 The number of Feasts was larger, consequently trade was 

 fiPRvv and it was difficult to maintain late quotations. Some 

 mJtJot quill"* remained unsold. The supply of Sheep, 

 although W-er; was not excessive; however trade was dull, 

 2ml nrires had I ilven way. Lambs and Calves were lower.

The number of Beasts considerably exceeds the demand, and 



twice* generally are low, yet a few choice things still reach 



ts. 6d. Sheep and Lambs aro more plentiful; trade is. very 



heavy, and they cannot all be sold, although there is a dispo- 



sition to take even less than we quote. We have a very dull 



trade for Calves, at lower rates. From Germany and Holland 



we have 58 Beasts, 170 Sheep, and 191 Calves; from Spain,

MARK LANE] 

 Mowdat, Mat 5.— The supply of Wheat from Essex to this 

 morning's market was small, that from Kent fair, which was 

 taken off readily at prices about equal to this day week. The 

 demand for foreign is limited, and but little progress could be 

 made in sales: our quotations remain unaltered. — Barley 

 meets a fair safe without any improvement in price. — Beans 

 and Peas are scarce, and pell readily at former rates, — The 

 arrival of Oats is large, but their value is fully maintained.

Friday, May 2.— The arrivals of Wheat and Oats from 

 abroad are liberal, but of other grain and Flour, both English 

 and foreign, small. The attendance at market this morning 

 was thin, and the business done in Wheat limited, prices re- 

 maining nominally as last quoted.— For Barley, Beans, and 

 Peas there is a good demand at fully late rates.— The Oat trade 

 continues very firm.— The value of Flour remains unaltered, 

 but there is rather more inquiry for best marks of foreign.

TO ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, CONTRACTORS, &c. 



HARTLEY'S ROUGH PLATE GLASS, one- 

 eighth of an inch thick, weighing 2 lbs. to the foot, for 



RIDGE AND FURROW ROOFS, GREENHOUSES, 

 RAILWAY STATIONS, ENGTNE SHEDS, MILLS MARKET 

 HALLS, and Public Buildings generally. Specimens to be 

 seen at the Exhibition, in the extreme South- Eastern end of 

 the building, adjoining the United States department. 



It being universally admitted that Glass in Roofs of a per- 

 manent character should not be less than one-eighth of an 

 inch thick, weighing 2 lbs. to the foot, whilst any greater thick- 

 ness or weight is unnecessary, leading only to additional ex- 

 pense, Messrs. James Hartley and Co. have directed their 

 atteution to the manufacture of a description of Rough Plate 

 Glass that combines size and strength with economy of cost The 

 Patent Rough Plate, one-eighth of an inch thick, or 2 lbs. to 

 the foot, is manufactured in sizes expressly for Ridge and 

 Furrow Roofs, 62 by 18 inches, thus giving a span of 10 feet, 

 at a price not exceeding, weight for weight, that of common 

 Crown Glass. 



Not being transparent, blinds are unnecessary ; and, when 

 used in Greenhouses, no scorching occurs. Its non-transpa- 

 rency and strength render it eminently suitable for the glazing 

 of Conservatories and Roofs of all kinds ; also Factories, 

 Workshops, dec., for which purposes it is supplied in squares 

 of all sizes from 8 by 6 inches upwards. 



For further information apply to any respectable Gla3S Mer- 

 chant in London or the country, or to the Manufacturers. 



N.B. The Patent Rough Plate is also manufactured 3-16ths 

 and I inch thick, and can be supplied at a much lower cost 

 than the common Rough Plate.
