For the time of year—a—g—ood--amount of business has
lately been doing in our market ; for trifolium especially
there has been an excited demand at rapidly advancing
prices ; present values show a rise since this day
week of fully ss. per cwt. It is now pretty evident
that the quantity of trifolium saved in France is com-
paratively small ; and as the home demand there has
suddenly become strong, it naturally follows that
buyers this side of the Channel have to give much
more money for the article. Our English crop
appears to be small. Old and yearling parcels of
trifolium are now in greatly improved request. The
new English winter tares which thus far have come to
market, although clean, sound, and in good condition,
have been small in size. We have still a good inquiry
for yearling vetches. In clover seed there is scarcely
anything doing. The high prices asked for new
home-grown trefoils prevent business. New French
Italian is now meeting with more attention. The
late grateful rains have brought us an increased
demand for mustard and rape seed, and prices are
tending upwards.--John Shaw and Sons.

siderable advance before another season.

FARM NOTES- IN DORSET.
In the immediate neighbourhood the harvest is only
just commencing but now, with reaping machines every-
where, and with fine weather, the corn will soon be cut
and secured. To-day, however, the pastures and the
turnips are freshened by frequent showers, which, though
they may hinder the harvest, cannot do reel injury to the
corn fields. There appears to be no scarcity of labourers,
Not a few ittnerators are passing on, still seeking a job.
The great harvest the implement makers have tarried on
cannot fail to tell, not only quickly on the standing corn,
but also surely, though slowly, a useful tale to the
labourer.; if hands are wanting, heads must work harder
to invent, arrange, and dispose. So far the men in these
parte are working more cheerily—they and the masters
sewn to have met, and to understand each other, and their
Position, far better. Supply and demand will probably
effect what justice and equity require. As regards the
drink' question, drunkenness is a great evil In this
country, and we have lately had some sad proofs of its
results, still it is not the one giant, but the one glans too
much, which hurts : and men who work hard require some
stimulant to keep them up under the severe trial of extra
trial and extra hours. Probably they "work lisrbtee
with cider, and the beer often supplied is bad stuff.
Everything is said to be for the regular labourers finding
their own beer. Drink money is generally allowed instead
of drink, and with far better results, consequently this
practice is every year becoming more common. The rain
is making the best of a bad job, and the remains of the
swedes are doing better than might be expected. It has
been a trying season for stock.--W. J. Pope, Godmanstome
, Rectory.

over before the voids were returneiL and the collectors
were both sent over the ground, and ascertained the voids
seatrately.

the continuous fall in the price of wheat; and, un-
doubtedly, the opinion is extending that value should
not be allowed to sink lower. The old downward
direction is not yet overcome, and even those persons
, who look for a little recovery in prices, only expect
them to be temporary. The season began badly this
! year, with low prices, just as in other years it will
sometimes commence with prices that merchants
know are too high, and in both casts the first direc-
tion is usually uncontrollable. The actual quotations
of wheat are much the same this week as they were a
fortnight ago, for English and old Foreign sorts,
whilst new American samples and the other secondary
qualities of Foreign are fully Is. lower; the factors off
stands offering American at Lm per sack,
Whilst the United Kingdom is now receiving large
imports, Marseilles is also getting good supitilies, and
has but few customers. The l'aris market is flat and
declining.
The last few days in New York have slightly
lowered the price of wheat and flour, and increawd
that of maize.

Wednesday, an Mark-Lane, had but very little
trade, the usual attendance being very small ; how-
ever, the prevailing tone of the market was thought to
show an increase of firmness.

CATTLE

BRISTOL., THURSDAlt.—timall supply of beef,
and the demand was very quiet, although prices were
somewhat easier. Best descriptions fetched 751. per
cwt., but a few superior samples realised a little more
money, while middling sorts changed hands at from
66s to 705. We had also a short supply of sheep,
which met with a slow sale. Best wethers fetched
Sd., and heavy ewes 7d. t 0 7%d. per lb. We had
a rather short supply of milch cows, and trade was
dull, at about late rates. There were about 2,200
store cattle on offer, the trade was rather better,
prices remaining about the same. There were about
1,200 pigs on offer. flacon pigs fetched from los. od.
to xos. tcsb per score ; porkers, which were rather
scarce, from tic, 6d. to 125.
METROPOLITAN, TIit•RSDAY.—We have very
few beasts on offer to-day, and the trade is very dull.
Monday's quotations are freely given for choicest, and
in a few instances are exceeded. The supply of sheep
is also small, but quite sufficient for the demand.
Some choicest qualities make rather more than on
Monday. Calves arc plentiful ; trade is slow at late
rates. There are only 55 English milch cows on offer,
and not any Dutch ; no alteration in trade for them.
Our foreign supply consists of 500 beasts, 3,620 sheep,
135 calves.

SHOCKING MURDER BY A
FATHER AT SHERBORNE.

-

Mr. James Senior, corn merchant, a well-known
attendant at Dorchester market, at mid-day to-day

and thrust a carving knife completely through her,
killing her instantly. To Superintendent Hare, who
took him, he said it was through poverty. It is said
he had to meet two heavy payments. He was taken
before the magistrates and remanded. He is believed
to be mad.

SEEDS.

Inactivity. as might be expected, now characterises
the agricultural seed trade. Red clover seed, notwith-
standing thc casir terms on which it can be obtained,
fails to find buyers. Cable advices from New York
(mite a further reduction of Is. per cwt., whilst from
France offers now come to hand at very reasonable
rates. Very little home-grown seed has yet made its
appearance at Mark-Lane. Alsike seed continues in
some request, but white clovers and trefoils meet with
no attention. The few small onlers which still drop
in for winter tans are executed at full prices. Canary
semi still realises very extravagant rates. The high
values at which spring tares are held in Konig.bmg
prevent onlers being sent out. Lin.sited, hemp, rape,
and mustard seed are without change.—John Shaw
