of home-grown wheat have been on sale here this week. Fine
heavy qualities have ruled steady, and prices bare been the
turn against buyers; but all other kinds have sold slowly, at

most kinds of barley, at fully late rates. Malt has been dull.

Ancient and Modern Schools of Art. Oil Paintings, Water-colour
Drawings, Engravings; Sculpture, in marble and stone; Carvings,
in ivory and wood ; Bronzes, Coins, and Works of Artistic ex-
cellence, in gold, silver. steel, or iron, in glass and earthenware,
'errs cotta and plaster, will necessarily constitute the main fea-
tures of the Exhibition.

The Executive Committee respectfully invite communications
from possessors of Art-Treasures who •say feel interested in the
success of a scheme which aims at the worthy illustration of the
artwealth of the United Kiegdom.
From the known Catalogues of the resources of the country,
thus extended, the Committee propose, with the assistance of
officers of acknowledged competencj, to make such a selection
a•t will enable them to place before the world an Art-Exhibition
not less valuable to the student trom its chronological arrange-
ment, than attractive to the public from its beauty and c•nn-
pleteness.
The Committee do not desire to elicit from Manufacturers spe-
cimens of their pro uctions either for competition or sale.
The Exhibition Building will b. erected on a site adjoining
the Botanic Gardens, distant about two miles from the centre of
the city, and quite free from atmosphere impurities. Great con-
sideration has been given to the mode of lighting the halls for
the display of pictures and sculpture, and every precaution will
be taken to protect the works of art from injury.
In all cases where desired by the owners, the Committee will
insure the art treasures contributed.
