A JACKDAW AT CUURCII.—On Christmas morning?
during Divine service, a jackdaw took his stotion on the
cushion of the pulpit in Crewkerne Chorch, and as the
officiating minister did not deliver any sermon on that
occasion, Parson Daw undertook to supply his place,
and delivered an extempore address, which was not very
suitable to the time and place. At the conclvsion of the
service jack took his departure.
CALIFORNIAN DOCTORS.—A friend, in speaking 0
California, says—" If You call a physician to relieve
you, he generally does it—if not of the disease, of your
pocket-book. For three ahems' and a ha' I paid, ill
August last, 27 dollars."

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

..—..—.--4,,Ct0..---

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices
had a downward tendency. Fine barley sold at full cur-
rencies ; but grinding and distilling sorts met a dull in-
quiry. Oats, beans, and peas were quite as dear as in the
previous week; but flour met a dull inquiry.
Most of the markets held on the Continent of late have
been less active for all descriptions of produce. In prices,
however, no material change has taken place. The mar-
kets in the United States have been far from active.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English pro-
duce was very moderate. From abroad we received 9,238
quarters of wheat, 4,489 barley, 4,688 oats, 34 rye, 4,108
beans, 146 peas, 100 tares, 156 linseed, 100 sundry seeds,
3,113 sacks and 3,823 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was again
moderate, and in very middling condition, From the East
coast scarcely any supply came to hand ; whilst the receipts
by land carriage from the midland counties was compara-
tively small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples
of both red and white was limited, the demand for all
kinds—owing, in some measure, to the large orders lately
forwarded to the Continent for spring shipment—was in a
very sluggish state, and in some instances prices
,were is
per quarter lower then on Monday last. At that oechne a
clearance was with difficulty effected.
For forward delivery very few transactions took place,
although the growers almost generally were less firm
in
their demands. We were tolerably well, but not to
heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. A few middling
qualities of red were taken for shipment coastwise, at full
rates of currency. All other kinds met a dull inquiry, but
we have no change to notice in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of wheat were held at full prices ; but
the demand for them was in a sluggish state.
The show of barley was bit moderate. Fine malting
samples were in good request,. at the extreme prices paid
last week. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off steadily
at full prices.
Although the supply of malt was moderate that article ,
sold slowly, at late rates.
There was a fair demand for oats—the total supply of
which was very moderate— and late rates were well sup-
ported.
Owing to the large impost from abroad—upwards of
4,000 quarters—beans moved off heavily, at a reduction in
the quotation of is. per quarter.
The sale for peas was in a sluggish state, yet prices were
supported.
For flour we had a slow inquiry, at barely stationary
prices.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was by no
means extensive, and in very middling condition. Nearly
the whole sold at full prices.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
this morning were larger, the time of year considered. On
the whole, their general weight and quality wefe good; in-
deed, very few really inferior beasts were brought forward.
Although the attendance of buyers was extensive, the beef
trade--owing, in some measure, to the unfavourable state
of the weather—was less active than on Monday last, yet
prices were supported, the primest Scots having realised
4s. per 81bs.
The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, amounted to about 1,000 short horns ; from
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 1,400 Scots
and short horns ; and from Scotland 600 horned and polled
Scots.
We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, both as
to number and quality ; nevertheless, the demand for
that description of stock ruled somewhat firm, and, in
some instances, the quotations were on the advance. The
primest Downs sold readily, ae ss. per Sibs.
Calves came steadily to hand, yet the veal trade was
firm, at fully Friday's advance in prices. The primest
veal realised 4s. 4d. per Slbs.

There was rather more in
which was well supported,
