(the member for Angle- sey), wrote:—"I am so sorry I cannot be with you to-morrow. I wish I could have been present to join in wishing good fortune to your new enterprise at Holyhead. A repairing yard is much needed, not only in the interests of the locality, but also to meet the requirements of the western coast. Mr Grayson proposed the toast of "The King," which was duly honoured. Admiral Burr proposed "Long life and prosperity to the firm of H. and C. Grayson, of Liverpool, and the s.s. 'Holyhead' In doing so the Admiral SHirl he felt quite confident that Messrs Grayeons wouid add a great deal to the prosperity of the town of Holy- h-ead-(hear, hear)-and he was equally sure that the trading community of the town would come forward and welcome the firm most heartily. They were well known in this part of the country-they were no strangers—and he' was certain they would receive a very hearty welcome from not only the business people but from the inhabitants generally. Mr Grayson had just built a fine house at Rhoscolyn, so t-Sat it was his evident intention to rceidj in the district (hear, hear). Mrs Grayson had already closely identified her- self with the work of the local hospitals and kindred institutions (ehtors). In responding to the toast, which was enthusiastical- ly received, Air i^iayson said lie was very much obliged for the way in which they had received the toast, a.nd was very gratified to find that such a large number had responded to the invitation, and that they had given up an hour of their valuable tim-s to attend first the inspection of the steamer and after- wards that little lunch. The presence of bo many of the tradesmen of the town augured well for the suc- cess of the new undertaking. Proceeding, Mr Grayson said "This is not the time or the weather for trial tripe, so we thought that ybu would appreciate more a lunch on terra firma than to be tossed about on the rolling biliows" (laughter). ''I lay no claim to originality in regard to this under- taking, because a service has for eome years been run by my friend. Mr David Williams, whom I am very glad to see here to-day. We are only following in his footsteps— 1 hope we shall do eo with some success (cheers). We hope very shortly to see Mr Williams in connection with his old yard when it has been laid out as an up-to-date repairing works. We are only awaiting the permission of the Ministry of Munitions to go ahead with our work. Upon looking through Lloyd's register I found it did not contain the name of a steamship called 'Holyhead,' and I came to the conclusion that I could do nothing better than name our little steamer after the town of which we are proud and which w-e like so well (applause). We hope tc run her regularly with your astiistance between Liverpool and Hoiyliead. There must be a trade be- tween such two important centres without interfering in any way with any existing arrangements at all. At all events, we are going to try it, and if successful will continue. The cargo arrangements at the other end will be in the capable hands of Messrs Robert Owen and Co., whilst at this end Mr T. Roberts, son of the late Captain lloberfcs, Lloyds agent, has been appointed manager (cheers). We knew his father very well and respected him in every way. We owe a great deal to Captain Roberts for his suggestions and valuable information with regard to placing a steamer on the berth here, and I should like to give this | testimony to his memory (hear, hear and applause). Mr Owen Jones, Bianifcy-etreet, said he wished to voice the feelings of the company in tendering to Messrs Graysons their best thanks for their kiiidiicbs in inviting them there that day. "When," said Mr Jones, "we heard you were coming to Holyhead we were delighted, and 1 am sure tnat in-e wnoie town is pleased to hear of the new enterprise which wo trust will be very successful" (cheers). Mr David Williams, C.C., in supporting Mr Jones, said "If we, as tradesmen, will do our share I have no doubt but that the undertaking will prove a great success. I hope we shall all do our very best to sup- port it in every possible way. Mr "GraysoS is doing his share; it only remains for us to do ours, and then wo shall find that the service will be kept up by not one but two steamers (hear, hear). Mr Davies (Messrs Robert Owen and Co.) said he was pleased to meet such a large gathering of Holy- head tradesmen. So far as the Liverpool end was con- cerned they need have no fear, the steamers would sail from the Mersey every Tuesday night, and he hoped the time would roOmc when two teamers would be required (hear, hear). Mr T Roberts, in response to calls for a speech, said he hoped the people of Holyhead would give the necessary support to the undertaking, and if they did it would be a big success (hear, hear). Mr Grayson was given three hearty cheers followed by the singing of "For he's a jolly good fellow." The catering arrangements were admirably carried out by Mrs Jones and Miss Roberts, who were person- ally thanked by Mr Grayson and others.

FARM NOTES. 7 I. bavere night irosts nave ruthlessly cut down all tender vegetation in South Lincolnshire. Nine de- grees were registered during the week-end. Potato made up to £8 per ton at Malton market. Retail lots ruled to Is 3d per stone, an increase of 3d per stone on the week. In the report on last week's markets the Board of Agriculture stated that prime quality cattle are again reported as being very scarce at all mar- kets, and, although it is by no means unusual to find a large number of half-finished beasts on sale at this time of year, the numbers this year are perhaps rather more pronounced, owing to the smaller amount of artificial food which has been used on the pastures during the summer. Trade shows a rather hardening tendency, especially for the better quality cattle; as much as 70s per live owt. was paid at King's Lynn for some Polled Scots, and at Wellington (Salop) for some prime-fed Hereford bullocks, while at the London market some good quality Herefs made 61s 4d, and some Irish 55s 4d, per live cwt. At Ipswioh neat stall-fed cattle were scarce and realised, very high prices. Taking the prices generally over all markets," the best quality Shorthorns have made on an average 133 5d per stone (Illd per lb.), or Id per stone more than the previous week. Sheep have easily maintained the better trade reported last week, prices in fact showing a slight advance, the average ra.te for the Pest quality Downs and Croes-breds being close on 1?-4d 'quality against 12d last week; ewes have also sold very well, several pens at Hull making as much as 100s per head. Pigs keep a very steady trade at prices similar to last week, in fact the Ipswich live weight quo- tation of 9s 5d per 141b. stone for best quality bacons shows an adva-noe of Id per stone. There have been some important cattle fairs held during the week, notably Leicester and Here- ford. At the foimer place about 1200 beasts were offered, the demand being keen for yearlings and two-year-olds, but rather slower for older cattle, while at Hereford the second quality cattle were in somewhat better request than the higher priced first quality animals; the reporter states that one lot of 70 two-year-olds were sold at L28 10s, while some yearlings m the second day of the fair made as much as F,24, per head. At the Shrewsbury special safe on Friday, the 13ib, trade was rather quiet, prices showing no particular change from the previous sale i a good many cattle, however, changed hands at prioe-s ranging from 42a to 60s per live cwt. Surrey Education Committee, who have released 583 boys from school attendance to work on the land, are prepared to consider applications in respect of girls who would take the place of their mothers engaged in agricultural work. In reply to Mr Ellis Davies, in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr Forster said inquiries were being made as to whether there waa any undue delay in making payment for wool in Car- narvonshire. In the meantime, he would be glad if Mr Ellis Davies would give him particulars of any individual cases in which farmers had been put to inconvenience by delay in the payment for wool already delivered. Lord Crawfocd desires to draw the attention of farmers to t-rfe "importance of ascertaining, when purchasing nut oako or nut meal, the kind of nut from which the cake or meal is made. Formerly, earth-nut or ground-nut (Araohis hy- pogea.) calve or meal was the principal cake or meal made from nuts and uaed as food for cattle, and the terms "nut" cake and "nut" meal" were generally understood as applying to this nmt. Recently, however, oocoa.nut and palm kernel residues have come irito common use. Since the outbreak of war other nuts have been introduced, and, as these new materials become available for feeding live stock nut oakee and nut meals of several kinds are likely to be found on the mM- ket, which may be expected to vary considerably in their composition, ch^moter, and uses. Far- mere should, therefore, insist on haying all such cakes and meals described on the invoice by a name clearly marking their origin.

FARMERS AND FOOD PRICES. _d (To the Editor). Sar,-Maiiy letters nave appeared in tne rrees roundiy abusing agriculturists for the rise in food prices and accusing them of greed. Is this quite fair? The public had: little or no sympathy with farmers during the period 1880 to 1905, when they were selling at below cost price, or at a very small margin of profit, and lost the greater part of their capiftal. For 25 years and more the public Tiae had the benefit of low pricce, and was fed largely at the expense oi the farmer. One is lost in admiration at the way the latter stuck it out and adapted themselves to cireums-3note. No doubt, for the last two years, farmers have been doing very well. No one should giTudige them a good time. They are but getting a feit of their own back. There is a point to wliich little or no attention has been called. Farmers are now enabled to acoumulato capital, sufficient not only to free themselves from the horde of people who are living on them, but to farm their land to its full capacity, and to pay their labour- ers the higher wages to which they are surely entitled. It is one of the first interesta of the Staite that farmers should be independent and prosperous. Sufficient capital with co-operation alone oan attain this object. The accumulation of capital by farmer's now will simplify many of the problems we shall be compelled to face when peace comes. High prices should be met by a general levelling up of wages, ajid by tho re- moval of the liquor temptation, not by requiring the producer to sell at low margin of profit. As a. general rule, a farmer puts back into his busi- mens anv profits he may have, thereby greatly in- I creasing the food production.—Yours, etc., I amig  STAPLTON COTTON. } I Plas Hwynon, Ulfair P.
