talent of Is. per qr. over last week's prices. The businese done in

parcels are held for an advance of Is. per qr. Fine Barley WWI easily
sold, at fully former terms, and there was more inquiry for grinding
descriptions, at the currency of this day week. Mite, owing to the
large supply, hung heavily on hand, and must be nu:ed 6d. per qr.

sellers rather than activity on the part of buyers has characterised the
trade since our last, and for new Wheat a little advance was rea-
lined, mad marks of Flour being held for somewhat higher prices. In
the value of other articles little change occurred. At tub day's mar-
ket buyers of Wheat and Flour had to pay full prices, but, having

Saturday last several forged notes of the Messrs. Bailey's
bank (the Monmouthshire Agricultural mid Commercial)

have been well acquainted with the premises, broke into the
counting•house of the South Eastern Railway at Dover,

on account of the Dover line, leaving untouch,d 1,2001.

made to force the hon•cheet, which was opened by mum
of a key, and locked wain by the thief, after he had perpe-
trated the robbery.—Kent iderald.
