CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 20.—Our Market was
well supplied with Wheat this morning from
Essex and Kent • in the early part of the day fine
samples were taken off readily at an advance of
from 2s. to 3s. per quarter from this day week,
but towards the close, the sales became heavy,
and there was a considerable quantity of the in-
ferior sorts left unsold ; having a good supply of
Barley, it may be noted from Is. to 2s.lower than
this day week. Our arrivals of Oats being large,
they may be considered Is. lower. In tease and
Beans there was no alteration. Flour remained
the same.
SAttrurt E FEn. 20.—This day's Market had a middling
supply of prime Beasts, and the show of Cattle in general
was pretty good; Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Pork, supported
last priees ; and the trade, for the most part, was somewhat
I:risk. The sales in the Hay-market were rather lively; hay,
Straw, and Clover, obtained last prices.
FAITH IN DnEams.—About eight years ago,
John Smith, a baker, at Southampton, dreamt
that a particular Number would be drawn a Capi-
tal Prize : although but. in moderate
,circum-
stances, he came to London post, 'and bought a
share of the Ticket, which was, the same Lottery,
actually drawn. a Prize of 20,0001. The two
brothers, Janes's, of Westminster, each got a
part of a 20,0001. Prize in the same manner; and
in the very last Lottery drawn, Two Shares of the
40,0001. were gained by a -dream. These extra-
ordinary occurrences, which stamp 'the truth of.
the adage—" 'Tis better to be. born Lucky than ,
Rich--may account for the unprecedented num-
ber of bespoke tickets, at the Bank of England,
for the present Golden Lottery, to be drawn the,
5-th of APRIL. containing Three prizes of Thirty
ThOusand Pounds, with 5000 Guineas, to be paid
in Gold, as soon as drawn.
