servants The Queens dresser is person OF
some consequence in the staff, and receives
what is considered in England large salary.
All letters to royal personages go through
some officials hands unless they are from pri-
waite correspondents, and are answered, if at
all. by secretaries or chamberlain. There is a
prescribed form for addressing each member of
the royal family, and which can readily be OBJ
tanned in the public libraries. The signature
of the Queen is well known, while the princess
es write simply their Christian names.
The Queens personal correspondents have
been many, and any one interested can observe
the easy familiarity of her style to intimate
friends in the published letters of the Life of
the Prince Consort.
Happily good sense has modified much of the
etiquette in the English court OF to-day Stiff
and needless it may seem to republicans, but
it is a necessity of monarchy, and English peo-
pie of the old school gravely lament the free
dom of the Contemporaries manner taking
it as a indication of careless reign to come.
These are but notes of the ordinary daily ETH
quette of court life, but there is more POM
pous side to the question, and one which makes
the English court brilliant as in medieval days
On state occasions, drawing-rooms, levees, and
above all, royal weddings, etiquette creates a
splendor such as no canvas could depict
When her Majesty's trumpeters on the Wind
sor Heights blaze forth in scarlet, and an
nounce the approach of royalty; when ST.
Georges Chapel is filled with the moving
colors of state procession; when heralds, yeo-
men, musicians, and guardsmen fulfill their
varies duties with solemn etiquette and parade
one can hardly say the day of ceremonial has
gone by. The Queen appears, the princes and
prlnceSses follow, and the national anthem fills
the air. Who can say no fairy tales are told
amongst us in this prosaic century,?

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Portland Daily Wholesale Market,

fOftiand Daily Wholesale Market.
SATURDAY, May 10.-Flour is firm and about 25c
higher in sympathy with the advance in Wheat.
The New York market shows considerable advance
in Wheat the last week; rejected Spring advanced
from II to SAC, ungraded Winter Red from 13 to
15, ungraded White from 1 O61a to Is and
White State from 1912 to 15 Corn excited and
higher the advance here in the last three days being
about &c; Yellow Corn, car lots, shows an advance
to-day from 4S1ac to SOC, and High Mixed from
471a to Acc; and bag lots from 81 to &c. Oats are
also very firm and advancing; car lots quoted lie
higher than Friday. In Produce there is no percent
bic change, except slight decline in Bermuda
Onions. Butter is easier. In Lard, the market is
quiet at quotations. The increase in the product of
Lard in this country for the year ending March 1st
over the previous year, was 1872, 900 tierces-the
total product being Al, 100 tierces There were
LIST, $685. 1872 terces, against 903 1O3 the previous
year. The stock of American Lard in the world is
estimated at 100000 tierces, against $50 900 ayear
ago. In Drugs &C., there are no important move
ments to note except in few articles Castor Oil is
firm but not quotably higher. Opium advanced
again yesterday in consequence of cable adyices
from Smyrna, quoting the market rather excited
crop prospects for the year about 5000 cases. Oun-
ine-the duty question is again before Congress- and
it is believed by many in the trade, that the duty
will be taken off, the first effect of such measure
would be to advance the price in Europe on account
of increased orders going out. and it may lessen the
manufacture of the article in this country the price
therefore this season is likely to be fully maintained
