There was a limited show of wheat to-day, and sales
were made quietly, at full prices. A better feeling in the
demand for barley, and all good qualities maintained late
prices. The inquiry for oats was steady, the currencies of
last week being realised. The demand for beaus proved
dull, at rather lower rates.
New white wheat, 56s to 62s ; new red, 50s to 58s per 36
stone. Barley, for malting, 36s to 40s per qr. ; grinding,

There are sixteen papers now published in the
Dutch East Indian colonies in the Dutch language
—three in Malay, and one Javanese, besides six
journals, organs of learned societies. Most of these
papers are published in Java ; the facasche Courant,
of Batavia, is the Government Gazette, and was
first stated in 1810, the earliest attempt of the
kind in the island. It is merely official. These
papers are nearly all weeklies or semi-weeklies ;
none are dailies. They have no political articles,
but consist chiefly of advertisements, with local and
home news, and an occasional leader on local, agri-
cultural, or commercial matters. The editor of the
Nieuwsbode, of Sourabaya, was banished last year
for an infringement of the press regulations, in not
supplying the name of the writer of an article called
" A Dream," pretending to give a representation of
the position of Java in 1965, which was offensive to
the Government ; and a subsequent editor was
banished for a similar reason. The papers are all sub-
ject to a stamp tax, and ne numbers are allowed to be
distributed until a copy has been delivered to the
head of the local government and approved by him.
The three principal papers of Batavia do not average
above 1,000 to 1,200 subscribers in Java and the
neighbouring island, and publish a mail edition for
Holland. Their advertisements bring in their largest
revenue ; and though the subscription price is not
more than $12 per annum, they manage to pay their
editors (generally lawyers) $5,000 and upwards a
year. Like the papers of most small countries, they
are continually attacking and abusing one another ;
and all of them persist in placing domestic occur-
rences in the order that propriety suggests—mar-
riages, births, and deaths—rather than in the Eng-
lish way.—The Nation.
The great financial authority, the Sentaine
Financiere, thus appreciates the Budget of M.
Fould :—" The impression arising from reading this
important document is two-fold ; it excites admira-
tion at the fecundity of the resources of France, and
a sentiment of painful surprise at the laborious
efforts which it is necessary to make to keep our ex-
penses upon a level with those splendid and inde-
fatigable resources. With such elastic resources as
ours, with resources increasing to the extent of 45
millions from year to another, and which, according
to the views of the Minister of Finance, will exceed
by 40 millions the expectations of the Budget ot
1867, which could not be done by Governments
like those of England and the United States, accus-
tomed to assist by skilful and comprehensive mea-
sures, to advance the progress of the riches of their
country."

FADVERTISEMENT.1—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Experience before ./ uthority.--- For nearly the third of a
century have these remedies stood in the foremost rank
for overcoming ulcers, sores, swellings, rashes, and all
descriptions of skin diseases. At first the faculty de-
nounced these medicaments, but the experience of sufferers
soon overthrew all interested opposition. Those whom
Holloway's medicines had cured told other invalids the
benefit they had derived from their use ; these in their
turn tried them, found equally satisfactory results, and
thus aro these admirable curatives used and prized
throughout the habitable globe. The ointment has always
been applied with the most marked success in erysipelas,
varicose veins, swelled ankles, and numberless other in-
firmities by which thousands around us are sorely op-
pressed.
