~,,
curred at Egremont Ferry, on the Cheshire side of the
---
Mersey. Peter Humphreys, the engine boy at the stationary
engine used for drawing up the landing stage, was at work
about the, engine, when. he was dragged in amongst the co
wheels ane,. frightfully mutilated. His right thigh was torn
frOm his body, andhis left amfrom about the middle.
'IL right jaw_ was smashed, and the muscular portion of
the left thigh very much torn, as was also all the right
stile of the body. The poor boy lingered for about an hour,

in two small public sales, barely maintained the previous
value, more especially in the lower up-country sorts.
The demand , for sugar has been daily improving,
which gavel_ holders the opportunity to maintain ex-
treme previous rates. Saltpetre has, within the last eight
days, been in considerable inquiry for shipments to
America, giving prices for the better medium qualities an
upward tendency. Rice remains without improvement in
demand, and without material alteration in prices. Raw
silk has at last been conceded on somewhat reduced terms,
which have led to increased business. Coraha have continued
in fair request for the better classes of goods, which com-
manded full previous rates with but a scanty choice. Lin-
. seed has continued in spirited demand, mainly for American
account, and prices show an improvement of fully three to
four annas. Mustard-seed remained in but limited inquiry,
which has hitherto not been stimulated by the willingness
shown to meet somewhat reduced offers. Shellac and lac dye
have commanded a fair share of attention at extreme pre-
vious prices. Jute has been dull, and inferior qualities ob-
tainable on rather lower terms.
In our import market, the demand for cotton 'piece goods
has generally slackened, but without any material alteration
in prices. The low descriptions of gray shirtings fully
maintain their value, but sales of all kinds are on a
smaller scale. The demand for white shirtings has also
given way, but without alteration in price. White figured
shirtings have kept up the slight improvement noticed
in cur last report, but they are yet very low in com-
parison to cost. White cambrics continue dull. There is
more inquiry for white twills, but the offers made are too
low to admit of holders taking them. Madapollams sell
readily. There is less doing in jacconets. The low qualities
of lappets are the only ones in demand. Book muslins are
again dull. The inquiry for mull mulls is falling off. Mule
twist is lower in all numbers except 40's; for these the
range of prices is wider than it has been at any former
period; inferior 40's are difficult of sale at 4 annas per
morah, while the best marks are worth from 4 10 to 4 11.
Coloured yarns remain dull. Copper is rather lower. Iron
has improved a little. Spelter is sluggish, and the market
for lead has slackened.
