LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS. THE ROYAL WEDDING was signalized in Penrith yesterday by the display of flags, &c., from the old Church tower and various prominent places in the town, whilst a merry peal was rung at intervals during the day. FALL IN THE PRICE OF COAL. - The demand for house coal at Sheffield is extremely slack, and the agents of several collieries have reduced their prices to the extent of from 1s. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per ton. The opinion entertained by many agents is that by Spring, fuel will be comparatively cheap. KIDD v. TALLENTIRE AND OTHERS. - An act is now pending, and came on for hearing in London this week, (in which the above are the plaintiffs and defendants), having reference to the ownership of an estate near Renwick. MR. HOUGH, of Carlisle, is the attorney for plaintiff, and MESSRS. BLEAYMIRE and SHEPHERD for the defendants. The case has as yet not proceeded further than the examination and cross examination of two of plaintiff's witnesses, and will not be again resumed for some time. LEEDS LEATHER FAIR. - The attendance at this market on Wednesday was unusually large, but the business transacted was on a limited scale. There was a short supply of leather which found buyers at late quotations. Shaved and dressing hides were a shade easier to buy, whilst for heavy sole leather, there was no change. Heavy foreign butts and bends are from 1/2 d. to 1 d. per lb. cheaper; but English butts are quiet, though there have been some sales for forward delivery. Light common and shaved hides are in good demand, also heavy good common hides for harness. Shaved hides maintain their price, but common hides have receded a fraction. Kips are rather higher, but the demand for horse hides is quiet, and there is no change in prices. Calfskins of light averages are in good request. Horse butts, tanned for dressing, limed or in the hair, sell immediately on arrival. The demand for kip butts is much improved. Levant is better to sell. Other descriptions of currier leather, quiet. =========================================== ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WESTMORLAND-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message This message has been scanned for viruses by MailControl - (see http://axis.eu.atkinsglobal.com/workinghere/itservices/Pages/dataandemailmgt.aspx#mailcontrol) This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.
