Bishop Fraser on Trade Unions and Foreign Competition in Lancashire
The Manchester papers publish Bishop Fraser's long letter arguing that foreign competition and production costs threaten Lancashire industry. He cites iron and locomotive losses, foreign imports, and factory closures as signs trades unions must balance wage aims with national interests, urging reconciliation to prevent further decline. He notes a growing belief the strike may end soon as mills prepare to reopen.

Foreign meat supply restrictions misread by authorities
The Manchester Examiner argues that new limits on foreign meat cover more than cattle and extend to all foreign animals including sheep goats and other ruminants. It notes last year’s 872 159 imported sheep with only 2 990 diseased and questions the rationale for banning live movement at docks despite increases in German and French exports.

Balance of Sheep Imports Deficit Across Belgium and Holland
The writer notes Belgium and Holland share the same import position as Germany and Denmark for sheep. Belgium shows a 1877 deficiency of about 192,000 and the Netherlands about 150,000. Overall, an increase of roughly 162,540 is offset by a loss near 342,000, a point the Duke of Richmond should grasp.
