SWANSEA EXCHANGE. SWANSEA, TUESDAY. The market here continues to be,.in,a,ui(st- inanimate condition, and there is mcy liftlo-busi- ness to report. Prices-during,'the week have not "varied to any extent, and pig-iron warrants are slightly weaker; but notwithstanding that, finished iron and steel are in good demand. The ■full quotations are being obtained, and most of; .t the works are fully employed upon rails and.,tin- plate bars, deliveries being behind in the latter to an extent-which. has prevented some.of the tin- plate works turning out foll .work. There is no improvement to report: in, the condi- tion of the tin-plate market, and the" makers' '-I quotations remain unaltered.

CRICKET. 1 SOMERSET v. MIDDLESEX. Play at Taunton yesterday was limited to three hours and-quarter, rain preventing a resumption until quarter to one, and causing 45 minutes delay. After lunch, considerable progress was mado with the game, however, and everything went in favour of Middlesex, who on the opening day had completed an -Innings for 254, while Somerset lost three wickets for 29. The home county's innings lasted from quarter to rone until half-past four, the overnight total being increased to 172, or three short of saving the follow on. Mr Hewett, who went in with four wickets down at 33, "batted with great determination, and scored 65 out of 138 put on during his stay of two hours. Rawlin bowled very finely, and hit the stumps six times, taking in all eight wickets at a cost of only eight runs each. Following on Somerset had 65 minutes' batting, but, faring disastrously, losing half their wickets for 53. As the game now stands they have euery nrospect of being beaten, as with five wickets to fall they want 29 runs to save the innings defeat. Score;- „. JSMNN,5\ MIDDLESEX. 2nd Innints.

The play at the Oval on Tuesday lasted till inst after four o'clock, and it cannot be said that the game was at all interesting. So great was Surrey's advan- tage that the result, though long delayed, was always inevitable. The Warwickshire eleven did much better' in their second innings than their first, but they could never make up for their disasters of Monday after- noon. West and Collishaw put on 32 runs together for the sixth wicket, and the latter in conjunction with Bates, added 31 for the seventh Mr Byran, who had injured his finger on Monday, was unable to bat again, but Mr Hill, after retiring through indisposi- tion, came back to complete his innings. The single innings defeat-was saved, but Surrey, having only" 5 runs to get, won.the match by ten wickets. Score:— 1st Innings; SURREY. 2nd Innings. -Abel, c Bryan* b West 34 M.

Lancashire brought their season of first-class cricket to a closed-yesterday with a brilliant victory over Sus- sex, at Brighton, by an innings and 43 runs. More raiii fell during the night, so the wicket had- in no way ,improved;its condition, but allowing for the disadvan. tages under which they laboured, the Sussex batsmen shaped more like the poor side which represented the southern county last year than the team which has obtained so creditable a record during the season which ended yesterday. At the-same time. great praise must be awarded to Mold and Briggs, who bowled un- changed-during the two innings of Sussex, the former .actually taking eleven wickets, eight of them clean Dowled, at a cost of only 65 runs, and the latter eight wickets for 43 runs. Sussex overnight had one wicket to fall, and required twelve runs to escape a follow on, but only three of these were obtained, the innings closing for 88, exactly half what Lancashire had made on the previous day. When the home side commenced their second innings five of the best batsmen on tho side were dismissed in 25 minutes for 11 runs, and it quite seemed as if the side would be out for under twenty. Steady cricket by Hide and Smith, who stayed together for half an hour, and some hitting. by Andrews and Butt, -ilightly improved matters, but the whole ten wickets went down in less than an hour and half for 45 runs. Lancashire played a fine game throughout, tho batting of Sugg, the bowling of Mold and Briggs, and the fielding of the side generally, reaching a hi»h standard of excellence. The weather 1 ■was dull ana stormy, a boisterous south-west wind blowing over the ground, and there was very few spectators present. Score :— 1st Innings. LANCASHIRE. 2nd Innings.

I Showery weather at Leeds yesterday limited the progress made with this fixture to about an hour and a half before luncheon, the early morning rain leaving the turf so thoroughly sodden that it was impossible to start until half-past 12, and the almost-continual drizzle that set in during the interval causing play to be abandoned after a tedious delay after five o'clock. Overnight York- shire had completed an innings for 148, and Kent had lost two wickets in scoring 44. During the time play was possible yesterday, on a wicket that was always slow, the southern county added 77 for the loss of five more wickets, so with three more wickots to go down they are now 27 behind. The only noteworthy feature of the cricket was a patiently-played not-out 34 by Pox, who ought, however, to have been caught at point when he' had made two only, and an exeeptional grand catch in the out-field by Moorhouse.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE RUSSIAN JEWS. A Russian correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette states that the Prince of Wales, after thoroughly studying the question of the Russian Jews, has interested himself on their behalf to an extent and in a manner that should earn for his Royal Highness the gratitude of every Jew in Europe and America. Indirectly and in a manner ( that could raise no question in he minds of the ..most reactionary officials, the Prince of Wales has ^effectively aided the efforts now being made to Organise a measure for the relief-of the miserable ("anddestitute beathen ^population of Russia. The "Corresprndentsays hc is informed that the Prince $has oil rfiore than one occasion discussed the whole question with Mr Arnold White;and has furnished tMr Whjte with letters to the .RusfetSn, Court which are "proving of immense assistance to ths solution of!the question.

^THE KENTISH FRUIT SEASON The annual hard fruit sales in Kent have just finished, and the results are certainly not satis- factory to growers. Plnms and pears are so -plentiful that buyers declined to speculate, ^.except in rare instances, where'fancy prices were .obtained. Warned by the bitter experience of 'last year, when, after good prices had been accepted, the plum crop proved a failure, buyers ..were exceedingly chary, and competition was idecidedly slow. Pears were similarly dealt in. ;In one case a reserve of £ 100 bad been placed on ia-certain lot of William pears, but the highest bid tonly reached £ 56. Other nice lots of fruit shared the same fate, and consequently growers will be obliged to market the fruit themselves or accept ,,greatly -reduced offers. With harvest in full tswing. and the hop-picking season imminent, If'growersiprefer to sell their hard fruit on the 'trees, but in this respect many of them w,illthigl 'season be disappointed. On all hands it is ad- mitted that plums will be very peeSfJfe, ancl-con. sequently this favourite fruit should be within, keasy reach of the poorest classes.- The jam manu- Cfacturers in Kent—of whom there are n6w several .'•'—are baying up large quantities of plums. Onec ,.firm of jam makers, who aro also extensive* are so well off for plums that they have no need to buy elsewhere. One of < the common i (fsorts of pears is'also very plentiful. This-special. kind of fruit has been sold in the London market at the rate of a shilling per half-sieve. After 1, paying for the carriage of the fruit and deducting the salesman's commission, this leaves fiv-epence for the grower, out of which he haff to-lJfiyjfor.the "picking and'other incidental expenses,!thus'brin»-' mg the net profit down to a very low? iotiriimuin:. A case of One buyer is reported in whichthe'ia.; said to be so disgusted ati this ;:feeding,his pigs with the peart. j

A PLUCKY GIRL. Miss Sharkey, daughter of Mr Roger Sharkey, a, Leamington car proprietor, was attacked on the highway between Kenilworth and that town on Saturday night,, while driving a dogcart from Leamington to Hill Wootton, near Warwick, where her father had been shooting on his farm. She was suddenly pounced upon by two men, who had disguised themselves. The taller of the two men attempted to get into the dog- cart, but Miss Sharkey kept him at bay by lashing -him about the face with her whip. When he seized the butt-end of the whip she refused to let go, and broke her umbrella about his head. A severe blow on the nose with the umbrella forced one of her assailants to desist. At the same time Miss Sharkey dealt the other man, who was try- ng to get hold of the pony's head, a terrific cut across the eyes with the whip and knocked him own. She instantly turned the pony in the direction of Mr Jordan's mill, and the two men, vowing vengeaiice, ran away across the fields. ^Information was given to the police, but no traoe sof the men haa been discovered.
