CITY OFFICES.

A general meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the offices; Palmerston-buildings ; Mr.
Warner, M.P., in the chair.

The report stated that with the completion of the
Lombard-street property the buildings of the com-
pany would be finished. The liability to the con-
tractors had been reduced to £lO,OOO. The rental
had increased by £2,130, the gross receipts amount-
ing to £31,100. The directors believed that a re-
turn of general confidence alone was wanted to
greatly increase the value of the company's pro-
perty.

The CHAIRMAN said the result of the half-year'o
working would not admit of a dividend. The com-
pany had suffered by the general commercial de-
pression, but not more than other companies. He
could not say that the capital account was closed,
but it would be closed as soon as the building is
Lombard-street was completed. At present the in-
come did not meet the expenditure. The number
of offices uulet was 287.

Mr. Alderman DAKIN, in seconding the motion
for the adoption of the report, said when all the
offices were let the rental would amount to £70,000
a year.

After a long discussion, the report was adopted,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

STATE OF TRADE.

BRADFORD, MARCII 26.—There is still a good
consumptive demand for the better sorts of wool,
which realize fully late rates, though spinners fre-
quently pay them rather reluctantly. Some of these
sorts are rather scarce, which causes much inquiry
without huiiness being the result. Good Lincoln
hogs realized from 18d. to 19d. per lb.. and wailers
from 15d. to 16d. A public sale of 1,500 packs
has been held this afternoon by Mr. T. A. Frith-
The attendance was large and the biddings went off
rather spiritedly. The quotations current in the
market were fully realized. There is a good bus-
ness doing in worsted yarns, and spinners generally
are very busy. The demand for two-fold yarns 101
if anything, on the increase. Spinners are again
seeking higher prices, but in many instances mere
with a view to keep off orders. Except in leading
spinnings of 30's super, single yarns are rather
quieter. The rapid• advance in prices is not yielded
so quickly by consumers abroad, and shipping mer-
chants, though they are doing a fair business, are
rather chary in giving the prices sought. There IS
a very good demand for low counts of carded yarns'
The piece market is rather quieter.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—IfoIIoway's Pills.--Desirable poo
session.—Without health no amount of wealth, no r 11011,5
of pleasure, are of the slightest value. It is inconceivable
how small a disturbance of the animal functions begets
wretchedness, and how readily it may be rectified by 3
few doses of some purifying and regulating medicine such
as these world-renowned pills ; these have proved th°d
best friend to mankind in every grade, in every land, au
under almost every circumstance. Holloway's pills puricl"
fY
the blood, rectify digestion, stimulate the liver and o
net's, and regulate the bowels. When fevers, influents'
and other ailments aro epidemic, these pills should be
taken occasionally by every one to keep the blood and
system free from the seeds of the prevailing pestilence.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Henceforth no one will doubt the vale'
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabi
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessing:
it has already received from Invalids whose position had bee
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope;
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty Ye6,rte,
of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gaze.'
du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866.—" The health o.
the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning 5',11
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barryei
Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a Ple'te
at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly benefle.ll/
effect on his healtk, and his Holiness cannot praise L.uor
excellent food too highly." We extract a few out s_
