in rather important demand. There is no improve-
ment in price, stock being sufficient at present to
induce spinners generally to meet the demand pretty
freely at Friday's rates. In home-trade yarns sellers
report a fair average day's business, but they find it
difficult to establish an advance on the rates of Fri-
day, though they think the market is in a healthier
position. In cloth there has been for several days

the demand at the low rates of last week, we can
o
hardly report any improvement in price. Buyers
can generally suit themselves at the rates of last
Friday. In printers, longcloths, and domestics, and
fabrics for the home trade there is no improvement.
CARDIFF, 16th.—The demand for steam coal
during the past week has increased, and the exports
are in excess of many previous weeks. Several
vessels have been despatched to the Cape and the
Eastern ports, and brokers continue to charter at
remunerative rates. Orders for coals are also in-
creasing slightly from the Mediterranean, and
freights are firmer than
.they have been for some
time past. At the majority of the collieries the
hands are better employed, and there is a fair pro-
spect of a further increase in the consumption.
House coal merchants are shippin-
g winter supplies
to the West of England and Ireland. Last month
the exports reached 188,326 tons, as compared with
162,769 tons im the corresponding month, and the
shipments coastwise were 84,420 tons,
against
78,129 tons in August, 1866. n
- wing to the lateness
of the season, the export of rails to the Baltic is
being pushed on vigorously, and there is also a fair
demand from the United States. The Americans
would ere this have been much larger buyers bad
reconstruction proceeded as many anticipated. On
home account railmakers anticipate that the lead-
ing companies will be in the market at the com-
mencement of next quarter with the contracts so
long held back, and as money is to be had on such
favourable terms, and the
price of iron so low, it is
believed that they will embrace the present favour-
able opportunity for making purchases. The ex-
ports last month reached 18' 149 tons, being a large
of
increase on the returns the previous month.
LEEDS, 17th.—The woollen cloth markets to-day
have not been very well attended, and the buyers
present were not active buyers. Only small selec-
tions of goods were made, except as to tweeds, which
80
sell freely, though not well as at the correspond-
ing period of last year. The demand for heavy
coatings was aboat equal to last week, but that
branch, as well as the
plain goods trade generally,
is not brisk. There is no quotable change in the
prices of either wools, woollen yarns, or goods.
ROCHDALE, 16th.—There was only a small attend-
ance of buyers in the flannel market to-day, and
the general tone of the market was quiet. The
plain goods department is the most active, and a
moderate amount of business was done in medium
and common qualities o- a t dy. The Yorkshire goods
trade maintains its late position, and the supply,
having been contracted more than usual during the
spring months, is not much in excess of tlm demand.
Prices of both flannels and Yorkshire goods firm,
as are also those of wools.

A REMARKABLE C o INCIDEN CE. —Exactly two years
ago the child of a Mr. Martin,
an employe at the Ply
mouth Theatre, while playing outside his door was run
over by a waggon and killed. A carter named Pinney was
at the time supposed to have caused the death, and at the
inquest a solicitor attended to watch the case on his be-
half. It was not elicited from the evidence, however, that
Pinney wets implicated in the affair. One evening last week
the son of the man Pinney was playing in the road exactly
opposite Martin's house, when be was knocked clown by a
cart and killed. The strangeness of the coincidence, the
ago of the two children being precisely the same, and the
accident occurring on the second anniversary of the first-
mentioned casualty, has caused considerable comment in
the neighbourhood.— Western Atorniry Nws)
