LONDON MINING ►iARKET,

-MAY 14

East Wheal Russell shares exhibit renewed depression to-
day, having been dealt in at 91 to 9t. Tincroft are officially
marked in the Stock Exchange 4-1, ex div. There have
also'been transactions in the shares of the following British
mines : Lady Bertha, Hingston Downs, West Caradon,
Wheal Trelawney, and Providence. Cobre copper
shares have been dealt in at 38 to 381, General Mines (Nova
Scotia) at 221 and 22, Linares at 9, and United Mexican at
11. Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal
market : The position of business is very little changed.
Copper finds but few buyers, notwithstanding the reduction
on Tuesday of id per lb on manufactured, and £5 per ton on
raw; the Government, however, being in the market for 400
tons, imparts sonic confidence. Iron continues to rule flat,
but there is no change in general quotations. Tin is quiet
for all descriptions, and quotations for foreign are weaker in
Holland. Lead is buoyed up by a speculative feeling,with-
out much actual business. Spelter has become decidedly
firmer, and a considerable business has been done. Tin
plates are moving off but slowly. The Round Hill mine
has sold 35 tons lead ore at 14 5s 6d per ton.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET,

-MAY 14

Farmers wheat was in small supply, and 3s per quarter
advance on last Tuesday's rates. South country in better
demand, and 2s to 3s per quarter dearer. Foreign com-
paratively neglected, but full rates were asked. Flour
firmer, and reher more business doing. Barley quiet. Oats
held for an advance in price, but sales were not brisk.
Beans and peas sell in retail at the last prices.

DONCASTER CORN MARKET.—Msy 14

In consequence of having a very small supply of wheat,
the general tone of the market was considerably better, and
an advance of fully 6d to 9d, and in sonic instances Is per
three bushels, were readily obtained. In Barley there was
nothing doing for grinding sorts. A brisker•trade in oats
and beans.,

To SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.— A most profitable
article of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self-
cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders
and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are
invaluable wherever there is bay'. water. S. and Co. allow
a liberal discount on export and
.wholesale orders.
It is a well known maxim that "time is money"—the
terms are relative •so to save one is to save the other. We
save both time, and economise patience, and present good
tempers, when we have a good PEN—a bad one upsets pati-
ence and temper. Preserve all, then, by purchasing your
steel pens and other stationery, at E. T. Hall's whole-
sale
steel pen warehouse. 23, South John-street. John
Gillott's, Thomas Lowe's, G. W. Hughes, and other maker's

pens at is per gross. Good Pen Holders 2d per dozen. d
EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION,—There i 6
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful.
ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per-
fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of
and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &e. The
benefit of this article need not be dwet on. We have Peen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's,_ and the
glass that has been cemented by it is stronger inlthat part
than in any other. The article is very cheap, and:no.house
can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent fcir Its sale
in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E
