SIR WILFRID LAWSON ON THE PERMISSIVE
BILL

Sir Wilfrid Lawson is likely to effect more good in hit
Permissive Bill crusade by the pleasant speeches with
which he is now favouring his hearers than by any
number of stmiling statistics he could quote, and strong
Mut ttttttttttttttt he could utter. Sir Wilfrid's speech in the
hone, of ( 'o tttttt ons on Fiji was tote of the It of the
awl that jit.t delivered by him to his constituents
at a great county temperance de tttttt istration held in his
grounds, at which ten thou.uul persons were present, was
in the sante humorous iota. lion, hart. considered
it a favourable sigu that Good Templar* were laughed at,
for he never knew anybody in the world who carried on a
good work but was laughed at for his pains. Good
Templar:l were much laughed at because they wore
regalia. Ile himself did nut wear regalia, because he
thought lie could ti,ltt against the evil of intenwmanes
ju,t as well in a shooting jackets But he did not quarrel
with those who thought they could light better if they
were tiress,al in some particular uniform. They tvere only
eopying the clergy. MD. were fighting a lifelong light
against evil and wickedness ; awl miring the last session
one of the a lost inustrtant duties of Parliament had beam
to decide what ttttt form those clergymen should wear.
They were lightiny„ too, against unit ersal taste. Be had
read of a Yankee lecturer, who with, ' Many men, ituuty
minds ;" upon which an oil Yankee called out, "Squire,
you are wrong there if you asked on up on the platform
to have a drink every .sie of us would come.- Anti he
hdkved if he (sir Wilfrid) offered that company a drink,
a tossl many mould fetch it, although it 'masa temperance
gathering. Referring to the ttttttt oriole remedies proposed
for the great evil of uu. drunkenness, the I . speaker
said working-metes chile. were to settle the whole thing ;
but the publicans had beaten the clubs out of the fiehl.
Tlwn a meeting of Carlisle clergymen proposirl that

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

The basis of wheat and flour quotations has been
rudely shaken down to a lower level of 35. to 4s. for
for Foreign, and 6s. to Bs. on English wheat. It can-
not be denied that threshing out, which many persons
expected to be disappointed in its result, yields more
corn than anticipated, and thus the opinions improve
of the goodness of the general harvest. Rapid
supplies are this year rendered easy by the condition
of the grain, and the yield of the ears, which are
witnessed by the fact that threshing machines have
knocked out in several districts to qr, wheat in one
hour, an% 70 to 80 qr. in a day, whereas last year
double time and labour was necessary. Mr. Mcchi
notices this feature, and we have had the same
corroborated by the owners of machines working for
hire. As regards the price to which English red
wheat has dropped, 445. to sos., growers in many
cases appear content to go on selling, whereas other
farmers have decided, at once, to leave off threshing
wheat, and proceed to barley and oats, both of which
staples keep up full rates. Nesi barley has a wide
range from 425. to 545. per qr., but some little reduc-
tion on these high figures can very well be allowed as
soon as the supply increases, and yet the value will
remain highly remunerative Maize, beans, and pais
havewell supported top priccs during the past week,
some sales at 6d. toys, advance having been possible.
The large supply oflbreign oats on Wednesday reduced
Prices 6d. to gd. from the previous week.
When wheat was reduced 5.4. to 6s. on Monday,
Flour for most sorts was Is. to as. per sack lower,
and the London high-priced qualities were reduced
35., from sos. to 47s- per sack, for good country house-
holds.

trade is bad for them. Our foreign supply consists of
200 beasts, 2660 sheep, and 490 calves.

The course of the country markets has this season
dominated the London Trade, and in the present
week's fall in price, Mark Lane did not follow
Norwich, Reading, Peterboro, and other leading
Provincial markets. This characteristic must not be
disregarded, as it announces that home grown corn
will, probably for the autumn, compete with, under-
sell, and Ind the quotations of foreign sorts. later in
the year imports from French and other near ports
may probably resume their usual influence and con-
trol the markets. It is highly desirable that buyers
and sellers agree to moderation in their transactions
for the next month, as any great changes from the
level just established would disorganize trade for the
winter.

During the cereal year just ending, English wheat
was at its highest after harvest up to February, and
with the new crop being well gathered, the average
price, 565. ad., shows the steadiness of the English
trade, which quite escaped the fluctuations of
foreign.

METROPOLITAN MEAT.—TUESDAY.
Fair supplies of meat were on sale here to-day, and
trade remained quiet at the quotations annexed :

At present there are only :5 whew cargoes and six
of maize on sale off coast. These are utterly neglected;
445. for American spring, 435. for Odessa, seem the
, nearest rates quotable. It is said American shippers
, are willing to accept 425. for cargoes to be shipped for
orders, and even 40s. to direct ports on the west of
England. American maize cargoes are held at 335. 64.
In Mark lane, off stands, the corn is to be had at 335.
to 345.
As regards the quantity of grain on passage, it is to
a rather important extent. of less bulk than that coming
at the same time last year.
The exports of bread stuff, from the United States
to Great Britain and Ireland, from Sept. 1, 1873, are
returned : wheat, 5,594,500 qr. ; flour, 1,366,900
brls. This is a bulk that infers America might, alone,
in one year, be able to supply the wants of England,
as beyond the about 6 million qr. of wheat and flour
above, the Continent receiving over i million qr., and
in plentiful years the United Kingdon only wants 7
million qr.
