GENERAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, &c.

DonsTE.—Taz WEATHEN AND Cll.ol,B.—The weather is now all that
can be desired, and the crops have in general a healthy appearance.
The hay crop is much improved by the genial showers of last month,
and promises to be abundant. The potatoes look well, but little can
be said of them yet. _ _

At the Kilmiihael market last week prices were anprecedentedly
high for all kinds of stock. Dumbarton Carman fair took place on
Wednesday, and prices, although lower than those atlmichael,
were high for first-class cattle, a lot of Colonsay stots having cold at
£l4 14s. The number of Highland cattle was rather under the
average. There was a good number of .mitch cows on the ground,
and first-class beasts made a ready sale at high prices. The supply of
horses was very limited, and few sales. The markies, in the forenoon
was rather a dull one.—North British Daily Mail.

HERRING Frsumo.—During the last week there was a good fishing
at all the stations in the Lewis. There are now 530 boatsemployed at
the different stations, 3 0 of which are engaged at the Stornoway
fishing's, The largest catch by the latter boats was on ruesday, the
26th ult., when the 300 took an average of 10 cram (about 7,00) fish)
each. The take has not been general, some of the boats having
caught above 100 crane, while others have not reached 10. The
average catch for the season is 25 cram. The 'steamer Clansman,
which arrived here on Wednesday, had 1,100 barrels and boxes on
board, 80 of which were landed at Greenock. The fish were of
excellent quality. Fresh herrings were selling yesterday at 21d each.

RESULTS OF STALL-FEEDING CATTLE.—A veterinary survon of
our acquaintance, confirms our statements, and asserts that there is a
marked constitutional change for the worse in the cattle which ate
now bred. He finds that, though improved in firm, they are less
vigorous tl:an they were: twenty yea, s ago, have a distinct hereditary
tendency to diseases of the respiratory organs, b, come more easily
affected by the depressing influe•.c.s of cold and wet, and cannot bear
depletion and purging when ill, as their progenitors used. The dis-
eases which he is now called upon to treat are of a lower tyye, and
not so miscellaneous as they were. Those of the alimentary organs
and of the brain do not prevail so much. He now not uncommonly
meets with cancer, especially of the tongue, parotid gland, and of the
upper maxillary bones after bones.—Medical Times.

THE IRON AND COAL THAD EL—The Wolverhampton Chronicle
says:—The demand for first class iron is brisk, but inferior sorts are
not in gre t request. The inquiry for ra;ls is increasing, and the
demand for bars and plates is good. The money market continues
tight, and there does not seem at present any disposition to reduce
the rate of discount, which circumstance operates rather unfavour-
ably upon the trade. The reduction of the Amer:can 'ariff which
comes into operation in July next. has not led to any very ncreased
demand for that country. It is the oph,lon of some that as the iron
trade in America Is ra;ddly developing itself, and the facilities for the
conveyance of ihe materials and transmission of the metal to the
various parts of the country It -s, the Americans may
gradually reduce their tariff without rendering themselves liable to a
greater comparative competition. A trial was made at Lord Ward's
new mills and forges, at the Round Oak (which works will soon be in
operation), of some puddle bars, produced front hls lordship's pig iron,
made at the Lentil FarnacA, which are contiguous to the new works,
and the result has been highly satisfactory. The iron produced has
been severely tested, and for toughness and fibre cannot be surpassed.
Good mine iron is advancing a little in price. and eagerly sought after.
The coal trade, considering the time of year, is brisk, an •1 our last
quotations firmly maintained.

- The anspiciotis weather with which the country has lately been
blessed has contributed in a great measure to make up for the disad-
vantages of an unusually late seed time. The crops everywhere look
most luxuriant, and the rapid growth and exuberance of vegetation.
which have been experienced within the past week, are unprecedented
in these latitudes. New potatoes, grown in the open air, have been in $
the market for some time; the crop of the national esculent promises
to be abundant. Wheat, too, looks remarkably well ; and the flax
crop is all that could be desired.—lrish Paper.
