MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat received up to our market
this week, coastwise, having been only 1,720 quarters, and
the arrivals fresh up to-day, by land carriage, being small,
the show of samples of both red and white was very limited.
For all kinds the demand ruled active, at, in most instances,
a further advance in the quotations of fully is per quarter.
A steady business was doing for forward delivery, at the
same amount of improvement.
Only 2,190 quarters of wheat have arrived from abroad.
The supply ex-granary was very moderate, and the trade
ruled somewhat active, at a rise of is per quartsr. Float-
ing cargoes changed hands steadily, at higher figures.
There was an improved sale for most kinds of barley and
malt, at very full prices.
Oats, the supply of which was trifling, were in active re-
quest, and is per quarter dearer than last week.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady.
A good business was doing in flour, the value of which
had an upward tendency. The top price of English was
.46s per 280 lbs.

Although the supply of beasts on sale, to-day, fit for
Christmas consumption, were larger, the demand for all
kinds ruled active, at, in most instances, an advance in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs. Mr. Vorley had on offer several
remarkably fine lots, fed by Mr. George Baxter, of Craig
forthies, Aberdeenshire. We were fairly supplied with
sheep, yet the demand for them was steady, at fully Mon-
day's advance in prices. Prime small calves moved off
freely, and the currencies had an upward tendency. Infe-
rior calves were a dull inquiry. Pigs, the supply of which
was moderate, sold heavily, at late figures.
Mikh cows were very dull, at from 141 to 18/ 5s each,
including their, small calf.

KEATS AND OTHERS v. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND
SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANY.—Itt OW report of this trial, in
yesterdays impression, through an omission of the discussion
'
as to court fees, Sergeant Byles's observations were misplaced
they were mado with reference to his Lordship's investigation
into the foes of the corporation officers, and not to the ex-
penses of the above-mentioned trial.
