With that he gricned ague, and shook his heed; and
I felt that disgusted with him and everythink about me
that I slop out in his ear, "You are one pan," and
Lilt him rooted to the spot.
Then we wandered on past • lot of shipping', and

Nang Lau, Friday.—The supply of English wheat
on sale here to-day was moderate. The trade for all
qualities was in • stuggish state, and priors bad • down-

moderately supplied. Tim demand generally riled

Barley warn In short supply, and the trade rated steady,
at fall quotations. Kilt was steady, at late rates. Oats
were in large supply. Considerable business was trans-
acted, at slant- Maaday's oarreooy. Bras and paw
were dull, at Isle rates. For flour the trade ruled quiet,
on former terms.
