MARKETS--(This Day.)

MARK LANE.
The arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent fresh up
to-day wore moderately good, and in fair average condi-
tion. As the attendance of millers was limited, the de-
mand for all kinds was heavy, and the quotations were
nominally 2d per qr. lower than on Monday last.
The show of foreign wheat was good. All descriptions
met a dull inquiry, and prices had a drooping tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were heavy, at barely late
rates.
Fair average supplies of wheat were on offer in most of
the country markets held on Saturday. All kinds were a
dull inquiry at is per quarter less money. In the value of
spring corn very little change took place. Sales, however,
progressed slowly.
The continental markets continue firm for wheat. Barley
and most other kinds of produce support previous rates.
The exports from America are still extensive.
Fine malting barley was scaml, and quite as dear as
last week. In grinding and distilling sorts only a mode-
rate business was doing, at late rates.
Malt was iu fair average supply awl sluggish request,
at last week's quotttions.
Although th,, supply of oats was rather extensive, the
oat trade ruled steady, and prices were 3d. to GI per
quarter higher than on this day so'nnight.
There was a steady business doing in beans, and last
rates were supported.
Peas maintained their previous value, with a fair in-
quiry. The arrivals were limited.
The flour trade was heavy, and prices ruled a shade
lower.
Agricultural seeds were very inactive. Linseeds, rape-
seed, and cakes ruled steady.

PAINTERS IN TVA TEL! COL')URS.

The annual exhibitions of the slighter works of
our principal artists break in very pleasantly on
the monotony of these winter days, and to judge
from the numbers who oa Saturday thronged the
private view of the .Pail Mall Gallery there are
plenty eager to avail themselves of the earliest
opportunity of inspection. Those who were fortu-
nate enough to obtain a good view had no reason to
complain. The exhibition is of mere than average
exce,leece, and although we miss the names of some
eminent artists, the majority of the members have
sent in several. contributions. The names of
Maclisc and Millais and of Rosa Bonhcur arc con-
spicuous by their absence. The president has con-
tributed eight pictures, all more or less finished. No.
11, " The Race of the Two Routes," a desert scene,
with camels and travellers in the foreground, is one
of his characteristic Eastern sketches. No. 289,
" The Finding of Moses," is brilliantly coloured,
and in striking contrast to it is No. 161, " The
Great Boulder above Brienz, Switzerland," a land-
scape scene of great beauty. Landscapes, indeed,
predominate in the gallery. We have every variety
of sunset and moonlight effect, trees, mountains,
village greens, and barren coasts. The sea pieces
are scarcely less numerous, but the spectator can
hardly quarrel with so much beauty and vigour.
Mr. Hine is more than usually successful. Two of
his pictures-No. 187, "Sunset," and No. 57,
" Moonlight"-are very beautiful, and wonder-
fully skilful in their atmospheric effects. No. 38,
" On the Adur Littlehampton," and 294, "Winter
Sunset-Worthing, must also be classed in the
first rank. The exquisite finish of these works
has not prevented Mr. Hine from being a liberal
contributor. Ho has no less than eleven studies,
large and small. Another landscape painter, whose
pencil has been singularly happy in its delineation
of " the warbling woodland and resounding shore,"
is John Magford, whose " Sundown West Coast of
Scotland," No. 127, can hardly be passed unnoticed.
Mr. Pidgeon's " Study at Burnham • Beeches," No.
189, Mr. M'Kewan's • "Devonshire River," No.
190, " Mr. Bennett's " Windsor Forest," No. 358,
Mr. Mole's " Northend, Hampstead," No. 293, Mr.
Foley's " Ching Bridge," No. 253, Mr. Whymper's
" Thames at Evening," No. 117, and Mr. Mitchell's
" Scene on the Lyd, Devon," No. 277, prove that
we have no lack of artists willing to illustrate
the soft and varied beauties of our English scenery.
Mr. Pidgeon has a very graceful illustration of
Tennyson's world-famous brook, winding its
chattering way through haunts of coot and
bern. The same artist's " Oaks in Marl-
borough Forest" are admirable. Every forest
king stands out with lifelike vigour. The studies
of particular effects, such as Mr. Bennett's " Gleam
of Sunshine, 106, Mr. Absolou's " Autumn," 70,
and Mr. Shalder's "Shadow," 344, are many of
them excellent. Some of our artists, as may be
supposed, have gone further for their subjects.
Venice, of whose amphibious attractions the painter
and the poet aro never weary, is, of course, the
them of many pencils. Mr. D'Egville has given us
some fresh and picturesque illustrations, of which
No. 95, " San Giorgio dei Greci," is, perhaps, his
best. No. 136, the memorable " Castle of Chinon,"
by G. B. Campion, draws many gazers, while close
beside it hangs a gorgeous vision of Syracuse, as she
might have been when Nicias and Alcibiades were
striving for her conquest. Charles Yacher's pic-
tures, once seen, can scarcely fail to be recognised
by the peculiar glow of the background. As best
befits his style he chooses his subjects from beneath
warmer heavens than our own. "Sunrise over the
Lego di Garda," " Evening in Upper Egypt,"
"Remains of a Munidian city in North
Africa," such are his favourite subjects, and the
glowing tints and dreamy shadows, which
would in the colder north be out of place,
harmonise with the scene and its accessories. The
sea-pieces are many of them very fine. One of the
beet is No. 91, " A Wreck Buoy," by Edwin
Hayes, who has another similar title, " Felucca off
the Bell Buoy," No. 373, and a pair of charming
small pictures, 385, " Blowing Fresh" and " s now
Water." "Near Hastings-a Storm," by W. Ben-
nett, and Mr. Philip's "Beat of the Atlantic" are
scarcely less vigorous. Coming to the figure paint-
ings, the critic is at once arrested on entering by a
large painting by Guido Bach, No. 10, " Joy and
Sorrow," the meaning of the title being not alto-
gether clear. More happy is the effort of the same
artist, No. 142, " A Gitana-a Study," not far from
which hangs a charming sketch, No. 123, " The
Gleaner," by W. Lucas. Mr. Lucas has another
and most life-like figure, "The Holly Gatherer,"
No. 163. His works indicate talent of a high
order. Some of Augustus Bonvier's soft-faced
damsels smile on us here and there, though
we are glad to .find he no longer confines himself
exclusively to one department. No. 87 "The
Cameo ;" No. 431, "The Old Rope House ;" and
No. 426, "The Entrance to the Glen," show more
variety of subject and treatment than we have often
seen on his canvas. Mr. Lusson 'Thomas's " French
Fish Girl," No. 237 ; and " Gossips," 337, promise
well for the future. Mr. Welmert has several
carefully painted groups, the most noticeable of
which is No. 276, showing George Fox, the founder
of the Quakers, insulted iu his prison by his gaoler.
Mr. Luson Thomas's, " French Fish Girl," No. 237
and " Gossips," 337, promise well for the future. We
meet some five architectural drawings and interiors,
and Louis Haghe sends a gorgeous sketch of the
Investure of Louis Philippe with the Order of the
Garter. Mr. Wood's " Interior of the Chapel at
Haddon Hall," is good ; as is also Mr. Chase's

" Nave of Fountain's Abbey," another study by
Mr. Chase." The " Hall of Justice Bruges" must
not be overlooked. Harrison Weir has only
one picture, but that is ia gem of its kind.
Surely never were " foragers" more keenly on
the watch than the bright-eyed rabbits immortalised

in No. 54. No. 247. " Dash of the British Horse
Artillery," by G. B. Campion, is full of spirit, and
the horses are capitally drawn. The ladies are by
no means backward in the race. Mrs. Duffield's
roses are perfect.in their way, but •she has a dange-
rous rival in Miss Fanny Harris. Sarah Setchel
has some clever sketches ou a larger scale, one of
them a happy illustration of a scene from Crabbe.
Miss Emily Farmer's " Play," No. 169, is remark-
able for the ease and naturalness of the figure, while
Miss Louisa Corham shows us the very model of
mischievous kitteuhood peeping out of the prisoniug
hamper to gain his "first experience in the world.'•
Mrs. Harrison has accepted the doctrines of pre-
Raphaelitistn con amore. Her " Spring" is a won-
derful harvest of blue bells, and her " Tomb of
Lycidas," 184, is oppressively gay with memorial
flowers. Miss Emily Farmer has also a pair of por-
traits, " Sorrow—Mirth." No. 400, which form no
unfitting companions to the memorable " Jean qui
pleure et Jeauqui rit." _Many other studies of
great beauty and merit are to be found among the
works of Carl Werner, Messrs. Rlwbotham, Richard-
son, and Catterinole, and the glimpse we get of the
autumnal gallery prepares us for some really valu-
able and exeelleut works in the more elaborate exhi-
bition of the siring.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—The Privy
Council has granted the necessary license for the Smith-
field Club's show to be held at the Agricultural Hall from
tho 9th to the 13th of December.

CAPTAIN MAYNE REID, who has charmed with
his Mexican and Indian adventures the boys of this and
the last four generations—counting a boy's generation at
three years—has quitted England after passing flit Bank-
ruptcy Court in conuec ion with a daily paper he tried to
establish, the Little Times, and settled in New York, in-
tending to make America his final home, having arranged
says the London Review, to furnish to. the Philadelphia
Press a series of articles on " English Politics and Partie s.
TUE CAB DRIVERS AND THE STREET REGULATION
ACT.—To-day nearly all the metropolitan cabs had bills
posted on them headed "No Lamps," announcing a meet-
ing to bo held to-morrow evening, and advising all drivers
to be home by 4 o'clock, so after that hour to-morrow
ovening those requiring cabs will, no doubt, find some
difficulty in procuring them.
