REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN I TRADE. Froat, which came without introduction, has made an equally unannounced departure In the later hours of Christmas Day the arctic visitant noiselessly departed, and on Saturday the land- scape, instead of being white, was once more brown and green. Rain fell in pmall quantities, and intermittent showers throughout the day, and what the meteorlogiata call a westeily period haB succeeded to the anti-cyclone which for a fortnight existed over north-western Europe. The discomfort of the frost in London was very great, as fog lasted off and on the whole time, but in the country the sweetening effect of the keen and bright air was entirely to the good. Samples at the markets between the 18th and the 24th showed amelioration in condition, while the degree of cold, although not inconsiderable, was not sufficient to endanger the October and November sown wheat. The effect of the thaw upon the markets will probably be of a weakening character. English wheat was a good show at Hull on Tuesday, and holders accepted 6d. less money than formerly. At Lynn, on the other hand, supplies were hardly adequate for enquiries, and 6d. advance was accordingly obtained. At Spalding and at Rochester value was stationary. On Wednesday, Bridgwater and Hereford were steady, a good sign, as for weeks previous the West of England had been a focus of price depression. At Bury St. Edmunds 6d. advance was made, Suffolk thus eonfirming Norfolk advices of the previous day. London, the last market before Christmas, was without business, the fog rendering inspection of samples next to impossible. The Scotch markets reported a fair sale at full prices for home-grown wheat. On the day before Christmas very little business was done anywhere, but Leicester reduced prices 6d per qr., and Lincoln asked if anything rather higher terms. Bristol was without change. The markets of Saturday were few in number, most centres of importance being either closed, or having holi a small retail market on Thursday. There was English wheat at Warminster selling as low as So,s., and a few lots at Bristol were parted with at 28s per qr. Well may the Board of Agriculture qualify their estimate of the home wheat crop with the sentence, warning us that the reports from a large number of districts indicate that the corn crops generally are inferior in quality and condition, and that an unusually large proportion of grain are shed in the fields." Foreign wheat and flour have sold slowly. On Tuesday HuH was 3d. lower, but Liverpool supported quotations. London was steady on Wednesday, but Glasgow and Edinburgh were 6d. cheaper both for wheat and flour. Birming- ham, Bristol, Gloucester, Manchester, and Plymouth quoted on Thursday unaltered rates, but Leicester favoured buyers, The great port markets were closed on Friday and Saturday. The trade in spring corn has been in buyers' favour. For barley 12 markets out of 28, for oats 9 out of 21; for puhe 12 out of 23, and for maize 16 out of 18 have been of that tenour. The total proportion which these figures give, 49 to 41, does not show any serious weakness, and with the cessation of aIlIRussian arrivals of lbarley, oats, and maize there is a certain natural tendency of the market vessel to right itself. The change to mild weather may, however, postpone recovery. The quantity of maize on passage is 229,000 qrs., against 260,000 qrs. a week ago of barley, 218,500 qrs., against 211,000 qrs.; of beans, 26,000 qrs., against 24,000 qrs.; and of linseed, 145,000 qrs., against 171,000 qrs. There is no uniform tendency. but the reductions exceed the accretions to the total prospective supply. Last week's imports into the United Kingdom included 70,000 qrs. of barley, 106,000 qrs. of oats, and 91,300 qrs. of maize, against 80,000 qrs. of barley, 62,150 qrs. of oats, and 101,200 qrs. of maize in the week preceding. Of last week's imports, 12,634 qrs. of barley and o3,198 qrs, of oats were received into London but out of 91,300 qrs. of maize only 610 qrs. entered the metropolis. The Government estimate of the home crops of barley and oats puts the former at 72,129,095 bushels, or 3414 bushels to the acre, atid the latter at 112,386,261 bushels. or 38-77 bushels to the acre. The yield of barlej seems to be very liberally estimated, but that of oat. agrees closely enough with previous trade estimates.-Mark Lane Express.

« 'ó MARKETS. CORN. CARDIFF, Saturday.—English wheat-fine quali- ties made last week's prices; inferior were neg- lected. Foreign nominally the same as last week, but trade dull. Flour in buyers' favour. Maize Is lower. Barley dull and drooping. Beans and peab firm. GLOUCESTER, Saturday.-English wheat was in small supply, and the best samples maintained late rates. Foreign dull, and to make even retail sales a reduction of 6d per quarter was necessary. Grinding barley the turn lower. Maize Is cheaper. Oats sold at 3d less money. L0NDi>M ^There was a small atten- dance at Mark-lane this afternoon, and very little demand for wheat. Long New Zealands were quoted at 4os 6d; short New Zealands, 44a Gd; good Australians, 45s 6d; Persians, 42s; club, 39s. There was no change in flour since the opening. Maize continued firm owing to scarcity, but the demand was not active. Barley was quiet. Oats were slow. White Canadians and magpies, 20s. The market was affected by the holidays. CATTLE. LONDON, Monday.—The supply of cattle was small, but adequate to the demand, which was restricted. Trade was slow at about previous rates.

TITHE AGITATION. The following letter from Mr W. Pioton Evans solicitor, to the Clergy Defence Association, Cardigan, has appeared in a contemporary. SIR, My attention has just been drawn to the report of the Nonconformist Farmers' Defence Association submitted by Dr. Enoch Davies to the meeting of the South Wales Liberal Federa. tion held at Cardiff on Wednesday, the 16th inst. In this report it is alleged that the passing by the Tory Government of the Tithe-collecting Coercion Act had not the least discouraged the farmers, but, on the contrary, had made them still more determined to resist the unjust tax." For the purpose of dispelling any wrong ideas on this head, I send you the results in tithe- collecting under the new Act in the parishes of Troedyraur and Penbryn, two parishes in Car- diganshire which obtained such a notoriety for lawlessness during the tithe agitation. In the Newcastle Emlyn County-court since the new Act came into operation the number of plaints ei^-etif *rom parish of Penbryn has been 51, which have been disposed of as under.—Paid into court on service of notice of application. 8 Paid Bailiff without distraining. 27 Receiver appointed g Still pending 8 Total 51 From the pariah of Troedyraur the number of plaints entered were 20, which have been disposed of as under .— Paid into court on service of notice of application 6 Paid Bailiff without distraining 11 Receiver appointed 3 Total 20 ml- r* x nese ngures spaak for themselves, and will put the public in a position to judge how far the other allegations set forth in the report can be relied on for accuracy. In further contradiction of the allegation that the farmers "are still more determined to resist the unjust tax," I may say that the farmers who made themselves most conspicuous in resisting the payment of tithes prior to the new Act in these two parishes have since the new Act been the first to recognise its power by paying their tithes immediately upon receipt of the notice of applica- tion through the court. I am, &c.

GLADSTONIAN FACTS. The following letter appeared in a recent issue of the Times Sip.The Gladstonians are distributing all over the country a leaflet headed The Cost of Coercion," which contains the following words "In 1878, when war with Russia threatened, we had 109,201 soldiers at home. To-day we have 106,767 For what purpose ? To coerce Ireland. In 1885 we had only 91,579 in 1886 we had 98,057. Coercion is thus responsible for an increase of 8,710 We have 30,000 troops in Ireland, who annually cost us £ 2,250,000 As Mr Gladstone has worked it out, the home service charye for the Army is 16s per head of population in Ireland, against 58 per head in Great Britain That is to say, it costs about lis for every man woman, and child to collect landlords' rents and to drive the tenants from their homes." I need hardly say that it would be difficult to compose a more complete tissue of falsehoods, and those who publish it are perfectly well aware of this, but unfortunately a large number of the less educated portion of the electors take it for absolute truth, as they do every statement made by Gladstenians, and they believe that the population of Ireland are actually being charged 16s per head for the maintainance of troops there, while the English only pay 5s per head. They have not the smallest idea that the charges for the Army are provided out of one consolidated fund, and that as far as taxation goes it would not make the slightest difference if every soldier were quartered in England, Scotland, or Ireland. It seems almost childish to have to notice these falsehoods, but if they are left unnoticed they are believed. Gladstonian orators are very fond of dilating on the number of troops quartered in Ireland which they variously estimate at from 30,000 to 40,000, according to the humour they happen to be in. The facts are these—the average number of troops in Ireland in 1872, was 27,000 in 1882, a little over 29'000 and on September 1 last, 27,600. In no other year than 1882, at any rate since 1861, has the average strength reached 28,000. The force at home is regulated by the force we have to maintain abroad, and troops are quartered in Ireland because we have not barrack accommodation for them in Great Britain. The real excess kept in Ireland is cavalry, and they are kept because it is cheaper. The Government are quite willing to reduce the force in Ireland, but the population resent any reduction of troops as a direct reduction of in- come. The War Office is flooded with petitions the moment such an idea is mooted. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. A UNIONIST. December.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND THE GENERAL ELECTION. The following letter from Mr Chamberlain was read at a Unionist meeting at Ruabon last Monday night Highbury, Moor-grern, Birmingham. Dec, 26 ■'SIB, I have received with pleasure tbp copips j Hie res.-lutio? s hy the Unionist mfe'inj: a "lin ra 1 am ulid that y.>nr organisation j, aclivey promoting the discus-ion of political questions, and trust that you will have a successful demonstration on Tuesday, when my friend Sir Robert Cunliffe is to address you. The General Election cannot be far distant, and it will be one of the most critical in the history of this country. If, as I hope, the advocates of Home Rule are defeated, 1 believe that this mischievous policy, which will have been twice emphatically condemned by the people of Great Britain, will have received its death-warrant, and in that case both the great Parties in the State will be free to devote them- selves to the consideration and settlemeut of the urgent social end political questions in which the majority of the people have the greatest interest. If, on the other hand, the Separatist Party succeed, many years will be wasted in the barren effort to find a scheme of Home Rule which will be satis- factory to Irish agitators and at the same time acceptable to the people of Great Britain. During the whole of this time the progress of all other legislation will be stopped, and England, Scotland, and Wales will have to wait outside in the cold I while the un-easonable demands of the noisy section of the Irish people are being attended to. "lam convinced that the only chance for the speedy satisfaction of the legitimate claims of Welsh Nonconformity is to be found in the defeat of Home Rule, Every Welsh Dissenter who votes for a Gladstonian at the next Election votes, first, for the indefinite postponement of Welsh Dises- tablishment and land reform secondly, for the creation of a Roman Catholic domination in Ire- and, which will be dangerous alike to the civil and religious liberties of the Protestant portion of the population thirdly, for the desertion of his co-religionists in the province of Ulster; fourthly, for civil war and anarchy in Ireland, and for the absolute sterility of English and Scottish legis- lation. I feel strongly, as a Radical and Noncon- formist, that the continued alliance of the Glad- stonians with Irish Catholics and Home Rule is fatal to the progress of all the reforms in which I am interested, and I, therefore, earnestly desire Unionist Par'y-1 *"• & J. CHAMBERLAIN. T Owen Charles, Esq., Brymbo, Wrexham." Among the speakers at the meeting at which this letter was read were Sir Watkin Williams ?n^.e'loni8t candi<late for East Denbighshire, and Sir Robert Cunliffe, who was at one time the Liberal candidate for the Denbigh Boroughs, but who now belongs to the Unionist Party.

THE AMERICAN TIN PLATE MANUFACTURERS. The organization called the Association of American Tin Plate Manufacturers, which has never produced any tin plate for sale, has now decided that it cannot produce any till the present duty be made at least a cent per pound higher. The members of the Association are able to consider the advisability of asking the present Congress to increase the duty. There is not the least probability that Congress will grant the request if made. It is much more likely that it will pass a Bill restoring the rate as it existed before the Mc'Kinley Law was enacted. If the Lower House were to do this, however, the Senate would be likely to defeat it. The chances are therefore that the present duty will remain, with no prospect of the American production of tin plates.
