The London correepondent of the Maiwie ger Guanfiait
writ ..s:—The rumour is revived that Mr. Gerard Sturt,
'.l. I'., out Sir Ivor Guest are to he raised to the peerage.
In the person of Sir Ivor Guest the Conservative ranks
will gain a wealthy adherent from the opposite party, for
Sr Ivor's father was, and many of his youngcr brothers
•till are, Whigs. Sir Ivor hp the advantage, also, of
having married a daughter of the Deke of Marlborough,
and it will be remember...l that some sus prise was caused
when, in the formation of the present Administration, his
grace was left out in the eold. Mr. Sturt has sat for tin
imunty town sad county of Dorset Sillee ISA and he and
his family have been suptiorters .4 the Conservative party
for generations. Proliabiy the rumour in to -Mr. Sturt
promotion may have arisen from Disraeli's recent visit
to t:richel Mouse.

At Birmingham the quality and condition generally
was middling, and the demand consequently extremely
inactive. A decline of Is. to as. per quarter from the
rates of this day fortnight must be notes'. At Devizes
trade was very dull and to effect sales a fall of Is. per
sack had to be submitted to. In barley, trade for all
except the very best samples was slow, and last week's
prices were with difficulty maintained.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, grain trade quid.
Attendance limited, and business restricted. English
wheat sparingly offered. Still the demand ruled
heavy, at the late decline. Foreign wheat in fair
supply, and changed hands slowly at previous curren-
cies. A moderate supply of barley on offer. Malting
produce firm in value, but demand not active. Grind-
ing dull and drooping. Malt sold at late prices. Oats
in moderate supply and steady request at hardening
',flees. Maize quiet on former terms, Beans and
peas were purchased to a moderate extent, at last
week's prices. Flour dull and drooping in value.
At Lincoln business ruled brisk, at fully last week's
prices. At Wakefield, wheat inactive, and the amount
of business done was small, prices being about the
same as last week.

BRITISH CORN TRADE.
i The grain trade ha, been still quiet, but the tone
has been rather firmer owing to the cold weather.
English wheat has again come sparingly forward, and
foreign ha, been rather less freely offered, but the
deiiiind has still been far from active. Fine dry
samples have been scarce, and for such an advance of
is. per quarter has been demanded, but millers being
very cautious operators, the improvement has not been
accepted and the few sales effected have been at
previous currencies; damp and inferior samples have
been altogether neglected. If the weather should
again become cold, we may anticipate that value will
harden, but an important advance need not be looked
fur unless agricultural prospects should become un-
favourable. At present there are over 1,c00,000 qrs.
on passage from California and Chili. The quantity
of British wheat disposed of at Nlark•Lane during the
week ending January 59 was 3,882 quarters; average,
455. sd. Barley. 945 quarters; average, 465. 3d.
Oats and maize have been firm and fully as dear.
Barley, beans, and peas unaltered. Flour mactiue.
On Thursday, at Bristol, good supply of English
wheat, some of it in damp condition; the sale was
slow, at about last week's prices. There was a firmer
feeling in foreign and a fair trade was done at full
rates. Malting barley firm; fur grinding parcels
there wa.s a good sale at an advance of jd. per quarter.
American maize 6d. per quarter cheaper. Oats in
fair request, at our quotations

the day following, to the unfeigned regret of every in..

on the part of the sitthorities of Winchester College, It
would appear that they had resolv.l to rule this parish

MANURES.

The market for nitrate of soda has been very quiet,
and prices seem likely to advance as the season for
consumption comes on. Owing to the uncertain quality
of Peruvian guano, nitrate of soda is now used very
extensively to supply its place. All other manures
remain at steady rates, but there is a great increase in
the use of the higher class of fertilisers.

• REVIEW OF THE OORN TRADE.
Dulness has still been the characteristic of the wheat
trade_ With the mild weather all tendency towards &m-

the best sample* of English and Foreign wheat have only
been effected at a decline of from one to two shillings per

No symptoms of an early return of activity and

factory reports received from all parte with reference to
agricultural prospects. there is every indication of
rentond ease. The qnantity of wheat now on pe
to an from all pens is padually augmenting. and Is
now estimated at about one million six hundred and
seventy-five thousand quarters more than at this
