COURT OF COMMON PLEA&-FEB. 3.M

BROWN C. XY1116.-111'1317 AOCIIDZINT.
This was an action to recover damages for Shades sus-
tained by the plaintiff, in ooesequesso of his having
fallen into an excavation made whilst building the London
and Westsinfter branch banking-house in Holborn.
lb. M. Dawson and Mr. Oiffard appeared for the plain-
tiff; and Mr. O'Malley, QC., and Mr. Power for the do-
(=dime.
The plaintiff described himself to be a land contractor,
which he explained to mean a person who takes land on
lease and sub-lets it to others; and he stated that, when,in
London, he resided is Portpoololane, Oray's-inn-hins, WI, re
be end an old woman were joint truants of two rooms. The
defendant was a builder, and had been employed to build
the Making-house, in Holborn. The plaistiffa ease was
NM, shortly before 12 p.m., on the 7th of July, 1853, he
wee peeling along Holborn, a his way home. The night
wee a tempestuous one, and he stood up against the hoard-
ing erected outside of tho banking-house which the defen-
dant was building. In this hoarding there was a door, and
plaintiff, without perceiving it, leaned against it. Unfortu-
nately, it was not fastened, and it opened with the pressure
and the plaintiff fell inward into a hole, which had bee;
excavated to the depth of about twelve feet. He remained
there insensible for about half an hour, and when he came
to his senses be was being helped up by three poor women,
who were drenched with rain. He made the
best of his way hose, smothered with mud
and blood, and mortar; but how he was able to get
home he did not know, except it was "through fright and
the help of the Almighty." The old woman washed him,
and he want to bed and remained there for three days is
agony. He then got up, and at the end of seven days he
went to Mr. Clark, a surgeon, who found that his collar-
bone was broken, and some of his ribs much injured. He
remained under his treatment for about two months, and
incurred an expense of 121.
The defendant's case was that the accident bad not hap-
pened at the banking-house in Holborn at all. That
implies had been made of the police, the neighbours, and
at the Casino close by, and the premises had been inspected,
bat nothing could be learned as to any accident. That
some time before the 7th July it bad been found that the
door in question was not safe, and that on the 2nd July a
piece of wood kad been nailed across the door inside, so as
to keep it closed.
. . . _ .

The jary were of opinion that there wu not nfacient
evidence to show that the plaintiff had fallen into the hole
In (root of the banking-house, and so the verdict was
entered for the defendant.

with it short of the weight agreed upon, should have been

TAB 1101 IN V. IVZOON -1.111.43

The prisoner in this case had been tried and found guilty
of obtaining money under false pretences, under the fol-
lowing 4:intimateness :—He went to as attorney and re-
quested an advance of SOL on a ►oaae, itc., which he re-
presented he had built on some land of which he had a
lease. The attorney lent him the money on a mortgage of
'the premien in question. It was subsequently discovered
that no bone. was built on the land, and the indictment
was preferred. The question for the opinion of this eosin
was whether tha representations main by the prisoner
amounted to a false pretence.
Mr. Bell argued the case on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Hardy supported the prosecution.
The learned judges tuck time to consider their judgment.
Judgment reserved.

JURY.

lINACOMSI V. 0111102.N3.—8AL1 Or A NOM.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins appeared for the plaintiff; Mr.
Hawkins represented the Leiendant.
This was as action to recover the price of a brown mare,
fraudulently obtained from the plaintiff and gold to the de.
fondant without authority.
At the close of the ease, which repeated no particular
Interest, the learned baron told the jury, that although the
rule of law which made the man who bought an article take
the chance of it might, press very harshly on the Messrs.
Osborne, yet that rule had been in eliatenu a great number
of years, and it war found that the great 'commercial in-
terests of the country had derived advantages from it.
The jury returned 'verdict for the plaintiff—damages 304

ship. On the 23rd of January last when@ received a letter
by poet, purporting to toes from his old Island Harris, as
follows:
" Beckenham, near Bromley, Heat, Jan. 22, 1865.
ff Dear Sir,—Although many years have elapsed since I
bad fine the honour of year aequalstasee, I am yet in hope"
the very peculiar eirctunetanees under which I now most
reluctantly address yea will slightly plead an apology for
the intrados. It will probably he still in your recollection
I bed the pleasure to sone with you when semis lieutenant
of the nip Victor, I having been parser of that ship ; and it
is with deep regret I hen to eine that I as placed in a
situation of extreme difficulty and embarrassment. Some
time ago, in an unguarded moment, I was Induced to be-
come Joint security for a friend who, soon after dyiog in-
sole's*, I was unexpectedly called upon to pay a sum of
money such beyond my limited means to command. Law
proosedings wen in wens instituted and ex-
penses qnickly incurred, t to get clear of the
affair I was under the necessity of entering into
an agreement to pay my portion of the liability
and expensee—a part dome, and the nada' by quarterly
Instalments. In earning out this arrangement, my own
domestic pecuniary matters became in some measure neg-
lected, and my landlord, to whoa I am indebted, has
placed a distress in my hose for arrears of rent. The
former unfortunate business not only absorbed all my own
slender rescues., but obliged me to draw largely on the
kindstneof my friends for assistance to enable me to settle
it in the manner described—leaving me in the present
dilemma, without any available fund to meet this demand,
so harshly enforced, and which, if act arranged in a very
few days, the consequences to my family will be most dis-
tressing. In this emergency, presuming on old recoils-
tine, I venture to solicit your assistance with the loan of
61. for a few months, in which time I hope to surmount my
difficalty, and be enabled to repay you. I enclose a copy
of the distress alluded to, which I beg may be returned with
your answer; and as it is most probable I shall be under
the necessity of removing my ferrite from hese befere I
can native your kind reply, pleas address me, ' Poet-
office, Beckenham, Kent,' waiting which I remain, dear
air, your obliged old shipmate, Wm. ADAMS HAMM.
" P.S. I beg to apologies for being compelled to get my
nephew to write this letter, ea! am suffering from &severe
attack of the rheumatic gout."
Witness, on receiving this letter, remarked to Mrs.
Haines that although there were two or three eentenese in
it that did not look much like a shipmate's style of writing,
yet his dear, good-aatiered, old reload Harris was just the
sort of man to get into a scrape of this kind ; and therefore
he had no doubt it was a genuine letter, and at once des-
patched a reply in which he expressed his sympathy with
his in his present misfortune, reminded him of his having
been always too careless in money matters. and finally gave
him an order upon his agents, Mears. Stillwell, for the pay-
ment of the 51 requited. He returned the distress warrant,
as requested, in the same letter, which be directed according
to the instructions given in hie friend's supposed communi-
cation. Witness had no idea how his former connexion
with Mr. Harris became kaows to the prisoner, although
the Non List, of course, would show it.
Mr. Henry—lt Is very cleverly done, no doubt.
Capt. Wood, of the Mendicity Society, said it was an
"old dodge," and he held in hie hand at least a hundred
similar letters, couched almost in the same words, and ad-
dressed from se shipmate to another, the information being
always procured from the Navy Lie.
Mr. Stillwell, navy agent, of Arnodel-stnet, Strand, and
one of his clerks, proved that on the 27th of January the
prisoner called at the office and produced the letter of Capt.
Haines, addressed to Mr. Harris, end also a short note par
porting to be written by the latter gentleman, and autho-
rising Messrs. Stillwell to pay the sum mentioned to the
bearer (the prisoner). The prisoner was required to sign
a receipt for the money, which he showed greet reluctance
in doing, stating that be did not know if he was doing right.
Hie enlisters greatly resembled the pretended letter from
Mr. Harris, and Mr. Stillwell having a suspicion that there
was some band in the transactions, sent for a policeman.
He then paid the prisoner five sovereigns, and gave him into
the custody of police-constable E 144, from whom he after.
wards tried to escape, by netting away.
Mr. W. Adams Harth, of Howard-terrace, Stoke New-
ington, formerly the pans of the ship Victor, was called to
prove that the lettere written in his name were forgeries,
and the whole story of his " misfortune" absurdly fain.
The prisoner—I admit that I wrote the letter.
Police constable M 9 stated that the prisoner was in the
same division at the time of this occurrence, his number
being 100 He know the prisoner's handwriting, and could
say that the letters produced were written by him.
Superistendent Haynes stated that the prisoner was ad-
mitted into the C division of the police force in January,
1863. Subsequently he was transferred to the L division at
his own request, from which he wee required to resign in
April, 18.54. In November last, however, be was admitted
into the hl division. He had no authority to go oat in
plaia clothes, and had done so contrary to orders.
Captain-Wood mid if it was material he could produce
other letters written by the prisoner to the officers of other
shim. He had one in his band, addressed to the lieutenant
of the Inconstant in the same way. He coulu also prove
that the prisoner bad been the constant asociate of im-
postors, but always in private clothes.
The prisoner, in his deftness, said—ln the month of
September last I was anise in a public-house in St. Mar-
tin's-lane, when a man came and sat by my side, and said
my writing was so much like his clerk's, who was ill, that
he should like me to copy letters for him at Is. Bd. a piece.
I consented, and wrote about twenty, the names of the offi-
cers and shire being different in each letter, as supplied by
him. The letter I copied them from was dated 18.51. Bring
in the police, I told him I should not do any more for him.
but he said I must, as he could very soon get me out of the
police, if I refused. He said I must do him nine more, and
I did.
*r. Henry—Then the letters were all the same, except
as to the names of the ships and the officer.. Well, go e,n.
The prisoner—Where did I leave off?
The prisoner, on being informed, proceeded to finish his
statement, which was to the effect that he had continued to
work for the same person, meeting him at times in the Old
Bent-road, where he waited for the Beckenham carrier. He
(poisoner) at first refused to go and get the 61. for this man,
but ultimately consented, on the understanding that it
noted be the last transaction between them. The man
went by the name of Stokes, and lived at Greenwich, but
he could not find him.

The primmer, who said be wu 27 year of age, wu
then committed for trial at the nest Old Bailey sessions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

George Panelllsam, a private in the 3rd troop of Life
'Guards, wee charged with assault and wilful damage.
Yensef Ben Ibrahim, keeper of a cigar divan in the Hay-
market, said on Friday morning, about two o'clock, defen-
dant and two women came in drunk. He refused to serve
t►em, and is attempting to put defendant out the prisoner
wilfully broke china cups, saves, squares of gram, &0.,
valued at 21. 45., and also a large pier glue worth 681.
The defendant was ordered to pay the damage of vises,
cups, &c., and was fined 500. for the assault, which be paid,
and complainant was referred to the County Court for pay-
ment of the looking glass.

MESSENGER IN BANKRUPTCY SUSPENDED.-R
long investigation into the conduct of Mr. Harding, a mes
'eager of the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy, was
brought to a oonclusion, before Mr. Commissioner Jemmett,
on Thursday evening. The charges against bias were chiefly
made by the leading solicitors practising in the court, and
embraced fraud, drunkenness, and pecuniary difficulties,
which made it unsafe to place in his hands the funds which
necessarily fell to his keeping. The commissioner was of
opinion that the charge of fraud was not made out, and as the
charges of drunkenness included drunkenness in court, he
expressed his surprise that this had not been pointed out to
him at the time, when it must have led to the messenger's
instant dismissal. Hs could not peas over the strong feeling
of the profession against him, however, which led them to
say they could not safely entrust the warrants of that nourt
in his possession, and he therefore suspended 'Rim from
office ter twelve months, at the end of which, with proper
guarantees for future conduct, he might apply for re.instal-
meat is his °Mee.

THE AMERICAN Msn.B.—The British nod North
American Royal Mall Steam-ship Asia, Captain 8.0. Lou,
sailed from the Mersey, on Saturday forenoon, for Boston and
Halifax, with the usual mails for the United States and
Canada, 100 passengers and a full cargo of merchandise on
freight. The Baltic (United States mail steamer), Captain
Comstock, with advises Irom New York to the 24th ult., is
expected to strive at Liverpool this (Monday) morning.
GALLANT ATTEMPT TO RESCUE • SHIPWRECKED
Cnnw.—Yatutoorm, Faa. 2.—On Tuesday last, a brig was
observed to strike on the Barber Sand, off the Norfolk
coast. The Seratby and Caistor life-boats were immediately
launched, and manned by a hardy crew of 18 men each, to
go off to the assistance of the crew, bat before they eculd
reach the vessel, she had turned down as her broadside,
with her masts in the water. At this time, three of her
crew were seen in the main rigging, and-one in the fore
rigging. After much difficulty and risk, the life-boats,
which were now amongst the dihris of the ship, succeeded
in rescuing one man from each mast, but unfortunately the
remaining seven of the crew perished before succour could
be afforded them. A poor bey was seen in the rigging
crying for help, and the gallant men did all they possibly
could to save him, but he was too much exhausted to take
hold of the rope that was thrown over him two or three
times, and thin met with a watery grave. The vessel broke
up so soon, and the boats' service was executed so quickly,
that not an hour and a hell elapsed before the boats were
on shore again with the relined men. Several Jemmies of
humanity on the part of the boatmen occurred on the oft*
sion. Some of them stripped themselves of their own
clothes to put on the sufferers. The &rattly life boat was
provided by the seamen themselves, and the Royal National
Life Boat Institution has supplied It with a warp for haul-
ine off, which was successfully need on this occasion. The
institution has also, as was stated In the Doily New of
Friday last, granted the men • liberal reward for their
services in this instance. The vessel proved to be the
I Stranger, of Shields, bound to London with coals.

COTTON GOODS.
Manninonot, Fun. 3.—Ons market tontines inactive
and depressed. There are no indications of revival of de.
mend from the great capon markets of India, China, Aus-
tralia, and the United States? whilst tram the extent to
which the large production stall going on here disappears,
there is reason to fear that heavy consignments us making
to some of these quarters under adenines only on the pre-
sent unremunerative rates still farther to glut and depress
them. The only foreign market at present continuing to
exhibit much life ill that of the Levant, for which the
Greeks buy with tome activity, and their coatreets for low
numbers of water twist extend into March. Yarns show
more steadiness of price than cloths, but spinners coMplain
of mush difficulty in finding customers. The following
extract from the monthly circular of Messrs. Do Fay and Co.
shows the relative position se to price of cloths at the present
time, as compared with the rates prevailing a month ago
The state of the goods market will be perceived from the
following remarks:—While no transactions of any import-
ance have taken place during the past mouth in manatee-
Wed goods, 9-8 ihirtings in the lower makes are much the
same in price as last month; 66 and 72 reeds are lid. per
piece lower, but stocks are by no means excessive. 5.4
shirting', from 6 to 8 lbs. weight, are not in demand, but
prices are not much lower; some few makes can be had at
lid. to 3d. per piece lower than last month. 9.8 Madapol-
lams, though not abundant, are rather lower, and a entailer
to other goods is fast taking plan in them. In 7-8 printers
no change of importance has taken place, and some few
makes of the lower qualities keep in good request, even at
a alight advance upon former prices. 9-8 printers in the
better qualities, say 66 and 72 reeds, are dull of sale, and
lid. per piece lower, while much irregularity prevails in
tae lower description of 9 8 printer,. Domestics remain in
good demand, and prices are firmly maintained. T cloths
and loon cloths for the Levant keep in request, but there
exists an apprehension that the supply will ere long exceed
the demand, se many manufacturers have turned to the
production of these goods. Jacconets and cambric' are
not much inquired after, and have receded lid. per piece.
Velveteens are in good demand, with an upward tendency."
Notwithstanding the strikes and turn-outs of the past year
it appears that a larger consumption of cotton has taken
place in Great Britain than at any previous period, the
quantity in 1836 being 350,000,000 of lbs. weight; in
1846, 597,000,000; in 1852, 7445,000,000; in 1863,
734,000,000; and in 1854, 780,000,000. The increase upon
last year's deliveries to the trade of Great Britain,
Messrs. Da Fay and Co. observe, is 6 2-sths per cent.;
to Russia, Germany, Holland, and Belgium, an increase
of Si per cent.; to France of 31 per cent; to Spain of
2 per cant ; and a decrease to the trade of the United
States of America of 8 per cent. The increase of con-
sumption in this country, in the face of strikes and had
trade, is amounted for by the tact that manufacturers
have been much more generallyengsged on heavy fabrics
—fabrics in which more raw niatirial and less labour are
employed. Bo important is the difference in this respect,
that whilst 840 spindles will require upwards of 1,2601b5.
of rotten weekly to produce No. 20 mule twist, for heavy
cloths, the same number of spindles will require not more
than 2241 be. of cotton to produce No. 60's mule yarn for
lighter clothe. Letters from the United States speak more
confidently of a more active trade in the ensuing season ;
the preparations making here for that trade, however, are
not considerabie.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lnnue, File. 3.—There has
been a little improvement in the market to-day. There was
a better attendance of merchants at the cloth halls, and a
slight increase in the quantity of cloth that changed otunem.
The mills in the surrounding district are beginning to Mgt
short time, the manufacturers are operating carefully. sad
employment is b.coming rather scarce. The trade in the
warehouse has been very quiet during the current week.

HARDWARE.—SIIMINGIII.II, Fee. 3.—Trade here
still continues very much depressed ; the partial improve-
ment in the demand for o•r manufactures for the home
market, which we noticed • week since, has not been main-
tained, and many of the menufecturen are very badly off
for orders, as is evidenced by the eager manner in which the
merchants are besought to give out any which they may
have in hand. There are still none from the• United Stotes,
and from Canada the advices continua to he unfavourable.
The depression is general, the exceptional eases being but
few, and there is • general aoneurreace of opinion that
trade is in • worse state here just now than it hae been for
several years. The iron trade matinues in a languid state,
with prices at a very wide nage.

CORN.— CAMBRIDGE, FIB. $ —Oar market was cheaper
for wheat, with little or no variation in the price of other
grain. Wriest, 624. to 68s. Barley, 28s. to 365. Beane,
40.. to 44e. Peas, 40s. to 445. Oats, 221. to 30..

CANTIMAIJET, FIB. 3.—We had a largo supply ; a dull
sale and pnees firm. Brown wheat, 645. to 70s. ; white,
725. to 7is. Barley, 295. to 31s. Oats, 265. to 28s. Beaus,
375. to 42e. Peas, 34,. 6d. to 426.

Cant.tams, Fan 3.—We had a very large supply of wheat
at our market this morning. Good lots were sold readily
at a decline of about 6d per Carlisle bushel on the rates
obtained last week, whilst for inferior white and red lower
rates had to be submitted to. Barley a large supply and a
slow sale, at about 6d. reduction. Oats an average supply
and a ready sale. Wheat, white, new, 28s. to 30s. ; red,
new, 251. 6d.to 274 Barley, old and new, 12a. to 13s. Oats,
potato, 10s. to lls. 6d ; do. common, 9s. to 10s. 6d. Rye,
16e. to 17s. Beans, 17s. to 18a. Flour, per stone, 2s. 84.
to 3s. Oatmeal, 2s. to 2s. 2d. Ryemeal, Is. 6d. Barley-
meal, Is. 4d.—Carliale Journal.
CoLouturruz, Faa. 3.—Very little business doing here
t.t.clay. In wheat the supply was good, but barely sup-
ported last week's prices. Barley a fair supply, and best
qualities remaia unaltered ; secondaty sorts Is. per quarter
lower. Beans and peas the •ante as on this day se'onight.
GLoucESTEIt, FIB. 3.—English wheat to-day was held
very tirmly by farmers, but greet indisposition existed on
the part of millers to pay last week's rate e, and in some in-
Planets Is. to 24 lets money was taken. Foreign very 6rm,
but little doing. There was no change in barley, beano, or
Indian corn. To make progress in oats le. less money
must have been accepted. Imports for the week ending
Feb. 8: Wheat, 832; oats, 2,664; beans, 743.

OVILDPORD, FEII:3 —There Was only a moderate arrival
of wheat, which waa sufficient for the demand. Prices
were ls. to 2s. lower. The weather causes great stagna-
tion in the trade for beans and peas. Wheat, 68s. to 82s. ;
Talavera, 84s. Barley, 304. to 365. Oct., 265. to 31s.

NIIFICASTLX•IIPON-TTNI, FEB 3.—The weather coati-
's's-a severe and very seasonable. There is a good deal of
floating it. I. the river, but not sufficient to interfere with
the communication with Shields. The trade in the early
part of the week, under the influence of discouraging ad•
vices from Mark-lane, assumed great dullness, and great
reluctance was manifested by our millers to operate, the
sudden fluctuations which have recently occurred having
tended to shake confidence. Notwithstanding, however,
the great decline that was submitted to in Mark lane on
Monday, holders here woul not make a greater concession
in wheat than 21. per qr., so that only a limited business
transpired With a continuance of wintry weather, the
general impression seems to be in favour of the recent
heavy reductioa being recovered, hence the indisposition on
the part of factors to sell. Our stocks of wheat and flour
were never less, and although the supplies of the former
article from the growers continue large, the demand hi-
therto has been sufficiently ample to take off everything
that has come to hand. Flour and other articles being ge-
nerally held beyond the views of oar consumers, business
in consequence has been much restricted. At oar market
title morning we had a large delivery of wheat from
the growers, and saute country qualities being most-4
withdrawn, whilst at the some time foreign was less press-
ingly offered, fresh-thrashed samples were taken off with
freedom at the extreme rates of thin day se'noight, whereas
a fair business was done in foreign at about previous rates.
Flour met more attention, and we repeat the quotation
of last week for all quiditiee. Rye remains unaltered.
Malting barley is sow request and rather lower, and the
same remarks will apply to grinding descriptions. In beans
little stirring. Boiling peas. owing to the severity of the
weather, held with more firmoess. With oats we were
largely supplied by oar growers, and the arrivals from Scot-
land of late being considerable, sales could only pe effected

Noawicit, FEB. 3.—Our market t day was abundantly
supplied with wheat. The late politic►l changes, coupled
with rumours of peace, caused millers to act with extreme
caution, and the amount of business transacted was not
large. Prices ex 'ding lut week were demanded, but not
complied with ; ultimately last weok's rates wore submitted
to. Flour was in slow request at similar prices to last
week. Barley trade remains as before, prime maltieg
qualities moved off freely at full price., while secondary
and inferior sorts were difficult to quit. Beans small sup-
ply, and not much.businesa done; no change in value. Peas
very scarce, and but little inquiry ; no alteration in pries.
Oats were plentiful, and rather lower rates were accepted.
We do not alter our quotations in any article.
Pirrnanononoa, FMB 3.—We continue to get large
supplies of grain The wheat trade ruled dull, and tut
week's prices (towards the close of the market) were
scarcely obtainable. Barley and beans each Is. per quarter
lower. Oats unaltered in value.

RZADINO, Fan. 2.—The unfavourable weather, the deep
snow, and slippery roads, have caused us to have • very
short supply of eorn of every description; little basins, is
therefore doing, on much the same terms as last week.

Wieners Fan. 3.—The supply of all kinds of grain
continua good. The wheat trade hes recovered its former
tole, and at le. per qr. less than lest week's prime • good
detal! bulimia was done. Other grain as before, with
scarcely so much life. Wheat, old, 645. to 74e. per qr. ;
new, 63e. to 765. Osts, le. lid. to le. 2d. per stone.
Beans, 445. to 465.

Wozoaeria, Pas. 3.—There wu • fair supply of wheat
at market to., arid so abuse could be obtaiaed for say
deseription, day foreign wu I,se inquired for. Barley

nominally outlier/J. Oat% 6d s, per

and peas unsaleable.
YORIL, Fns 3.-There was a large supply of both wheat
and barley at our market to-day, wt.ieti met a tolerably steady sale at about the prices of
.1 rid week. Oats in limit request at rather lower rates. Beans and other articles al before. Wheat, white, 76e. to 784. per impend qr ; ma.
70s. to 71s ; barky, malting, 310. to 33e ; grinding, 30, i',;;
315.; malt, 72e. to 745.; elm, 13d. to 14d, per stoas ot
141bs. ; dour, 64e. to 66e. per sack of 280Ibs.
KI&CALDT, FRB. 3.-During the past week we have had
continued frost, with occasional scow showers. This more.
lag there is a slight thaw, but, as the wind prevaile from
the N.E., we mPy soon have a return of frost. At eu
country markets' this week, less money was offering for all
kinds of grain, but fanners not being disposed to yield to
the reduction, a very limited business was transacted, at a
alight decline on the prices of last week. Here, to-day, us
bad liberal supplies of all kinds of grain. The demand
WM
good, and the whole cleared off at a reduction of 2e.ker qr.
on wheat, and 6d. to Is. per qr. on barley and oats. Wheat,
60s. to 745. per qr. Barley, 30s. to 365. Oats, 23a, to 30,.
Donuts, FIB. 2 -There was an increased supply
of all kinds of grain in to-day, and the market was extremely depressed. We note wheat Is. to Is. 6d,, and
descriptions of barley except the finest malting 6d. to le. and oats 3d. to 6d. lower than on Tuesday, ass em,
at
those reduced rates business could not be done to any extent.
WATTS/70HD, Faa. 3.-Our supplies of farmers' grain
bare been toe fair extent since this day ee'anight, but the
arrivals, both from abroad and coastwise, show only a
trifling increase over those of the precedialt week. Inas-
eneed by the reaction in the English markets, we have had
a very inanimate trade in all articles, at priers generally is
shyto-day's buyers and before any progress could be made in sales of wheat, farmers were obliged to submit to a reduction of
6d. to Is. per brl. on the prices of Saturday last. Barley met
but little attention, tbougo offered at • decline of 6d. per
bl
Oats were hardly enquired for, and holders who would have
given way 3d. to 6d. per barrel in order t make sales, wore
compelled to withdraw their samples. In foreign wheat we
did not hear of a single transaction, but a fair quastiiy of
Indian corn was taken for immediate use, at a decline of
to 6d. per barrel. Flour in slow demand, without dings
in price. Imports this week: Wheat, 60 qr..; /achy,
corn, 4,242. Exports: Wheat, 782 barrels; oats, 10,641;
flour, 2,636 sacks ; oatmeal, 10 cern.
