THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1867.

Cross-examined by Mr. linvper—English cried out to the
others to get their revolvers in a very loud tone of voice. i
Thomas Halbot, C 184—I have been engaged in watch-
lag the Lion and French Horn, 3, Pullen-street, for about •
three months, is plain clothes. I have seen English,
Dfullaney O'Keefe, Timothy Deemond, and occasionally
William Desmond. I have seen several of them there
nightly ; English and Mullaney very often ; the others
not quite PO often. On many occasions I have seen them
all there together. I was there with Cole and Bunce
on the night of the arrest. I was in plain clothes. I
assisted to arrest him, and afterwards to take him to the
station. English was exceedingly violent. Bunco had
drawn his staff and struck English.
By Mr. Lewin—Cavantigh's henna had teen used bytailors.
By Mr. Her— English lives directly opposite. I had
often conversed with English, but never on the subject of
this awe. Ido not know who it was who acid " Now for
your revolvers." I heard the cry came from inside. I did
not carry a revolver myself.
Sir Thomas Henry said that question was put to the
other constables, and they also said that they did no carry
revolvers.

At this stage the prisoner' were all again remanded.
Timothy Desmond, before his remand, expressed a hope
that refreshments would be supplied.
Sir Thomas Henry—Certainly.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Viren:n &sone, an Italian, aged 50, was charged with
stabbing Police-constable Gilbert.
It appeared that on Sunday afternoon, between three
and four o clock, Gilbert, who was in plain clothes, ob-
nerved the prisoner walking about the neighbourhood of
the Bank in a somewhat suspicious manner. After
watching him for some time and seeing nothing wrong he
returned to the police station, but on coming out he saw
the prisoner again in Old Jewry. He then called Detec-
tive-sergeant Scott, who went up and asked if he wanted
to see anybody, when the prisoner said he wished to see
the Italian consul. Scott told him be could not see the
consul on Sunday. The prisoner then muttered something
in Italian, using the word " Fenian." He also un-
buttoned his coat and began beating his breast with '
his hands. He next proceeded to unbutton his
vest, and the officers' thinking he was feeling
for something, attempted to seize hold of his wrists, but
Gilbert received a stab in the hand, and immediately
afterwards a large pocket knife fell to the ground by the
prisoner's side. The blow was struck with oonaiderable
force, the prisoner grinding his teeth, and the officer was
obliged to go to the hospital to have his wound dressed.
On inquiry it turned out that the prisoner for the last
three years had been an inmate of St. George's workhouse,
Mount-street, Grosvenor-square and in his possession were
found a letter, written in holier:, addressed to the Minister
of Police, and a slip of paper containing the names of
four or five other inmates of the hospital.
The prisoner, whose conduct was very singular, stated
that the names were those of " revolutionists." As to the
charge preferred against him, he asserted that the officer
had cut himself in seizing hold of his (the prisoner's) hand.
The Lord Mayor remanded him till Friday.

THE FENIAN MOVEMENT.

Yesterday morning the police arrested one of
the men employed at the Chartered Gasworks, in Patrick-
lane, St. Luke's, and as the prisoner was being taken
through the streets on his way to the Clerkenwell police-
station, he was watched with great cunolity by a large
crowd. He is a labourer, of about 40 years. His arms
were bound together acmes his chest by means of hand-
cuffs. He was surrounded by policemen, and two consta-
bles held him by the collar of his coat. It was stated that
he was arrested between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morn-
ing, near the gasworks, on a charge of treason-felony.
it is said that an attempt was made to set fire to
the contents of the receiving-box of the eastern district
post-office, in the Commercial-road East. A woman going
to poet a letter found two men pouring a solution of nitric
acid into the box through a funnel. She at once gave the
alarm, and on the box being searched many unignited
lucifers were found in it. Though several of the letters
were saturated with the solution, none were permanently
injured.
The work of swearing in special constables inthe
various parishes continues with considerable spirit. In
the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, the number now
reaches over 1,100. In the course of yesterday Captain
Walter, commandant of the Commissionaires, attended
the bench in company with Colonel Sargent, C. 8., bring-
ing with them, headed by their band, 134 picked menof the
corps of Commissionaires, who were sworn in, in batches of
six. The whole body were addressed by the chairman of
the bench, whoexpressed his pleasnreateeeingeomanymen
bearing the marks of their Sovereign's approval of their
bravery on the field of battle now responding to the
call to face the enemies of their Queen and country as
civilians. Having stated that loyalty and bravery go hand
in hand, he impressed upon them that English and Irish
were equally loyal, and that be believed it was only an
exception to find a disloyal Irishman—that it was desir-
able that such numbers should come forward as will by mere
expression of opinion crash out every feeling of disloyalty.
Yesterday 712 of the heads of departments and
clerks of the Bank of England were enrolled as special con-
stables. Mr. Alderman Wilson and Alderman SirE. Carden
again attended at Guildhall, accompanied by Mr. Oke, and
continued to administer the oath to such of the citizens as
presented themselves for enrolment. At the close of the
day about 4,370 in all, including those enrolled at the/lank
of England, had been sworn in for the City of London.
The magistrates will attend again to-day and through-
out theweekatGuildhallfromr2 till 3 for the samepurpose.
A FENIAN HOAX AT LIVSRPOOL.—The LAW-
pool Mercury of yesterday contained a statement in its
summary of news to the effect that an attempt had been
made to blow op her Majesty's ship Donegal by means of
1 a torpedo. It was stated that boat' bad been observed
hovering about the ship, and " that on Friday night at-
tention was attracted by the suspicious movements of a
boat near to the Donegal s anchorage, and that a torpedo
was found in such a position that the ship would have
come in contact with it on swinging at the next flow of
the tide. The dangerous implement was safely removed,
and no doubt such a strict watch will be kept in future
, by the crew of the Donegal as to effectually check any
; similar attempt to destroy the vessel." On making in-
quiry from the officer on board the Donegal our Liverpool
zerrespondents were assured that there was no foundation
whatever for the rumour that appeared in the Mercury,
and they were requested to contradict it, and at the same
time, state that there has been such a strict watch kept on
board, in addition to the steam launch keeping guard round
her, that it would be impossible for any boat or torpedo to
come near the ship without being immediately discerned.

THB SACKING OF THE MARTELLO TOWER IN
IRELAND.

The following particulars of the sacking of the
Martello Tower, near Queenstown, are from the Cork Ex-
aminer :

" The inhabitants of Fatty, Belvelly, and Little Island
were not • little startled on Thursday evening by the
sound of heavy firing in the neighbourhood, the exact
direction of which, owing to the character of the sur-
rounding country, was not very easily ascertained. A
number of circular forte, known as the Martello Towers,
each armed with one gun, which revolve* upon the roof,
are placed at different points of the harbour, the lower
river, and its inlets. Foety Bay, on the north side of the
river opposite Passage, has two of those towers—ons at
Belvelly, commanding the bridge which connects the great
island with the main land. The other stands on a tongue
of land near Marino, at the entrance to the bay. It was
from this tower the heavy firing was first heard on Thurs.
day evening. Its garrison consulted. as usual, of two gun-
ners of the Royal Artillery ; with them their two wives and
five children coca the tower. The entrance door of
the tower is at some height from the ground, and
is reached by means of • ladder, which is drawn up at dusk
every evening. The country for some distan.is around is
very thinly populated, and the tower itself has often been
a subject of vague conjecture to the passenger by the
Queenstown Direct Railway, which passes close by. As
the matter is at present the subject of inquiry by the
authorities, the utmost reticence is observed till the parti-
cipators may have been ascertained and, if possible, made
amenable. This must account for any imperfection in the
following account of this surprising incident, which, How-
ever, we believe to be substantially accurate.
"About 5 o'clock on Thursday evening one of the
gunners was sitting with his family at tea in the
tower, his comrade being in an adjoining room, and
the fort door being open, when • party of men quietly
entered—about five were seen by the gunners, but
others are supposed to have remained outside. It is
not quite clear whether the ladder had been drawn up
at the time, but one account states that the door was
reached by the visitors by clambering on the shoulders of
others. Of those who entered some had their fares con-
cealed. the others had not. One, who appeared to be the
leader' advanced to the gunner who was sitting at the
tables and, presenting • revolver at his head, told him not
to stir, that they did not want to harm them, but only
wanted the ' stuff ' that was there. The visitors then took
down the guns and swords belonging to the two gun-
ners from the rack upon which they were placed, and
took possession of them, leaving the belts behind. When
the other gunner came in from the adjoining room he
was surrounded and prevented from communicating with
his comrade. The wife of one of the gunners
pegged
of the men to spare their lives, to which the leader
replied they need not fear, and added that if they
wished to know who he was, be was Captain ' Mao'
something. Sentries with revolvers were then placed
over the tenants of the tower, while the rest of the party
proceeded to search for the ammunition. They took a
number of eight-pound cartridges, variously stated from
ten to twenty, besides • quantity of fuse, but did not find
some cartridges that were hidden away as a reserve.
After staying for some time they left the tower, to which
I it is supposed they bad come in boats, for during their
stay reference is said to have been made to boats by them.
The gunners gave • pretty close description of the
, leader, as well as of the one other man who had not his
face concealed, and from three descriptions it is be-
lieved the police are satisfied that they know the two
I men in question. As soon as the supposed FOIALOS had
got clear off, and the gunners were free to act, the latter
secured the entrance to the tower, and, bringing up the
, reserve ammunition, fired five shots from the tower
gun, as a signal calling for aid. The signal does not ap-
pear to have been understood, for no assistance came for
a long time. The firing was heard by the passengers in
passing trains, who also observed a man standing on the
top of the tower waving a light, apparently as • further
*nal. Later in the night, heavy firing was heard farther
is the land, which, it is said, could only have proceeded
from artillery. It was observed from the train which
issued up between nine and ten o'clock that • party were
practising with small arms on a remote road near the back
of the 'eland—eight or nine gun-shots being distinctly
, beard. It has not been clearly ascertained when assist-
ance came to the occupants of the blartello Tower, but we
believe it was not until Friday morning. The constabulary
of the district, under Mr. Richards, 8.1., then went
thither, and • reinforcement for the tower came up from
the harbour forte. Mr. Hamilton, RAI. , hearing of the ocour.
'Pos. went to the looality enrly pa Fridianwhere Mrs Barry,
county inspector of oonatabahsry, was goo soon in at-
towlines. Mr. Hamilton at once commenced an inquiry
into the occurrence, and the constabulary have been en-
deavouring to discover the visitors to the tower. As yet,
we believe, no arrest has been made. The occurrence

I Las attraaeA the attention of the authorities to the
necessity of better garrisoning those towers, and a detach-
ment of the 81st Regiment was sent from Cork at three
o'clock on Friday afternoon to occupy them."
The Cork Herald says During their stay in the
tower the utmost courtesy was extended to the sack-
ing party, and in no case was their request denied.
Having gained access to the magazine, the men com-
menced to remove the contents, comprising eight-pound
charges, made up for firing the large gun on the sum-
mit of the tower. Package by package of the powder
was carefully removed to the exterior, where it is the
opinion of the artillerymen a large force awaited.
The entire quantity of explosive material taken away is
estimated at between 2501 b. and 3001 b. ; but besides this,
a lot of fuses and other matters connected with shells were
appropriated. The Fenians seemed particularly anxious
about hand-grenades, and, not satisfied with the assur-
ances of the ;ruiners, they made a strict examination for
that class of weapon. An idea of the coolness which was
exhibited may be obtained from the fact that the Fenian
held an analysis of the grape shot to know their construct.
tion. Having inspected the magazine, and satisfied
themselves with . what they had done, the party,
accompanied by the soldiers, went to the armoury,
the state of which evidently disappointed them,
as there were but two old carbines, with sword
bayonets and appurtenances, in stock. These they
likewise seized. And now moot the most remarkable part
of the tale. When the work of ransacking bad been com-
pleted. the five armed men sat down and had a friendly
conversation with the artillerymen and their families.
Tinto of the five men were so dressed as to disguise their
features ; a large muffler was drawn round the faoeof each,
and their caps were pulled down on their eyes. The two
others assumed no meaner of disguise, and the artillery.
men, y well ea their wive', are confident they can reeog-
nib) them. Before leaving they administered some form
of oath or obligation to the soldiers that the latter would
not identify them in the event of their being arrested ;
the y• also cautioned them against leaving the spot until
daybreak, for that they would be about the plane, and
would shoot the=


TEE EXPLOSION AT THE TAVERSHAM

THE BBITIZH AND 7ORXIGH CORN PADA

(From el* Narb•lame mat)

With Christmas occurring in the midst of the
past week we have had the usual limited amount al bud-
nem. Preparations for paying rent were previously made,
and • less supply than usual was required to meet the
claim in consequence of better prices ; and it is to be
noted that this year's deliveries in four weeks have been
38,000 qrs. lam than they were in the last. Still, with
proportionably leas resources, the drain upon hectogram
produce has been greater in proportion, and the tan sales
have been exclusively of new wheat. Had it not been for
liberal foreign supplies we should have felt more sensibly
the difference in the average quality of the hat coop. Mix-
ture with foreign has been the order of the day and the
public have thus continued to be supplied with air quality
bread. Foreign shipments must henceforth cease, or be
reduced to the minimum; and should farmers, in the hope
of better prices in spring, limit their supplies—which, as
consisting of • more monied class, they will be able to do
—holders in granary will probably demand increased rates,
at least to Ray the landing charges and interest incurred.
It is a significant feature as to the probable permanency
of present rates, that, at such an inactive period as the
present, prices should still be pointing upwards, the ma-
jority of markets, with small deliveries, being is. per qr.
higher. In France there has been a lull, but nothing
snore, holders at Marseilles being confident as to the future.
Letters from Danzig only confirm more particularly the
unusual deficiency in Poland, important districts not
being estimated to yield above 47 per cent. of an average
produce. Other German markets have been steady, and
rye everywhere keeps up its enamel price. Potatoes re-
main dear, and their keeping quality is wholly unreliable.
Although little more than one-fourth of the cereal sea-
son has passed we find short deliveries every week,
and complaints that some are already sold out.
While economy will therefore be forced upon many, it
should be adopted u • principle by all ; for, though
it may be pleasant to hope for an abundance next year
which shall compensate for the deficiencies of this, that
happy period may yet be a long way off that was pro-
mised as an indication of Jewish prosperity—" Your
threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and ye shall bring
forth the old store because of the new." The arrivals off
the omit fines Dec. 20 were 39 c rgea of which 35
cargoes were wheat, 2 maize, 2 cats. Business has been
transacted as follows :—Wheat, 21 cargoes in all, viz.,
Ghirka 655. to 66a, Marianopli 675. 6d. to 69a, Polish
665. 6d., spy* American 645. to 67a. Maize, 1 cargo, 45e.
Barley,2 corpse, 323. to Ms. 9d. Peas, 2 cargoes, 45e.98.
to 465. Thimbles of Hogliali wheat noted last week were
56,721 qrs. at 665. 9d., against 58,431 qrs. in 1866. The
London averages were 675. 7d. on 2,794 qrs. The imports
into the kingdom for the week ending Dec. 21 were
1,032,597 meta. wheat, 138,668 meta. dour. Mon-
day in 'Mark-lane began on • moderate supply of
English wheat • but the foreign arrivals were very
large, there being over 40,000 qrs. from America alone ;
but from the Baltic there was but little. During the
morning there were very few fresh wimples on the
Kentish sad Eseax stands, probably in anticipation of
Christmas, and most of these were of poor quality and
in miserable condition ; there being, however, a few par-
cels of really fine, these went off readily, from their scar-
city, at Ia per qr. advance ; but second-rate and low sorts
if anything were in worse position than previously, from
the fact that there was so much fresh American
on offer. The foreign trade for extra fine qualities
was also rather dearer, but in the numerous arrivals
some holders of medium and low red were dig
posed to take Is. per qr. lei money rather than incur
the expense of landing-charges. Cargoes afloat were
very little in request, and rather cheaper to sell, espe-
cially the inferior qualities. Wednesday being Christ.
ms-day, there was no market. On Friday the arrivals
e
coastwise were 1,740 qrs. English, 24,430 qrs. foreign.
Every parcel of really fine wheat found purchasers at fully
Monday's rases • but some of Monday's inferior lots were
still hanging on band, with little probability of a clearance.
All sound dry foreign wheat, though the demand was but
retail, was quite as dear. The flour trade on Monday was
well supplied with country sorts, and there were very
heavy arrivals of barrels from the United States, with
some quantity from Canada. The market, as usual at
such • period of the year, partook of • holiday character ;
but the beet musky marks were no lower, and foreign
sacks not being plentiful were not offered cheaper • to
have sold New York barrels, however, it would have been
necessary to make some concession, though generally
orders were given to land forthwith. Canadian barrels,
having better qualities among them, were held at full
prices, with some sales. Town-made sorts were with-
out any change, the top price still standing at 64a. per
sack. On Friday there were 660 sacks coastwise, 12,360
barrels foreign. Noifolks were but in moderate inquiry,
yet holders were indisposed to accept lower terms. Ame-
rican imports were fully as dear for tine qualities • but low
descriptions were only saleable at a heavy lois to im-
porters. Town prices were unchanged. With • moderate
arrival of maize and but little expected, this grain was
fully as dear onMonday, but the demand was only retaiL
The trade continued much the same on Friday. The
supply of barley on Monday was moderate both in
British and foreign sorts, there being nothing up
from Scotland. Malting sorts, though not in active
request, found • quiet sale at about the previous quo-
tation, and consumers of low grinding mina were re-
duced by their neceasities to pay quite former rates
in retell. Friday's returns were 1280 qra per coast,
300 qrs. foreUn. There was still &dulness in this trade,
but the small supplies of native, u well as foreign, kept
sates at their previous range. The malt trade on liends
y
was exceedingly dull, but without pressure to sell. Friday's
market was of a holiday character, scarcely one transaction
taking place; but quotations were nominally the same.
There was an immense supply of foreign oats on Monday,
including 25,000 qrs. mostly from Montreal, and a great
variety from ports in the Baltic. A fair quantity was sent
of home growth, but scarcely anything from Scotland and
Ireland. Such a quantity coming upon the Christmas
holidays wee much more than the demand could clear off,
and those who were disposed to buy at all found
they could suit themselves at a reduction of 6d. per
quarter generally, though it was scarcely so much on the
finest heavy qualities, such being scarce. The bulk
was therefore ordered to granary. On Friday there
were 110 qrs. per coast, 70 qrs. Irish, and 23,560
qrs. foreign. This falling-off an the supplies pre-
vented any positive decline, but it was still very
difficult to do anything more than a retail business at Mon-
day's rates. There was • fair supply of English beans on
Monday, and • good cargo from France. The demand
being very limited, with milder weather. pikes were some-
what in favour of buyers for English sorts. No change
was noted at the closing market, there being but few trans-
actions. There was but a moderate quantity of home-
grown peas on Monday, but an unusual supply of white
boilers from New York and Montreal ; nevertheless, with a
renewed demand from Sweden, white torts rather re-
oovered from the previous week's depression. Friday's
business was limited. The linseed supply was
moderate, and prices firm both for seed and
cake ; and so the trade continued through the week.
In cloverseed and other agricultural seeds there was
scarcely anything doing, and in the absence of business
pikes were nominally the same. As might have been ex-
pected, at such a holiday period, business in the country
as to the sale of wheat was very restricted, but the general
tendency of prices was upwards, and several markets were
la per qr. dearer ; among these were Boston, Spalding,
Market-Hazen, Lynn, Birmingham, Ipswich, Newark, and
Rochester. Spring corn generally was dull, but without
change. The Scotch markets were unaltered as to wheat,
Glasgow and Edinburgh included, with, however, a better
sale for American at the former, on good terms ; though
maize, barley, and cats were rather cheaper. The holiday
gave dukes to the Irish markets. Wheat at Cork was
quoted 10s. to 15e., barley to 102., and oats Be. to 9s. per
cwt.

The Pali, Boer trade, interfered with by Christmas, has
been inactive ; the six marks closed at 911. 23c. per 157
kilos. (58s. 7d. per 2801ba.), for January and February they
were 90f. (575. 10d.), for the first four months 89f. 75c.
(578. Bd.), for March and April 82f. 25c. (57e. 4d.). Type
Paris were much the same-say for December Mt. Zia. per
100 kilos. (565. 3d. per 2904b5.), fee January and February
54f.156e.), far the first four months SM. 75e. (54a. 9d.y.
Flour for consumption has scarcely altered ; the quotations
for extra qualities were 92f. per 157 kilos. (598. per 2801b5.),
the first marks 91f. (58s. 5d.), good 90f. (575. 10d.), ordinary
89f. (575. 2d.). Rye-fiour was quoted 42f. to 43f. per 100
kilos. (43e. to 448. per 2801b5.). The wheat trade has been
w ithout alteration, the best white Mayenne being quoted 51f.
50e. per 120 kilos. (775. Gd. per qr.), inferior sorts down to
4'f. (725. 28.); the range of prices for red was 46f. to 49f.
(6%. 2d. to 733 a. fid.). /lye was quoted 32f. 50c. per 115
kilos. (465. per qr.). Fine malting barley '..S6f. per 100 kilos.
(41s. per qr.) ; the lower qualities, weighing 501bs. per
bushel, 24f. 50c. (345. 6d.). The best heavy native oats
were worth 26f. 50c. per 100 kilos. (33s.6d.perqr.); inferior
light foreign, 23f. (228.). Red clover seed continued dull,
with prices for the hest strong seed 125 f. per bale. Trefoil
34f. to 35f. per bale. The wheat trade in the country was
much as last week ; a few places noting a decline of la. 2d.
to 2s. 48., and one a rims of 28. 4d. per qr. The seasonal
fetes, and close of the year at Marseilles. almost put the
consideration of business aside. The week's imports amount
to about 87,000 qrs. in wheat alone, yet prices were not
shaken, leaving stocks Dec. 20, 4,51k4,(r29 kilos. (about
185,000 qrs.). Bordeaux was in calm, but firm. Spanish
wheat of Garonne to 31f. 75c. per beet. (718.3 d. per qr. ). The
markets throughout Beiginrn have been calm, with scarcely
any change in prices. First quality wheat at Courtrai
was quoted 745. (id., and rye 51.5. per qr. After a decline of
Is. per qr. at Liege, the wants of millers compelled them
to buy on so large a scale that the market fully recovered ;
quotations finished at 605. ; rye, 495. 6d. ; and oats, to
29.. per qr. ; flour, 535. 6d. per 2801135. in buyers' sacks.
Though the market at Louvain was generally well sup-
plied, less wheat was offered, the price being 70s. ; rye,
495. lid. ; and oats, 29e. 6d. per qr. ; barley dull, at 445.
for the best. Prime at Antwerp were without change.
Some sales of Hungarian wheat had been made at 658. 9d.
per qr. Scarcely anything bail been doing in rye, barley, or
oats. Amsterdam prices for wheat without alteration,
mixed Polish being quoted 81s. Gd. per qr., but these rates
were nominal, and to sell a reauction was neces-
sary. Rye was also difficult of eale--Galati, 535.
Danish barley was firm. In oats there was little
passing. Rotterdam, with moderate supplies, had but a
dull trade, there being no speculative inquiry; prices of
wheat therefore gave way 2s. Gd. to 3s. (4., the range for
white Zealand quality being 66e. 6d. to 73e. 3d. Though
very little red was ambit, there was no change in its

value. Spring corn bad generally declined ; rye and barley
ca. to la., and oats ls. per qr. No change was noted in
the price of wheat at Cologne on the spot ; for Decianbst
the price was 641. for March for May his. lkl. ;
rye on the *pee 49a., for March 495. 6d., May 49e. 9d. per
qr. Hambntgquot►tione for wheat continued firm, Holstein
being saleable at 665. 6d. per qr., for the end of January
61s. 61, delivered at Rostock 655. Rye in calm, native
50s. Wheat at St. Petersburg was quoted 50s. per qr.,
este 205., for May 19e. 7d. At Dantalc there had
been a =all bulimia at la. lees money. With
the ports closed by ice in Canada, the quota-
tions remained nominally unaltered. The unusually
high rate, of breadstuffs at New York having
given a great stimulus to the shipping interest a corres-
pondingly large number of vessels and boats had been
surged to secure supplies before winter. It wee an
extra risk run for a consideration, but winter was not to
be forestalled with impunity, and it is now found that the
quantity hemmed in by the ice, on the lakes and in the
canals, has exceeded computation. there being about two-
and-a-quarter millions of bushels of wheat alone, or about
250,000 qrs. This leaves stocks at New York scarcely
sufficient, as rail communication is only a poor dependence
for a limited quantity; all prices have therefore risen,
flour, 25 to 56 cents per barrel ; wheat. 4 to 5 cents per
bushel ; barley and maize, 5 to 10 cents ; eats, 3 to 5
cents ; and rye somewhat higher. Shipments from the let
to the 10th of December: flour, 284 M barrels; wheat,
bushels;l7s,93l assize, 214,831 bushels.
