The Marquis of Salisbury's Utterances.

[Special to Frees Associatioh.} f Secetred Jena 21. &t 1.15 p.m.l LONDON, Jnri 2». Wheat. — The market is unimproTed. One cargo has been sold at Hamburg for 35s 6d. j Wool. — For the market up to date, ; 51,000 bales hare been catalogued, and 800 bales have been withdrawn. The attendance is large and the competition spirited. Opening ] rates are maintained, the advance in prices bringing Australian wool up to the level of prices obtained a year ago. Cape qualities are still 10 per i cent below the average. The Home trade is operating "more freely. The Conservatives will support th« | candidature of eighty-five Liberal Fnionists. Mr Gladstone's speeches in Midlothian urge that the issue of the Irish question must be either coercion or a Dublin Parliament. He is bitterly personal towards the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr Chamberlain, and condemns Lord Hartington'B scheme as having no finality. - j Berlin papers condemn the hoisting of the French flag at the New ( Hebrides as a breach of honour. They stigmatise it as an act of aggression which is evidently part of b sutured and far-reaching scheme. i Paris official journals justify the landing of French troops on the Islands. ; The St James QazetU considers If. ! <le Freycinet's language equivocal. It may mean that the French will discontinue hoisting the flag in future, but" not necessarily that they will haul it j <lojrn now. '• The Marquis of Salisbury, speaking ; last night at Leeds, said he would only coerce criminals in Ireland; but •] he was willing to concede local \ government, not only to Ireland, but | also to England and Scotland. He j criticised what he called Mr <

Gladstone* maudlin optionism, and repudiated all coquetting with the Parnellite party. The Time* characterises Mr Gladstone's speech as a specimen of audacious quibbling on a plain issue in the face of notorious facts. i^The testimonial to Herr Schnadhurst, a prominent Liberal organiser, kas reached .£IO,OOO. Armagh and Tyrone hare been ' " proclaimed.'* ! Special services in honour of the Queen's Jubilee were held in all the : churches to-day. ! Over 100 Colonists were present at Sir Alexander Stewart's funeral. The Queen and the Prince of Wales sent equerries and wreaths. The Colonial Institute and the Exhibition Commission we^ also represented. The funeral ceremony was conducted by Dean Fowler, of Sydney.
