THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the ten year,
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
ntroduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
aington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
o sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma•
erial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as It regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
hey be distinguished from real silver.

its variety and extent, purchasers are invited to call and inspect it.-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE- WEDNESDAY

The supply of English Wheat on offer being on the increase the
demand for it war extremely dull, and prices were with difficulty
supported. At the close of the market a clearance was not effected.
In free Foreign Wheat so little was doing that the quotations were
almost nominal. Grain under lock was a mere drug. The finest
malting Barley moved off at late rates, but grinding and distilling
sorts might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The
Malt trade was in a very inactive state, yet we can notice no altera-
tion in value. We have to notice a E teady, , though not to say brisk,
inquiry for Oats, at very full prices. Beans and Peas were quite as
dear, but Flour hung heavily on hand.

Making ;profits from one charitable institution for the pur-
pose of providing funds in aid of another, the board de-
sire that the loan funds should be worked with the sole ob-
ject of supplying small loans to the industrious poor on
the lowest possible terms. The board, in the peculiar
state of the country, caused by the extensive failure
of the potato crop, issued a circular in February last, recommending
to the various committees great caution in the issue of loans. " The
board apprehend," the circular stated, " that in certain districts a
pressure may be felt during the ensuing season, which may render it
difficult for borrowers to meet engagements previously made with.the
managers of loan fund societies. The board also consider it desirable
to direct the attention of the managers to the importance of retaining
at all times a sufficient reserve fund which will place beyond all risk
the security of the funds entrusted to their care by the depositors,
and which will enable them, whenever a course may be considered
desirable, to dissolve their society without loss 'being sustained by
any of the parties who may have been connected with it." The
board wish it to be known that they have no control over a number
of societies connected with the " Irish Reproductive Society." after
paying all expenses, and keeping a sum in hand for contingencies,
the board had purchased 2,0001. of Government stock. An account
is given of the moms de piete. They are situate in Belfast, Porta-
down, Tandragee, Newcastle, and Lismore. There were at the close
of last year 21,581 " pledges " in stock of the estimated value of
3,389/. 14s. 11d. There were 85,319 pledges taken during the year
of the value of 12,8801. 135., and 79,773 released in the year of the
value of 11,8981.35. 9d.
