MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was rather quiet. Holders, however, were firm, and
previous quotations were supported. In the value of bar-
ley, oats, beans, and peas, no quotable change took place,
but the demand for those articles was somewhat restricted.
Flour sold steadily, at full prices.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, but the de-
mand for spring corn rules steady. Advises from Now York
report a further increase in the export demand for wheat
and flour, but at reduced quotations.
Small supplies of home-grown produce were received up
to our market last week. The imports from abroad con-
sisted of 77,393 qrs. wheat, 9,620 barley, 65,993 oats, 1,721
beans, 765 peas, 745 linseed, 2,000 rapeseed, 2,540 maize,
40 sundry seeds, 115 sacks and 3,440 brls. flour.
The arrival of wheat fresh up from Essex to this morn-
ing's market was very moderate, but there was a somewhat,
increased supply of Kentish produce on the stands. The
total supply of English wheat, however, exhibited for sale
was limited, whilst the condition of the produce was good.
Harvest-work, as regards the cutting of wheat, rye, barley,
and oats, having been commenced this morning in some of
the forward agricultural districts, millers appeared desirous
of awaiting the results of the crops before making any ex-
tensive purchases. Tho trade for English wheat was, in
conseptence, in a somewhat inactive state. Nevertheless,
a clearance of the supply was effected, whilst last Mon-
day's currency was steadily supported.
Scarcely any American wheat was on offer, and the
supply of foreign wheat on the stands was chiefly confined
to Russian produce. Good and foreign wheats were hold
at fully late rates, and inferior qualities supported previous
quotations ; but the transactions were almost entirely of a
retail character, and the state of the trade, generally
speaking, ruled quiet. _ _

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, at
about stationary prices.
The supply of barley consisted almost entirely of foreign
produce. English qualities were quite nominal in value ;
for foreign parcels the trade was slow at barely late rates.
Malt was in fair average request at last Monday's cur-
rency.

The market was abundantly supplied with foreign oats,
but scarcely any home-grown produce was on offer. Tho
trade was slow for all qualities, and the prices realised ex-
hibited a fall of ls.-per quarter, as compared with -the late
highest point, being a reduction of 6d. per quarter from
Monday last.
Beans—the supply of which on sale was limited—sold at
last Monday's currency.
Peas were in but moderate request, yet prices ruled firm.
The show of samples on offer was limited.

The flour trade was quiet, yet prices wero unaltered from
Monday last. The supply of barrel flour on sale was
limited.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE_

Tho supply of foreign stock in our market to-day was
again extensive, but, for the most part, in middling condi-
tion. Sales, consequently, progressed slowly, but at full
prices. A few of the beasts from Tonning sold at from
4s. 8d to 4s 10d. per 81bs.
With English beasts we were very moderately supplied,
and the quality of each breed was by no means prime. The
arrival from Scotland was seasonably good. Prime Scots,
crosses, Lincolns, &c., moved off readily at prices fully
equal to last week. Otherwise, the trade was quiet, at
late rates. Tho general top figure was ss. 4d.; the extreme
price, ss. 6d. per. Sibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,700 shorthorns, Ice. ; from other parts
of England, 500, various breeds ; from Scotland, 200, Scots
and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers.
Tho show of sheep was again very moderate, and in
middling condition. Good and prime breeds changed hands
freely at high currencies ; but inferior sheep moved off
slowly at late rates. Downs and half-breds realised Gs. to
to Os. 4d., in some instances Gs. 6d.

Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request, at from
6s. to is. 4d. per 81bs., being previous rates.
The supply of calves was moderate, and the demand
was quiet, on former terms, viz., from 4s. 2d. to ss. 2d.
per 81bs.

Prime small pigs moved off freely, at full prices. Large
hogs wore a dull inquiry.

BOROUGH HOP.
We have to report a great trade for all citroriptions of
hops. Tbo market, however, must be considered firm, and
as the supply on offer is small, last week's currency is well
supported. The plantation accounts are, in most instances,
favourable. Last week's import was only one bale from
Havre.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Mr. Registrar Murray.)

IN RE J. PRIME-AN ENGINEER IN THE ROYAL NAVY.

This bankrupt was described as an engineer on board
one of hor Majesty's men-of-war now stationed at Sheer-
ness, and to-day was appointed for proof of debts. The
claims already filed amount to £250, and the bankrupt
ascribes his failure to the insufficiency of his pay to main-
tain himself and his family.
IN RE A. D. HIGMAN-A CAPTAIN IN THE ROYAL MARINES

The

Improved Industrial Dwellings
Company (Limited).

This company, which our readers will recollect was
started a year or two since in furtherance of Mr. Alderman
Watelrow's efforts to provide the working classespf large
towns with suitable dwellgs at remunerative rents, held
its fourth half-yearly meeting at the Mansion House on
Saturday. The minutes of the previous meeting having
been read by the secretary, Mr. J. A. Mays, were confirmed,
and the report of the directors and statement of accounts to
June 30 were received and adopted. The report stated that
the whole of the subscribed capital, £30,000 has been paid
up, less £l5O, still outstanding. Up to the date of closing
the accounts, the sum:of £23,542 ls. id. had been expended
in the purchase of land and in the erection of
buildings; and it is expected that the balance will, in the
course of a few weeks, be absorbed in completing the seve-
ral undertakings now in hand. At Tower-buildings, Brew-
house-lane, Wapping, nearly the whole of the GO dwellings
for families are occupied. The block of buildings at King's-
cross-road, Bagniggo-wells, has been named Cobden-build-
ings. The dwellings here have been occupied for some few
, weeks, and the shops on the ground floor are also let. Of the
five blocks in Old St. Pancras-road, two were fully occupied
in the first week of the present month. It is expected two
others will be ready for occupation in a few weeks, and the
fifth completed in October. These five blocks, which
have been named Stanley Buildings, provide ample ac-
commodation for 100 families, and as they are in the
immediate neighbourhood of the Great Northern Railway
Station at King's-cross, and several large manufacturing
establishments employing a great number of hands, the
applications already received are greatly in excess of the
number of tenements. From the experience of the working
of the company up to the present time the directors believe
that a minimum dividend of £5 per cent. per annum may
be permanently relied upon. Mr. Alderman Watorlow has
recently been in communication with the Government, and
has obtained from the Lords of the Treasury, a promise to
introduce, at the opening of the next session of parliament,
a bill to enable the Publio Works Loan Commissioners to
advance money at 31 per cent. interest upon the mortgage
of improved dwellings for the industrial classes; and, in
order to enable the company to avail itself of favourable
opporunities of borrowing money upon security of its pro-
perty the directors recommend that a resolution be passed
authorising the directors to mortgage the company's pro-
perty to such an extent as they may deem advisable. The
accounts show that £B2l odd remains standing to the credit
of the company's profit and loss account. The directors
recommended that £750 of this sum be appropriated to the
payment of a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum on the
paid-up capital of the company. Since the 30th June,
£2,000 has been subscribed to the capital of the company ;
land a considerable sum is likely to be subscribed by
friends of the movement in Greenwich, with a view
to the erection of three or four blocks of buildings on a
vacant piece of ground close to the parish church. Nego-
tiations are pending for an eligible piece of land in the
City-road, about a mile from the Bank, as a site for three
blocks of buildings. If this is secured a further sum of
£B,OOO will be at once required, which will have to be
raised by mortgage, or by additional capital. The directors
feel it necessary again to point out that favourable sites for
the erection of additional blocks of buildings aro frequently
brought to their notice ; but for purchasing or leasing
these, and for erecting buildings thereupon, additional ca-
pital will be required. There are 180 unalloted shares, for
which the directors are ready to receive applications.
Resolutions were passed authorising the directors to
mortgage the company's property, and declaring a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital.
Mr. Alderman WATERLOW, in moving a vote of thanks
to Lord Stanley, adverted to the influence which his lord-
ship had exerted as chairman in securing for the company
the hold it had on the public estimation, and he congratu-
lated the shareholders that, looking at the progress already
made and the profits realised, there was every ground for
asserting that a profit of 5 per cent. might be relied upon
for the future.

Sir C. Fox alluded to efforts which his son was making
towards raising the capital for erecting improved dwellings
at Greenwich.

Lord STANLEY expressed his anxiety to do all he could
to further the objects of the company. The only thing that
could be said against them was that their capital was too
small, and their operations confined in consequence. He
thought they might now legitimately ask the public to
extend the funds at their disposal, on the ground of the
enterprise having been proved to be commercially success-
ful as well as highly beneficial to tho working classes.
Mr. Alderman FiNms said ho had felt all along that the
best course would be to refrain from asking his friends to
join in the undertaking until it had been made to pay, and
now that that result had been gained he should certainly
advise them to join.
The mooting then concluded.
