MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The wheat trade in the country markets, held on Satur-
day, was very quiet, and, in some instances, old wheats
changed hands at lower prices. All descriptions of spring
corn met a slow sale, but without leading to any material
change in the rates current on the previous week. Flour
sold heavily, at about recent quotations.
Advices from New York state that there was less doing
in wheat and flour for export, but the quantity on passage
to Great Britain is moderately large. On the Continent,
the trade is dull.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were
45,273 quarters of wheat ; 8,062 barley; 30,321 oats ; 1,515
beans ; 4,559 peas ; 3,443 tares ; 7,27:5 rapeseed ; 6,28;)
maize; 420 sundry seeds ; and 67,993 barrels of flour.
About three thousand quarters of new English wheat were
on sale at Mark-lane, to-day. A fair proper time was received
in excellent condition : but the state of several parcels
showed that the produce had not remained sufficiently Ling
in the fields. The demand ruled far from active both for
red and white qualities ; Talavera realised 56a ; and the
business done in other kinds was chiefly at 46s to 51s per
quarter. There was very little old wheat on offer, yet the
trade was very slow, at barely last Monday's currency.
The show of American wheats on offer was large, and the
market was well supplied with produce from other coun-
tries. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and in some
instances prices declined is per quarter.

Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, and previous quo-
tations were barely supported,

The supply of barley was very moderate. All qualities,
however, were in slow request, yet no change took place in
prices, comparel with Monday last.
In malt a limited business was transacted on former
terms.

There was a moderately extensive supply of oats on offer.
The trade for all qualities ruled inactive, and in some in-
stances prices slightly declined

Beans commanded very little attention, notwithstanding
that the supply on offer was but moderate. In the cur-
rency no charge took place.

Peas were unaltered in value, but the inquiry for them
was far from active. The supply on offer was very mode-
rate.

With barrel flour the market was extensively supplied,
and the demand ruled heavy, on rather easier terms. Other
descriptions of flour moved off slowly, at about stationary
prices.

duplicate relating to the prosecutor's gold watch and chain
was found upon the prisoner.

Two respectable witnesses, neighbours of the parties, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner remove the gold watch and
chain from Mr. Rayner's neck the 6th of July.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said he valued his
watch and chain at £l6. The prisoner snatched his watch
and chain from his neck so very suddenly and rapidly that
he could not stop him.

John Good, assistant to Mr. Francis Cotter, of No. 10,
Shoreditoh, produced Mr. Rayner's gold watch and chain,
which the prisoner had pawned for £3 10s. Mr. Good
said he had conscientious objections to the taking of an
oath, and claimed to make his solemn affirmation in the
terms of the Act of Parliament passed in the session of 1862.
He was questioned by Mr. Woolrych, and said be was not
a Quaker, but a member of the Free English Church at
Hackney. He attended the services of that church. Scrip-
ture said—Swear not at all. He believed the usual oath
ordinarily administered to witnesses in our courts of justice
was taking God's name in vain.
Mr. Woolrych permitted the witness to mate his solemn
affirmation, in the terms of the act of Parliament.
James Barton, a constable of the K divisian, said His pri-
soner had not been in Limehouse, or any part of the dis-
trict since the robbery. He understood the prisoner had
been to Swansea, in North Wales.
The prisoner, in defence, said he saw Mr. Rayner play-
ing at skittles on the 6th of July, and he was so intoxicated
that he fell down. Mr. Rayner then came in front of the
bar, and he took his watch and chain away, with the inten-
tion of delivering both to Mrs. Rayner, but instead of doing
so, raised £3 10s. upon them.
Mr. Woolrych—l shall remand the prisoner until to-
morrow (Tuesday).
On the application of the City policeman, Saunders, the
duplicate of another gold watch, and the duplicate of two
silk handkerchiefs, taken from the prisoner, were restored
to him.
