COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANK-(THIS DAY.)

A good deal of rain fell yesterday, and the weather was
some degrees colder. To-day there is a strong breeze from
the south, with alternate showers and sunshine.
The supply this week of home-grown wheat is extremely
short. Flour and all other descriptions of corn very con-
tracted. No Scotch or Irish arrivals whatever. The sup-
ply of foreign wheat consists of moderate quantities of
Atneriosn, Prussian, Mediterranean, and Portuguese.
Flour moderate, nearly all American. One cargo of
Egyptian barley. Oats much smaller than for some
time past—Russian sod Prussian only.
The wheat trade to-day nominally the some as on Monday,
both English and foreign. No sales of any consequence to
"Miley trade dull, and without change from Monday'e
slight decline.
Flour as dull as wheat. The Liverpool market yesterday
rather Arm.

Oats slow, at last Monday's quotations, buyers not °pas-
ting to any extent.
Beans and peas rather cheaper than lest week. Linseed,
messed, and clover wed, not much doing today.
FLOATING CABOOINL—Trade not active ; value rather less
for maize.

AXATRUR BANDA OF TEI METROPOLITAN PoLit L.
—lt having come to the knowledge of the Council of the
Royal Horticultural Society that the members of the force
bad formed leveret bands among themselves, and that the
more advanced who were able to play together now num-
bered sixty, they communicated with Sir Richard Mayne,
offering them an opportunity of appearing at the prome-
nades of the society in the Finley., South Kensington. Sir
Richard has granted permission in the following terms,
via:—" I have to acquaint you that I have allowed ar-
rangements to be made by the superintendents of the G and
H divisions for the amateur bands of those divisions attend-
ing at the Royal Horticultural Gardens on Saturday, the
29th inst., from 4to 7 o'clock. p.m., as 1 understand that
time is considered suitable to the authorities of the gardens.
It is right that I should make it known that the performers
are all amateurs belonging to the respective divisions. The
bands have not been long formed, and the men have only
such time for practising as they can spare from their regular
hours of duty. I hope, with the doe allowance that
should be made, the music will be agreeable to the company
in the gardens, and the public performance on this occasion
give encouragement to the bands." On the 29th Ind ,
therefore, the fellows of the society and the public (the 29th
being a day when admission is to be had by payment) will
have an opportunity of judging of the progress made by the
police themselves in this art.
FIRLD-LANR RAOORD SCHOOL. —A number of lads
attending the above sehool laving impressed a desire to get
into the Royal Navy, application was made to the motor
authorities, who kindly acceded to the lads' request, and
last Saturday a number of Eno intelligent boys, on the re-
commendation of Mr. Fraser, their schoolmaster, were re-
ceived into the service. There are still upwards of 30 lads,
all belonging to the neighbourhood of the schools, and who
attend either the day or evening classes, waiting for an
order for them to be received.
