MARKETS-Th 4 Dayf

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in. the country markets, held on
Saturday, ruled heavy, and prices declined is par quarter.
For barley, oats, beans, and peas, however, the trade was
firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The
flour trade was quiet, at about stationary prices.
Advices from Amulet' report a considerable fall in the
value of wheat and flour, With a limited export inquiry for
both articles. On the continent wheat Is somewhat droop-
ing in price, but most other articles rule firm.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last
week, were moderate for the time of year. The imports
from abroad consisted of 20,760 quarters of wheat; 3,423
barley ; 53,524 oats ; 825 beans ; 1,430 peas ; 5,615 linseed ;
13,223 oilseeds; 3,000 maize; 150 sundry seeds; 991 sacks
and 1,472 barrels of flour.

About 500 quarters of new home-grown wheat were re-
ceived at our market to-day. The Talavera wheats on sale
were of but middling quality, and were by no means equal
in condition to last year's produce. Rough-chaff wheat,
howeva., came to hand in excellent condition. The
supply of old wheat on the stands was but mode-
rate, but the quality of the produce was good. Both for red
and white qualities the trade was dull, and, compared with
Monday last, a reduction of is to 2s per quarter took place
in prices. Now Talavera wheat sold at 503, and new white
rough chaff at 42s to 48s per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode-
rately large. All descriptions sold heavily, and prices de-
clined is per quarter, compared with Monday last.
Floating cargoes of wheat were in limited request, at
barely late rates. Spring corn, however, afloat, supported
previous rates,
There were a few parcels of new Kentish barley on the
stands—quality, almost generally thin and sleety. The
best samples realised 37s 6d, whilst business was done
in secondary parcels at 36s per qr. For old home-grown
arid foreign barley the trade was steady, and prices ruled
tolerably firm.
Malt was in moderate request, at the rates current on
Monday last. _

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Both
English and foreign descriptions were in steady request, at
full quotations.
The few beans of English growth on offer, changed
hands at fully late rates. Foreign qualities ruled firm in
price,
For peas, the trade was steady, and although rather
more toroign samples were on the stands, all descriptions
fully supported previous rates. New grey peas sold on
Friday at 36s per quarter.

was he when she also immediately came up dressed. Her
excuse was that she had got up to assist the first servant-
He then gave directions for the third servant to be called,
and she instantly also walked upstairs fully attired. This
seemed to astonish him much. Prosecutor was perplexed
what to do or how to act, till he heard a rustling noise about
the house. He went to ascertain the cause of this, and
discovered the first prisoner behind a curtain, the
second under a table in the library, and the third
in an upstairs room. The police were called in,
and they were given into custody. They begged to be
allowed to go.
The prisoners now said that they had been admitted by
the servants.
Mr Yardley—You were then courting them at a most
improper hour. What business had you to invade this
gentleman's house at such an hour ? You ware there im-
properly and immorally. I order each of you to enter into
recognizances to be of good behaviour for the future.
The prcsoeutor said he had sent his three servants away.
The three prisoners work at Messrs. Combo and Dela-
field's, brewers.
