LIVERPOOL—JAN. 16.
At to-day's market there was a very thin attendance of
the trade, and only a limited business done. Fine wheat
may be quoted without change in value, but some large
parcels of common red were pushed off at a reduction of
ld to 2d per 701bs. Flour met a very slow sale, and was
again the turn lower. Oats, oatmeal, barley, beans, and
peas were scarcely inquired for, and remained nominally
as before. Indian corn meets little attention, and above
33s Gd per qr. cannot be made for the best mixed Ameri-
can. Yellow held for 34s to 34s 6d, and white 35s to 35'
Gd per qr.

WAKEFIELD—JAN. 16.
Fine wheat was la, and common 2s per qr. cheaper,
with a dull trade. Fine barley was held for late prices,
and other sorts were rather cheaper. In beans, oats, and

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practl-
:al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, to informs es, that he has addressed himself to the nou-medi-
oal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
end ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those whe stiffer from the corn-
?taint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
qe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
,•.:ss importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put on end to the
=pineal system of treating Spennatorrhcea, and to place the treat-

ikely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
