Since our last report, a fair average business has been
transacted in our market, at about previous rates. The
trade, for inferior produce, however, is far from active, at
the recent fall in the quotations; but for good and fino
samples the market is firm, and late prices are steadily sup•
ported. The supply of foreign hops on sale is but moderate.
Last week's import was 83 bales from Antwerp; 22 Bre-

WOOL.
The wool trade continues in an unsatisfactory state, both
as regards home-grown and colonial produce. In prices,
however, no increase of depression has been apparent, but
the small amount of business doing is at fully the late de-
cline in prices. English wool, since our last report, has
changed hands to a limited extent, at prices 3d per lb below
the highest rates current during the present year. In
colonial wool, by private contract, a very moderate business
has been transacted, at last week's currency. A public
sale of home-grown wool was held on Thursday last, and
the prices realised showed no material change from those
now ruling in the private contract market. The public sales
of colonial wool will commence at an early period nex:
month; the arrivals since the close of last auctions am nut
to about 60,000 bal s. The import into London last week
was-1,4'31 bales from Sydney, 1,200 from New Zealand,
and 301 from Smyrna.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals announce the death, in that
city, of Prince Waldemir of Anhalt, aged 67,
brother of the reigning Duke.

The Allona Mercury says :—Several geometrical
surveys have been made during the last few days at
Rendsburg, connected with the intended works of
the fortifications and the canal. The park of artil•
lery, composed of the cannon taken from the enemy,
and which forms the common property of the allies,
was said to have been sold to an Austrian specula.
tor, but we now learn that it was only the Austrian
portion that was sold, and that nothing has yet
been done with the Prussian part. Those guns
have no value except as old metal.

FRANCE.

" The recent visit of Lord Clarendon to Vienna,"
says the Pays," had for result the reduction of the
Austrian army. The Vienna Cabinet is said to
have consented to that measure on the formal
promise that England would induce the Italian
Government to adopt a similar proceeding." Oa
the other hand, the Fremdenblatt, of Vienna, pub-
lishes a letter from Turin which represents France
as acting in a similar sense. It says :—" King
Victor Emmanuel this week received from a French
officer, sent here expressly, an autograph letter from
the Emperor Napoleon. The King immediately sum-
moned a Cabinet Council. An hour after all the
Ministers being assembled, his Majesty, with theEm-
peror'a letter in his hand, said, "Gentlemen, Austria
disarming;i the order for reducing her army has
been given, and in Venetia alone 15,000 men quit
their regiments. The Emperor Napoleon is greatly
pleased at those pacific tendencies of Austria, and
desires to see us follow the good example so given,
and to introduce strict order in our finances.' A
long deliberation followed, and I can affirm that
the Cabinet was unanimously in favour of actiag
like Austria. In spite of a marked unwillingness
on the part of the King to reduce the army, his
Majesty was obliged to give directions to the Mi-
nisters of Finance and of War to concert together
for the purpose of fixing the amount cf the reduc-
tions that might be necessary, and to present to him
as soon as possible positive propositions on the
subject."

" Some provincial journals," says the Constitu.

tionnel, " have announced the formation of a high
commission charged to revise the organisation of
the administrative officials of the army. We are
able to affirm that the War Department had no
project of the kind in contemplation. Tne Europa
of Frankfort is not better informed as to the
extraordinary works which would, it 13,Ayg, cause

the marshals to meet much earlier than usual,
They are to be convoked for the ordinary period,
and will only have to occupy themselves, as i❑
former years, with the classification of the officers
proposed for promotion at the last general iaspee-

ion."

Ironmasters' Quarterly meeting.

DUDLEY, Saturday Evening.
The final meeting for the quarter of the iron-
masters of this district took place here this evening'
but the attendance was small, and no disposition
was manifested to do business. Scarcely a transac-
tion in finished iron was reported. A few contrtecte
for plates have been entered into since the meeting
at Birmingham, but it is generally admitted that
the quantity of iron sold during the week
hasibeete
unusually small, the ironmasters themselves evincing
no more eagerness to sell than consumers were to
enter into engagements. Most of the principal firms
have a moderate supply of orders, and for the pelt
month the trade will be quiet, 'as the export honeys
will avoid doing business as much as possible while
the money market remains in its present state.
The market for Staffordshire pig iron has not in
the slightest degree recovered, notwithstanding the
immense reduction in the make to the extent named
in the Sun of Thursday: The quotations are for
common pigs, £3 to £3 53. ; all mine, £3 1.05''
better class, £3 158.; for Shropshire iron (Lilieshell
make), hot blast, £4 ss. ; cold blast, £5.
The termination of the colliers' strike was spoken
of at this meeting as a certainty; after having
been out fifteen weeks the men see the hopeless-
ness of protracting a struggle which was commenced
without a cause, and has been continued undo
circumstances which have entailed upon themselves
and their famil!es almost as much of privation ne
human nature could endure. In that respect the
consequences of the strike have been bad enough'
but it is not unlikely that others will follow,hnvirf
an important effect upon the trade in South Ste°
fordshire. The long continuance of the strike has
driven the large consumers of coal to seek a suPPII
in distant districts. The various railway col"
panies have just now completed their arrangements
!or conveying coal into the district,and having once
satisfied themselves of the value of this traffic they
will not like to yield it. At this moment there le
some 10,000 tons of coal coming into South Stet"
fordshire daily ; this may be increased to 20,000
tons without difficulty, so that the price of fuel
will, in all probability, rule lower than it has
hitherto done, and the prospect of an advance 10
the colliers' wages, which might have taken Plt'en
as the iron trade improved, becomes by the strike
so much diminished. In other respects this has
been one of the most disastrous strikes that has
ever occurred in South Staffordshire ; it is to be
hoped the men will now see the folly of the course
they have pursued, and not again allow themselves
to be duped by those who, for their own purposes'
foster this antagonism between employer and enl°
ployed.
In connection with the series of meetings which
have now closed, it satisfactory to be able to state
that the usual quarter-day accounts have been
promptly paid.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign stock on sale here
to-day. Included in the supply of beasts was a large num-
ber of stores, and the general quality of the foreign stcck
was very middling. The trade was dull, on easier terms.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were somewhat in excess of Monday Jar, but the
general quality of the supply was by no means prime. For
good and prime Scots, crosses, &a., there was a steady de-
mand, at full prices ; otherwise the beef trade was dull, and
the quotations declined 2d per 81bs. The top quotation for
beef was 5s 4d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,900 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts
of England 1,000 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 31
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers.
There was an increased supply of sheep on sale, compared
with Monday last. Most breeds, however, were received
in but middling condition. Good and prime Downs and
half-breds moved off slowly, at barely last Monday's cur-
rency; but for all inferior breeds the trade was dull, at a
decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbe. The top figure for
mutton was 5s 61 per 81ba.

The supply of calves on sale was moderate, and the trade
was dull, at 4d beneath last Monday's prices, the top quota-
tion being 5s per 81bs.
Prime small pigs were firm in price, but for large hogs
the trade was dull, at barely late rates.

IV 0 OL:
The wool trade continues in an unsatisfactory state, both
as regards home-grown and colonial produce. In prices,
however, no increase of depression has been apparent, but
the small amount of business doing is at fully the late de-
cline in prices. English wool, since our last report, has
changed hands to a limited extent, at prices 3d per lb below
the highest rata current during the present year. In
colonial wool, by private contract, a very moderate business
has been transacted, at last week's currency. A public
sale of home-grown wool was held on Thursday last, and
ON prices realised showed no material change from those
now ruling in the private contract market. The public sales
of colonial wool will commence at an early period next
month ; the arrivals since the close of last auctions amount
to about 60,000 bal, s. The import into London last week
was-1,431 bales from Sydney, 1,200 from New Zealand,
and 301 from Smyrna.

SEEDS.

The transactions in seeds have beon far from numerous,
but no changes of importance have
place in the currencies.
Mustard seed ruled dull. The demand for linseed, rape-
seed,:and other seeds was inactive at late rates. Cakes were
in slow request, and a further reduction of 2s 6d to 5s per
ton took place in the quotations.

H HOP.

Since our last report, a fair average business has been
transacted in our market, at about previous rates. The
trade, for inferior produce, however, is far from active, at
the recent fall in the quotations; but for good and fine
samples the market is firm, and late prices are steadily sup-
ported. The supply of foreign hops on sale is but moderate.
Last week's import was 83 bales from Antwerp; 22 Bre-
men ; 24 Dunkirk ; 137 Hamburg ; 62 Rotterdam ; 31
Ostend ; 19 Boulogne ; and 159 pockets from Jersey.

portion that was sold, and that nothing has yet
been done with the Prussian part. Those guns

Ironmasters' Quarterly Meeting.

DUDLEY, Saturday Evening.
The final meeting for the quarter of the
li
masters of this district took place here this eveein.l
but the attendanc3 wes small, and no dispneitg
was manifested to do business. Scarcely a transal
tion in finished iron was reported. A few contrae
for plates have been entered into since the meetin
at Birmingham, but it is generally admitted tbi
the quantity of iron sold during the week hasib!e
unusually small, the ironmasters themselves evinele,
no more eagerness to sell than consumers were I
enter into engagements. Most of the principal fir°
have a moderate supply of orders, and for the nel
month the trade will be quiet, as the export beesi
will avoid doing business as much as possible Will
the money market remains in its present state.
The market for Staffordshire pig iron has not
the slightest degree recovered, notwithstanding t
immense reduction in the make to the extent nse3,
in The ,Sun of Thursday. The quotations are f,
common pigs, 13 to £3 ss. ; all mine, £3 106
better class, £3 15s. ; for Shropshire iron (Lilieeko
make), hot blast, £4 ss. ; cold blast, .£5.
The termination of the colliers' strike was spoke
of at this meeting as a certainty; after hay°
been out fifteen weeks the men see the hoPele°
ness of protracting a struggle which was commence
without a cause, and has been continued unui
circumstances which have entailed upon then:olli
and their families almost as much of privation ;
human nature could endure. In that respect ti
consequences of the strike have been bad ece°o;
but it is not unlikely that others will followfbel4
an important effect upon the trade in South otil
fordshire. The long continuance of the strike 11
driven the large consumers of coal to seek a WIPP.
in distant districts. The various railway CO"
panies have just now completed their arrangeolen
for conveying coal into the district,and having one
satisfied themselves of the value of this traffic the
will not like to yield it. At this moment there
some 10,000 tons of coal coming into South Sta
fordshire daily ; this may be increased to 20fu'nt
tons without difficulty, so that the price of hi
will, in all probability, rule lower than it 11
hitherto done, and the prospect of an advance I
the colliers' wages, which might have taken Pl!')1
as the iron trade improved, becomes by the WI
so much diminished. In other respects this
been one of the most disastrous strikes that
ever occurred in South Staffordshire; it is t°
hoped the men will now see the folly of the coats
they have pursued, and not again allow themsell'
to be duped by those who, for their own purpose
foster this antagonism between employer and ell
ployed.
In connection with the series of meetings V/11113
have now closed, it satisfactory to be able to staff
that the usual quarter-day accounts have I°6
promptly paid.

service to the public on many occasions, by calling
attention to several instances of maladministration
in nautical matters, and it was not likely
that so flagrant a case as that of the
.Royal
Sovereign would escape their notice. Sir JOHN
HAY remarked that Captain CoLES' plan had been
only too successful to please those in office, while
Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE said with truth that the
principle of the turret had proved so satisfactory
that Government could not discard it ; but what did
they do ? " They took a class of ship unfit for the
purpose, cut her down and converted her, and then
commissioned her by a most distinguished officer.
In three months the Royal S)vereiga was a pattern
ship for the British navy, and then she w,:.s ordered
to be paid off." Sir J. ELPHINSTONE could not
acquit the authorities on the score of ignorance,
for Admiral DACRES and the whole Channel
Fleet had had an opportunity of inspeetirg
her when Captain OSBORN visited Portland, and
no doubt, said the hon. member, the admiral blessed
his stars that the Royal Soverign was not an enemy.
But however convincing such practical evidence of
her success, it was easy to find an excuse for putting
so formidable a rival out of the way, and we appre-
hend that Lord CLARENCE PAGET will find his part
of the Parliamentary catechism not very easy. In
political matters the existing Administration did
not fare much better, and Mr. FITZGERALD was
very happy in exhibiting their deficiencies in the
three points on which they make their boast—
Peace, Retrenchment, and Reform. The banquet
which was given in honour of Sir JAMES ELPHIN-
STONE went off brilliantly, and was a most worthy
expression of public feeling towards a very able
and useful member. We need such guardians of
the public interest, and in no quarter is their
vigilance more needed than in those mysterious
regions where work is always going on, and money
being always spent, to very little practical purpose.
