A GREAT

MEETING Will he held at

Paris, between the Ist and 9th of June next, to which,
for the first time, foreign live stock will be admitted.
Among the classes open for competition to British ex •
hibitors there are premiums for short-horns amounting
to 1801., and for any other breeds of cattle, to 2241. ;
for Leicester and other long-woolled sheep, to 2251.
for South-downs and short-wools, 1121.; for swine, 961.
Medals will, in addition, be given with the different
money premiums—of gold with the first, silver with
the second, and bronze with the others. The ex-
penses for conveying stock, after passing the French
frontiers, will be repaid; general arrangements will
be made for housing and feeding in Paris during the
whole time of the exhibition, and when it is over,
those animals which are not intended to be sent
back will no doubt find an easy sale at the auction
which will take place. The duties payable on animals
entering France are now reduced to 2s. 11d. on oxen,
and 2id. on sheep.
THE prospectus has been issued of the Tergrove
Mining Company, formed for the purpose of develop-
ing a mineral property in Croatia, obtained by a
concession from the Austrian Government. The
capital is to be 50,0001., in shares of 21. 10s. Between
1842 and 1816 the Austrian Government tested the
district at an expense of 30,0001., and obtained a
report which led to arrangements being made for
active proceedings, copper and lead ore of considerable
value having been brought to surface. The works
were suspended on account of the Hungarian war,
and the resolution has since been adopted, per-
mitting the enterprise to be carried on by private
bands.

CORN• EXCHANGE—During the present week the receipts
of home-grown wheat have been on a very moderate scale;
nevertheless, the demand for all kinds has been in a sluggish
state. Where sales have taken place prices have given way
from Is to !Zs per quarter. In foreign wheat very little has been
doing on former terms. The barley trade may be considered
steady; but we have no improvement to notice in value. Malt
has sold slowly, at the late decline. There has been only a
limited inquiry for oats, at late currencies. Beans have realised
full prices, but without much activity in the demand. White
peas have risen Is to 2s per quarter, and the value of grey and
maple has been firm. The flour trade has ruled jdull, and
country qualities have had a downward tendency.
