been celebrated for the superiority of his. cutlery, and has bestowed
equal pains in bringing to perfection his tooth, nail, hair, and shav-

that each artjele in a dressing-case should bE perfect in itself, so as
to render the whole useful and complete. Those who desire to have

NEWBURY, FEB. 14.—Our supply of wheat to-day is very
moderate, and a better feeling was experienced in the trade,
most of the supply being early cleared off at an advance of
full is per quarter. Barley, large supply, and difficult of sale,
except for the best descriptions, at late rates. Beans and peas,
with a moderate supply, quite a drug, and late prices barely
supported. Oats, good supply, and in better request, at a
trifling improvement in value.
LivEaroor, FEB. 15.—At this day's market there was a
very thin attendance of the trade, and so little business was
transacted as to render it unnecessary to alter the quotations
of any article, with the exception of oatmeal and Indian corn,
which were easier to buy ; 20s Gd per load having been taken
for a good parcel of the former article, and 28s per quarter for
the latter.
Emma, FEB. 15.—Pork Carcases--The supply was mode-
rate, not more than last week, and prices were hardly so firm.
Large cearse pork sold at 6s per score ; ditto of better quality,
Gs Gd ; prime bacon pork, 7s ; and small dairy-fed pork 7s 3d
to 7s 4d per score. Tallow or Rough Fat—The price of this
article to-day is 3d per lb., or 2s per stone. Pannier—Turkeys,
5s to 8s each ; geese, 53 to 6s each ; ducks, 4s 6d to 5s per
couple; fowls, 2s 9d to 45 ditto; galenas, 5s to 6s ditto ;
wild ducks, be ditto ; widgeons, 3s Gd ditto ; hares, 3s each ;
butter, is per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for ls ; potatoes, 94 to 10d
per score ; turnips, 4d ditto ; parsnips, 10d, ditto. Corn Ex-
change, ene o'clock—Up to this hour we note but very little
actual besitiest. The growers have stood nut for higher prices
than the millers seem disposed to give, but we have not heard
that 5s per bushel has been exceeded for the very best war-
ranted wheat, and good wheat has been sold at from 4s 9d
up to this figure. We have again to repeat that in this Market
at least the farmers have no competition with the foreigner,
inasmuch as there is no foreign wheat on offer. Malting barley
is 3s and in some cares a trifle higher 1 oats, Is 9d to 2s per
bushel ; fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 26.01b5.
BaISTOL, FEB. 14.—There was only a very moderate sup-
ply of English and foreign wheat, though with an ianproved:
inquiry, and previous rates maintained. English wheat sold
at 365 to 42s per imperial quarter. Foreign white sold at 44s
to 48s ; foreign red, fine, 40s to 435; ditto, ordinary, 37s to
40s; ditto, hard, 35s to 3Ss per 480114. Malting barley was
fully Is per quarter lower, and grinding ditto was without
alteration. English malting barley sold at 24s to 28s per ins-
perial quarter; English and foreign grinding sold at 18s 6d
to 20s per 4001bs. In the oat trade there was no alteration :
Devon and Welsh oats sold at 15s to 16s per imperial quarter ;
Irish white 17s to 18s per 3201bs ; Irish black,. 15s 6d to 16s
er imperial qearter. Foreign oats none. The bears trade
was without improvement. English Beans sold at 28s to 35s
per imperial quarter; foreign ditto, 25s to 28s per 406:.123.
Flour was a languid trade, at barely previous rates ; English
seconds sold at 275 to 29s per sack ; American sweet, 23s to
24s per barrel.
tRiSiOL gUGAN MARKET, FEB. Is.—We have still to
report a very dull sugar market, and prices are again rather in
favour of the buyer. The refined market is also rather dull
this week. Rum is quiet. In West Indian molasses there is
nothing doing.—Bristol Mercury.
