siderable concessions. The Caledonian Railway are well off. They have got nearly all they wanted without having the responsibility of a guarantee. British was comparatively steady at 658. It is quite evident that the operators are waiting the outcome of events.
The chief talk in Oil circles was the dividend of oung's Paraffin, at the rate of 7 per thls was exPectJ. the price was steady Oil shares remained firm. In Golds Cassels attracted a fair share of attention, at least there were a lot of persons selling. The starting price was 48s 6d, Is down, and the close stood at 4(5s. There are some selling who are qnite content with the profit they have received, while otheis who don't hold the shares say that they won't look at them.
The other day there were whispers going the rounds that Polloks were good to buy. When these reports are in everybody's mouth some think that is the time to sell. The price started to-day 3s dearer, at 21s, and concluded at 19 6d. Tinto declined at 18i, but Tharsia remained stationary at (i 6s fid." In the Miscellaneous section Lnion Bank was unaltered at 21. Eastman was fractionally back at 20ft.
Glasgow Cotton gained at 6j. Americans were cheaper, consequent upon the advices received from the other side. However, the downward movement was a little arrested in the afternoon. Canadians also slipped back a bit, and like Yankees recovered a little of the lost ground in the afternoon. Young's Paraffin have intimated a dividend of 7 per cent.
The following were the quotations at the close ot the market The large shin Liverpool, presently diseha-- at this port, has been chartered to leTdrf timber at Fredenckstad for Melbourne.

London. Friday Evening. Quietness was characteristic of the Money market.
There was plenty of money, and very little doinj: in it cither in shape of loans or discounts. The tendency was rather weak. Short advances could be had at 1 to i per cent. Borrowers were not numerous, nor were their wants at all heavy. As regards discounts, not many hills were offering.
Three months' bills were done at 1 to 2 iei cent. Paris Cheque Exchange is 25.15. Business on the Stock Exchange has been fairly animated. Speculation for rise keeps up, being stimulated by cheapness of money. Chief attention has been given to British Railways, hut most other departments were steady, and the close generally was good.
Consols show further improvement, closing at 98i to OSg for delivery, and 983 to 98i for account Two-and-Thiee-Qnarters Per Cent. Childers, 99 to 994 Ter 95 to 954 Local Loans Stock, 1021 to 102.

A ood business done in Italians. Greeks steady. Titers has been some speculative buying of "Mexican" which close at 98. Buenos Ayres Cedulas weak, and to 1 down. The feature of the English Railway market has been the demand for heavy lines, owin- to the prospect of conversion being considered to have become much brighter.
The chief dealings have been North-Western and Midland, both of which have been quoted quite 1 per cent, up but Great Western an.l North-Eastern, though less influenced, have not been neglected. Scotch stocks were comparatively neglected, and were at times weak. Great Eastern rallied. Brighton A stock fluctuated very quietly. Chatham stocks and bouth-Eastern A have not been excited to-day by the prospect of an arrangement being come to between the two Companies which will result in an annual saving of 100,000, but the tone was steady.
Metropolitan District and Hull Barnslcy were tolerably firm. As regards Canadian Railways, there has been a continuance of the demand for Canadian Tacifics, which have further risen J. Grand Trunk Preferences, on the other hand, have declined to on realisations. DUNDEE TRADE REPORT. Fbidat.
The improvement reported in the Jute departments of the trade oa Tuesday is quite maintained, and a steady extent of business has again beea concluded iti Yarns and Cloth at rather firmer rates. To-day a further advance was asked, and this to some extent interfered with the buying. Manufacturers and spinners are, however, now well foresold, and the position of the trade at present looks better than it has done for some time. Tbe advices from Bueaoa Ayres are not so satisfactory to-day, it being reported that some of the importing houses are in difficulties, and, in consequence, orders for Hessians are being cancelled here. In the Linen trade, makers of cloth for shipment are moderately well engaged, but the inquiry from the home trade is still rather slow, while Flax and Yarns are very quiet indeed.
Flax, Tow, and Codilla. Little or no business is reported either in goods or for shipment. Supplies continue to come in from the Baltic very liberally, and these fill spinners' hands, so that until stocks get worked down somewhat no great extent of buying will be gone in for. Ritra is reported sold at 18 for and filG 10s for Hoffs c.Lf., and Pemau at 24 for Livonian f.o.b. Jctb.
In London a considerable number of transactions hare been carried through at advancing prices, and the demand still continues active. Here, both on spot and to arrive, the business concluded since Tuesday has been large, and quotations have gone up from 2s 6d to 5s per ton, thebest first marks being now quoted at 15. Among the sales reported are Double Triangle RAI-2, at 16 5s; CJ-B, at 11 and Diamond at15 5sci.f., dock; also. Circle BB.M, at 14, January shipment Circle at 14 15s and Circle Bullnbs, at 15, February, In new crop there is no fresh business reported. For the range of fine first marks 16 is quoted, but that price is considered too higu in the meantime.
Yarns. Flax and Tow sorts are still moviug off in small quantities, and some sales are reported at very low rates. Foreign wet spun wefts are also selling steadily. Jute Yarns have again been sold to some extent at rather higher prices, but a further ad var.ee now insisted upon is cheeking business. Common 8 lb.
weft cops have been sold at Is 5Jjd, Is oJd, and Is fid per spindle, and there is nothing now obtainable under the top price quoted. Linbns. A tolerably fair inquiry continues to be experienced for shipment at the rates lately ruling, but in the home trade things are inclined to languish a little, the orders being booked hardly taking off production. Sailcloth is without any change. Jute Fabrics.
Hessians are still moving off steadily, the demand for the lighter weights, more especially, keeping up well. Prices are very firm, and may be quoted 2d for light goods, and i to 2 jd for TO'j oz. 40 although tho tap price named is not being freely paid. Bagging is iu more request and dearer, but there is little doing in Sacking and Tarpauling. Caledonian, 124 8 I Cal.

The Court regarded the case as far from free from elements of suspicion, but as they could condemn no man on mere suspicion, and as they did not find it proved that the failure of the captain to notice that the ship was sinking caused the loss of the ship, they declined to deal with his certificate. The Dundee tailors have refused to compromise their present dispute on the understanding that they would receive an advance to 5jd per hour on the new log. They hold that by accepting it they would be in a worse position than before the strike began.
Mr James "Will, who, as a member of the city police force, was on night duty on the High Street for the long period of 30 years, was yesterday presented with a silver watch and gold albert by the shopkeepers in the centre of the city. A deputation, representative of Forfarshire and Perthshire will likely meet Mr Chaplin, President of tbe Board of Agriculture, in regard to the restrictions imposed against the importation of United States cattle. The trial "William Dickenson and his wife at the Liverpool Assizes yesterday for the murder of the female prisoner's child at Ince was not concluded. The missing keys of the house 126 Portway, West Ham, in which the dead body of Amelia Jeffs was round some months ago, were discovered last night by a tenant, Mr Bitten, between bricks at the top of the house. Mr Gladstone addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting in the Agricultural Halt, Norwich, last night.
He denied that the Government had received any considerable obstruction, and said the Opposition had supported the good measures, endeavoured to strengthen the weak ones, and only strenuously opposed the bad ones. In this last category he enumerated the Irish Land Purchase Bill and the Compensation to Publicans measure. This last Bill, he promised, would have the consistent opposition ef himself and tbe whole Liberal party. Last night the members of the Perth Students' Union held an Home, "at which Mr C. S.
Parker, M.P., spoke, aud presented gifts to Mr Munro for his services to the Union and for promoting educational matters. Yesterday in the Queen's Bench before Justice Cave and a special jury Arthur Newton, solicitor, and Fred Taylorson, his clerk, were charged with conspiring to defeat the fends of justice iu connection with the Cleveland Street scandals. Newton pleaded guilty, and sentence was deferred. Taylor-son was discharged. MR GLADSTONE IN EAST ANGLIA.
The enthusiastic greetings Mr Gladstone received yesterday failed to elicit from him any important declaration on the political questions that are at present under discussion. No new gospel was delivered to the expectant crowds who listened to his speeches. On the contrary, the ex-Premier's audiences had to listen to recapitulations of the lessons Mr Gladstone draws from recent bye-elections, and to repetitions of the terms of abuse he so frequently employs against his former colleagues. These familiar oratorical efforts wero varied ly slight references to two more modern topics. One of these was the conduct of business in the House of Commons, antl the other was the proposal to give compensation to publicans for licenses withdrawn.
In connection with the first Mr Gladstone gave evidence of a somewhat uneasy state of mind. He is very anxious to let the electors know there is no obstruction in the House of Commons. So vehement were his protestations that it is riot improbable he will defeat his own purpose by drawing public attention more closely to the tactics pursued by the gentlemen who sit on the Opposition benches. It can readily be admitted that Mr Gladstone is not personally guilty of wanton obstruction, but it is impossible to include his followers in this admission. An excellent illustration of their method of working is to be found in the report of last night's discussion on the Budget Bill.
Irishmen believe they have a grievance, and, as their custom is, they have not been slow to tell the Government about it. Nobody can object to this proceeding on their part, but it is not easy to understand why they should have the active support of Sir William Harcourt. It may be taken for granted that Mr Parnell and Mr Healy were quite well able to state their own case. The intervention by the temporary leader of the Gladstonians on this occasion is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that he was silent when it was urged the other night that Scotland's voice through its representatives should be accepted as decisive on a point connected with the same subject. Scotsmen need not look for any assistance from Mr Gladstone's present following, though Irishmen readily obtain it.
In the circ*mstances, there is certainly room for the suspicion that Gladstonians are actuated by motives of antipathy to the Ministry rather than by a genuine desire to secure the best legislation possible. All Mr Gladstone's professions avail nothing when compared with the statement made last night by Sir William Harcourt. Mr Gladstone's eferences to the licensing proposals amounted simply to a fresh declaration of the sentiments he expressed the other night in the House of Commons. On the whole, his speech is one of the most disappointing he has ever delivered. The Court which sat The Loss of the to inquire into the S.S.
Newport. loss of the s.s. Newport, of Dundee, have not dealt with the master's certificate. But the Court are of opinion that the master was in default in failing to notice that the head of the ship was going down the moment he came on deck. They regard the case as far from free of elements of suspicion.
hey more particularly refer to the unexplained removal of the pm from the iron rod that held up the sluice, the consequent opening of which sluice allowed the water to pass from the forehold to the engineroom. The Court, however, observe that they cannot condemn a man on suspicion. Thev do not find it proved that the failure of the captain to timeously notice that the ship was sinking caused her loss. It cannot be said that the Court have been too harsh in their judgment in the case. Indeed, those composing Board of Trade Courts of Inquiry seldom err on the side of severity.
Their powers are not great, and they know it. Of course, so far as this particular inquiry is concerned, the very expression of a suspicion that there had been neglect on the part of the master is a not inconsiderable punishment, and the effect of the judgment ought to be a caution to him and others in nimilar circumatiaixces.

Those who send main coal to the Mediteiraucan ports expected to have done more by this time, but the steamer Asphodel, whicli made her trial run the other day. has left with over 400j tons of coal on board for the Mediterranean.
Values are to be 3d cheaper this week. The public works, however, are still consuming Urge quantities. As the miners are not working so regularly this week, supplies in some quarters have been more difficult to procure. It is stated that some Lanarkshire descriptions of coh! have been reduced as much as 2s per ton, and this, is distui bnig the miners' agents. Mr Heir Bardie is beginning a new agitation not for an increase of wagra, but 1 inst a reduction.

There is a falling off in the Continental demand, and, though the shipments were very good a week ago, that was owin to a big lot going to Daly, and to navigation being opened up in the frozen waters.

01 Mason Si Uarry, i CLASGQW STOCK EXCHANGE. Glasgow, Friday Evening. Although the tone w.i generally quiet in the Glasgow Stock Exchange to-day, a fail business was done. Of course, in Home Lines, the chief talk was about Caledonian and British. The general opinion of the operators is that Caledonian has rc-lapsed owing to the profit snatchers adopting old tactics.
They believe tlutt the Conversion Bill the iiitpiiiy into which has finished so far us arguments ate concerned will be parsed by the Parliamentary Committee, and when that actually Likes place there will be a further advance. The price started to-day at 12 and the close was the best T25g. A feeling prevails amongst those who study stocks that the North British Railway won't accept the Parliamentary Committee's recommendations regarding the acquisition of the Glasgow and South-Western. If they accept the Committee's finding there will have to be made con TO-DAY'S PRICES. FLAX.

The prospectus is issued to-day of this railway, the entire length of which from its junction with the Canadian Pacific Railway at BraDtlon to the Peace River is about 1000 miles. It runs northwesterly thro igh the most productive portion of the great fertile wheat belt of the American Continent, which increases in fertility and suitable climatic conditions for agricultural purposes in a north-westerly direction.
It is proposed to issue 515,600 5 per cent, land grant mortgage bonds secured by first mortgage on the whole of the Company's undertaking, including the railway and equipment, antl at least of land. Exceptionally good returns are expected. THE FITCH TYPE-WRITER COMPANY, LIMITED. A company has been formed to acq aire the patents controlling the Fitch type-writer machino and all improvements thereon for the whole world, excepting North and South America. It is claimed that the machines can be sold at a large profit at about one-half the price of the best existing machines.
It is therefore to be expected that an extensive and immediate business will be done by the Company, and that unusually prompt and handsome returns will be realised by investors 111 this undertaking. It is estimated that an average of at least 5000 machines will be sold annually, which would enable the Company, after payment of the dividends on the preference shares, to pay 15 per cent, ou tiie ordinary shares, and a large return on each founders' shares.

The weather in Ireland just now is splendid for growing. Prices of flax in store are firm, but not much doing. Yarns meet a slow sale, and manufacturers deal only in small lots. Sticks of line yarns in spinners' hands are light. Prices nominally unaltered.
Tow sorts very dull, and prices weaker. Linens meet a inquiry, but sales not more numerous. A better cross-Channel trade is reported, but shipping orders are not coming iu as liberally as expected by this. Yousg's Paraffin Oil Company. Young's Paraffin Light and Mineral Oil Company (Limited 1 intimate that their books for the financial year ending 30th April, 1S90, after expending 13,107 17s Ud on maintenance and repairs and 427 lis for laud restoration, and subject to audit, show Profit on the, year's operations of 60,984 6s 8d, to which add the balance from last-year.
11,094 13s lOd, making a total of 72,070 0s 0d. From this sum the following deductions fall to be made, viz. Interest on mortgage debenture bonds, 0173 7s ld interest on per cent, convertible debenture stook, 5s 3d total, 25,017 12s 4d, leaving 46,161 8s 2.1. Out of this the Directors propose that a dividend of 7 per cent, be paid, in equal proportions, on 20th June and 19th December, which will absorb 17,325 4s (id, and leave a balance of Sd. Of this, it is recommended that 25,000 be written off agaiust the cost of 320 Pentland retorts, and auxiliary plant therefor, erected during the year, and this will leave the sum of 3S36 3s Sd to be carried forward to next year.
