A meeting. to take into consideration the present state of the cutlic trade, awl to consider the best means to be adopted to render effective the art 43 Geo. ill., e. 129, was held yrsterilay at the Loudest 'Lavern, Mr. THOMAS BAKING, in the chair. Must of the metropolitan merchants connected with the trade, as well as a number of deputies from Liverpool and , other places, were present ; and the meeting was swelled by such a large .1 etien of the retail dealers that it was found neceuary, at the time advertised for commencing the pro - ceedin o'clock), to adjourn to the large room, which was creosoted in every part, including the gallery. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the bu , ineea, wished to Mate his view of the reasons which had 101 l to that meeting being convened. 'they were all perfectly aware that every mintst-r who made changes with regard to duties laboured under two diffieulties. If the new measure were introduced by himself he iould nut, without betraying the secrets of his office and gin jug unfair advantages to individuals, take the coupes.' of those must conversant with the trade; and, serouslly, if the change were tone elicited from the minister, be very inatterelly feared to be misled or ill informed hy in ter:L-4u.! parti,. (Hear.) At the same time, it could nut be &nit 41 that w hateser knowledge a inini.ter might hesse, tile Olt:tail, esery trade must of stecee.,ity be better known by Uwe.. WII belonged to it than they could be by any mi nister of the cilium (Cheer e.) The beset and ntost env:- uptieuable way, then, for the coffee trade to express its optni..ns to the government was by a meeting like that, when: ilitlirolties and grievances could be dimmed and remedies proposed, to be after due consideration submitted to the government, in reference to changes ostensibly sub mitted to isarliament as conducive to the benefit of the fair traukr, and at the same time to the welfare of the consumer. (Cheer-) Ile (the chairman) was concerned in the produc tion ornate in the island of CI•VI ~,,, and was an importer for Inaba If and for °there .if that article; and he was also interested, as he hoped every merchant in Loudon was, that their trade should be " fair' trade - that things should be sold under their own denomi nation - -.11111 that any system of deception should net be carried on under the sanction of the trade, and by the per ntisseiou .nel with the toleration of government. lie Was likewise iuterested, that if a substitute for coffee could be !Inaba.d, so agreeable, or more agreeable, it should be odd to the consumer at the lowest prier at which it could be offered, and not painted of at a higher price than that at which it could Ise afforded, Isceause 1100tiltT name was given to it. kllisses and cheers.) lie should trust to those who followed to give the detail, of the case, but it was notorioue that within the last few years the deliveries of cufftse fur bone consumption had fallen of in a remarkable degree. This falling off could not he accounted for by the Oct that price, were high, as, on the contrary, there was a much great, r consumption when prices were considerably higher, acitin r could it be amounted for by the absence of the power id consumption, IS the country had never p0."0 , ...1 a greater power of consumption than it had in the last twelve mouths. It was not to be accounted fur either by the interference of other artiste* of a like character, fur falthough there had doubt less been an increased consumption of tea, cocoa, and other stimulating, hut wholesome, beverages, it was notorious that that !Hight be' attributed to the increased taste for such drinks w hall hail sprung up amongst the people and not from any inili,position to consume coffee. 'There being in no way than a substitute introduced in the place of coffee, the (*ennuis email only be accounted fur by the !touter consunnit of what was called toffee and the dinunohed consumption of what wee really coffee. It was, no doubt, desirable that substitutes for coffee should be offered to the poor man as cheap as they could be sold. The documents of the hoard of Trade established the fact that whilst there w as an increased ability to consume, and while there was actually an increased consumption of what was celled coffee, there was a diminished consumption of what was really coffee. The next question was hoe this state of things was to be met. Ile was en tirely 'mimed to excise duties on the growth of chicory. (Hear) Excise duties were always objectionable, inasmuch as theycrampell British industry, intirtered with the employ ment of British capital, and lessened the remuneration of British labour; and were thus only tolerable as a means of revenue. (('heers.) But it was a little inconsistent that, while a duty was levied upon a British saccharine produc tion which interfered with sugar, an article which inter fered with coffee should pay no duty at all. (Hear, hear.) There were a great many other articles which entered into the adulteratioa of coffee besides chicory, but the objection to an excise duty was so great that it could not be tolerated. Th e real question, then, was, whether they could not have • system under which things should be sold to the con sumer under their right names, and at as cheap a rate as it was notorious that they could be afforded. (Cheers and hisses.) Let it not be said that London was not anxious foe fair trailing, or that it was in favour of deception. (Ilieses.) /le believed that the representation of a meeting like that, backed as it wa. by deputations from other great commer cial towns, would be looked upon with respect by the minis ter. sail be regarded by the country. (Hear, bear.) That they hail to urge upon the government was, that colii* should have as fair a chance as any other article before the public, and that the producers of coffee should not ne pre vs nted, by adulterations on the part of the retail sellers, from enjoying that honest trade to whish they were entitled, (Hisses.) Ile did not mesa to my that there were no honest retailers—(A voice— .' There is not one to be found," and laughter)—because the excise order sanctioned the adulteration. (Cheers.) By ▪ written instruction the adulteration was absolutely sane timed, and he blamed nobody—he blamed only the system, and it was against that system that he wished to protest. (A Voice- - No, we don't," cheers and great uproar.) lie could not, however, think that an equalisation of the swim duties, and a reduction to 3d. per lb., was the real remedy fur the grievance of which they complained. (Cheers.) Where one article mid for ad. and the other for le. per lb., there was so great a temptation offered to the desks that adulteration was certain. (Cheers.) It would he greatly to the advantage not only of the government hut England, but he would not my whether they found the of the merehante, the dealers, and the public, if this great prices adequate to their wishes. (Cheer.) Ile for one had question wan settled for ever on prineipks of justice to every never used an ounce of chicory in his own trade until he was party concerned ; and all they asked the minister to do, was obliged to do so.

(Prom the inrigatime Exprvas.) - - The weather hos, daring the last fortnight, been highly auspicious for all kinds of out-door labour, and farmers have been enabled to make considerable progress with ploughing, &e. The work has thus far proceeded very favourably, and the seed which has been committed to the soil has been well got in. Large breadths of land have already been prepared for barley and oats, and bean and pea planting has advanced materially in many parts of the kingdom. With regard to the aspect of the autumn-sown wheat, the reports arc generally of a satisfactory character; the plant, though strung and healthy, is not too forward nir the time of the year, and notwithstanding the unusually mild and open weather experienced during the winter, we hear of few cases of premature luxuriance. The deliveries of grain from the growers have been very , small of late, and are likely to be moderate the remainder of this and during part of next month, as the seeding of the land can scarcely be expected to be finished till the mid dle of April. The falling off in the home supplies has not as yet led to any improvement in pri es, but sellers have certainly mattift•sted more firmness at many of the markets in the agricultural districts, and we are rather disposed to think that the value of English wheat has for the present touched the lowest point. The last weekly average for the kingdom, published on Thursday (365. Ild. per qr.) is probably the lowest return we shall have for some time, the improvement which the dry weather lately experienced has wrought in the condition haring had the effect of raising the intrinsic value suffi ciently to enable farmers to obtain somewhat better prices. Meanwhile there seems little prospect of any immediate rally in quotations of foreign Wheat, the recent large arri vals from eastern and southern ports having caused consi , derable pressure on most of the large consuming markets. I Within a period of less than three weeks, about two hun• dred vessels, laden with Wheat and Indian Corn, have I arrived off Fahnouth and Queenstown from the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, and the Sea of Axof, mostly large ships, carrying teen 1,500 to 2,500 qrs. each. Of this supply only a comparatively small proportion will come to London ;_ still the effect must be felt, inasmuch as the necessity of resorting to the metropolis for supplies of foreign wheat is diminished, stocks being held at various points on the coast. A considerable part of the wheat, and nearly the whole of the Indian corn, is destined for Ireland, and these direct supplies will naturally check any demand from thence in our markets. We are theredine not sanguine respecting any material advance on present rates, but at the same time we see no reason to expect any further immediate fall. The supplies of flour from France have been on a mode rate scale this week, Liverpool being nearly the only port at which any quantity of importance has arrived. The somerluit firmer tone of the Mark-lane advices ap pears to have had very little influence on the wheat trade in Scotland, mid business was decidedly heavy for that article, both at Edinburgh and Glasgow, on Wednesday. The shipments of oats from the ports on the east coast were beginning to fall off, owing to an increased seed demand, and prices of that grain, as well as those of barley, had rather improved. The accounts from Ireland describe the wheat trade as nearly paralysed by the extent of the foreign receipts, and fur the present mist of the markets in that part of the king dom are overdone with wheat and Indian corn. Oats of native growth had come forward rather sparingly, and had commanded quite as much money us before. The shipments of the latter article fur England had not been important. Prices of grain have nut varied much at Mark-lane since our last. Holders have, on the whole, displayed rather more firmness; but this has not been responded to by pur chasers, who love manifested no inclination to buy beyond what they have needed fur immediate use. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise into the port of London have been small, only 2,473 qrs. having come to hand up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity brought forward by land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties has meanwhile been trifling, and but few offers have been made from Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and that neigh , bourhoud. Oa Wednesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were almost bare, and, iu the absence of sales, quotations re mained nominally unaltered. Matters continued in much the same position up to the close of the week, the only difference being a slight increase of confidence, on Friday, on the part of factors. This market has been less abun dantly supplied of late with foreign wheat than several of the leading ports on the coast. The arrivals this week have consisted of only 11,2 W qrs. Stocks in granary are, however, still rather heavy, and the display of samples was large, both on Wednesday and Friday. The country de mand has at no period of the week been active, and the towa millers have conducted their operations with a degree of caution indicative of a want of confidence in the future. The transactions have consequently been altogether of a re tail character, and prices have remained about the same as before. A fair extent of business has been done in floating car goes. Polish Odessa off the coast was offered freely in the commencement of the week at 325. per qr., cost, freight, and insurance, and some inferior sorts were sold even cheaper: subsequently less anxiety to realise was shown, and on Friday there were more buyers than sellers at the price named. The arrivals off Falmouth and Queenstown have not been nearly so large a., the preceding week, and the prevailing ophoon appears to be that the receipt.' from the Black Sea and Mediterranean ports will sow fall off materially. FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The accounts from the Baltic do not report much change in the position of the corn trade in that quarter. Notwith standing the continued dull advices from hence, holders at the upper ports appear to have remained very firm. Betters from Dantzie state that fine qualities of old wheat in granary had been held firmly at previous prices, and that the land supplies had not generally been offered lower than before. A return of rather sharp frost would, it was ex pected, prevent shipments being made at so early a period as had at one time been anticipated ; and we arc not likely to receive supplies from thence sooner than in ordinary years. We have advices from Rostock of the 3rd of March. The weather, which bad previously been mild and open, had become rather severe, and it was feared that the frost might perhaps do some mischief to the young wheat plant ; this had tended to increase the firmness of holders, and full terms had been asked for granaried samples. The supplies from the farmers had not been large, hut the export demand having been very slow, fine dry 621ba. qualities had been offered at 365. per qr. free on board. In spring corn hardly any business had been done. Barley was quoted 17s. 6d., and peas 245. 6d. per qr. free on board. From Stettin we learn that few bargains had been closed during the week, but that holders had refused to accept lower terms than before; and the accounts from most of the other Baltic ports are to the same effect. Meanwhile stocks in warehouse were accumulating, sad we have no doubt that sellers will sooner or later have to give way, if orders should not be sent out from hence. Hamburg advice, of Tuesday are devoid of interest : holders bad rather raised their pretensions, which had checked business ; for 601bs. wheat from Pomerania 3511.6 d. to 355. 9d. per qr. free on board had been asked, and 34. 9d. per qr. had, it was said, been offered. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. The share market has again recovered from the partial feeling of deression noticed for a day or tw•o past. The tone to-day is very firm, and prices arc again buoyant. Many descriptions have experienced a further advance, including Ambergates, East Anglians, Lancashire and Yorkshires, Blackmails, South Easterns, York and North Midlands, Shrews bury and Birminghams, and Caledonians. Business is scarcely so brisk as of late, but a good demand is experienced, and the market wears a very improving appearance. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx The general feeling . of the stock market to-1y is better, and, though prices were held in check during the earlier part of the morning till the arrangements for the settlement of the account had assumed a more definite aspect, immediately on the bulk of the balances being adjusted a rise of„ took place, at which improvement the market Seems steadily maintained. The settling, so far, has progressed satisfactorily and quietly, with the " con tinuation "to the 111th of April riding at „. An ad dition support has leer afforded by another purchase of Consols on account of the Sinking Fund. On the whole, the deulin;ps have been rather more numerous and important to-day; but this is only what was expected, as the transfer books of many of the home stocks will close to-morrow (Wed nesday), us already advertised. Consols opened at 90 tot for money, and about 96 for the 10th of April, and are now quoted better at 901 to for cash, and 90 . a to for time. The following are the prices of business : Three per Cent. Consols, 96!., ..!; ditto for Account, 10th April, 964. Reduced Three per Cents., 974,1. New Three-and-n-Quarter per Cents., 994 ' 98; 0 1191. Long Annuities, 1000, 7;1, 13-18; ditto 30 years, 1880, 7 7-10. Bank Stock, 215. The increase of ease in the money market continues to be illlustrated by the augmented demand for Ex chequer Hills and India Bonds, both of which have further improved. Exchequer Bills of all sizes mark 31s. and 545. prem., being a further rise of Is. India Bonds, 1,0001., 535.; ditto under 1,000/., 551. aud . s4s. premium. The bUsiness in foreign stocks is exceedingly small, but the market is firm. There has been some inquiry for Russian Five per Cents., and the price has improved. Peruvian stocks maintain extreme quotations. Mexican Bonds, however, show no signs of a rally, the unfavourable intelligence from Mexico continuingtoexercise a depressing influence. The busi ness list of the morning is :—Brazilinn Old Five per Cents., 92;; ditto small, 931. Two-and-a-Hull per Cents. Dutch, Equador Bonds. 31. Mexican Bonds, 33.1, 1. Peruvian Four-and-n-Half per Cents., 1849, for the 14th of March, 144!. Portuguese Four per Cents., 34. Russian Five per Cents., II 1 ex div. Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account, 20. The committee of Mexican bondholders inform as they have received adviees front Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the 3rd ultimo. At that date the ac ceptance of the decree of the 14th October last by tho bondholders here was not yet known in Mexico, and Mr. Faleonners letter therefore contains nothing re lative to what the bondholders are to have out of the American Indemnity money except this passage: " Had not Mr. Payno's illness suspended my negoti ations, I believe that I should have succeeded in get ting the assignment of the 2,500,000 dole. on the indemnity money, deposited in such a manlier as entirely to remove it from the control of the govern ment. Mr. Falconners negotiations with the go vernment, generally, had been suspended by Mr. Payno's illness and subsequent rcsagnment of the ministry of finance. He is succeeded by Don Ygnacio Esteva, who had not taken actual charge of the department at the date of these despatches. Mr. Falconnet had, however, had an interview with the new President, General Arista, who assured him that he would do everything in his power to satisfy the bondholders. No definite arrangement had been come to vet with Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, but Mr. l'alconnet continues to entertain hopes of recovering what is due from them to the bond holders. The Severn brings 56,500 dole. for account of tho bondholders, from the custom-houses of Vera Cruz and Tampico. The resignation of Mr. Payno is a matter of great moment to the bondholders, and its causes are as yet obscure. Although ill health is in some quarters assigned, political reasons are believed to have had more influence. A large party in the senate were hostile to ltim on account of his measure for the home debt and the restrictions of financial credit, and be dock not seem to have been adequately sup ported by the new President Arista. At any rate, there was at the last date a crisis in the cabinet, nor does it seem certain that Esteva, the new minister, is pledged to the policy of Puyno. The hankering of the Mexican officials after the indemnity money is well known, and the condition of the western pro vinces excites the most serious alarm. The state of Old California has made a claim fur 2,000,000 dais; out of the indemnity money, threatening recourse to the United States, and the neighbouring border pro vince of Sonora has made a vast grant of lands for American purposes, against which the central govern ment and Mr. Doyle, on behalf of the bondholders, have protested. The news of the ratification was received out at Mexico on the 4th February by Messrs. Lizardi by the way of the United States. _ _ £NOLI9U VU/41164.—Tews DAT. Ilmtalt SOL*, 215 16 13 ple Ct. Ur. AM.
