MURDE R. NO MURDER !

As a jury that does its duty, and calls a murder a
murder, is put into a very invidious situation, it is im-
possible to find fault with the twelve men who, in face
of the summing-up, acquitted Thomas Bare of murder
and found him guilty of the infinitely lesser offence of
manslaughter. Of the verdict itself, however, we can
have but ono opinion, for we can have but one
opinion, of the crime. The man had a long-standing
quarrel with the poor creature who was so unfor-
tunate as to be his wife ; she had fled from his
presence, for reasons which the sequel has proved not
to be groundless, and which are not rendered less valid
by the circumstance that it is no longer accounted
murder for a man to hunt down and kill his wife ; he
had declared that " revenge was sweet," that he would
have his revenge at any cost, and did not care how far
he had to go for it ; he had set spies and laid a trap
to discover the refuge of his intended victim ; he had
purchased a flat file and afterwards, very wisely
for his purpose, changed it for a triangular
file, a much stronger weapon. This he sharpened—a
work of no common difficulty—and hid about
him. Having made his way by a stratagem into his
wife's apartment, after a brief altercation he inflicted
sixteen wounds on her face and the front part of her
body, breaking one of her ribs, and severing the pul-
monies artery. He did his work effectually, for the
woman died on the spot, and, on being informed of that
fact, he expressed no regret for it; the only approach to
proper feeling being an admission—which the Jury have
done their best to neutralise—that be deserved to be
hung for what be had done. Now, if there be such a
crime as murder at all, this is murder, and murder, as it
seems to us, of no common atrocity. The situation of a
helpless woman tied to a surly and vindictive brute is
bad enough as it is, but when she is obliged to fly for her
life, to hide herself under a strange name, and to know
that he is using all diligence to find her out, and that
the bloodhounds are already on the track, she be-
comes an object of they profoundest commiseration, for
greater wretchedness can hardly be imagined. This
was the position of Louisa Bare; and while in this
position the terrors that had embittered her existence
were realized by the sudden apparition of the murderer
bursting into her apartment, just saying enough to point
his revenge, and stretching her a corpse on the floor,
pierced by sixteen gaping wounds. If this is only man-
slaughter, what constitutes murder? As the woman who
killed her child the other day, and was found guilty of
murder, has been respited for a week, and will probably
be reprieved, we cannot complain of an inequality in that
case. But it is evident that there can no longer be mur-
der, or at least there need no longer be murder,
so far as wives are concerned. A man has only to
take a glass of hot brandy-and-water, to abuse his wife,
to provoke a reply, and then out with his dagger, and
finish the business. When it is done he may say what he
likes, abuse his wife's memory, confess himself a sinner,
and own to a certain quickness of temper. There is one
thing that he may always remember with comfort, and
that is, that he will be tried by a jury of husbands.
If the punishment of death were wholly abolished, we
should at least be spared the sense of inequality. But,
with such horrid crimes as that under review punished
with the lesser penalty, there is scarcely an imaginable
case in which we shall not seem to be exceeding our
own standard, if we inflict the extreme penalty. The men
who murdered, or tried to murder, Mr. Eastwood the
other day had an altercation with him, and had, as they
imagined, reason to be greatly incensed with him. In the
heat of the altercation, while their voices were still loud,
they struck him down, not with a dagger
laboriously sharpened for the purpose, but with
a roadside stone, and, instead of inflicting six-
teen serious wounds, they did not inflict one fatal blow.
Moreover, Mr. Eastwood was a landlord's agent,
not a wife. Now, if Thomas Bare is to be pitied and
spared, why are the mon who stoned Mr. Eastwood and
throw him into a hole to be objects of unqualified con-
demnation and abhorrence? It looks like a clashing of
standards. In Ireland they kill landlords, and in Eng-
land they kill wives and children; we in England think
it very shocking indeed to settle landlords' arrears in
that summary manner, and in Ireland they are probably
disposed to criticise the standard of conjugal or parental
duty adopted by English juries. But if a rule is good
fur anything it is universal in its application. If murder
is to be punished with death, then bang murderers of
wives and children as well as of landlords; if capital pu-
nishmentis no longer to disturb our domestic relations,
then don't apply it to the relations of landlord and tenant.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A
CONFIDENTIAL TRAVELLER.
At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday (Friday),
George Johnston, a confidential traveller and collector,
in the employment of the respectable firm of Tyson and
Richmond, soap. manufacturers, Black stock. street, Liver-
pool, was brought before Mr. Mansfield, charged with
embezzling various sums of money, amounting altogether
to 7291., the property of his employers.
The case was heard in the magistrate's private room,
but the facts, we are assured, were as follow:—
Mr. Joseph Jones, the prosecutor's cashier, deposed
that the prisoner had been in the service of Messrs.
Tyson and Richmond for about two years; his duties
were to solicit orders and collect accounts. He coald
at any time go to the ledger, copy out what accounts
he thought proper, and collect them; but it was
his duty immediately to hand over the money
to witness. On the 12th of December the prisoner
absented himself, and suspicion becoming excited cir-
culars were issued in the following week, and sent to the
various customers, desiring them not to pay any money
to the prisoner. It was then ascertained that the sum
of 1001. had been received by the prisoner from Mr.
Lupton, tallow-chandler, of Marylebone, on behalf of
his employers, and never accounted for. Other sums had
also been received from Mr. Harrison, grocer, of Birken-
head ; Mr. Syers, of Ranelagh-street; and others, none
of which had been accounted for, and amounting alto-
gether to upwards of 700/.
Constable Murphy, of the detective force, deposed to
tracing the prisoner to Belfast, where he took him into
custody. Upon his apprehension a portion of the money
embezzled was found upon the prisoner, and upon being
told that he was charged with embezzling 7501., and
asked where the remainder was, Johnston replied that
he did not think it was so much, but admitted that he had
carried on the system nearly from the commencement of
his employment by the prosecutors.
Messrs. Harrison, Lupton, and Syers having respec-
tively proved the payment of money to the prisoner on
his employers' account, ho was fully committed to take
his trial at the next assizes.

REFORM ix the CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT.
On Friday a deputation of Liverpool merchants had
an,interview with Lord John Russell, at the Trea-
sury, for the purpose of representing to his Lordship
the necessity for an improved administration of the
Customs department of the Government. The depu-
tation was introduced to the Premier by Mr. Card-
well, ALP. for Liverpool, and among its members
were Mr. Littledale (mayor of Liverpool), Mr-
Hornby, Mr Turner (chairman of the Liverpool
Dock Committee), Mr. Shand, and about half-a-
dozen other gentlemen of influence connected with
the trade of Liverpool.

retarding. and. clogging the operations of commerce,
without yielding any countervailing advantage, or
any. additional. security to the revenue. Indeed, he
might mention that, solely owing to the tedious de-
lays of the Custom-house, the transit trade of the port
of Liverpool was threatened with extinction. The
deputation wished, therefore, respectfully to suggest
to his Lordship that if a local board was BP-
pointed at Liverpool, having a jurisdiction in minor
cases which, although often of a very trifling signifi'
eance, had nevertheless at present to go through all
the formality of a reference to the central board in

London, great advantage to the merchant would re-
sult from such an alteration. They would also re-
commend the selection of a gentleman of practical
experience in commercial affairs to co-operate with
the other commissioners composing the Board of Cus-
toms ; and their anxious desire, in fact, was to see the
present antiquated and vicious system undergo such
a thorough and comprehensive revision as would in-
sure its adaptation to the altered position of the com-
merce of the country.
Mr. TURNER and one or two other gentlemen
having addressed his Lordship in confirmation of Mr.
Hornby's remarks,
Lord Jour( RUSSELL said he could promise the gen-
tlemen of the deputation that the subject which they
had brought before his attention should be taken into
careful consideration, with the view of ascertaining
whether any changes might not be effected caculated
to render the Board of Customs more in accord-
ance with the wants of the country. The sub-
ject should be generally inquired into, but
with regard to the suggestion that some gen-
tleman of high stuffing in the commercial world
should be chosen a member of the Board of Customs,
he was afraid there would be some difficulty in car-
rying out that recommendation, because he thought
very few merchants of the requisite character would
be found willing to abandon their present avocation
for so small an inducement as the comparatively paltry
enjoyed by a Commissioner of Customs.

a merchant of the class to whom
the salary would really be an object, was not likely to

rance that the subject brought before him by the de-
putation should receive serious consideration.
The interview then terminated.

opo passingy o f throughm my
sister-in-law, when we accidentally met a gentleman
named Hart, well known to my family, and of whom, as
he had just returned from New York, I was anxious to
make inquiries about one of whom is settled there. We
had not been long
in conversation when the defendant
came up and made an observation to Mr. Hart which
implied that he might take indecent liberties with me,
but neither
of us liked to take any notice of the often-
sive remark, and I and my sister-in-law, Mrs. Myers,
were about to go home, when the defendant followed
up his previous insult by making a disgusting noise
with his mouth
at us as we passed him. We had done
nothing whatever to cause his interference with us,
and, though naturally indignant at the insult I had re-
ceived, I did not then report him; but on passing through
the same street again on Christmas-night, with my sis-
ter-in-law and a young lady named Phillips, the daughter
of a neighbour, the defendant again came up to us, and
asked if we were not the ladies who had insulted him a
few evenings before? I then complained of his insulting
,
me, and expressed my regret that I had not made a re-
port of him at the station, upon which the defendant,
with apparent contrition, asked us what we would have
him do? I told him nothing
but make an apology and
go about his business, upon
which he bogged our pardons
for the annoyance he had caused us, and we were walk-
ing along perfectly satisfied, when my sister-in-law cau•
tioued him to be more careful whom he so insulted in
future, as she was both a married woman and the mother
of six children. " Married!" said the:defendant, bursting
out into a coarse laugh, 44 why, don't I know you, and
haven't I taken you home drunk many times?', I then
became so exasperated at his infamous conduct
that I told him 1 would at once report him, and was
hastening on for that purpose, when the defendant ran
after me, seized me roughly by the arm, said I should
not go that way, or if I did he would lock me up for
being drunk about the streets, and dragged use along
for several yards just like a drunken woman, when he
relaxed his hold of me, and I immediately went to the
station and lodged a formal complaint of his gross mis-
conduct against him. The complainant most earnestly
declared that neither she nor her friends had had any-
thing to drink upon either of the evenings they had
been so insulted, and that all of them were perfectly
sober.
Mrs. Placebo Myers, sister-in-law of the last witness,
and wife of a general dealer in the same neighbourhood,
gave a precisely similar account of the manner in which
the former had been treated, and in describing the way
in which she herself had been insulted, stated that the
defendant not only declared that ho had taken her
home drunk upon several occasions, which was totally
false, but called her a disorderly character, and that
upon her telling him how closely she was to her home,
he loudly exclaimed, " Home, indeed! why I could
have gone home with you myself many a eight."
Miss Abigail Phillips, a milliner, confirmed both the
last witnesses in identical terms, with the addition that,
upon the second complainant telling the officer she was
a married woman, he roughly seized her also by the
arm, jeeringly laughed at them, and told them he never
saw such married women; he then threatened to luck up
the first complainant upon the charge of being drunk
and disorderly. and forcibly pushed her on for four or
five yards. Upon seeing such violence witness indig-

tered the station and complained of the officer 220, who,
he said, was so drunk as to be unfit to take care of his

spectable women. The e defendant returned to the sta-
tion shortly after, and was at that time perfectly sober.
Mrs. Barnett, accompanied by her sister-in-law, had pre-
viously come to the station to complain of having been
insulted both then and on a previous evening, and he
must also state that the complainants were likewise per-
fectly sober, though very much excited. The defendant
had only been a short time attached to that division,
having been draughted into it at the close of the Exhi-
bition; but he had always borne a very good character
in the force, no reports whatever caving been made
against him, and he was generally a steady well-con-
ducted officer.
Egerton, the acting sergeant at the station, also de-
posed to the defendant's sobriety on the night in (Peti-
tion.
In answer to the charge, the defendant stated that
both women were intoxicated at the time referred to,
to, and positively denied that he had conducted himself
towards them in the manner they had describe& but ac-
knowledged that he had no witnesses to call to confirm
his statement; and
Mr. HAMMILL, after severely commenting upon his
conduct, which he characterived as so gross a violation
of his duty as not to be for a moment tolerated, and to
call for the strongest
condemnation at once sentenced
him to undergo a month's imprisonment in the House of
Correction.

at the door, which Was shut, when a voice from within
inquired who was there. He replied " Police," and was
admitted, in company with another constable, 255 B. He
found four or five persons in front of the bar engaged
in conversation, but they had no spirits or liquor of any
sort before them. In the parlour he found six or seven

Tin CANCER HOSPITAL, CANON-ROW, WESTMIN-
sTEs.—The generous offer of Mrs. Wobridge, of Reading, to
contribute fifty guineas to the above hospital, before the end
of the ensuing month of March, has bean already re-

doubt the entire sum will be realised ere the time expires.
Of all the maladies which human flesh is subject to, none is
more deserving the sympathy of the affluent public than
cancer.

FATAL STAB BY A BAILIFF'S FoLLowzi.—Four
men, who were employed by the bailiffs of the Liverpool
County Court, were on New Year's Day engaged in the levy-
ing of a distress in Collingwood-street. On arriving with
their horse and cart in Great Homer-street, the horse refused
to draw; at that moment two nightmen, named Kinks and
Clarke, emerged from a spirit vault, and the occasion drew
.
forth some smart chaffing, in which the horse was invidi-
ously contrasted with the officers, as to the part he bore m
the execution. One of the bailiff's men, named Gallagher,
commenced a fight, which soon became general. The night-
men's implements were taken from them, and Gallagher, who
had seized a fork, made a rush with It at Rinks, and stabbed
him in the abdomen in so frightful a manner that the poor
fellow's bowels protruded. Surgical assistance was immedi-
ately procured, but the injury terminated fatally.

COMMERCIAL DOCKS.
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of this company was held
on Friday at the offices in Fenchurch-street, for con-
sidering certain new works to be undertaken by the
company in consequence of the increase of its business.
Robert Carter, Esq., took the chair.
Mr. SMYTHERS, the secretary, read the following re-
port:—
" Your directors have the pleasure of stating that the
Bill which they were authorised by the court of pro-
prietors of the 20th December, 1850, to introduce into
Parliament, received the Royal Assent on the 3d July

1811.' In pursuance of the authority of the court of
proprietors of the 10th January, 1851, and of the pro-
visions of the above-named Act, your directors paid the
purchase money of 40,0001. as agreed for the East Coun-
try Dock, and obtained a conveyance and possession of
the premises on the ith November last. The deal yards,
&c., in that dock, are entirely filled with goods, and the
warehouses fairly occupied, paying a present rental
which yields a good rate of interest on the purchase
money. It has been the policy of the directors for
many years past to keep up the premises in
a high state of efficiency, au average amount
of about 5,0001. per annum having been de-
voted to that object, out of the earnings of
the company, during the last fifteen years; and the whole
of the premises are now in so perfect a state of repair
that but little expenditure' will be required upon them
for some years to come, except for the purpose of afford-
ing additional facilities to, and saving expense in, the
transaction of business iu the docks. Your directors
have anxiously and carefully investigated the plans and
estimates prepared by their engineers, Messrs. Walker
and Burges, for rendering the recently acquired pre-
mises available for the extended scale of business which

they contemplate; and they have also inquired with equal
care into the probable increase of revenue, to compensate
for the proposed additional outlay; and they now pro-
ceed to communicate to you the conclusions at which
they havo arrived. The plans proposed for present
adoption comprise an enlarged entrance from the river
into the East Country dock, suitable for ships of the
largest tonnage; the extension of that dock, now contain-
ing only about two acres, to a deep-water deck of six
acres; a cut or communication from the same to the Com-
mercial Dock ; and a railway extending from the Deptford
branch of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway
into the dock, along the quays, and to the warehouses,
as may bo found desirable. The estimates for executing
these works, including the necessary purchases of land,
and the alteration of roads and sewers, amount to
132,000; add for purchase of East Country Dock,
40,0001.; Parliamentary expenses and contingencies,
8,0001.; making a total expenditure of 180,0001. Of
this sum, as explained in the directors' report to the
ordinary general court of proprietors, 26,010/. is pro-
posed to be provided oat of the company's rest; and if
the proprietors shall approve of that recommendation,
there will remain the sum of 154,0001. to be raised for
the completion of the works. Your directors have en-
tered into communication with the directors of the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com-
pany, who are so thoroughly convinced that a con-
nexion with the Commercial Docks would add ma-

tonally to the traffic along their line, that they have
not only agreed to provide locomotive power and trucks
for the conveyance of goods to and from the docks at
the same charge to the public as from their own wharf
at Deptford, but also to allow to this company a pro-
portion of their charges for carriage. it is calculated
that the receipts from this source from the
wharfage, &c., of goods passing to and from
the Docks along the South Coast and South-Eastern
lines of railway—from the wood imported in large
ships, now lust to the docks in consequence of the defi-
ciency of depth of water at the entrance lock—from the
warehousing and other charges ou goods other than
those now brought into the docks, but which will be
attracted to them by tho superior facilities, and the
saving in expense, which they will afford to the public—
and from the additional business connexion acquired
with the East Country Dock—together with the saving
of expense in lighterage and management, will produce
an ample return upon the proposed outlay, by which the
future dividends of the proprietors will be increased.
Your directors, therefore, do not hesitate to recommend
that this court do give them full authority to carry out
the improvements suggested by Messrs. Walker and
Burgess; whereby also a security will be given to the
premises, from the possession of two entrances, which
has long been desired. In considering the most eligible
mode of raising the additional capital required, your
directors have been desirous that the advantages from
the new works should be confined as much as
possible to the present proprietors, and they pro-
pose to offer them a stock at par, to be entitled
to a preference dividend in perpetuity, at the
rate of tour per cent. per annum, and to participate with
the old stock in the increased dividends which are anti-
cipated; and in the event of the whole amount required
not being taken up by the present proprietors, your
directors recommend that they should be authorised
either to dispose of the remainder to the public, or to
borrow a sufficient amount to make up the total sum
required, on mortgage or debentures, or otherwise, as
they may deem most to the interest of the present pro-
prietors.
The CILURMA.N moved the adoption of the report,
which led to a short discussion, in which Mr. Josiah
Wilson raised some objections to the railway portion of
the scheme, which he considered would be unprofitable
to the company.
Mr. Gould, Mr. Dawson, the Chairman, and other di-
rectors persisted in looking upon the railway as likely to
bring great benefits to the docks.
The report was then adopted, and the directors were
authorised to take measures for raising the necessary
capital.
'rho half-yearly meeting of the Commercial Dock
Company was then held; Robert Carter, Esq., took the
chair. _ _

The report of the directors was ready, from which we
make the following extracts:—
" Tho wood business at the docks during the past
year has been more extensive than at any former period,
the tonnage of wood-laden ships entering the docks in
1851 having been 180,414, against 130,150 tons in 1850;
139,652 tons in 1849, and 132,406 tons in 1848. The
stock of wood goods on the premises has been largo
throughout the season, and at present exceeds that on
hand at the close of any previous year. Notwithstand-
ing tho reduction made in the charges on wood goods in
the early part of 1851, your directors have reason to
believe that the net profit in this department of the com-
pany's business will surpass that of 1850, while the re-
ceipts for dock dues on ships will be considerably in-
creased. The company's warehouses have been only
partially occupied during the past year, in consequence
of foreign corn imported having generally been taken
from the ship for immediate consumption. The stock
in granary is now less than at the corresponding
period of last year, and there will be some falling
off in the company's profit under this head. Your
directors recommend that a dividend for the half-year
income-tax),
upon declared, of 21. per cont. (free from
upon the capital stock of the company, and that the
same be payable at this office on and after Monday, the
26th inst., between the hours of 11 and 3—Fridays
Saturdays excepted. It was stated to the proprietors, in
the directors' reports of the 14th June, 18
14th January, 1843, that they had erected two new ware-
houses, with the intention of appropriating their earn-
ings for rent to the gradual extinction of their cost. This
course has been pursued to the present time; and while
the general revenue has been considerably benefited by
the profits on receiving and delivering goods into and
from these warehouses, the net rent received thereon has
amounted to 10,243/.
,14s. I Id., by which the original
cost of 12,5021. 13s. Bd. has been reduced to 2,2581. 18s.
9d., at which sum these warehouses stand in the com-
pany's books. Your directors have considered it advis-
able, under present circumstances, to anticipate the
period at which this balance would be paid off, under the
original arrangement, and have directed the above sum
to be charged to premises account,"
The report was adopted, and a dividend of 2 per cent.
for the half year was agreed to, payable on and after the
26th instant,
A cordial vote of thanks was then passed to the chair-
man, deputy-chairman, and directors of the company for
their services during the past year.—Adjourned.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 10.—The trade throughout the
701 b
brn .31 30 —32 0
week has continued to maintain a very firm aspect. In
flour business has been checked by the high pretensions
of holders, but at a further advance of 6d per sack sales
to a tolerably fair extent wore effected. Other articles
sold more freely at previous rates. With the exception
of about 8,000 loads of oatmeal from Ireland, the im-
ports thence and coastwise into Liverpool and Runcorn
aro this week scanty. From abroad the arrivals of wheat
and beans are to a liberal amount, but only moderate of
Hour. At our market this morning there was only a
limited business passing in any article. Nevertheless,
wheat was
steady atthethceurarmenecnydniofenthtiosbdtanyineBdO'Lldnuigrihntg.
Flour firmly supported
the week, and we raise our quotations accordingly. In
oats or oatmeal no change was observable.
WORCESTER, JAN. lo.—Good English white wheat,
163 'per bag; and red, 15s per bag. Malting barley,
3$ 4d to 3o 6d per bushel; and distilling qualities, 3s to

33 6d to 33 8d per bushel. There was a good supply of
grain at Kidderminster market on Thursday, but busi-
ness was dull at a general advance of Is per quarter
upon last week's rates. Beans and peas, however, barely
maintained the currencies of last week. Wo cannot
quote tuiy alteration in tho value of ()ate.

Stourbridge market, on Friday, was well attended,
and transactions in wheat were at an improvement of 10
per quarter on last week's rates. Barley also found pur-
chasers at an advance of is per quarter. Peas also
realized rather more money. In oats and peas the
demand was limited at about the rates of this day
se'neight.
At Stratford-on-Avon new market, on Friday, priceS
ranged higher, with an animated trade. Best samples of
English wheat brought 16s per bag for white, and 150
for red descriptions. Barley advanced fully is per
quarter, and even more for malting qualities. Average
price, 27s per quarter. Very little doing in oats, but
prices higher where sales were made. Old beans;
brought 123 6d to 135 6d per bag; and new (English),
from 105 to 1 Is 6d per bag.
Wolverhampton market, this week, was held for the
first time in the New Corn Exchange. English wheat
met a ready sale at en advance of 6d per bag. English
white wheat, 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 621 b; red, 5s to 5s 2d.
Malting barley was about is per quarter higher, but the,
sale was dull. Other barleys at stationary rates. 010
English beans, 12s 6d to 13s 601 per ten score; new, ill
6d; and new French at about the same price. English
oats are without change in value; price, 21s to 22s per
3121 b. Irish, 19s to 20s.
GLASGOW CATTLE MAKET, JAN. B.—At our market
to-day the numbers were—oxen 905; sheep 2,115;
Owing to the large supply of both oxen and sheep sale',
were very slowly:-.ffectcd. Beet ox beef 455, current 420
to 435, inferior 34s to 40s. Top price of mutton 60;
current 4id to sd, inferior 3id to 4d. At the close 0'

not effected.

CORK, JAN. 9.
We have not any arrivals from abroad during tlll/
',°
week, and our receipts of home grain are small, °,
supply for the week amounting to—wheat, 324 brls, 11,1
17s to 21s 8d per brl; oats, 3,530 brls, at 9s to 103 6`,'
per brl; barley, 1,281 brls, at les 6d to 12s 3d per he':
Wheat is 6d dearer on the week. Barley is firm, bat
oats are 2d per barrel lower. In foreign wheat a al;
siderable amount of business has been done, and lee;
week's prices have not only been readily obtained, hlt;
in some instances rather higher rates have been realiseu'
At all events holders are very firm, and demand higher
prices, which they are very confident they will shell
obtain. We quote the market brisk with an upieera
tendency. Barley continues very firm, and the derail°,
brisk. Prime samples are scarce, as indeed they his/
been throughout the season. Oats continue very 111
and the business passing in them is altogether notaiDe
The stocks here, however, are by no means large9!so
that with any little stir at the English side we n3IP,
naturally look for an improvement here. We have
steady consumptwa trade in flour, but, though bight
terms are looked for, we cannot quote any actual advsela;
in prices. The stocks of the article in factor's band
are very light, and barely sufficient for the requiremet:
of the market, so that no speculative sales can be on
Coarse flour continues in brisk demand. Indian eclo
still meets a very dull sale, and we look upon this grel 5
as having given way a little in value, say to the e%tel3,
of 2s 6d per ton on the week. Wo quote the extrele
value of Galata 61 12s 6d per ton.
