CATTLE.

BRISTOL, TIII'ItSPAY.—A fair supply of beef,
which met with an indifferent demand at rather easier
rates. Best descriptions sdii for Sots., and only in
one or two very exceptional cases was as much as 82s.
per cwt. realised ; middling samples fetched from 705.
to 755. We had a pretty fair show of sheep, which
met with a rather active sale, and prices were rather
firmer. Best wetheN fetched 9.1. per lb. ; heavy ewes
from 7W. to 8,1 The store cattle trade was again
almost nit Only a few head were brought over from
Ireland, and there %MA scarcely any inquiry after
them. This is said to be due to the heavy cost of
keep, and it is not expected that, so long as hay keeps
up to £6 a ton, there will be much speculation in store
cattle. Wc had a midling show of mach cows, but
the trade was not particularly active. There were
froin 1,400 to 1,500 pigs on offer, and they met with
a sharp sale. Bacon pigs, los. 6.1. to los. 9.1. per
score; porkers. Its.
M ETROPOLITAN, Titu sb.tY. —The number of
English bea:Li is larger than last week, but of foreign
considerably smaller. Trade is excessively dull except
for the few choice qualities on offer. Wc retain
Nfonday's quotations but several lots of inferior un-
sold. There arc very few sheep on offer, and scarcely
any trade for them. Choice calves are scarce and
dear. There are 61) English and to Dutch mulch
cows on sale; trade for them is very dull. Our
foreign supply consiste of 245 beasts, 853 sheep, and
55 calves.

SEEDS.

Our agricultural seed trade continues quiet but firm.
Fine purple samples of new English red clover seed are
scarce, and command high rates; in foreign descrip-
tions the tendency of values is upwards. For trefoil
seed there is an improved inquiry, and quotations are
quiteLt per ton higher. In alsike and white clover
seeds the business doing is too limited to cause any
alteration in price. Imported Italian keeps shady.
Owing to continued scarcity canary seed is again some
sus. to iSs. per qr. dearer; to-day's quotation fur
ordinary foreign seed is tilos. per qr. For hemp
seed 1.. per qr. more money is now asked. Good
black rape seed is in short supply. For both white
and brown mustard seed the demand at present is very
small. Of home-grown linseed the supply offering is
very scanty. The high rates demanded for new
spring tares hinder business. Blue boiling peas are
firm at the recent advance.—John Shaw & Sons.

ENGLISH WOOL.

The setx)l markets remain stmdy, but so far busi-
ness has hardly been resumed since the holidays. In
some be:tam:es rather more money it asked for lustre
wools, but in general quotations remain unaltered.

MANURES.

The market for nitrate of soda has been very quiet,
and prices seem likely to advance as the season for
consumption comes comes on. Owing to the un-
certain quality of l'eruvian guano, nitrate of soda is
now used very extensively to supply its place. All
other manures remain at steady rates, but there is a
grtvd increase in the use of the higher class of fer-
tilisers.

sea-captain at Bristol, whose hair., snow white,
an.l who. not yet fn.e from the paralysis of fear, cannot
write his name, and cannot either look at or talk of the
era. I will tell you why. Ile WM I'ore in a huat's crew,
in mid-wean, saved from a burning wreck, in company
, with a lawless ,et dramerate men and his son a 1.1 of
! fifteen year.. They were in a fearful pligtit, and, having
Wool about for day, awl days, weft suirved with hunger
mid mail for hum., It was settled that one of the
crew t .lie -they must Irate flesh and blond. They
coot lots and the 1.4 fell on the rapt ' son. It was
believed tr.. re was foul play at this terrible lottery. S., it
was armagol that the Icy Wa4 tol he killed, and in such it
ntrainer that his young blood might be sustaining for lb°
miserable creature, Then 'up spoke the captain, and up
5p01,.: lie as the n 0... ray, and be offered his life instead
of that of his son, lie heggod the crew on his knees to
kill hit,. and t.. save the lad. The crew refuse/L They
wanted to kill the Loy. The captain bit his litre, and felt
in his 'whet. Thank f;0.1: there wat the revolver cafe

1.,, might Is allowed t.. kill his son in hi, own fashion.
Ile null not allow hint to be I.lral Is. death, but would
shoot his law. and blew his own brain. out afterwards.
Tile crew refivied. They were desperate, brutal, and
determined to diu their worst. The captain felt in his
pocket sail... Tipped the revolver. When the liiragest ridden
