Barley has not recovered from the decline of last market, but is
rather dull than otherwise at the price of that day. The niealing
trade is in exactly the same stater on Wednesslay, very heavy sale;
but fine dry samples support 31onday's prices, with hut trifling busi-
ness done. Oats continue very heavy sale, with an inclination of
giving way in prices. In other ankles there Is no alteration.

Love Toscras.—lt was the custom in England in the
orden wise," as the ancient chronicles have it, for
" enamoured maydes and gentlewomen," to give to
their favourite swains, as tokens of their love, little
handkerchiets about three or four inches square,* roughs
round about, often in embroidery, with a button or tas-
sel at each corner, and a little one in the centre. The
finest of these favours were edged with narrow gold,
lace or twist; and then, being bolded up in four cross
fold•, so that the middle might be seen, they were worn
by the accepted lovers at the breast, or in their bats,
These favours. at last, became so much in vogue, that
they were sold in the shops, ready made, in Elizabeth's
time, from sixpence to sixteenpence a-piece. Tokens
were also given by the gentlemen, and accepted by
their fair mistresses, thus dews ibed in an old comedy
of the time :

Given ear-rings we will wear,
Bracelets of our lovers hair ;
Which :bey on our arms ►ball twist,
(With out names tarrd) on our wrist.
