Western Bank Of Scotland.—Between .£20 A...
Western Bank of Scotland . —Between . £ 20 and JE 30 per share will be returned to those shareholders who paid in full the caHs , Of course those who compromised' will not participate in this return . On 'Change , at Glasgow , on Wednesday , Western Bank shares were considered worth £ 30 . —JVbrth British Mail . . ' . '" . ¦ . ¦ ¦¦ ¦' ; ' American Grain . —A letter from Torpnto says : — " It is estimated by our best , judges that the stock of flour and wheat on hand in the . seaports of this continent will barely suffice till the end of July ; arid if there is nothing more to be expected from the interior , grain must bo imported" from' Europe . There is , however , no means of estimating what may yet come from Illinois , Wisconsin , Indiana , and Ohio , all of which great grain states had , it appears , good crops of wheat .
The Mineral Trades of South Wales . —Both the iron and coal trades , the staple productions of South Wales , show increased firmness , several large orders both for home and foreign consumption having been received . Railway iron continues steady , and various French orders are being supplied , and as the stocks in the hands of the consumers have been reduced to thelowest point they are no w beingcompelled to buy . Steani coals meets with a steady sale at improving rates , and an increasing demand is apparent owing partly to the satisfactory nature of the late experiments . Coal for house consumption is also sold freely , and in the Aberdare valley a-move from the recent severe depression is apparent . The revival of trade is affording increased employment , and various improvements and extensions are being parried on at some of the works . The mineral field at Penydarren has been sold to the Dbwlass Iron Company . ¦ . • ¦ 1 '< i , '
. . . ; Society of Arts . —At the last weekly meeting the paper read was " On Trade Marks , " by Professor Leone Levi . The author pointed out the importance of the British manufacturer continuing to maintain the high character he had gained in the markets of the world , and for this purpose it was necessary not only that no deterioration should take place in the quality of the articles produced by him , but also that no idea should gain currency that such deterioration had taken place . It was , therefore , of the first importance that their marks should never be placed upon goods of an inferior quality ; but , unfortunately , though there was no fear of such a suicidal act upon the part of the manufacturer himself , others , in many instances , imitated his trademark , and thus not only deprived ; him of the profits due to tlie merits of . His production , but , by selling an inferior article under his name , tended
gradually to destroy his commercial reputation . The imitation of a trade mark was illegal in this country , though there were cases in which the law had been evaded , some of which were mentioned . It did not appear , however , that any material alteration in the English law bearing upon this subject was wanted ; but in some foreign countries such palpable fraud took place , owing to the imitation of many of our trade marks , that serious loss , both -of profit and character , was sustained . by the British manufacturer . The country where this might , almost be said to have become a system was Prussia , ancL the author showed various curious instances of the imitation of the marks of Sheffield" manufacturers and others by their > German imitators , the occasional mistakes in the spelling of English words and names making the imitation even more evident than it would otherwise have been .
Mediterranean Telegraph . — -Letters received by the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Cojnpany from their agents assume that the existing fracture to the cable between Malta and Cagliari will be found off Trapani , on the coast of Sicily . The damaged portion , when discovered , will have to be taken up arid a new piece spliced on , an operation which will probably not be completed for at least five or six weeks to come . Telegraphs a Part of our Postal Sttstem .- ^ - The House of Lords seems disposed to legislate upon
telegraphs or , at all events , to take telegrams into their consideration . Various returns have been called for , and the attention of the House has been repeatedly drawn to the desirability of making the Inland and Submarine Telegraphs part and parcel of our postal systqm . It is thought that greater development of tho telegraph system would result from this change than is possible under its existing conditions , while a low and uniform rate of charge would probably take the place of tho present high rates . .
Tin ? Bankruptcy Law .-t-A meeting of merchants and . other . ; traders took place on Tuesday , Mr . R . W . ' Crawford , M . P . in tho chair , upon tho question of tho amendment of ' the law of Bankruptcy . At a meeting in November lns . t a committee was appointed to consider tho bills introduced in Parliament by tho Lord Chancellor and Lord John Ruaseu . After a careful examination of the provisions of tho two Acts tho committee are of opinion that the Debtor and
Creditor Bill of Lord Chelrasford exhibits many deficiencies , and should bo firmly opposed , while they recommend a steady support to Lord John RuofleU ' a scheme , which it wns stated will receive some important additions . Tho committee also propose to refer the bill to a select committee , under whose superintendence every proper amendment m , fty be introduced . After a short disouesion , in the course of which the ovilai of the present system were forcibly pointed out by Mr . S . Morley and other speakers , a resolution was carded to present « , petition to Parliament , embodying the views of the committee .
