MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, Business during the last few , dap= has been sus- Pended in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Mar lets, owing to the Easter Holidays, but operations will recommence to-morrow (Wednesday) the 23d inst. A large amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The sales were about 15,000 bales. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very moderate, and the market seldom pre sented a quieter and easier appearance. Only a small amount of paper is taken to the Bank of Eng land, because greater facilities are offered elsewhere, 2 4- per cent. being the current rate for first-class bills. About £61,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Tagus, from Lisbon, has brought £2,000 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Brighton Railway for the pa s t week show an increase of £4,837; and of the South-Eastern of £2,174. On the Great Western Railway of Canada, the traffic returns for the week ending the 4th instant amounted to £12,300 against £11,383 last year. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLocK. A. special meeting of the Scinde Railway Com. Pally (Delhi Railway) took place to day; Mr. W. Andrews in the chair. The object of the meeting Vas to authorise the raising of £2,500,000 of capital by the issue of 125,000 shares of £2O each, 'to be tiPplied to the construction of a line by way of ex tension of the Punjaub Railway to Delhi, to be called t he " Delhi Railway," and upon which capital the S ecretary of State for India in Council has guaran teed 5 per cent. interest. The chairman gave a a'accinct and interesting account of the various pro l'inces through which the line would pass, and gated that no responsibility would be incurred by the proprietors in sanctioning the undertaking. The route had been favourably reported upon by the engineers, and possessed many commercial ad va ntages. A formal resolution authorising the wising of the proposed capital was passed after a short discussion. The market for the English Funds retains a very quiescent appearance through the dulness of s Peculation, but notwithstanding the prevailing in activity continued firmness is apparent. Consols are 93-'1 94 for money and the Bth prox., showing at 'eadiness, the market still deriving considerable a l l Pport from the extreme easiness of money and o ther favourable influences.

GREAT FIRE NEAR TORQUAY.—One of the most extensive conflagrations that has taken place in the neigh bourhood of Torquay f.r a gr at number of years, occurred Friday, at Bartva Hall the beautiful seat of Mr. Henry Langford Brown,, about two miles from Torquay, on the Newton Road, 'and which resulted in the total destruction 0 1 the above ',mansion. The fire occurred between eleven +tad twelve o'clock in the forenoon. It appears to have broken Out iu one of the bedrooms. Every possible assis lattem was rendered by those present in removing the Jurni t4t.e and other valuable propertY. These were taken out on the lawn in front of the house, and, although principally %red, are greatly damaged. The house is entirely de noyed/ an the damage done is estimated at several thou.. And popoids. A " .. .BREST OF COLONEL KNOX'S ASSAILANT.- -6 exertions of the police to discover the miscreant who on '3lst ult. fired at Colonel Knox, of Brittas:Castle, have, it -is believed, at length been successful. A man, 'tarried Bohen, the sou of a farraer residing at Barnane, Was arrested on Friday last, and has been identified by Colonel Knox as the person who fired at him. It will be remembered that at the time cf the occurrence the assassin, previous to discharging his pistol, crossed the read, caught hold of the bridle of Colonel Knox's horse, and demanded money, and, on being refused, he pulled a Pistol out of his pocket, and discharged its contents at Colonel. Knox's head. It will thus be seen that Colonel X'aox had ample time and opportunity to observe the &a ttires o f the man, so as to be able to identify hi m . NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.—On the Ist' of May next and thenceforth postage stamps, price threep ence each, will be issued, and will be procurable at any Post-office.- -command of the Postmaster-General, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.

Upwards of 500 emigrants leave; these belong ap parently not to the poorer, but to the more comfortable class of small farmers. Astonishing as it may seem, the number emigrating during this and the past three weeks is even greater than during the correspondin g p e riods last year." ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A very lady-like woman, appa rently about twenty-five years of age, and who gave the .name of Emma Summers, was charged with attempting to Icommit suicide. An inspector of the Thames police said this morning about a quarter past seven his attention was called to two boys struggling with the prisoner in one of the alcoves on Waterloo-bridge. I ran up, when the boys told me the lady was going to drown herself. She told me it was no use stopping her, as she intended to do it some time or other. Mr. Corrie—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner (crying)—Nothing. Frederick Savard said—l was going over Waterloo bridge this morning about seven o'clock in company with my companion, Terry, when he said, " Look at that lady bow she's crying. I think she's going to commit suicide. Let's follow her." We both ran after her, and just as Terry got up she was getting on the top of the balustrade. We took hold of her and she struggled very much. II e called out for help, when the police officer came up. G. Terry—T was going over the bridge this morning, as stated by the former witness, when we saw the lady crying. I thought she was going to jump over the bridge, and I ran after her to prevent her. I got up to her before Savard, and took hold of her dress and held her for a few moment-, when Savard also took hold of her dress. She begged very hard for us to let her go. She said it was no use stopping her as she was determined to drown herself. ➢lr. Corrie—Do you wish to ask the witnesses any ques. Prisoner—No, sir, Mr. Corrie—Where do you live ? The prisoner remained silent. Inspector West—She refuses to give any information as to her residence. Prisoner (in a very low tone of voice)—l can only excuse myself, sir, by assuring you that I will never again attempt suicide, Mr. Corrie—l cannot let you go without some inquiry, I understand you refuse to give any information, and there fore I shall remand you for a few days in order to enable the police time to make inquiries. The prisoner, weeping bitterly, was led from the dock by the gaoler. STEALING TIMBER.—Two men, named Sullivan and King, were charged with stealing two pine planks, the pro perty of Messrs. Thurston and Co., Catherine-street. Police-constable 129 F said he was on duty near the Adelphi, when he saw the prisoners each carrying a long pine plank. He asked them where they got them, and the answer not being satisfactory he took thorn both to the sta tion house. Mr. Pitt, of the firm of Thurston and Co., said the planks in question were his property, and were taken from his wharf near Salisbury-street. Sullivan had been in his em ploy off and on, and King had also done some work for him. They both were well acquainted with the place where the property was kept. Both prisoners denied the robbery, and each accused the other of employing him to carry the property away. They were fully committed for trial. I3RITISH POSSESSIONS. Share I Railways.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. GROSS OUTRAGE ON A FOIALE.—Two ruffianly lad's, named Michael Reander and James Tilley, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others, in the following gross attack on Mrs. Catherine z , tory, a re spectable married woman, residing at 23, New-street, Brompton. Mrs. Story said—l was passing through Hyde-park, about 9 o'clock at night, yesterday week, being an invalid, and using an instrument to support my leg, having an in jured knee cap. I was suddenly surrounded by the pri soners and six or eight other lads. My pocket was picked of my purse, containing some silver, and I was most shame fully ill-used by the lads. '1 hey put their hands up my clothes, and behaved in the grossest manner possible. The prisoners were two that ill-treated me, but I was so fright ened that I scarcely know which was the worst of the two. I tried to get away as well as I could, and in doing so had my shawl much torn. When the lads saw the instrument on my leg they made use of the most disgusting language towards me, and then ran off. _ _ _ Charles Smith, 131 B, said he went to Reander's lodg ings this morning, and on telling him the charge, he said he had made a mistake this time. He took him into cus tody, and then went to Tilley's lodgings, and on telling him the charge, he said he was there at the time, but had none of the money. The prisoners were remanded for a week. THAMES, THIS DAY. A FEMALE HIGHWAY ROBBER.—EIiza Bush, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Woolrych on remand, charged with stealing a silver watch, valued at 4 guineas from the person of Michael Shelley, a foreman in the em ploy of the Victoria Dock Company. A few evenings since, about eight o'clock, Mr. Shelley was passing along the Barking-road, bounded on the south by the East India Dock wall, and on the north by fields and nursery gardens, when ho was accosted by the prisoner with a " Good evening, my dear ; how are you ?" He made no answer, but she clung to him and kept alongside of him for two minutes, when she suddenly broke away from him and joined 86M0 other woman, who la ere follow ing. Mr. Shelley immediately afterwards missed his watch, and went after the prisoner, who was soon captured and given into custody. The watch was not found, but the prisoner had ample opportunity to hand it to one of the cluster of women whom she joined atter the robbery. Mr. Shelley was quite sober, and his watch was quite safe in his waistcoat-pocket when the prisoner first accosted him. , The prisoner, in defence, said she had never seen the:pro secutor's watch, She never had it, good, bad, or indiffe rent. Mr. Woolrych—l have no doubt you took the watch. It no use remanding you again. '1 he watch I am afraid is irrevocably lost to the prosecutor. I shall dispose of this case summarily. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month for the unlawful pos session of the watch. AN INCORRIGIBLE POT STEALER.—A tall and aged German, who gave the name of Charles Franklin, and described himself as a painter of No. 8, Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr, Woolrych, charged with stealing two quart pots, the property of Mr. James Spurgin, the landlord of the Artichoke public•house in Ratcliff-highway. - - The prisoner was observed by a police. constable named James Stroud, No. 141 H, on Artichoke-hill near the pro secutor's house, with something concealed under his coat. He avoided the policeman as much as he could, and went into a retired place. The policeman directly afterwards heard the fall of two pots on the pavement where the pri soner stood. He took him into custody and picked up the two pewter pots, which were now identified by Alfred Davidgo the prosecutor's barman, who said the prisoner came into his master's house and called for half a pint of malt liquor. Directly afterwards he had occasion to turn his back and go into the bar parlour. On his return he missed the prisoner and the pots, which were on the bar counter when the prisoner entered the house. The prisoner, who delivered himself in broken English, said ho never had the pots, and was not in the Artichoke at all, Stroud said the prisoner was convicted of pot stealing, and sentenced to five days' imprisonment, a few months ago. Mr. Woolrych—Tho prisoner is now sentenced to ono month's imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of two quart pots. MARKETS---THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-THIS DAY. The investigation, by the coroner, Mr. St. Clair Bedford, into the circumstances attending the deaths of Edward Rowley and John Morrissey commenced this afternoon at King's College Hospital. The jury having viewed the bodies, proceeded to examine the witnesses, amongst whom were— Michael Neal, labourer, who said—l was working with eceased when the accident occurred. I met a plumber, who appeared very much confused. I said to him, "You've done this," and he said "Yes, I know I've done it." I don't know the man's name. I went up to the spot when the ganger (Bashford) asked if any one could give him an ac count of hcw it was done, and I told him the plumber had done it. The plumber was at work at the water pipes. We had broken the water pipes in opening the ground, and he was making them good. There was one broken near the spot when the gas main burst. The plumber had had a red hot iron in his hand when I saw him. He was about 40 or 50 yards from where the explosion occurred. I have known plumbers' work done while gas repairs, have been on before. I don't think there's danger in it, but in this instance I suppose the bladder that was iu the main got tapped. By a Juror—l saw smoke coming out of a hole in the main the men were laying, and it appeared to me that the hole that was made in the bladder allowed the gas to escape up the main. Edward Lee—l am a plumber, and was engaged by Mr. Smith, who had a contract with the London Gas Company. I was engaged to repair the broken water pipes.. I did not notice any escape of gas prior to the accident. I was working directly behind where the first explosion took place. I was using a hot iren soldering a joint. I might have caused the explosion. There was first a flash as if from a gun, and the next instant there was a report. I smelt nothing before the explosion. I looked up at my end of the pipe to see what damage was done, when I heard the report at the other end of the pipe. If the hot iron would cause the explosion then I might have occasioned the acci dent, but I can't say decidedly that I did. I know Neal. I met him after the accident. He said, pcinting to the hot iron I had in my hand, " That's done it. Down on your knees and thank God you're safe." After the examination of the house surgeon of the hos pital and the consulting engineer of the Commercial Gas Company, _ The jUiy, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of accidental death.

THE REVIEW AT BRIGHTON. was quite overcome, and backed his horse t o its ap pointed station in evident confusion. Everyone now prepared for the me.rch past, whicA commenced at ten minutes past two, with th e li sth Hussars, who it is needless to add seht an admipable example of discipline and drill to their civilian comrades. After them came the Ham pshire ber. saglieri, whose commander forgot to salute the general; and then the " Inns of Court," wh.o cer tainly bore off the palm from anything on the ground, both for marching and appearance. Every one seemed to know, and everyone to like this dis tinguished corps, and when their well-known, affect ing, and most appropriate lyric was struck up by the band, the crowd made the welkin ring with their acclamations. I cannot undertake to note down the interminable succession of corps whi' .1 now passed before the venerable c ommander-in-cb ief during a full hour and a half, who, with head o n .. covered, returned with marked empreseernent the salute of every successive corps, and seemed to watch everything with a most critical eye, whil st an occasional nod indicated that something- had passed deserving of more than ordinary commenda tion. At 3 o'clock not one half of the corps had passed the flagstaff, but a short pause took place in consequence of some difference as to precedence, which was being settled on the crest of the hill. When the march was resumed, a lively Scotch air told that his lordship's countrymen, the Lon don Scottish, were coming, and the crowd with ex cellent taste seized the opportunity for paying the chief another compliment. They cheered again and again. Lord Clyde uncovered, and when /to saw one of the finest infantry regiments in the world marching past, adorned with his own nation .al em blems, it was quite easy to see that his lordah ip was Tnen t both to to P g li affected by no common em o tion. lie stooped ea ger l y r forward over his horse's neck , and th en l ean i ng back, slapped his saddle - bow i n tune to the gay hspey rifles which and etoba himself.nd pl played in c° It was a I 3 the r a most interesting incident, and would have b een strat the complete if the pipers of the corps had only la ad wit enough to strike up the pibroch as they past ed th e flag-staff. Of course I do not mean more than a momentary scream, as every one is aware that eve n respect for Lord Clyde could not reconcile southern ears to any more lengthened specimen of the national. The Volunteer Review at Brighton, looked for ward to with so much interest, came off yesterday with conspicuous success. Never before, in the long and terrible history of war, was the attempt made , o place an army of 20,000 men in the field, and to undertake military operations with them at a point 50 miles distant from that which they quitted the same morning. Of course, any country which could show its ability to do this added materially to its defensive power, and still more to its military repu tation. During the Italian campaign troops, it is true, were conveyed by railway along the rear of their own line for a distance of four or five miles, and brought into action. But in that case the com mander simply took advantage of the facilities fforded by a line which happened to skirt the rear of his army. In the present instance the fact has for the first time been broadly recognised that future wars, especially defensive wars, must be fought with the help of railways just as much as of monster guns and iron-plated ships, The illustration of what can be accomplished through the agency of our railway system presents itself very appropriately at a moment when the question of naval supremacy is unsettled, and when the outer line of defence once constituted by our wooden walls has been swept away: The most perfect arrangements of the War office, however, and the most irreproachable perfor- . _ mances on the part of the railway companies, would ! have been unavailing had it not been for the patriotism and energy cf the Volunteers with whom originated the idea of the demonstration that was yesterday carried out with so much success. It would be impossible to speak in terms too high of the spirit animating the force of which the array at Brighton was but a fraction, but the fact in itself is sufficiently eloquent that, without a shilling of expense to the War-office, an army of 20,000 Volunteers was massed in the course of a few hours on a given point, the raw material of which that force was composed being probably equal to any in the world. The last train from Victoria was telegraphed to start at 8 o'clock, so that the arrival of the whole London army at the appointed time became almost a matter of certainty. Rain ! Can it be possible ? What can that be which patters so ominously at the bed-room win dow at about 7 o'clock in the morning, which awakens the sleeper, and causes him to jump up and look out, and think of Washington Irving's " wet Sunday ?" Cannot Aquarius hang up his watering-pot for one day, and allow Lord Clyde to review the volunteer army in a dry skin ? It is rain, real south-coast rain, fresh from the cloudy atmosphere of the Downs, and coming down as if it meant a day's mischief. A hundred thousand eyes at that moment looked out of fifty thousand windows, and offered up inward orisons for that real blessing to Englishmen, a fine day. At eight Aquarius shows symptoms of relenting, and at nine —by which time a breakfast had been swallowed in all the agonies of suspense—the clouds broke ; universal Brighton smiled tho smile of hope, and the cabmen registered a vow at once to treble their fares. As a specimen I may mention that one modest individual, whose horse looked as if he could, with great exertion, reach the Downs by sunset, asked me £2 10s. for the journey "one way." But so it always is when any " event" takes place i❑ the provinces. The local organs of wonder and acquisitiveness are stimulated to such an ex traordinary degree, that the only puzzle with the natives is how much they may safely demand for everything, and the result is that before the crisis has passed, the largest portion of their stock, whether of lodgings or vehicles, lies a drug in the market. However, I did not pay £2 10s., and I got a vehicle which took me to the Downs by such a route as enabled me to note the preliminaries of what every one was preparing for. At the ordinary railway station nobody could guess that anything extraordinary was going on, were it not for the crowds which lingered outside the gates, and .die - music. The last man—l shall not say which was the last , corps—passed the Commander-in-Chief at 25 minutes past 3 ; and, with him, it was evident that the prin cipal interest of the review had, as far as one half of the public were concerned, passed away also. The ring was broken in, the fashionables descended from the stand, and a certain local restaurateur made a grand speculation by demanding 2s. 6d. a head for luncheon, and then informing his guests very coolly that everything except one semi-denuded ham bon e had been demolished hours before. My own impres sion was that the statement was only a mockery, a delusion, and a snare, for I am positive I saw the same ham bone in the same place on last Easter Monday, and therefore I believe it to be a pro perty kept exclusively for the purposes of this annual imposition upon strangers. Hark ! there is a boom of the great gun. Let us leave the delusive jambon, and rush into the air; there are squares being formed in the hollow, and a fierce file fire comes pop, pop, pop, across the hill. The white smoke steals curling up over the brow, and the death rattle of the Enfield sounds nearer and nearer. One of the two hostile armies is evidently being forced back upon its reserves—for see, the dense masses in the hollow close up their ranks, because they know that they soon will be wanted in sup port. Lord Clyde, who commands the attack, is driving everything before him. Squares baie been gallantly formed, but only to be as ruthlessly broken by artillery, and it seems as if the battle was now to become one of great guns. The retreat ing army dispute every inch of ground. The rattle of their musketry is incessant, but what can infan try do against the 6-pounders and siege guns of the Cinque Ports Bombardiers ? There are now bright flashes along the White Hawk ridge, which tells us that the battle comes home. Two haystacks abso lutely crest the hill, and round them the deeds of llugu9m ont and La Belle Alliance are being enacted. I fancy I djscern the white belts of the artisan corps glistening in the new Thermopylae, but I will not be positive a 5 to whether they are, in this case, s. Now they come, Engineers Greeks or Per3ian. and Guards, infantry and artillery, red, green, and grey, pell-mell, victors and vanquished. The re serves go up, and cover the retreat of their collea gues, and a long line covers the ridge from end to end. The cavalry make two charges, and there is a pause. People ask each other, "Is there any thing more worth stopping for?" ,and even the " Victor of Brighton Downs " must renumber that their train leaves at five, sharp. Besides, the pace had begun to tell on the stouter volunteers, for the whole slope of the Downs was dotted with groups of men who had " fallen out " the moment they got the chance. A loud cheer rose at last from the rea coats, Engineers and Working Men—they had car ried the hill, and were driving the reserves in and out in every direction. The columns in the valley began to form front in a promiscuous sort of man ner, some towards Coastguard Castle, others front ing Windmill-hill, and the impression became general that it was time the battle was decid e d one way or the other. The spectators had , fact, got mystified. The distinction between victors and vanquished became more and more of a problem, r, nd great anxiety was expressed for something in " the hand to hand" line, in. place of this distant and complex manoeuvring, and. it required the final charge of the cavalry down the, hill to restore every one to good humour. I was informed that at the termination of the evolutions Lord Clyde expressed in very warm and encourag ing terms his approval of the appearance which had been made by the volunteers. The improve ment, indeed, was conspicuous to everyone, and will, no doubt, go on until we have a civilian army equal to any emergency. I did not hear that a single accident occurred to mar the great success of the day's proceedings. cussed the topic of the day noder the inspiration of the genius loci. For the volunteers a separate dcba;cadere had been provided, and from it they repaired to their various rendezvous without the slightest trouble or confusion. A constant stream of foot passengers flowed along the pathways, all in one direction, and amongst them could be noticed a s.nart sprinkling of single volunteers—red, green, and grey—the tall " Guards" and the small Engi neers, all smoking the calumet of war, which looked . _ exceedingly like a short pipe, and hurrying off to their early tryst. I noticed a good many of the " Two-pound-ienners" crawling empty and sulkily along, and I derived much comfort from thinking that such would most probably be their amusement during the remainder of the day. In the town were two principal rendezvous, both of which my model of a cabman—he ought to have been a volun teer—was gracious enough to permit me to visit. In one of them, the Pavilion, once the secluded Capua of the English Tiberius, but now a Vf ry proper and useful cavalry barracks, the country corps— that is to say, the artillery—mustered to the num- ber of about 2,000. There were the Cinque Ports, who brought their own pieces, and the Portsmodtb, who came without any. Much grumbling was there upon this point. Eighteen six-pounders to eighteen hundred men ! " A halfpenny-worth of bread to all this sack !" It was perfectly monstrous, but it was a fact. Either the Government would not give the guns, or the railway asked too much for carrying them, and so there was all this valiant artillery marshalled on the lucus a non lucendo principle without the guns wherewith they could show Lord Clyde their facility in demolishing infantry F. quares, or sweeping away cavalry squa- drops. The 18th Hussars were veil , kind and patronising to the new corners, and comforted them with the reflection that the absence of guns might, after all., be better both for themselves and for the spectators. They (her Majesty's 18th) cautioned the visitors that if they should be charged at the gallop their plan would be to keep their bayonets up, and not lower them to the ground, an error in practice that had been observed at certain previous volunteer reviews. . The question now arose, what were to be the evolutions. The programme was still a secret in the bosom of Lord Clyde, whose battles, every one said, were all models of evolution. At about half past 12 o'clock his lordship and three other Queen's officers, two of whom were Gens. Pennefather and Dalzell, and followed by four aides-de-camp, gal loped across the open, and took up a position close to the column of the Engineers. Immediately after, obviously in obedience to orders from his lordship, the great masses of men began to move, and several corps, principally light grey, started off at the double to take up their positions. The intention seemed to be to form line along the nearer ridge, in ' addition to which skirmishers were thrown out, a dutywhich is always remarkably well performed by the volunteers. By this time the crowd of specta tors had increased enormously, and people watched eagerly for the nearer approach of the troops. About this time the great weather question was settled by the sun definitively breaking out and establishing himself in a white, hazy, semi-trans parent sky for the rest of the day. It was also ascertained that the intention of the military autho rities was to mass all the troops on the northern heights, and, after a brief inspection, to have the much desiderated " march past" before instead of after the evolutions. The masses on the ridge now grew gradually denser and blacker; and Lord Clyde could be recognised in the foreground bplendit3 mounted, and accompanied by Col M'Aiurclo andt e three inpectors of volunteers. Very shortly after wards_hi,, the sound of a trumpet was heard,. d lordship came galloping up to followed by a brilliant regular and . volunteeri.byquite and, what surprised me a goodde‘ l, the e ainagn- staff, t i betting-ring, showed a hood cortege of civilian equestrians, who. to his lordship in which they thought proper to deal more curiosity than politeness in the closeness exhibit their very indifferent horsemanship, L or d Clyde had a mos t en thusiastic recept ion f rom the crowd, and when, a few moments after, hi s l or d s hi p uncovered whilst speaking to the ladies in the Lord Lieutenant's carriage, the cheering was redoubled, and kept up for se v e r al minutes with an almost f rant i c ve hemence.. His lo r d s hi p , w h o i s said to fear a popular ovation more than a Russian battery, RIO JANEIRO. We have received by the French mail steamer Navarre commercial advices from Rio to the 24th of March. Exchange on England opened at 25.4(14 and closed at 253 d. to 254 d., firm, the bulk of the business for this steamer being done at 252-d.., 90 days. In the coffee market, although the business since the departure of the last English steamer had been very light, dealers were very firm, and p.ricas had advanced upon last quotations. Notwithst end ing the inducements held forth by high prices, coni_ bined with remarkably fine weat her, receipts continued upon the same limited scale a s before, while the advices received from the inte rior confirmed previously expressed views regard ing the quality to come forward from present an d coming crops.
