British Grain Trade.
The Mark Lane Express of the 21st of
January, id its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: The great majority of
the markets, the proportion being probably
240 to 24, are content with the stationary
vahie of Englieh wheat. In London it is
still being offered at 25 Ild per quarter
above the imperial average. Foreign wheat
is unsettled, To London, Liverpool and
Mancheetet prices have fallen ad per quar-
ter. At Bristol and Belfast values are 6d
dearer. Flour has advanced 6d per sack for
ordinary bakers'. The tone of the American
flour trade is strong. The home deliveries
of wheat flour will not exceed 130,000 quar-
ters. In the spring corn trade prices favor
sellers. The denuand at Liverpool is good.
The value a.f corn \en the spot there has
risen 5d per isental. .1

The Midland Free Press says of the Ethel
Armstrong concert Company: Those who had the
gOod fortune to be preeent at the Telgmann•Arin-
strong concert enjoyed a rare treat indeed. Mr.
Telgusann played an overture on the piano with
such ease and finish as to elicit the greatest aplause,
while Miss Jackson won golden opinions directly she
appeared on the stair°. With natural grace and
dignity and the most perfect self-pogsesion she took
her place before the audience. Her masterly rendi-
tion of "Jack the Fisherman," "The Elf Child" and
" How Reubenstein playedon the piano" marked her
as a dramatic r ader of a' very high order, and was
worth more than double the price of admission.
Ethel Armstrong won the hearts of the audience at
once and during her rendition of a violin solo a pin's
fall might have been heard. Should this company
revisit Midland the monetery condition of the town
will be at a very low ebb, if the hall holds the crowd.

of novelty upon their faces, and in their composition.
