MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LAND.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which about an average
business was transacted, at very full prices to a slight ad-
vance. Malting barley, oats, flour, and peas commanded
extreme quotations, with a fair demand. In other kinds
of produce very little was passing.
The Continental market continues firm for wheat, at
very full prices. Spring corn may be considered steady.
The American markets are dull.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were only moderate. Ths imports from abroad were :
Wheat, 1,784; barley, 6,255 ; oats, 16,340 ; tares, 1,606 ;
linseed, 9,174; rapeseed, 230 ; sundry seeds, 75 quarters;
flour, 732 sacks.
The arrivals of wheat fresh up to our market to-day
were small from Essex, but there was a moderate show of
Kent produce on the stands. The general condition of the
samples was but middling. For all qualities the trade was
firm, Kent wheats at the commencement of business being
held at an advance in prices from Monday last of 2s. per
quarter. The bulk of the supply, however, both of Kent
and Essex produce, was disposed of at aneimprovement in
the quotations of this day se'nnight of Is. per quarter.
Very little American wheat was on offer, and the mar-
ket was but moderately supplied with other descriptions of
foreign wheat. There was a steady demand for all quali-
ties, at fully late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices
ruled firm.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The finest
malting qualities were firm in price ; but secondary and
inferior samples were a dull inquiry. Grinding and dis-
tilling barley moved off slowly, at late rates.
Malt was in slow request at previous currencies.

There was a moderate supply of oats on sale. Nearly
all descriptions were in steady request, and fine samples
commanded rather more money.
Peas quite supported last Monday's currency, the trade
being firm, owing to the short supply on offer.
English flour was in fair demand, and in some in-
stances a slight advance took place in prices. Eoreign
flour was quite as dear as on Monday.

was decidedly lower in price, as Compared with the close of
last series, but which subsequently commanded more at-
tention, the better qualities realising more money than at
last sales. A full average business has been done for ship-
ment to the Continent, but scarcely any transact ions have
taken place on American account. Considerable heaviness
continues to prevail in the market for English wool, and,
some instances, a further decline has taken plate in prices.
Last week's import was 926 bales from Algos. Bay, 2,131
New Zealand, 3,411 Port Wakefield; 516 bales from
Bahia.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day )

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.)
IN RE SIR J. A. DOUGLASS, KNIGHT.

This bankrupt was described as of Apsley Cottage,
Peckham, formerly a prisoner for debt in Horsemonger-
lane gaol, a commander in the Royal Navy. He attributed
his bankruptcy to " insufficiency of income and non-pay-
ment of claims on her Majesty's Government." To-day
was appointed for the first meeting at which creditors
proved their debts. Mr. Denny appeared for the bankrupt,
and assignees were chosen.
