the Factory Bills, and the causes which forced the legislature
to such an interference, and the delays and difficulties which
that interference ham had to contend with? The recent re

Fine Malting Barley, upon a short supply, partially ex-
ceeded our last quotations, but grinding qualities experienced
no improvement. Prime new Malt was rather dearer, infe-
rior kinds of old remaining very unsaleable. Beans and
Pease continued nominally as described on Friday.
Oats, of which a few limited parcels alone found buyers,

sparingly on the reduced terms, specified in our preceding
