MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The trade for English wheat in the country markets,
held on Saturday, ruled firm, and, in some instances, selected
parcels changed hands at rather more money. Malting
barley was in steady request, at full quotations. The oat
trade was moderately active, and prices were well supported.
Flour changed hands to a fair extent, at quite previous
rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and most de-
scriptions of spring corn command former prices. Advices
from New York report no improvement in the export de-
mand for wheat, flour, or maize.
There were increased arrivals of English grain up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to
20,378 quarters of wheat, 11,878 barley, 31,398 oats, 480
rye, 1,946 beans, 582 peas, 1,629 tares, 10,924 linseed,
7,914 oilseeds, 11,844 maize, 220 sundry seeds-216 sacks
and 6,179 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to Mark. lana,to-day, the arrivals of home-grown
wheat were very moderate, and a considerable proportion
of the supply was received in but middling condition. For
good and fine produce there was a steady demand, and
nearly the whole was disposed of at the full prices current
on Monday last. Inferior qualities, however, sold heavily,
and the whole of the supply was not disposed of at the close
of business, although it was freely offered, at previous quo-
tations.

There was a fair average show of samples of foreign wheat
on the stands. Most descriptions changed hands to a mode •
rate extent, but the trade, generally speaking, was less ac-
tive than on Friday last. The prices realised exhibited no
alteration from those current this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of wheat were in moderate request at
full quotations.
Maize ruled firm, and other kinds of grain afloat sup-
ported former rat es.

The supply both of English and foreign barley was mode-
rately large, good and fine malting qualities were in steady
request at extreme to, in some instances, slightly enhanced
rates. Inferior malting parcels, including grinding and
distilling produce, moved off slowly at previous currencies.
The malt trade was steady, most qualities being in fair
average request, at full prices.
With oats the market WAS moderately supplied. On the
whole the demand 'tiled steady, and in some instances good
and fine corn changed hands at 6d. per quarter more money
than on Monday last.
The supply of beans was moderate and the demand ruled
inactive on former terms. _

--...-
Peas moved off slowly, yet no change took place in their
value. The show of samples was by no means extensive.
With barrel flour, the market was but moderately sup-
plied. The demand ruled steady at 21s. 6d. for extra stale
and at 225. 6d. for superior marks. Town and country
made qualities were in fair average request, at late quota-
tions.

somewhat less active, yet the opening advance in the quota
tions has been well supported, The large supply of Cape
produce offering at these sales—viz., 31,000 bales—has not
attracted the attention of American buyers. Up to the
present time nearly 30,000 bales have been disposed of.

passing in English wool by private contract is only mode-

is well maintained. The import. into London last week was
confined to 603 bales from Port Philip, and to a few small
parcels from continental ports.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A WOMAN CHARGED WITH A MURDEROUS ASSAULT
ON A Boy.—Ann Connor, hawker, woo charged before Mr.
Selfe with the following savage assault on a little boy
named Alfred Fisher, son of Mr. Fisher, a fishmonger in
Oxford Market.

A certificate signed by the house surgeon of the Middle-
sex Hospital (Mr. G. E, Pyle) was handed to Mr. Selfe to
the effect that the boy in consequence of his injuries was
unable to attend the court.

Charles Player, 309 A, said—On Saturday evening about
half-past 8 I saw a large crowd assembled at the end of
Rathbone-place, in Oxford-street, The prisoner was being
detained by some gentlemen who told me that she had
sEized a little boy by the throat, thrown him down, and
then held him on the ground by his throat. I picked up
the boy, and he at first said he was not much hurt, but
afterwards fainted, and on examining his throat 1 found
:inter marks, I thEn sent the boy to a doctor's, and took
the prisoner, who was drunk, to the station. The boy was
afterwards brought to the station in a cab by his father to
the prisoner.
Mr. Selfe—How old is the boy ?
Player—About 10, sir. The boy was afterwards taken to
the Middlesex Hospital, where on inquiry this morning I
was informed the boy was a little better.

George Haines, a lad living at 29, Wells-street, Oxford-
street, said—On Saturday evening I saw the prisoner, who
was drunk, fall down. I picked her up, and some boys
passing touched her basket. She then ran after the boys,
but not succeeding in catching them, she seiz3d the little
boy (Alfred Fisher) by the throat and fell with him, but
still retained her grasp so tightly that some gentlemen were
obliged to beat her to make her release her hold, she all the
while trying to bite the boy, who was quite black in the
face, his tongue protruding from his mouth. Thinking the
buy's life was in danger, I ran for a constable.
Mr. Selfe—Constable, did the doctor say when the boy
would be able to attend ?
Player—He did not, sir.
Mr. Solfe—l shall remand the prisoner for a week.
