COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.
There was so little English Wheat at market this morn-
ing, that its value mast be quoted nominally as on Monday.
The arrivals of foreign Wheat although not large, have been
more than adequate to the restricted demand of our miller,,
consequent upon the continuance of highly favourable wea-
ther for the growing crops ; and the turn in price was is fa-
vour of the buyer.
Flour sold on much the same terms as earlier in the
week. Rather short arrivals of Oats have caabled Factors
to establish an advance of Gd. per qr.
Barley, Beans, and Peas, supported late rates.

MINCING-LANE.—THIS DAY.
SUGAR.—The market has been dull, and the prices of
West India have been irregular, and again show a slight
decline in many instances. Mauritius sold in pub-
lic sale at last week's currency. Three cargoes of
foreign have been sold afloat, but not much done
on the spot, as holders are waiting for the reduction of
the duty of ls. 6d. en this deieripticn, which takes place
on the 6th of July next. The Refined market is dull, and
prices with difficulty supported; grocery lumps, fair to
fine, 465. to 581. ; low brown lumps, 455. 6d.
COPPEE.—Thie article has slightly improved during the
week. Plantation Ceylon sold freely in public sale, and a
fair amount of business done in Native Ceylon, 465. 61. to
475., chiefly at the latter price.
TEL.—The market has been inactive this week, chiefly
attributable to the trade being occupied in clearing goods.
The public sale next Tuesday will probably be the re-
opening of the market as regards the attendance of the
trade. Transactions made this week have been at full
prices.
Rica has advanced 3d. to 6d. this week.
SALTPETRE fully maintained last week's currency in
public sale to-day.

Tang.

week, chiefly by the trade. Good and fine old has ad-
vanced 3s. to ss. per cwt. ; new sold, 501. to 651. Valencia
Raisins In fair demand.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
We have about an average number of Beasts, but the
quality is inferior, consequently choice descriptions realise
Monday's quotations without much difficulty; middling
kinds are rather lower. There is a shorter supply of Shecp
and Lambs, trade is slow ; prices are better than on Friday,
but we cannot quote higher than on Monday last. There is
no alteration in the Calf trade. Our foreign supply con-
sists of 183 Beasts, 1.110 Sheep, and 4.56 Calves; from
Norfolk and Suffolk, 400 Beasts ; and 132 Mikh Cows from
the Home Counties.

A SUGGESTION IN GAS LIGIITING.—Every ocet
who has had experience of rooms lighted with gas must be
aware of the great heat produced by its combustion, and of
the s ffect it has in diminishing the purity of the air, and
therefore rendering it less fit for respiration. Now I beg to
propose, that in order to remedy these evils each main gas-
pipe should be accompanied by another, conveying air from
the external atmosphere, ramifying with all the pipes, and
discharging its contents by openings alongside of all those
from which the infiaremable gas issues. The proportion of
oxygen in atmospheric air, and the relative proportions of
hydrogen and oxygen uniting in the combustion of these
gases, require teat the atmospheric air tubes and orifices
should be ass, and the coal gas tubes and orifices as 2. If
gas-pipes were fitted up in this manner, so that every
burner should draw its supply of oxygen from the external
air, and not from that cf the room in which it is burned,
the air of the latter would not be so much heated, nor so
greatly diminished in purity.—Correspondent of the Builder
