MARKET NEWS.-(THIS :DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
-21 lost of the country markets held on Saturday wore
• et ive for wheat, and prices advanced is to 2s per quarter.
1. 3re was a good sale for barley, oats, at id' flour, at ex-
t re ale rates ; but most other articles moN red off slowly on
f mer terms.
tle latest advices from New York state that the flour
t ra de was firm at full prices. In grain, only a limited
,u3iness was doing. The continental ran rkets are firm
f ar most articles.
'The arrivals of English grain up from n larket last week
gra re very moderate. From abroad, wo received 22,530
tuarters of wheat, 5,961 barley, 25,514 o. its, 7,657 beans,
102 peas, 2,420 tares, 5,123 linseed, 887 rapeseed, 6 sundry
weds, and 13,378 sacks of flour.
...Fresh up to our markets, this mornitig., coastwise, a
racy limited supply of English wheat cal net to hand, and
she roeeipts by land carriage were smaller than for a con-
' liderable period. Nothwithstanding the it the show of
temples was trifling, the demand for a'l kinds—arising
from the favourable accounts at hand rest waling the crops,
mad the thin attendance of millers—was in.a sluggish state.
However, in the few sales effected, the r rrices of Monday
last were supported.
We had a fair but by no means a 1 arge quantity of
7oreign wheat in the market. For all ki sds the demand
was wholly confined to retail prices at la st week's quota-
ions.
The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast continues
rood. The inquiry for them to-day was i ;motive.
Barley—the show of which was mode rs.te—met a fair
lemand. In prices no change took place.
The malt trade was in a very slaggi di state at last
• week's quotations.
We were well supplied with foreign oa ts, but the show
( if Irish was very moderato. About an average business
vets doing in most kinds, at late rates.
The sale for both beans and peas was far from active. In
p Tices no change took place.
We had only a moderate inquiry for flour, yet prices
✓ rare well supported.

' The general quality of the foreign stock still continues
in rerior, especially the sheep from Hambro'. As rep ards
th s latter, we may observe that they are described by
soi ne parties as an importation from Spain ; but it must
be understood that—though they are all composed of
Me canoes—no sheep have reached is this year from the
Sp knish coast.
J Fite show of foreign stock, to-day, was very moderate,
but in somewhat improved condition.
.1 I very limited supply of beasts was received fres'a up
fro in our own grazing districts, and its quality was in-
fer ior. The beef trade ruled somewhat active, at an ad-
vai ice in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs.
A ) few inferior Scots realised 5s 4d ; but the general top
figs are for beef was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Er tax, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,100 Scots and
she rt-horns. From Lancashire, &c., 9.:3 short-horns ; from
oth or parts of England, 300 of various breeds; and from
Scf Aland 160 horned and polled Scots.
rise show of sheep was small, and we observed a great
fal ling off in their weight and condition. We had an
active inquiry for all breeds, at fully 2d per elbs above
the rates current on this day sen'night. Prilne Downs
we re worth fully 5s 2d per 81b3.
Limbs—the supply of which was rather limited—sold
brisk ly, at 2d per 81bs more money.
The supply of calves being good, the veal trade was
inactive, at barely stationary prices.
There was more doing in pigs, the value of which had
an up ward tendency.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DIY.)

ROLLS COURT.
SPROLE V. Vb'HATMAN—JUDG3fENT.

The Master of the Rolls gave judgment this morning
in this case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of
obtaining the specific performance of an agreement,
as the plaintiff alleged to give him an effectual
mortgage of certain copyhold promises. From
the statements in the bill it appeared that the
defendant and a person named Fuller were snxious
to borrow from a benefit society the sum of 1601. ;
and for that purpose the plaintiff, together with
a person named King, were induced to sign a promissory
note to the Benefit Society to secure them against their
advances. Upon the signing of that note the defendant
deposited with the plaintiff the copy of court roll and
the title-deeds to certain copyhold property of which he
was in possession. The plaintiff, some time after the
transaction took place, doubting whether the security
he had got was sufficient, called upon the defendant,
who then, as it was alleged by the plaintiff, con-
sented to give him any other security that
he might consider sufficient provided he was not called
upon to pay the expenses. The plaintiff required a
regular drawn up mortage deed, but this the defendant
refused, and hence the present suit. The Master of the
Rolls, after reading carefully the affidavits on both sides,
was of opinion that the plaintiff asked more than he was
entitled to, but that the defendant must be decreed to
give him what he really ought to have, which was, in
addition to the deposit of the title deeds, a statement
of whiat were the grounds upon which those deeds had
been deposited by the plaintiff. A memorandum to that
effect must, therefore, be drawn up at the expense of the
defendant ; but in case the parties should differ about it,
his Honour would direct a reference to himself in
Chambers, in order to determine what that memorandum
should be.
