Master has committed much in thus allowing
the poor to suffer? / cannot but believe
there are those who will help us in this matter.
We have committee OF ladies in each ward
OF the city, with chairman, to whom all
cases applying for aid are referred; and we
have not refused to help single case report
ed TO US, which upon investigation was found
at all worthy. Some cases we have been
obliged 10 refuse, when we found that coal
and provisions were sold for liquor. Do not
wait for US 10 make any further appeals, but

Time Satisfactory.

LONDON, February 13.-The Marx Lane
Express, in the review of the British grain
trade the past week, says the spring sowings
are progressing favorably. The growing
crops continue satisfactory and the position
is promising Trade is restricted and all ex-
cept the best samples are cheaper. There
was active inquiry for seed parcels OF spring
corn, but the eonsumptive demand is slow;
foreign remarkably quiet throughout the
week, and the demand very small; the con-
cession OF Cd to Is, Friday, was insufficient
to induce buyers. of the coast the market
is inanimate. Fourteen cargoes arrived, OF
which four were sold. The floating
bulk has been considerably increased.
The forward trade IS duh and rates are gen.
orally lower. Maize everywhere is weaker
and the demand is nominal. Barley is un-
changed, with slack demand. Oats are IN
changed for old, but common are rather
cheaper. Sales of English wheat during the
week, IS ,IS2 quarters, at 46s sd per quarter,
against So 900 quarters, at As Sd per quar-
ter, Tor the corresponding week last year.
