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 £10,090. The rental
had increased by £2,430, the gross receipts amount-
ing to £31,100. Tile 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's
working would not admit of a dividend. The com-
pany had suffered by the general commercial de-
pression, but not more than other companies. Lie
could not say that the capital account was closed,
but it would be closed as soon as the building in
Lombard-street was completed. At present the in-
come did not meet the expenditure. The number
of offices unlet 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 2G.—There is still a good
consumptive demand for the better sorts of wool,
which realize fully late rates, though spinn2ls fre-
quently pay them rather reluctantly. Some of these
sorts arc rather scarce, which causes much inquiry
without business being the result. Good Lincoln
hogs realizA from 181 to 19d. per lb.. and wallas
from 15d. to HI 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 busi-
ness doing in worsted yarns, and spinners generally
are very busy. The demand for two-fold yarns 15,
if anything, on the increase. Spinners are agillo
seeking higher prices, but in many instances more
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, ele
rather chary in giving the prices sought. There 13
a very good demand for low counts of carded yarns•
The piece market is rather quieter.

properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta ArabicA
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessin4
it has already received from Invalids whose position had lice'
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the POPel
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty Yea'
of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Ckaze`—f
du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866.—" The health

the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning 6
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barl
Revalenia Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful

effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise tb.l
excellent food too highly." We extract a few out °‘,
