STATE OF TRADE.

CARDIFF/ April 13.—The coal trade at the docks con•.
tinues extremely brisk, and the expedition with which the
work is done prevents many cases of demurrage. The steam
coal proprietors are well supplied with orders, and in house
qualities there is also a good demand. The Welsh v. North
Country coal question is being strongly discussed. In iron
the market remains extremely firm at last week's quotations.
Freights are high. _ _

DUNDEE, 12th.—Flax and tow continue in limited re-
quest, but prices are unchanged. Fine and medium jute are
in bettor demand, but common is still dull. The better
qualities have rather improved in value, but common re-
mains as before. The inquiry for all descriptions of yarns,
flax, tow, and jute, bufespecially the latter, was very active
to-day at steady prices. Orders for linens, both coarse and
flue qualities, come forward regularly, and to an extent
quite equal to the production, which keeps manufacturers
constantly foresold. Prices of all fabrics are very firm, but
no advance can be quoted since last market day.

LEicEstsu, 13th.—Some branches of the -hosiery trade
aro still active, and there is a tolerable business doing in the
warehouses. Business in the country districts continues
quiet. Yarns are realising high rates with a fair market,
and spinners are 601 working for the most part to order. 11l
wools there is no important change. There is a fair con.
sumptive demand for material.

NOTTINGHAM, 13th.—The cotton lace trade is more quiet
than it was last week. The demand for Mechlin quilling'
has fallen off, and the plain trade generally is quiet. Cotton,
fancy goods also do not sell freely. Silk Mechlins are still
in brisk demand, and there is a fair amount of business
doing in silk quillings. Black laces and narrow edgings
meet very little inquiry. There have not been many buyers
in the market during the past few days, and purchases are
only of a limited character, The hosiery trade is quiet. There
have been several failures in the town recently, which have
created an uneasy feeling. Yarns hold firm, and have an
upward tendency.

HEALTH OF SCOTLAND.—.The mortality in the
eight principal towns of
Glasgow and Aberdeen. Ifs
Scotland was estnmely
high in the month of March. The Registrar-General re-
ports an increase of typhus in
observes that when typhus appears as an epidemic in Scot-
land it,' generally breaks out among the low Irish, and the
inhabitants of Glasgow should take warning in time and
make efforts to arrest the pestilence. Wre than a sixth of
all the deaths in Aberdeen in the month of March were
caused by typhus. It scorns to be almost endemic there.
Otherwise the town is one of the healthiest in Scotland, its
liability to typhus being almost its sole peculiarity, in so far
as diseases are concerned. The meteomlogioalreturns show
that March was a very cold and damp month. The mean
temperature was low be, and that of any March in the pre-
ceding eight years—that is, since the constitution of the
Register-office. This low temperature was rather from the
absence of warm days than any excessive rigour of the
nights. The barometer was steadily low, the humidity of
the air was remarkable, and the depth of rain fallen sensibly
above the mean.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed for the purpose of im-
porting into the English Market, from the southern parts
of Europe and elsewhere, a supply of healthy cattle, for
which the rapidly
_increasing poyulationof this country,
and the naturally great consumption of animal food, present
a profitable field for a largely increased supply.
The prevailing mortality amongst cattle in this country,
from pleuro-pneumonia or lung disease, and other distem-
pers (attributable, amongst other things, to inefficient
means of transport), has long engaged the attention of
scientific men, and their reports point to the necessity of
obtaining increased supplies from foreign countries, free
from the prevalent diseases. Practical men will be employed
by this Company to select and purchase cattle in:suitable
localities. In order to avoid the great risk hitherto known to
ex;st from contact with unwholesome carriages, railway
trucks of an improved construction will be retained for the
Company s sole use from the ports of debarkation, and well
organised depots, with pasturage, &c , will be provided for
the reception of the Company's stock.
To dairymen this Company holds out great advantages, by
importing Spanish, Jersey and other cows, which have an
established reputation as good dairy stock. The grazier will
also be benefited by the importation of young and well-con-
ditioned animals at a moderate cost; and to the consumer
the object of this Comi.any will be of the highest import-
ance, as it secures a supply of foreign cattle tree from dis-
ease attributable to a want of proper ventilation and stow-
age on shipboard.
From the statistical returns, it appears that in the month
of December, 1863 (the worst month in the year), there were
imparted into London alone—
Oxen
Calves
Sheep
pigs
Horses

Total

It will thus be seen that fully 1,000 head of Cattle are
daily imported into London from the Continent, proving
that the objects of this Company are based upon a great
existing commerce, and an increasing demand ; and from a
most moderate estimate it appears that a very large profit
may be confidently anticipated on the capital of the Com-
pany, after deducting the expenses of administration (a
detailed estimate may be inspected at the Temporary Offices
of the Company. It is well known that large fortunes have
been realised by Cattle Importers, even when their opera-
tions have been carried on with the present insufficient
means of transport, whereby a large portion of their stock
become unfit for the markets, and it may be fairly assumed
that a well organised undertaking, combining a good prac-
tical management and sufficient capital, will be attended
with most profitable results to the Shareholders.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Bankers,
Brokers, Solicitor, or the Secretary at the Temporary Offices
of the Company, where Prospectuses can also be obtained.
No application will be attended to unless accompanied by a
deposit of 10s. per Share.

BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.--Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the
greater is the credit which attaches to the originator.
BONNET'S SILKS are said to be incapable of identifica-
tion in England; but the fallacy of such an assertion is ex-
posfrd by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by

Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
