MARKETS.

LONDON CORN MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—AIthough the
excitement in the grain trade has been less intense to-day, there
has still been a considerabie amount of animation apparent, and
the late advance has been fully maintained, the tendency being
towards further improvement. Very few samples of English
wheat have been on sale, and the arrivals from abroad
have been limited. For all qualities the trade has
been very firm, at fully the late advance. The
supply of barley has been moderate. The demand has been steady
at full quotations. Malt has been quiet, on former terms. Oats
have been in request, at extreme currencies. Beans and peas
have commanded fully late quotations. Flour has been firm in
value and inquiry. Arrivals :—English and Scotch—wheat, 150 ;
beans 30. Foreign—Wheat, 24,920 ; barley, 5,640 ; malt 850 ;
oats, 21,180 ; maize, 7,600 ; peas, 3,820. Flour, 940 sacks, and
13,770 barrels.

not quite such a large show of stock at this market to-day as
last week. Beef sold at a slight advance. Best mutton changed

Peru bales, 9d. to 9fd.; 1,460 Surat bales, 50. to 8&d. Imports
-2,811 bales.

MANCEEgSTER COTTON MAB,ET, WEDNESDAY.—Buyers
still continue indisposed for business, hence our market is ex-
tremely quiet, with a steady, though much slower, decline in
value than has taken place in the raw staple. Owing to the
panic prevailing in the Liverpool Cotton Market, which has in
no sense extended to this market, the small daily sales shew a
decline certainly, but only a small one, hence the position of
both spinners and manufacturers have nominally improved
since the declaration of war.

GLASGOW PIG IRON 3SAKET, WEDNESDAY.—The brokers
decided to hold no market to-day, on account of the panio and
failures.

Mr. Holman Hunt is busy on a picture in the
Holy Land ; he has just returned to 'Jerusalem from
Nazareth.

GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS.—An exceedingly in-
teresting and exciting match at cricket was played out on
Tuesday at Lord's between the Gentlemen and Players
of England. The " Gentlemen " obtained in their two
innings 274 runs. The players in their first innings 121,
leaving 154 to be obtained to win. After a desperate
struggle and much excellent play they were disposed of
by the Gentlemen for 149, the latter thus winning by four
runs. The excitement of the fashionable crowds who
were present was surprising.

TEE ORLEANS PRINCES.—The persistency with
which the claims of the Orleanist family are being pressed
in France must be prompted by a conviction that the
sons of Louis Philippe have numerous friends in the Legis-
lative Body, and numerous well-wishers among the people.
As is well known the existing French Cabinet numbers
one or two former members of the historical Orleanist
Club, of the Rue de Poitiers, and the Emperor has
for some time past exhibited a laudable readiness to
listen to the -epresentations of the adherents of the
dethroned dynasty. It is somewhat difficult to imagine,
however, that anything in the shape of a restitution of
property will ever be made. If the younger branch of the
House of Bourbon is to be reinstated in its possessions,
why not the elder and legitimate brAnch? And if retro-
spective justice once begins in France, why sh?uld it stop
short at the royal exiles? During the last eighty years
there have been confiscations and evictions enough to
require another eighty years to find legal methods for
their redress.—New York Times.
