THE FRAUDULENT TRADE MARKS ACT.—Mr. Brad-
laugh, from the office of Mr. R. Leverson, St. Helen's-
place, City, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for summonses under
the above act, just come into operation, against two auc-

tioneers for exposing for sale pianofortes bearing names
which had been forged, and for refusing to give information
from whom they were obtained. For exposing the piano-
fortes for sale the auctioneer was liable (under the 4th sec-
tion) to a fine of £5, and if with a guilty knowledge (under
the 12th section) it was a misdemeanour, and punishable by
fine or imprisonment; and the refusing to give information
respecting the articles rendered the auctioneer liable to a
fine of £5, under the 6th section. Mr. Bradlaugh stated
that one of the auctioneers told him that he ought to go
against others as well as him, as there were plenty of others
doing the same thing—namely, selling pianofortes with
forged makers' names upon them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt granted the summonses.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market were very moderate. Both for red and white
qualities, the demand ruled inactive, yet no probable change
took place in prices, compared with Monday.

There was but a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the
stands, Millers operated, however, to a limited extent in
all descriptions, yet there were no sellers at lower prices.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full currencies.
Good and fine malting barley sold steadily, at extreme
rates. Other descriptions, however, met a slow sale, on
former terms.
Malt ruled steady at full prices.

The supply of oats was tolerably large. Good and fine
corn moved off steadily at late currencies, but heated par-
cels were a dull inquiry. _ _

Beans and peas were in fair average request, and the
quotations ruled firm.
The trade for flour was firm, and prices were well sup-
ported.
