MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE
The The total arrival of English Wheat for our market this week has been only 330 quarters. Notwithstand-
ing that the show of samples of both Red and White on
offer in to-day's market was very trilling, the demand
for all descriptions, owing to the continued heavy im-
ports from abroad, ruled extremely inactive, at barely
Monday's reduction in the quotations. Upwards of
15,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand,
and the supply of that grain on offer was extensive.
The millers purchased cautiously, and late rates were
with difficulty supported. In floating cargoes no trans-
actions took place. No English Barley at market, but
the supply of foreign was good. All kinds moved off
slowly, at barely late rates. In Malt so little business
was transacted that prices were almost nominal. The
Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and the cur-
rencies had a downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and
Indian Corn were held at full quotations. Flour was
lower to purchase.

SECONDARIES".—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
CANNIN V. COOPER.
The plaintiff is a fish salesman in Billingsgate Market,
and defendant is a fishmonger at Ipswich. The action
was brought to recover the sum of 61. 9s. 6(1., for fish
supplied. Defendant pleaded that he never Ras indebted
to plaintiff.
The plaintiff's son was called, and proved that he re-
ceived letters signed in defendant's name, giving orders,
and the fish was packed up for delivery via the Eastern
Counties Railway, but the men who had been employed
to deliver them were not in attendance.
A witness named Clarke, an accountant, was called,
and proved that he went to Ipswich and saw the def,n-
dent, who excused himself for not answering the re-
peated applications for payment by saying he could
neither read nor write. Re, however, said the balance
was right, and he only wished for a little time. The
witness then served defendant with a writ, and he (de-
fendant) subsequently sent a post-office order for
2/. 9s. 6d. The proof that this was sent by the defendant
was the similarity of the handwriting, but there was no
postmark.
The SECONDARY said that there was clearly no proof
of the delivery of the articles, but it was n question for
the jury %hether they thought the other portion of the
evidence amounted to proof.
The jury found for the plaintiff fer 4/.
