MONBI Market. i LONDON, Friday. Owing to the ittOng continental competition for bills, the discount market is showing yet greater weskuess. ,At such a critical period as the present, when the Bank of England reserve and the stock of bwllion are so low, this falling j away of rates is fntieh to be regretted, as it is useless to keep the .official quotation at 6 per cent. J when the open market working rata is below that figure, Und&f' such circumstances, th& maintenance of exchanges cannot be carried out, I and the replenishment of our stock of bullion becomes almost an impossibility, except through J • the return of coin from circulation. Three months' Bank bills were dons. to-day at 41 to H, and six months' at 3i to 4- per cent. 4 Three months' trade bills were 4 to 5 per cent., and six months'4i to 4i per cent. For loans, a moderate demand was experienced at 4 to 5 per ce;it. for short periods. Paris Cheque Exchange is 25 25 £ Berlin Short, 20'41. St Petersburg thri-e inuuths' are 26 £ Firmer markets have been characteristic of tbe Stock Exchange. Speculation Is reviving, and there is a good deal of buying on conti- nental account. Almost all stocks have parti- cipated in the healthier tone, and should money continue to cheapen, speculation would, unques- tionably, revive in force. As it is, there is no dispositIOn to sell stock, and of the fall which accompanied the late advance in the Bank rate, a considerable portion has already been recovered. Great attention is now being bestowed upon mines. Consols closed at 97 to 97 xd for delivery, and 97 9-16 to 97 11-16 xn for iiccount; 21 per Cnt. (Cbilders'), 99i to 99i xd 2% uer Cane., 94-i to 95 xd. Local Loan block, 102f to 103a xd. Paris continues to hjiy, and tue market, so far as regards International issues, has continued strong. There were fair dealings in Egyptian Unified, which rose to 93, but receded later to 92 13 16. Spanish also were strong. Rumours of financial troubles, notwithstanding, it is difficult to depress this stock. To-day's final prices is i above yesterday. Italian were firm, and Hunga- rian and Russian hardened a little. Turkish sympathised with the firmness in Egyptian. Some issues rose i to In the South American Market Peruvians were strong, closing £ higher. Brazilian were firm. Scrip closed at 8 dis. Bneuos Ayres vèdulaswere steady. The feature of the English Railway Market was the revival of the demand for Brighton A, which is being purchased on dividend rumours. Some optimists are sanguine enough to expect 3 per cent., but it is more likely to be 8.t per cent. That will be a good dividend. South Eastern A closed at 106. Sheffield Deferred Stock was again in demand, and wan a i higher. This is looked upon, like Great Eastern, as a stock with a future before it. Hence its steady absorption, Heavy stocks scarcely varied, but were firm. Caledonian and North British were bath steady. Amongst Canadian Railways, Grand Trunks rallied a little, and left off at a slight improve- ment, Canadian Pacific Shares, on the other hand, were a shade weaker on a few- realisations, but the variations were insignificant in each case. American Railways were a firm market, but Denver issues were wanted, Preferences being specially strong. There was also an enquiry for Wabash issues. Eries, Atlantic's, and Louisville and Nashvilles were all steady but L:ake Shores and Chicago and Milwaukee were rather dull. Amongst Foreign Railways Mexican (Vera Cruz) were firm, closing rather better. Lombards were strong on Paris buying. In the Miscellaneous market Bank shares generally were steady. Nitrate issues were irregular. Liverpool fell 1. Primitiva rose 21. Guinness Ordinary was firm. London Produce Clearing House rose 1. There was more steadiness in the Mining Mar- ket. Copper Shares generally, and Rio Tinto in Particular, were stroug. In South Africans there was strong demand for Golq Fields and Do Beers, Rothschild's Exploration were steady.

CARDIFF EXCHANGE, BUTE DOCKS, FRIDAY, The coal market continues to display con- siderable activity, and trade generally is now very flourishing. On 'Change to-daj^ ihe demand for coals of every quality was io^sMne extent accentuated by an anticipated restriction in the output next week, owing to the recttrfence of St. Mabon's Day. Last prices as a consequence were quoted very firmly, and for propnpt delivery some merchants were asking as mucii as 14s 9d to 15 for best coals. In the house coal trade a good business was done at the old hgur^Vand there was no indication of a decline in tlraxjuotations for patent fuel and Welsh cokes. i, In our local freight market to-daiy,?chartering for steam tonnage was moderatetlyimtive, more especially for the higher Medite^fa^ean ports, and for the latter a fair amount of itratiiness has been effected. Outward rates fccfejjKalta, Con- stantinople, Brindisi, Alexandria., Port Said closed dull, a similar remark applying "Algerian, Italian, Sicilian, Adriatic, Saattiwh, West Indian, and Gibraltar freights. BtMtBern quota- tions practically unaltered.

I For the west coast there was a better inquiry, and quotations ruled stronger. Baltic rates were steady, Italian and Mediterranean quotations practicallv unaltered. Ore.—Homeward rates from Bilbao and Decido ruled moderately steady, and steam tonnage is still in fairly good request, especially for the east and west coasts of the United Kingdom and Bristol Channel ports. From Benisaf, Huelva, Carthagena, Ergasteria, and Garrucha, there was about an average inquiry. Cagliari, Carloforte, and Pomaron quotations remain unchanged.

This important match will be played at Swansea this afternoon. So far this season the Swansea First X V., have not sustained a single defeat, but the two matches with Newport ended in drawn games. Hence the con- test of Saturday will be watched with great interest. It will be seen that Swansea will put an exceptionally strong team into the field—Longdon and McCutcheon being announced to take the places of Bishop and Pearce, whilst the forwards will be materially strengthened by the addition of Walter Evans, who is in rare form this season. The following have been selected to represent Swansea Back, Bancroft three-quarter b.icki, McCutcheon, Longdon, 1). Gwynn and Whapham half-b:icks, D. James and E. James forwards, W. Bowen (captain), Wal ter Evans, Meredith, T. Williams, H. Beavan, D. Samuel, J. sanuel. and E Charles. The following will represent Newport, although the positions of some of the players may be altered: Back, T. England three-quarter backs, Webb, A. Gould,George Thomas, and HierDavies; half-backs. Downe and Charlie Thomas; forwards, Graham(capt.), Newcombe, Day, Hannen, Boucher, Griffiths, Edwards, and Watts. Mr W. M. Douglas, will act as referee. Out- Newport correspondent writes :—All eyes in the local football world will be turned towards Swansea on Saturday, when the "All White" and the redoubtable wearers of the "Blick and Amber" (shoidd the elements permit) will be engaged in what promises to be the stiffest encounter that will be wit- nessed ou Welsh grouud this season. This will be the third meeting of the farnoui rivals, the two former matches having ended in as you were "-a draw each time. The first game came off at Newport, and at the finish the score ret(I-Swaniea, I try and 4 minors; Newport, 1 try and 2 minors. The next performance took place at Swansea, where, after another hard tussle, the result was-Newport, I try, 4 minors Swansea, 1 try and 3 minors. Both teams are in the pink of condition, as evidenced by their recent Victories. Newport has vanquished Oxford Univer- sity, Clapham Rovers, Wellington, Weston, and the London Welsh within the past month, whilst Swansea holds the proud position of not yet having been beaten this season. Both teams will be strongly represented. Newport will have the help of the famous three- quarter back A. J. Gould, whilst C. J. Thomas will re- sume his old place at half, where he won laurels of yore. The Great Western Rail n ay Company are going to run a special train at excursion fares so that New. port folk may have an opportunity of going down and cheering their representatives on to victory or condol- ing with them should they be beaten. Whatever be the result Graham's lads may be depended upon to render a good account of themselves. Whilst the premiers are at Swansea the Newport 2nd XV. will be doing battle with Monmouth Town at Newport. At Maindee the suburbans take on the Penarth 1st team, and an interesting game is expected. CARDIFF v. CLIFTON. To-day Cardiff meet CIifton on the latter's ground. The Metropolitans will travel by the train leaving Cardiff at 12.30. The team to oppose the Cliftonians will be —Back, H. E.

THE STATE OF TRADE. THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, Frida-y.-The New Year holidays now being over business has been resumed in the Scotch iron trade with great spirit. The Glasgow warrant market has met only three days this week, but a very large amount of business has been done at quickly advancing prices compared with the closing prices of last week. Lseotch warrants have advanced 33,Cleveland 3s 3d, and Cumberland 3s 104d per ton. The tone of the market has been very strong, and very large pur- chases of warrants are reported to have been made here on English account. Hematite pigs are in very active request for the purpose of steel-making, and it is reported that the outnut of this citss of iron wijl shortly be increased. Fuel is becon. ,g very dear. and the iron masters are talking of a further advance on the price of special brands as a necessity. The. stock of pig ifon in Connal's Glasgow store has been deduced 3,326 tons in the course of the week notwithstanding- the holidays. As regards the Scotch finished iron trade, the position has been greatly strengthened by the advance of 10 s a ton on liuglisli bars made a few days ago, and some of the Scotch makers are also quoting increased rates. The steel trade is very firm.

PEOPLE WHO EAT THEIR PARENTS. 10 the report of the administration of the Shan States during 1888-9, which has just been received in this country, Mr Scott refers to the state of Tong San. The country is mountainous, with but few roads that are even bridle-tracks. The people are described as very savage they use poisoned arrows with the bow and blow-pipe, and dispense almost wholly with clothing. They are said to be cannibals, especially in the more remote hills towards the Chinese frontier. It is asserted that they eat their parents to save them from the misery of old age, and as a kind of refinement on the ancestor worship of China and Tooquin,

THE BARRY DOCK AND RAIL WAY COMPANY. Mr G. C, Downing, secretary and solicitor to the Barry Dock and Railways Company, ba, written as follows to the Tiius:-Sir,-My atten- tion been directed to the article on ths Railway Programme for next SessionCOR, tained ifi your issue of the 27th ult., in which it is stated that "the Barry Company, not content, s with wnging a relentless war of rates, &c., is J seeking access to Cardiff and the Bute Docks," &c. ;-aftd as such statement is inaccurate and cal- I culated to- miblead persons at a distance interested j in this company and the district generally, I must ask you to be good enough to publish this letter ill your next issue, and thus enable the public to ascertain the true facts of the matter. Parliamentary sanction was given to this com- pany's undertaking upon the distinct understand- ing tiiitt-the rate for the carriage of coal for ship- ment would be a halfpenny per ton per mile, and | accordingly, when the undertaking was opened for pubGc traffic in July last, the rate charged was based upon this understanding, and, pursuant to the Parliamentary pledge of the promoters, was applied to small and large freighters alike. Thia halfpenny rate is little, if any. thing, lower than rates which have been charged by the Rhymney Company in competition with the TafrCompauy in the district for years past. It havitag been rumoured that the Taff Company proposed to cut the rates below the figure charged by this company, at the half-yearly meeting of shareholders held in August last,Mr David Davies (deputy-chairman of this company) distinctly stated in his speech (which was fully reported in the local papers) that this com- pany had not initiated and did not desire a war of rates, but that if the Taff Company commenced to cut ttie rates this company would tollow down to the level of, but would not go below, the Taff rate. Notwithstanding this most distinct warning the Tag Vale Company shortly afterwards re- duced their rate below that of this company, and we were therefore obliged in self defence to follow. It will thus be seen that it is the Taff Vale Com- pany, and not the Barry Company, who are waging a war of rates. It is not a fact that my company aro this Session seeking access to the Bute Docks.

A NEW BREWERY FOR CARDIFF. The tendency manifested of late years to work breweries on the limited liability principle is about to show itself in Cardiff, where a new company has erected a brewery on an open piece of land near the Great Western Railway. So confident are the promoters of success that they and their friends intend to retain one-half of the capital of the company, and offer the other half to the public. Few in Cardiff outside the rade knew that a large establishment of that kind was about to be opened so early as February next. A few days ago the Pall Mall Gazette published a list of persons who died during the past year, and wbo&e personalities ran up to six big figures, and the brewers, as in the past, held a high and, though the teetotalers would hardly admit it, honourable place. It is evident that making beer still pays enor- mously, whatever may be said aboul arinking it. Cardiff has been going ahead in the matter of docks and other public works, but its people have hitherto been content to consume, tc a great extent, beer made in Bristol, Burton, Edinburgh, and otherplaces. From the engineer's report we extract the following general descrip- tion of the new premises The sinking of the well, which was the first atep,wais successfully carried out,and an unlimited supply of good water obtained, the temperature of which even in summer does not exceed 52 dog. Far., and all the land springs and surface watet excluded. The foundations of the brewery were then sunk right through the clay to a soiid bed ol gravel. The trenches were about 14ft. below street level and about 4ft. wide, and filled in with a specially made c,ucrete to withiu 18, inches of the cellar floor level, so as to avoid any settlement. The brewery itself and the stack are altogether an imposing group of handsome design, and very strong and substantially built, the mortar used in the construction being com- posed of the local Aberthaw lime and bard burnt ashes, which sets almost equal to the best cement. The premises are built, with Doltings and Box Down stones and buff coloured brick dressings, filled in with hammer-dressed stone work, the different suloured specimens of granite and other stones being mixed and blended with great taste and good effect. There are hundreds of tons of copper work, iron girders, and joists, and pipes, &c., used in the building, all the principal joists being of British manufacture. The approach to the brewery is from Penartb-road, through Craw- shay-street. There are most convenient office arrangements, with fire-proof room for books &c., and a large board-room is provided on the first floor. The size of the land provides tor brewery, brewer's house, maltbouse) stables, cart- houses, &c., and is about li acres in extent, so that there is ample space fur any extention that may be required in the future.
