LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE address in reply to
the Queens speech was agreed to unanimously
in both Houses of Parliament.
In the House of Commons last evening Mr..
Disraeli expressed his sorrow that the ratifca-

not announced. He hoped however for
speedy completion of the treaty.
Mr.. Gladstone was sure the negotiations
would end in the same spirit in which they
were commenced. The final issue would
doubtless be satisfactory to both countries.

Remarks-For several weeks past th9 drovers from

there is but moderate demand. The supply from
the West wasi not as large has been for several
weeks past and with few exceptions the Cattle were
mostly of an ordinary grade There was one or two
pairs OF very nice premium Cattle which averaged
$500 TBS live weight, and it estimated that they
would cost l5c ~ ib dressed weight. There is not
much II any change in prices from those of last week.
The markets at Boston OF late have been largely sup
pied with dressed beef shipped direct irOm the
west to commission houses, and butchers find it
hard to compete with them in prices. The Sheep
trade is not much different and prices about the
anne as last week. Most of the Western Sheep are
taken at q commission.

Ramarks-The market for domestic Wool is firm
and full prices continue to be obtained for all kinds
with good demand from manufacturers. Desirable
lots of fleece are fast disappearing, and with pros
pectve light receipts stocks must soon become ma
terially reduced In New York stocks of all kinds
are gradually diminishing and as the clip promises
to be sold up more than Usually close before the new
Wool makes its appearance, the market presents an
appearance of decided strength. and some holders
are willing to part with their supply only upon the
basis or an advance upon the ruling currency. The
Philadelphia Commercial List says:-The market
since our last has been characterize ed by increased
frmness with limited disposition ON the part of the
local and Eastern manufacturers to operate. Con-
sumers are taking proportionay large quantities of
fine domestic fleece in default of an adequate supply
of The coarser grades. but the margin between the
two does not appear TO widen. The movement, par
