CORN AND CATTLE TRADE. The wet week gave more tone to Saturday's markets, and there was an advance of about Is. per quarter. At Dorchester there was but a limited attendance of buyers. The supply of wheat VMS scarcely suthcierst for local millers, and prices were Is. per imperial quarter in advance of last week, when the oticial average was Ns. 51d. A retail trade in spring corn.—At Mr. Symonds's cattle sale there was a moderate supply of stock, a good business being done at the subjoined rates: Heifers and calves, .£l2 15s. to £lB 15A. each: hampers, X.:t 10s. to £l5 per head: fat steers, £l7 to £27 10s.; fat calves, 38s. to 120 s. fat wethers, 50s. to 5.95. 61.; fat ewes. 48s. to 531. Fat beef, which a month ago was making 17g, per score is now sold at H. to 15s. At Norwich trade was steady at about late rates. At Reading wheat Is. dearer than last Saturday. Not much trade. At Warminster very small supply and short attendance. The few lots that were sold realised an advance of is, per quarter. At Gloucester for English wheat full prices were secured ; foreign quiet at last week's rates, the advance obtainable a few days since being lost.. At Bath wheat in very small supply, and sold slowly at last week's prices. At Taunton with the exception of grinding barleys, which showed an improvement, there was no appreciable alteration since last week.  The Continental Herald announces the appearance of another vine pest, called the grisette. Prince Leopold has taken Boyton House, situate between Salisbury and Warminster, as a country residence. The Saturday Review sums up the arguments for and against Mr. Cross's Labour Bills by caustically observing that the Acts svill probably fulfil one test of impartiality by dissatisfying both master and workman. Damage amounting ti £lOO,OOO was done by fire at the Dublin Excise Bond Stores on Friday night. One whole street was destroyed, the burning spirits spreading the flames with fearful rapidity. The Stanley Dock Warehouses, Liverpool, stored with jute, were also burned down on Friday night, but, by the efforts of the firebrigade, the shipping was preserved uninjured. A shocking suicide took place in Belgravia on Saturday morning, at the residence of Colonel Sir James Hogg, M.P., chairman of the Met,opolitim Board of Works, 20, Grosvenor-gardens. A policeman saw a female with her legs over the railings of the fourth-floor window, some 50 feet high. The butler was instantly called, but before he could get upstairs the female threw herself down and fell upon the area steps. She was taken to St. George's Hospital, where she expired. She was lady's maid in Colonel Hogg's establishment, and was a native of France. It has been frequently asserted that America produces the greatest advertisers of day, and while admitting to a great extent the truth ef this statement, still we find that we can point to several of our own countrymen who equal, if not surpass, the greatest of our transatlantic brethern as advertising giants. Perhaps the most enterprising advertiser of our time is M. F. J. Clerke, of Lincoln, proprietor of Clarke's world-famed Blood Mixture, who must have expended several large fortunes in placing his now popular medicine before the world. True, he has been backed, in his blood mixture, by an article of wonderful efficacy: but there are few who possess the sPirrt, or rather faith. necessary to make a thoroughly successful advertiser. Within a few years only his Blood Mixture has become "world-famed," and his advertisements are to be seen in every newspaper and periodical throughout the world, and we notice, this week, as if to prove beyond question his belief in advertising—at the same time as effectually showing the extraordinary range of his medicine —a witots PAGE advertisement in the three great London daily papers—Daily Telegraph, Standard. and Daily News. This is certainly the most' astonishing thing in advertising that we remember. Had the great Blood Mixture fallen in less enterprising hands the world might ever have had the benefit of this wonderful medicine.  EVANS'S ASTRINGENT DRINK, • For Scour in Calves.
