read it He submitted that the case should never have been brought into court After further discussion the Bench said thev had carefully considered the arguments and also the letter which on the face

over the river to Hanford Daring customer that he was reynard came back over tho watercourse taking his pursuers away right up to Springfield which is situated near to Trent Vale and

could not overlook the fact that the right to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina had been conferred upon Austria-Hungary not by a partial agreement with Turkov but in virtue of the Berlin Treaty It was therefore obvious that the right accorded to itui qnrl Pref Austria-Hungarv oould bo subie-ot'cn to no amendment without the consent of all the signatory Powers Finally the St Petersburg Canine found that the conferenee euld on no account be confined to the mere abrogation of Article 25 of the Berlin Treaty THE FUTURE CONFERENCE In this respect we had concludes the circular note to refer to the example of tlv: Iondon Conference when not only Articles 11 15 and 14 of the Paris Treaty were abrogated but a special agreement was also con-chided making changes in the International Act referred to Therefore the future Conference must in our opinion not only abolish Article 25 hut also supersede it with a provision defining the new situation in Bosnia Fortunately the possibility is now afforded of removing the difference of opinion between Russia and Austria in a communique addressed by tiie Russian Cabinet proposes a now modus procedendi whereby instead of a discussion of the matters in question at the Conference there should be previous negotiations between the Cabinets This modus in our opinion involves considerable inconvenience chiefly because it is complicated and calculated to conduce to delays Still We can on the other hand not deny that it is calculated to remove the danger of too acute divergencies at the Conference The Russian Government is animated by the desire of expressing its conciliatory sentiments and is not disposed to make any objection to the proposed modus Should the Powers notify their readiness to agree to the modus the St Petersburg Cabinet will not fail during the following negotiations to pronounce its opinions concerning those points in the Conference programme which especially interest Rnenns Ayres nt Rosario Jhiens Avrw Wtorn (Vntrfll

however were not so plentiful as in forme years The bulk of the mistletoe for sale came from Hereford and there was little French produce on th market Tiie stallholders were early astir but business was not brisk at Ihe start Poultry was not plentiful There was a scarcity of turkeys The prices ranged from 9Jd to lOjd for geese while dressed turkey were making from Is 2d to Is 4d a pound In the shambles there was a good supply of beef and pork The fish-stalls were welj stocked but trade war quiet BURSLEM Quite early this (Thursday) morning the sta-11 holders in both the Burslem meat market and the vegetable miTket were busy decking out their stalls with tilings of good cheer for the Christ mast-id-' There were some first-rate specimens of beasts in the meat market and whereas 1 hoc: who can afford to do so will indulge in turkey geese it was apparent by the large stocks of beef mutton and iork that a ready sale for these staple articles of food is anticipated this evening In the vegetable market there are stalls of ail stalls with holly ivy and mistletoe stalls witli croekery-waro and stalls upon which acr ladM numerous kinds of sweets and confectionery LONGTON Longton Covered Market which is the largest of its kind in tiie district is to-dav (Thursday) tiie scene of a very animated Christmas sale The building presents an attractive and seasonable appearance with tiie stalls laden with prime joints of meat a choice selection of turkeys and geese and a multitude of toys and Christmas decorations The market opened actively and the stallholders looked forward to a very successful time The prices during the early part of the day were regarded as very satisfactory Best joints of beef fetched 9d a lh and sucking pigs sold for 8d 1 sir lb The turkeys which were plump birds realised up to ls 2d ier lb dressed and lid in tho feathers Geese fetched 10(1 per lh dressed and in the feathers Pucks were sold at enhanced prices and were nice birds The figure reached as high as 5s sd each Fowls were up to 6s a couple Butter was from ls 2d to ls 4d per lb cheese 8d and S)d and eggs 6 and 7 a shilling There was a ciowded attendance during the day The tradespeople of Longton who have vied with each other in arranging their shop window attractions have produced some charming displays and look to trade bringing them good returns There is the prospect for a busy Christmas eve NEWCASTLE A special Christmas market was held to-day (Thursday) in Newastle as in most other towns There was a good supply of meat poultry and a brisk business was done during the day This year beef has been bought at Id or 1 a pound more than last year owing to scarcity and it has consequently slightly increased in price tiie best cuts fetching 9d a pound The beef is well up to the standard of other years as far as quality is concerned ami a great deal of that being sold in the town was bought at local markets such as Newcastle Stone Market Drayton and Hodnct The butchers seem to be going in less of late for the big fat gaudy beef that was made so much of a few years ago and to bo going in more for a nice-cutting beef suited to the table Mutton is plentiful and the best cuts of mutton are realising as much as 9d There is a very good show of pork and a lot of little porkets arc to be seen in tiie shops This Ls somewhat dearer than last year and prime cuts vary
