MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was very inactive. In prices, however, no change
of importance took place. Good and fine malting barley
was in request, at extreme rates. Other articles, however,
met a slow sale, at previous quotations.
The demand for wheat and flour at New York for this
ecuntry continues limited, and the shipments still show a
considerable falling off from last year. On the Continent
produce generally is without material change in value.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain,
Szc., were but moderato. The imports from abroad amounted
to 6,011 quarters of wheat, 3,821 barley, 7,822 oats, 4,622
beans, 2,375 peas, 315 tares, 24,993 linseed, 17,872 rapeseed,
5,586 maze, 330 sundry seeds, 350 sacks, and 3,111 barrels of
flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat, coastwise, were very small, and but moderate by
rail. The condition of the produce on the stands was but
middling. Although the show of samples exhibited for
sale was very moderate, the trade for all qualities was in a
sluggish state. The supply of good and fine dry produce
was sold at the rates currant on Monday last; but the bulk
of the supply of damp qualities was either disposed of at a
reduction in prices of is per quarter, or was left unsold at
the close of business.

The supply of foreign produce on the stands was season-
ably large. The demand for all descriptions was far from
active, and barely an active business was transacted. Prices
however ruled stakienary and without change from Monday
last.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
With good and fine barley, the market was scantily sup-
plied, and samples suitable to malting purposes sold readily,
at extreme rates. There was a full average supply of
medium and iaferior barley on the stands, and such moved
off heavily, at late rates.
Good and fine now malt was in fair demand, at full prices;
otherwise the malt trade was quiet, at late quota'ions.
For rye the trade was dull, at 264 to 23s per quarter.
The supply of oats on sale was but moderate. For all
qualities the trade was firm, and prices had an upward
tendency.

Beans commanded more attention, at fully late rates.
The market was very moderately supplied with English
produce.

Peas sold steadily, and prices ruled firm, the supply on
offer being small.

The demand for flour was by no mews active, yet prices
ruled stationary. Th• supply of barre's hes net increased.

the comparatively easy rates for acommodation in the open
market, the public sales of colonial wool within the last few
days have gone off with increased animation, but without
leading to any material advance in prices from the opening.
The bulk of the supplies brought forward is still taken by
our own manufacturers ; but there is, at the same time, a
moderate demand for export to Germany. French and
American buyers have, as yet, transacted very little busi-
ness. Van Diemen's Land and greasy Adelaide produce is
now selling at the rates current last series ; but Port

The Murder at Plaistow.

- -

On Saturday Frederick Edward Karl Kohl, who stands
charged with the murder of Theodor ChristianFuhrhop,was
brought up on remand before the bench of magistrates at
Ilford.

Mr H. Giffard, instructed by Mr Pollard, solicitor to the
Treasury, attended to sustain the prosecution on the part
of the Crown; and Mr H. Wood, of the firm of Wood and
King, solicitors, Basinghall-street, appeared on behalf of the
prisoner; whilst Mr Superinteadent Howie attended to
watch the case on the part of the police. The court was
densely crowded.

The prisoner we placed in the dock shortly after 11
o'clock, and a plan of Plaistow Marshes, with the spots
where the body and head of the murdered man were dis-
'covered, indicated thereon, was produced before the court.
The prisoner appeared perfectly calm and self-possessed,
and listened attentively to the evidence read over and given
against him.

The greater part of the evidence was a repetition of that
given before the coronet's jury. The additional witnesses
were—Joules Warren, the previous landlord of the mur-
dered man, who deposed to seeing him with gold in his hand
on the Monday previous to the murder, end identified a
peculiar key found on the prisoner as having belonged to
the deceased; William Jackson, a greengrocer, who saw
the prisoner two days after the murder with four sovereigns,
b'esides silver, in his hend ; end Mrs Maly Ana Hooper,
who deposed to having seen the prisoner on the Monday
after the murder close b the reed Led, where the body and
head of the dezeascd were found.

At the conclusion of the reading of the depositions,
The chairmen of the bench, Mr Gulley F.y, addressed
the prisoner, end told him he was committal to take his
trial at the Central C►iminal Court, on a charge of the
wilful murder of Theodor Cblistian Fuhrhop. If he Cshed
to say enyibing he could, but it would be t= ken down as
evidence against him.

The Prisoner—l understand. I have nothing to say.
The prisoner, who did not appear in the least disconcerted,
was about to be removed when he said he washed to speak
to the magistrates, but preferred doing so eftor the people
had gone.

The Chairman said, es the prisoner's legal adviser bad
left, he had better not say anything, =less he wished to
make some application.

The prisoner said he washed that his wife might be per.
mitted to come and see him, a 3 he wanted to see her about
his food.

The Chairman said no doubt that would be complied
w;th, but the prisoner would be removed to a London prison,
and he could then make his application.
The prisoner was then removed.
