AGRICULTURAL NOTES. We have been favoured with ideal weather;. the rains and the heat of the sun have been most favourable to ail growing crops. The corn and the grass freely absorbed the moisture which fell, and yielded themselves to the forcing influence of heat following on the rain. It is too early yet to imagine, as some people have done, that the rains of this week have been the means of turning what promised to be an indifferent hav crop into a good one, and bringing the deficient crops of corn to at least an average condition. It is, however, certain that in this part of England the rains have been the means of raising to an average point the hay crop, and grass is in many places being allowed to stand a little longer in consequence of the growing character of the weather. In the southern counties, where the hay has been gathered in very small quantities, the rains have given a good start to the aftermath, and should this "dropping" weather continue for another fortnight or three weeks, it will soon be on the way to a second hay crop. There is likely to be little difficulty about feed for livestock, uniess, unfortunately, conditions entirely change. Wheat has benefitted considerably by the rain, and it will not be a matter of much surprise, should the harvest period be favourable, if we had an average yield the straw may still be somewhat short, but this deficiency will not be so great as at one time appeared probable. The barley crop has been set going, but there is a serious unevenness about it, which will probably prove to be irre- mediable. Oats also do not look so well as they should, although they show a better face than they did a fortnight ago; and the condition of peas and beans is much better than might be expected, after the droughty circumstances of the earlier season. The rain has started both mangolds and swedes, fields now showing a nice braird that had per- sistently refused to appear before the rain. The potato crop looks very healthy, and, notwith- standing the large quantity of old potatoes which still remain on hand, there seems to have been a full average area planted. The growing weather has, of course a forcing effect on weeds, which will demand prompt attention with the hoe. Another effect of the rain has been to get rid of insect pests, which have been rather more troublesome than usual, and amongst them the latest of which com- plaint is made is the red maggot in the wheat. In the hop country the vermin has begun to disappear from the plants, and if an ordinary amount of success is met with in keeping uown these pests, it is quite possible that there may be a good crop but in hops, as in other crops, it is price that is wanted. MARKETS AND PRODUCE. The tone of the markets, both for meat and corn, does not -k show any very striking characteristics. If we look at the grain trade, we find that any favour which the dry weather seemed to show towards holders of barley, oats, and maize has passed away in the face of the more growing weather. There is a slow market for Euglisli wheat, of which the stock in hand is larger than it was last year, though, perhaps, rather smaller than that of 1894. Nevertheless, trade is inactive, and there is no sign of a recovery of the slight fall of 6d. per quarter which took place last week. The last imperial averages show wheat to be about 8d. per quarter under the corresponding period of last year, barley 6d. under, and oats Is. ld. This is not an extraordinary difference in the values of the three leading cereals, but it is not pleasing to find that the difference is on the wrong side for the producer. Further, the prospects are such that prices are not likely to advance very much between now and our own harvest, although grain statisticians calculate that the prospects are more favourable to holders of wheat than to purchasers. The meat trade is showing a declining character, in some cases both sheep and cattle selling at 2d. per 81bs. less money. When we come to compare the prices of last year we find beef from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. under-prices then existing, and mutton show- ing a fall of 2d. The only quarter in which an im- provement is at all manifest is amongst pigs, and a more than corresponding rise is to be noted in the value of bacon. On the whole the meat trade can- not, be said to be in an improving position, and the sellers of fat animals have had a corresponding advantage in the price of stores, but the change in the. weather will quickly wipe out any slight ad- vantage which, under less favourable circumstances, they were able to obtain in the store stock market. With weather like the present there will soon be plenty of feed for as many stores as the farmer will be able to buy. HORSE BREEDING PROSPECTS. What are the prospects of horse breeders ? is a question which is now occupying the attention of those British farmers who include in their opera- tions the raising of horses. Many men have made a good pull" out of a specially promising colt, and many others do fairly well in a regular way with young horses. Those who seem to have a regular run of ill-fortune need hardly be taken in account when the general position of horse breeding is con- sidered. It is not any special danger from disease or ill-luck in raising that agitates the agricultural mind it is rather a question whether horse-breed- ing can be profitably continued. For a considerable time the British farmer has been assailed and become uneasy through foreign and colonial com- petition in horses, which has had the effect of reducing the prices of ordinary useful horses to a somewhat serious extent. This outside competition has become severe enough to suggest whether the days of horse-breeding had not already begun to decline, and the supply of motor power to vehicles in our streets intensifies the idea that it will to a large extent pass away from us, as has the produc- tion of meat, corn, dairy, and other produce. This rivalry is altogether put in the shade by the craze which has seized upon the people for cycling, fol- -1 the offers which are being made to put upon the roads all kinds of horseless vehicles. The British farmer regards most seriously this new I attack upon his industry, feeling that he is helpless in the matter, and has no means to combat it. He considers it, too, rather hard that one of the so- called champions of agriculture should be found on the Board of Directors of a horseless vehicle com- pany. The depreciation in the value of horses is not only observable in this country, but it is plainly admitted in America, where horses are at present both plentiful and cheap. The motor movement will be as great and as permanent an injury to agri- culture as that which has followed the introduction of unlimited foreign farm produce into this country. THE PRICES OF COB.N.

DEATH OF REV. VALENTINE LLOYD. We regret to chronicle the death of Rev. William Valentine Lloyd, M.A., F.R.G.S., R.N., Rector of Haselbeech, Northamptonshire, and chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Duke of Edinourgh), which took place at Leamington on the 17th inst., in his 72nd year. The eldest son of the late Mr William Lloyd, of Parteen Manor, County Clare, he was appointed a chaplain in the Royal Navy in 1858, and Naval in- structor in 1860. In 1879 he was appointed chap- lain to his Royal Highness Admiral the Duke of Edinburgh, and from 1880 to 1882 served in the Duke of Wellington's Royal Marines at Portsmouth. He retired from the service at the commencement of 1882, and the same year was presented by Mr C. G. S. Foljambe (now Lord Hawkesbury) to the Vicarage of Haselbeech, Northampton. Mr Lloyd married in 1850 Caroline Amelia Sophia, daughter of Captain John A. Aylmer, R.N., and sister of the present Baron Aylmer, and was raised to the rank of a Baron's daughter in 1867. He was from the commencement a member of the Powysland Club, being for many years one of the joint honorary secretaries. He was the author of The Sheriffs of Montgomeryshire," and many genealogical works, among them being the list given below. He was lineally descended from Sir Griffith Vaughan, Knt., of Garth, who was murdered at, Powis Castle in 1447. The Lloyds of Havodwen, or Marrington, are an illustrious Powysland family, who claim descent from Brochwel Ysgythrog, King of Powis, 7th century, the well-known arms of whose tribe was the Three Nags Heads erased." There is no man living who was better acquainted with the pedigrees of Montgomeryshire families than he was, and the Powysland Club has lost a member whose place can never be filled. The funeral took place at Chirbury on Tuesday, the service being conducted by Ven. Archdeacon Thomas and Rev. Prebendary Burd (Vicar). The Powysland Club was represented by Archdeacon Thomas and Mr T. Simpson Jones. The following works were from Mr. Lloyd's pen A genealogical Crux and solution: A Powysian at Agincourt; Pedigrees of Montgomeryshire Families, selected from The Heraldic Visitation* of Wales, by Lwys Dwnn, Deputy Herald at Arms; The Descendants of Dame Margaret Broughton, wife of Sir Griffith Vaughan, Knight, banneret of Agincourt; Lay Subsidy Rolls for the Hundred of Chirbury; St. Gennanus' Blessing or Prophesy of Perpetual Sovereignty to the Family of Cadelh Dyrnllwg, King of Old Powys; Owen Glendower in Powys- lancf; Notes on Humphrey: Correspondence; Some Early Incumbents of Montgomeryshire and Border Parishes; Sir Chas.

ITEMS FOR LADIES, '— If the Parisienne is dainty when the short dark days of winter are with us, how much more so is she when the buruing rays of Phoebus call for light apparel, for muslins and chiffons, delicate flowers and laees, everything, indeed, that is cool and fresh. Some of the lawn gowns are (Ieli,ious-itf) other adjective can be applied to theru—they have a cachet of simplicity that is perfectly charming and eminently French. Sometimes they are trimmed with Valenciennes lace—which falls in frothy billows on corsage, epualette, and sleeve. Nearly all the costumes have the little bolero jacket, which is quite short, stopping well above the waist; under the bolero the high corselet is almost inevitable, and is generally in folded black satin beneath the bolero a blouse of mousseline de soie, or lace, is worn, finishing with dainty rutfles at the neck. One lovely costume in Louis XVI. taffetas is of a soft sea-green. The corsage has a plastron of the taffetas incrusted with ex- quisite lace passing from back to front, and at the waist a high corselet of black satin. Still more beautiful is a robe of lavender gauze over white satin; the eoisage is cut with a yoke of white satin, veiled with guipure; round the yoke is a niching of gauze, on the shoulders panels of guipure, and a belt of metal studdied with large .1 turquoises encircles the waist. The fall of sleeves is a fait accompli usually the sleeve is very close-lit ting to above the elbow, and the puff is high. The skirt, almost plain, is satin antique in a lovely mother-of-pearl tone, the sleeves and short fronts being the same; the inside portion is pale green crepe de chine exquisitely embroidered in dull gold and sil- ver, the back similarly ornamented shows through an opening in the satin, across which is a lattice-like arrangement of renaissance braid, a mixture of dull gold and silver, threads this appears on the skirt, shoulders, and sleeves across pleatings of green crepe. A fold of black satin encircles the waist, and the parasol is green with masses of black chif- fon. The artistic Lamballe hat in coarse green straw is trimmed with bunches of pink an J yellow roses, a twist of multi-coloured tulle and very full black aigrette. The lovely little cape depicted was quite enchanting; it was in primrose taffetas silk; from the ruche round the neck gathered on piping the silk was lightly puffed down to the frills, these being very full and piped. A flat windmill bow in black velvet was arranged back and front, whilst all the frills were bound with narrow black velvet. Pretty Princess Maud is taking the greatest interest in her trousseau, and is, I hear, making some of it herself, although, as a rnle, she is no fond of any sort of needlework, but rather prefers out-of-door life and sports. I had the privilege of seeing a very elaborate piece of work which is to be presented to her by a small school where she is a great favourite. The tiny workers are even giv- ing up their free hours out of school. I hear, in order to have it finished in time. I suppose, after the wedding, we shall have innumerable things called after the Royal bride. Already I have seen two chic little toques and capes named The Princess Maud." One of these toques was one mass of smilax flowers and foliage, founded on a wire frame. A cluster of the flowers rested on the hair behind, and some upstanding ones formed an osprey at the side, which nodded gracefully at every move- ment of the wearer. The other was of soft white ostrich tips, which formed a feathery mass over the top of the head, finishing cff in front with two larger tips falling away from the centre, which was occupied by a white and black osprey and a tiny tuft of white paradise plumes. The capes were somewhat curious, two of them being made in tussure silk and one in white and black lace over a foundation of chequered black and white silk. The last one was formed of tiny gathered rows of alternate black and white chiffon, caught together at inter- vals and forming M's with jewelled black and white sequin trimming. The neck ruche was made of small black and white ostrich tips, made to stand up, with the tops of the tips turning towards the front and finished off with a large black satin ribbon bow. Inverness cape sleeves fell over the arms, made to correspond with the other part of the cape, and an edging of black and white tips went round the bottcm. One of the capes in tus- sure silk, was a simple circular shape coming to the waist, with a full ruche of the same silk round the threat and bottom, and lined with pale pink chine silk. The other one was rather more elaborate, and had a yoke of black satin, covered with grass lawn embroidery, dotted with black sequins; full ruche of black satin ribbon round the neck with grass lawn lappets edged with lace. One of the newest things in Paris is to have a fancy-dress pocket attached to the waist by a strong ornamental belt. These pockets are made in all shades and colours to match or correspond with the dress and very pretty the effect is when seen at a short disiance from the wearer. They are principally used to carry miniature fans, scent bottles, card cases, &c., and are fastened to the belt with a tiny gold chain, sometimes set with precious stones. The latest suggestion for bicy- clists is to wear sandals. I have no doubt, when looked at from a healthy and reasonable point of view, they would answer admirably well. The muscles of the foot and ankle would have perfect freedom of movement, and the feet would be decidedly cooler. In spite of these advantages, however, I fancy it will be a very long time before we see lady bicyclists in the park wearing sandals. A dress made of the finest and silkiest black silk muslin has the bodice most tastefully arranged with the belt and inner waistcoat embroidered with turquoises, and lightened with touches of old Valenciennes lace. A smart gown is of grey crepe de chine, with trimmings of white tulle, and: deep cream-coloured embroidered cambric handkerchiefs, trimmed with real lace. A fold of pale pink mixes with the folds of grey crepe de chine round the waist and ends in a bow under the full front. Another is of red and cream fancy canvas, with in- sertions of coarse cream lace, and the bodice finished with accordeon mousseline de sole and cream lace, with full folds of black and white striped silk at the neck and waist. Grass lawn has been made up by the acre, some of it embroidered in open work, and other gowns striped with satin in pink and green lines and made heavy and inartistic by sequin irrelevancies. The new linen lace appears on many of the Ascot gowns. A foulard with an ivory white ground and a design of tall mauve lilies inter- twined and forming floral stripes, has a shallow, wavy yoke of the linen lined with heliotrope and a shaped corslet belt of the same. But the rage is still tor grass lawn, and it is at its best with a fichu to match edged with narrow lace. A bodice in grass lawn is trimmed with three rows of blue ribbon covered with deep coffee-coloured lace, and surrounding the waist in slightly undulating lines. The sleeves, transparent and made of closely gathered green lawn, have this lace-covered ribbon winding round them from shoulder to waist, and are finished with a faill of the coffee-tinted lace. A deep collar of the lawn is cut up in deep points with insertions of lace between each, lined with blue. A frill of the lace borders the whole collar, and a little lace rises above the band of lace and blue ribbon into which the dainty collar is set. One of the prettiest trimmings for grass lawn and many other materials is the old-world one revived )f late, consisting of rows of narrow black velvet sewn on the frills. Tucks are again in fashion, but will probably appear more prominently in autumn, jeing rather heavy for the present weather.
