INCOME-TAX.—The very great delay in making
payments to officers engaged under the Income-tax Act (Acts, we
shall have it shortly), is producing a stronger and stronger feeling.
Even for what is paid out ofpocket, the reply day comes sloWly on.
Poor encouragement to industry and perseverance this !—(From a
Correspondent.)—[We only wish they would strike. The public would
rejoice to learn that the hicomc-tax gatherers had held a meeting on
Marston Moor or Kennington-common, and resolved to give up their
obnoxious calling.]
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FEIDAL—There is a
large supply of Wheat to this day's market. Fine samples are no
lower, but for inferior qualities about 6d. to Is. less had to be taken
where sales were effected. Best runs of Barley quite as dear. Beans
in fair demand at last week's prices. Oats very dull and slow sale,
but without deViation in value. • - ,
