MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets, held on
Saturday, ruled heavy, and prideS declined is per 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.
Ad vices from America 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 si.rrivals of English produce up to our market, last
week, were moderate for the time of year. The imports
from akona consisted of 20,760 quarters of wheat ; 3,423
barley; 53,52 k oats; 825 beans; 1,430 peas; 5,615 linseed ;
13,223 oilseeds; 3,000 maize; 150 sundry seeds; 991 sacks
and 1,472 barre:s or flour.

About 500 quarters of now home-grown wheat were re-
ceived at our market to-clay. 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,
however, 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. New Talavera wheat sold at 50s, 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
beat samples realised 37s 6d, whilst business was done
in secondary parcels at 36s per qr. For old home-grown
and foreign barley the trade was steady, and prices ruled
tolerably firm.
p2Malt 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 ?oar., the trace -10--nah rather
more foreign samples were on the stands, all descriptions
fully supported previous rates. New grey peas sold on
Friday at 36s per quarter.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
into to-day's market in but middling condition. Sales,
generally, progressed slowly, at drooping prices.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up were large and of prime quality. From Ireland
and Scotland the supplies were small. Good and prime
beasts sold somewhat steadily, but at a slight reduction in
value. Inferior breeds wore very dull, and 2d per 81bs
lower. The general top figure for beef was 4s 10d; but a
very few superior Scots found buyers at bs per Sibs:
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 short-horns and
crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds;
from Scotland, 49 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 30
oxen and heifers.
As to number the show 'of sheep was seasonably good;
but most breeds came to hand in moderate condition.
Downs, half-breds, &c., sold steadily at full prices. Other-
wise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at 2d per
81bs less money. The best old Downs realised 5s 4d
per 81bs.
With lambs wo were fairly supplied,
,and the inquiry for
them was inactive on lower terms. The current rates were
5s 8d to Gs 3d per 81bs.
We have to report a dull sale for :calves, at Thursday's
currency on from 3s 10d to 4s 10d per 81bs.
The pork trade was heavy at last week's quotations.

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 new 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 were there im-
properly and immorally. I ordor each of you to enter into
recogniz laces to be of good behaviour for the future.
The prcsecutor said he had tiont his three servants away.
The three prisoners work at Alessi-8. Combo and Dela-
