GUARDIANS STATEMENT,

MANCHESTER, Feb. 13.-The Guardian, in it's commercial article, says: Lhe mar ket is devoid of special feature. Business of partial and unevenly distributed char. time, and in some quarters it has been fairly extensive. Judging from the low and irregular markets, sellers have to take orders in quantities upon very low basis. The depleted order list among producers for India and some other sections is pro ba- bly the weakest point of the market. Though the engagements in some impor- tant staples for China and the far east are more satisfactory, manufactures with moderate engagements are firm. Many able proposals, the scarcity of which is forcing more looms into idleness. In yarns there is little demand. The tendency is irregular and against sellers.

THE ToesY OF PLANTS.
TrnfHes Grow Without Roots In the vicin-
 fsy of Oak Trees.

Concerning truffies there is much mys- tery Where do they come fromf II 'spect they growed, Topsy might have said of them, but nobody knows exactly how they do grow They have not any root, and no ono can tell where they will be found, ex- cept that experience has taught that, as rule, they are most plentiful in the vicin- ity of oak trees. There in the ground, few inches below the surface, lie these cor rugated balls, emitting an odor which is rather siokly and overpowering. Pigs and dogs have a great affinity for this scent, and formerly pigs were used to direct the seekers after truffles to their place of con- oealment. Dogs in these times are solely employed in Perigord, whence we derive the bulk of our supplies. Some are to be found in England, in Hampshire, but these are described as having a musty taste and are without tho rich and delicate flavor which makes the French truffle dear to the heart of the chef.
 To indulge one's appetite for truffles after the taste for them has been acquired is a very expensive luxury. They require to be we'll selected, Some may be as small as nut, and sojne may weigh fully pound, but the best ones, says M. Benoist who has specially studied them, average six or eight to pound. In this country the consumption is not so large, but 1t suddenly expands at Christmas time and it is possible that when tho supply is short, as it sometimes is, pickled truffles may be worth 30 shillings per pound. As truffles soon waste and go bad, it is ob yious that it is speculative article. un- less tho demand is regular. The French have learned to appreciate theso dainties very highly, and the skilled cook can in illimitablo dishes make effective uso of them, to the delight of tho gourmet if not of the gourmand or glutton. In Paris more truflles arc used in one day than would suffice the needs of all England for two months, served though they be as vegetables with hot or cold dishes. Lon don TeleQraph
