NB. -ROEBUCK ON THE POLITICAL
OUTLOOK.

Mr Roebueir, who was entertained at a banquet In
Sheffield on Monday night, in celebration of hls elution
made • speech in whieh he expressed his belief that
the present position of the Gladstone Ministry bad
resulted from a feeling of insecurity throaghout the
OotlittrY. He regarded the Misrules between
Conservative and Liberal as but a shadow,
and asked whether the one would do away
with the ballot or the other oppve the mainte-
nance of the eauroh of Ragland. He went on :-
1 pet the parties together—the old Tory In his way and
the Radical cud Whig in theirs. They are both coming
to believe that this old country of ours Is a glorious
old laud, and that we ought to do oar utmost to main-
tain our institutions and lead her onward in the reareh
of the nations of the world—(ehears)—so that we may
preserve her u the home of the free, the head of all
that Is great and noble and glo,lous in the earth—(tre-
meadow applause). lam not saying to those who
have the guardianship of our institutions, " Do nothing
to true beak what bas been done. What has been
gained spinet prejitdioe and error, let it be gained ; it
may have been done under misapprehension and under
wrong principles, but it is done; we have gone on, but
let us not fall back ; we have advanced, let nothing
drive ns from what we have attained." (say to them,
who are to govern us hereafter, "Maintain us where
we are." 'Therefore I am not afraid of reaction. I
must say—if I might presume on any advice to the
groat mth who will soon be obliged upon to govern this
country—l would say to him "Make • new party ,•
suspend on the one side what is called 'Liberalism'
and on the other 'Coneervatism,' and make • National
party"—(oheen). linglaud should be your concern,
end not early considerations. Do not wit "How wiU
this benefit my party r. but "How will this benefit my
country?"

The ports bars been depressed. Both the Western
markets, at which Americ,e grain is the chief staple,
and the Eastern ports, where the trade is principally in
Continental produce, have bran weak, with prices
hesitating, and more favourable ta buyers than hitherto.
The Inland markets, the supplies of which are chiefly,
or entirely of home growth, have been in a firmer
position than the ports, rollers steadily refusing to
make oonoessions, notwithstanding the almost complete
absence of business and the general refusal of purchases
for speculation. The Glasgow market on Wednesday
was la 61. cheaper for wheat and flour, and le. for all
aorta of spring porn. Beans were 81. below former
rates. In London on Wednesday, the market wee dull
at previous prices for all articles. The French
markets uf the past week have been scantily supplied
with wheat, but value has kept steady. Of 58 lateet
markets, 10 report an &drawee In the price of wheat, 15
strength of tone at full rates, 25 steadiness, and 8 a
decline. The trade ie spring corn lies been favourable
to fanners and merchants who have succeeded In
realising extraordinary prima'. The latest telegrams
from Paris report that business on the Corn Ex 'tango
there closes comparatively strong with the value of
wheat tending upwards, and the price of flour unchanged
with a limited demand.

_
On Thursday at Bristol, • moderate supply of
English wheat, for which the trade ruled dull at •
decline of Is. per quarter ; an improved demand for
foreign, at • reduction of le. to la. 61. per quarter.
Indian oorn dull, and fully is. per quarter cheaper.
Malting barley quite as dear ; grinding 6.1. per qu trier
lower, with rather more inquiry. Oats in fair demand,
without change in value. At Birmingham supply of flue
English wheat only limited, and for such prices were un-
changed from last week. Samples out of condition or
of inferior quality were neglected, although offered at
some conoesions in price. Al Devises best dry samples
maintained last week's pries', but inferior lots were a
dull fele at a decline of 61. per sack. Oats and peas
ware Is. to 1.. Bd. per sack higher. At Manchester
English torts were rather easier to buy; foreign 21 to
41. per ciente' cheaper. Al Newbury bugbear slow, and
prises mast be quoted is. to 2s. per quarter below last
week's rate', white wheat fetching Sta. to 72e. per qr.,
and red ditto 561. to 68e. per quarter.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, owing chiefly to the
prevalent,* of fog, the market. was thinly attended, and
very little business was transacted in any kind of pro-
duce. English wheat was in limited @apply and nomi-
nally unaltered In value. Foreign wheat was dull, more
particularly A.marican, of which there was • large
supply, and for which easier rata' were friquently
accepted. Malting barley was steady, and no °hinge
occurred in the value of either grinding or distilling
qualities. Malt was taken if cautiously. and barely
supported the rates of Monday last. Oita were is
aloes, of mink, meats, and priors generelly favours+
buyers. Maine was offered occasionally on slightly
reduoed terms without attracting much attention.
Beans and peas remained quiet at about late rates. The
inr trade was rather heavy, American barrels being in
liberal supply and 'lightly cheaper. Al Liverpool, fall
attendance. Wheat a decidedly better tone, and some
disposition to parches* on speculation, at the low prices
of Tuesday, • fair quantity of red Anieriesn havlsg been
taken, Flour rather more doing, at previous rates.
Beans, oata, and oatmeal without change. Indian *ern
• good Wealthy demand at extreme rates of last market.
Old mixed, 37e. to 37a. 31.', new ditto, 381. to 36e. 61.
At Wakefield wheat net • limited demand, and prices
must generally be noted It per qr. lower than 1.. t
Friday. The barley trade is also dull, and to effect sale.
of general rune, a decline of Is. per qr. must be eon.
soled. Beans and oats rather eheeper.

COVENT GARDEN.
Tbe markets remain very quiet, orders from the
prorlootal OEM being limited to sough volitive
in bulk at sales. Considerable quantities of eommon
tipples are still offered at low prices, especially
from the West of England ; good sorted varieties are
