bend, where Brox- bourne, Kingwood, and Hurry were his immediate at. tendant, but when fairly in the line for home Duke of Richmond was beaten, and the running was taken up by Broxbourne. Insignia and Dalmeny now became the immediate attendants, but the last-named, en- deavouring to get up on the inside, was hemmed in between the rails and Broxbourne, but when fifty yards from the chair he got a clear course, and rapidly closing, with the other pair, shot up on the post and won by a neck Broxbourne and lusignia ran a dead beat for second place. Maria Renata, close up, was fourth, Debentuie fifth, Linda sixth, Kedlock seventh Duke of Richmond eighth, Bonnie Lassie,Kingwood and Hurry next, and Mallow last. After passing the post lJalrueny swerved over to the right and carried Maria Renata, Linda, Insignia, and Broxbourne into the angle of the course where the start for the St. Leger takes place, and before they could be pulled up Linda dashed into the rails and tell. The others either jumped that obstacle or ran through the gap at the entrance to the course. Linda was stunned and cut rather badly, but her rider, Glover, was unhurt.

NEWPORT TRADE REPORT. NEWPORT, Thursday.—The returns of the past week shew a decrease in shipments, partly to be accounted for by the fact of heavy weather for two or three days of last week having interfered with arrivals. Probably the present more mode- rate weather will increase the tonnage in port. Another cause of the falling off is that owners are more chary now that the winter is coming on to fix their steamers at rates which even in summer meant a probable loss, and which at the present time would be a certain one. Freights also for some parts are so fluctuating that operations are narrowed to the supply of the requirements of the moment. The quantity of coal exported to foreign ports has amounted to 28,694 tons coast- wise, and bunker shipments have come up to the usual average. The Alexandra Dock is rather scantily supplied with tonnage for loading, and if there are not many arrivals during the next few days the ship- ments from this dock will show a falling off. In the Old Dock things are rather more active, and there will probably be more than an average quantity of coal sent away. The river wharves are-fairly busy where steamers are discharging, but there are not many vessels leading. Freight t are not improving generally, though in some direc- tions there is slightly better business doing. Rates to the East are without improvement. For the Plate more business is doing, but rates are low. For the Brazils there is a certain amount of chartering going on, but rates in this direction are also quiet. West India quotations are slightly more numerous, but, as elsewhere, are very much depressed. Mediterranean freights are low, as are also Bay freights. Homewards from Bilbao there is no improvement, and the delay occa- sioned in loading at that port owing to the want of hands at the mines is extremely inconvenient to all concerned. For French Bay Ports there were neither many freights nor much inquiry. Coastwise scarcity of vessels, and the Advance of the season have created a good deal more inquiry for tonnage. The iron trade does not show much outward sign of improvement, but there is a tendency to firmness in some directions. Business on the Continent is depressed as in this country, if not more so.

THE STEEL TRADE IN STAFFORD- SHIRE. The South Staffordshire iron and steel masters are manifesting considerable interest in the probabilities of the open hearth steel furnace being adopted more extensively than hitherto for basic steel production. The opinion i* gaining ground that the change here indicated will come about, and specimens of steel in the bloom form, made in South Wales in the open hearth basic furnace, which have recently been sent into Staffordshire for rolling down into sheets, have proved very successful. Staffordshire ironmasters are interested in the question more particularly, because at Bilston an extensive works upon the Basic-Bessemer converter method is in operation, and its comparatively recent erection has been a matter of great cost. The statement is made that at the Brymbo Works in South Wales open hearth basic steel ingots are being produced at the remarkably low figure of 65s per ton. One South Staffordshire steel works is now preparing to make some trial of the combined new methods.
