At the close of the market a clearance was not effected. In free Foreign Wheat so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. Grain under lock was a mere drug. The finest malting Barley moved off at late rates, but grinding and distilling sorts might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The Malt trade wasvery inactive state, yet we can notice no altera tion In value. We have to notice a steady, hough not to say brisk, inquiry for Oats, at very full prices.

The board also cons ider it desirable to direct the attention of the managers to the im portance retaining at all times a sufficient reserve fund which will place of beyond all risk the security of the funds entrusted to their care by the depositors, and which will enable them, whenever a course may be considered desirable. to dissolve their society without loss being sustained by any of the parties who may have been connected with it." The board wish it to be known that they have no control over a number of societies connected with the " Irish Reproductive Society."
