Commercial Summary 1t appears from the
official record Of the stock of British plantation
Sugar, that the quantity at present on hand ex-
ceeds that of any corresponding period during
the last three years; its value is lower than in
the years 1912 and lS43, and is nearly the
same as in IS4l. The stock of Coffee in Eu-
rope amounts to four months consumption.
The importation into this country has been
larger than usual, and the stock on hand is
equal to eighteen months consumption. For
many descriptions of Coffee, the price is as low
as it was ever known TO be. In Sugar, during
the last week, the markets have been dull, and
the business has been less than for long time
previously. Prices have receded from Is to

wants. This state of depression refers not

declining prices.

ticts are less favorable. The depression is
caused, in some measure, by the season, neces-
sarily the dullcst in the year, and by the unfa-
vorable nature of the last advices trem India.

frost has also checked the export trade. The
cotton market, on the contrary, which was de-
pressed in the early part of last week, has as

Frighyul Murders and Outrages. Frghtful
murders disgrace ireland. A Protestant fami-

Fawcett, near Bailaboy in Kings comfy, from
which a Roman Catholic family named Daily,
had been elected. The Shepherds, who seem
to have been three brothers, received a notice
warning them not to take possession, if they
valued their lives. When they proceeded to
