LONDON MARKET,Monday.—The London market of Friday was not well attended, though there will be no market on Monday. Millers are generally sufficient- ly supplied with wheat and prefer to wait a few days. English wheat was scarce, and when required realised Is. more money from Monday. There were, however, very few sales. Foreign wheat was sixpence dearer from Monday, but with not much enquiry except for good Australian. Flour was held for 6d. per sack advance, but without much doing. Barley was firm for malting and 3d to 6d dearer for grinding descrip- tions. Oats made 6d to 9d more money for the 304 lb. sorts, previously depressed, but heavy oats were un- changed. Maize was fully 6d dearer from Monday, and with a better demand. Rye also favoured sellers' who, however, were not able to obtain more money for any sorts of pulse. Linseed was the turn in seller's favour. LONDON PROVISIONS, Friday. The market for bacon still continues very firm, and all coming forward is wanted as fast as it arrives at full rates, the market again closing quite bare of stock. The trade for butter has been decidedly slow this week, and all have been anxious to sell. Finest Normandy has maintained its price, but other descriptions have given way. Lard has an upward tendency. LEICESTER CATTLE, Saturday.—Good average attendance; full consignments of home-bred bullocks in good condition trade active for choice lots at firm prices, inferiors flat. Milch cows in good request at f20 to 923 loi per head for best qualities; secondary E17 to LIS per head heifers, 912 to fl5 per head year- lings, £6 to £10 per head Irish bullocks, 915 to Els per head Welsh bullocks, 910 to fl4 10s per head; calves, short supply, sold readily at f23 per head.

CARMARTHEN BUTTER, Saturday.—There was a fair supply of cask butter at our market to-day, which sold at from lOd to lOd per lb and in some instances fully lid per Ib was given. BIRMINGHAM CATTLE, Tue,-day.-Beef realized 6 £ d to 8d per lb, a few Od mutton 611 to 8Jd, a few 2 Od lamb, 8d to 9d bacon pi,,s, 9s Od to 9s 2d per score sows, 6s 3d to 6s Vi porket3, 8s 9d to j 9s Od per score. BRADFORD WOOL, Thursday. There is no material change in the wool market to-day. The tone is exceedingly quiet, and the attendance on, Change is small. The weather is cold and wet, and this, perhaps, has somewhat of a depressing effect. Prices of English wool are weaker in price, and the business done is of a restricted character. This is also the case with tops, which are said to be relatively weaker than wool. A large "business is doing in Colonial wools, prices being in favour of consumers. Both mohair and alpaca are slow of sale. In the yarn market business is quiet. Spinners are firm in the maintenance of prices, a course which tends to keep off buyers. The demand for export is especially flat. A fair amount of business of a miscellaneous character is doing for home. There is no change in the piece market. Business is generally quiet. Some makers of specialities continue busy, but this remains quite of an exceptional character. The demand generally is of an unsatisfactory character. MONMOUTH PROVISIONS, Saturday.—There was the usual attendance at our market to-day, and prices were as follows :-Butter, Is to Is Id per lb pen eggs, Id each; tage cheeses, 5d to 8d each; fowls, 4s 6d to 5s Od per ccuple ducks, 5< Od to 5a 6d.

INFLUENZA: LA GRIPPE. We have for some time heard rumours that this distressing and depressing malady has reappeared in this country but it has now been proved beyond a doubt that it is much more prevalent than is generally known. When, about a year ago, we heard of La Grippe on the Con- tinent and elsewhere, we were disposed to treat the reports of its ravages not over gloomily indeed, an allusion to La Grippe was almost invariably treat ed with levity. Since its appearance, however, amongst us some twelve months ago, and since we have observed its baneful effects on the constitu- tion, we regard its recurrence with special dread, as hundreds if not thousands, of patients have not yet (if thev ever will) shake off its evil effects. During the period Influenza raged in Paris and elsewhere last year, it was conclusively proved that Quinine is the only specific. Reports by Messrs Bo' Roberts, Rue-de-la-Paix Swann, Rue Castigoni Dr Hogg, the Champs Elysees, and other celebrated Parisians, demonstrate this beyond a doubt. It was also generally admitted that Quinine, exhibited in the form of Quinine Bitters, was by far the most pleasant and efficacious way of taking it. As a preventative we know of nothing equal to Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. A few strong doses taken in time will oftea prove effectual in warding off attacks of this malady, and always succeed in mitigating their severity when a patient is under their influence. These beneficial results of a prompt use of the Quinine Bitters are due to the follow- ing causes.- 1. The Quinine Bitters give tone to the whole system. 2. They fortify the constitution. 3. They brace up the nerves and muscles. 4. They purify the blood. 5. They remove all obstructions and impurities in the human body. 6. They strengthen and fortify those parts which have been weakened by disease, and are consequently more liable to the invasion of unhealthful influences. By these means Gwilyn Evans' Quinine Bitters assist nature to expel or repel the attacks of disease, and prevent it settling in the system. When suffering from an attack of influenza, the Quinine Bitters should be taken in double doses and twice as often as are prescribed in ordinary cases. GWILYM EVANS' QUININE BITTERS the best tonic for those who have been down with influenza. A few doses drive away the sense of extreme helplessness and feeling of misery and weakne s felt after a severe attack. It revives the spirits and soo restores the strength. The greater the success of Quinine Bitters, the more numerous are its imitations. We warn the public against unprincipled and dishonest men who devote their talents to copying the productions of others, in order to reap benefit to themselves and defraud others. See that the name of Gwilym Evans is on stamp, label, and bottle. Any preparation offered under the title of Quinine Bitters, and which is not sold in bottles, as above described, is not genuine, and the Quinine Bitters Company repudiate any such preparation, and are not responsible for it.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. We have only five days to review this week instead ofseven; but as four out of the five have been marked by thunderstorms, there has been quite euough 11 weather to influence the exchanges. The^daniage done to the crops is probably more in imagination than in reality but the fall in the temperature has delayed the commencement of harvest, and unsettled conditions just before August are always viewed with justifiable apprehension by the trade. There hat not been much wind with the rain, and, as a rule, the corn stands up well. Even where laid, ns in the case of some heavily-manured fields which we have seen, the cost of harvesting will be increased rather than the J ield itself reduced. Oats probably will benefit by the recent weather, and roots al- most certainly have done so. There is some fear of rust spread- ing among the English wheat fields, as it has already done. rather badly, on the other side of the Channel. English wheat shows 3d. adance on t! C imperial average for the week, but as compared with June, the July mean is Is. 3d. lower on the month. Mai-k Lane Express. Go

BUTTER MAKING. It would almost seem, writes Professor Sheldon, in respect of quite a considerable proportion of dairy-maids, that some mysterious and insuperable difficulty stood in the way of making first rate butter. Anyhow, there is not much butter that answers to this description, if the complaints we hear and see are a true index to the actual state of things. We have been told repeatedly that the French and Danes and Swedes and Dutch, and even the Germans can beat us out and out in butter-making, and that the highest-priced butter in the London market is not produced in the British Islands at all. There is, no doubt, a good deal of truth in all this, but it is at the same time true that as tine butter is produced here and there in our insular country as in any part of the continent and we may fairly believe that the efforts which are now being made to disseminate sound dairy education will have the effect of greatly increasing the proportion of fine butter made in this country. Butter making, as an art, is a simpler thing than cheese making yet, to excel in it, demands the application of sound principles. It must be intelligently pursued from beginning to end-with regulation, with system, with watchfulness. Strict cleanliness in every stage of the work and the regulation of temperature, are the leading principles, followed by careful attention to details of management. All this, however, formidable as it may seem in the way I have tried to emphasise it, is simple and easy enough when once the habit has been acquired. Habit, indeed, is almost everything, because there are bad as well as good habits, in butter-inaking, and between them we may discover most of the reasons why there is so much disparity in the quality, flavour, aroma, and condition of butter. And habit is the sequel of training and example, to a great extent; hence the need of intelligent education, supplemented by thoughtful care. The fact is, we do not take pains enough, and we do not study out the matter as we ought to do in its various aspects. Were we to acquire the habit of taking pride in our work, which is so conspicuous among the dairy folk in some parts of the countries I have named, we could easily equal, if not excel, those self-same continental people in the art of butter-inaking. Let us examine the question from beginning to end, and see then if we cannot evolve something like order out of chaos. Milk is a complex and delicate tiuid, quick in absorbing odours, and highly sus- ceptible of fermentive changes. The septic tendencies of milk, its contamination with dirt and filth at milking time and in unclean vessels, its contact with vitiated atmosphere and with unsuitable temperattires-these are the chief reasons why the produce of so many dairies is beneath its possibilities. Careless lads who need their ears boxing—and careless men too, for the matter of that, who needs something else-injure a lot of milk at milking-time their hands are dirty, and they dip their fingers into the milk, thinking to milk the easier for it, and the tilth drops into the pail or they are too lazy, too wilful, too stupid, to clean an udder that is smeared with dirt, or smothered with dust, before they milk the cow. I am persuaded that more injury is done to milk in this way than 90 per cent. of milkers, of farmers, of dairymaids, of those who have to do with dairy work, ever dream of and hence it is that bad habits such as these, and the friendly familiarity that people have with dirt, are perpetuated from one genera- tion to another. Once the milk is delivered into the dairy, the responsibility of the dairymaid begins, and that of the miikers ends-as they suppose. Were it possible for an in- telligent dairyma;d to milk all the cows herself, there would be no harm done by dirt, for dirt would be kept at a distance. It is not possible, however, save in small dairies, and the next best thing is for the dairymaid to just superintend the milking of the cows. A competent dairymaid, feeling her responsibility and the importance of her vocation, is one on whom careless milkers will not play tricks with impunity. Dirty milk she detects at once, and the delinquent is instantly saddled with the blame, For her own credit's sake, indeed, she is entitled, nay compelled, to look very closely after this part of the matter: in butter and cheese factories the need for such watchfulness is fully understood, for one man's dirty milk would spoil the clean milk of everybody else. The dairy- maid, then, is responsible so soon as she has "passed" the milk into the dairy and indeed she ought to be. and ought to feel she is, or where is the good of a dairymaid at all? Here -in lies the reason why farmers' wives are, as a rule,the best dairymaids-they feel ithe responsibility, and take a pride and an interest in their work, which half atones for imperfect knowledge and defective training in the dairy. The care of milk in the dairy, while the cream is rising, is of first-rate importance. Or, indeed, we may say, in reference to this, take care of the dairy and the milk will take care of itself. That is, let the dairy be scrupulously clean, and well ventilated with pure air, and let the vessels-the pots and pans and kettles and everything-be above suspicion then the milk will take care of itself. I am assuming now that the dairy is so situated that in the heat of summer it does not get too warm. A correspondent of mine in Ireland has solved the problem of temperature in summer by putting a second roof on his dairy, a light one covered with felt, about a foot and a half above the first. Between the first and the ceiling, at the square of the walls, is permanent "air cushion," as he terms it, and between the two roofs a current of air is in circulation, the latter keeping the formercool, and the temperature of the roof beneath remains low enough in height of summer. If the temperature of a dairy can be kept down at 65 deg. in the hottest weather, the milk, as a rule, will keep well enough while cream is rising but if the weather is electrical, it is advisable to mix with the milk a little water in which saltpetre, or some other antiseptic, has been dissolved. I have found glacialine a wonderful milk preserver. In any case, the use of saltpetre in moderation is a good thing in summer it will help to preserve the milk, and in winter it will neutralise the bitter taste which is too commonly found in butter. The aeration of milk before setting it to cream is a most useful operation, though seldom performed as it ought to be. Properly done, the whole of the milk is well exposed to the air, as it is in passing over a Lawrence's refrigerator, and the odour of the cow escapes with the warmth. Aeration even in the absence of cooling, is of great use in keeping milk sweet in hot weather. Parin and Home.
