WRIGHT V. TURTON.

In this case a distringas was applied for against the de-
fendant. The affidavit upon which the motion was made
stated that it was found impossible to serve the person of the
defendant with the summons of the Court, and that on
various applications at the residence, and also at his place of
business in the City, the bailiff was unable to serve
the defendant with the summons, and that on two occa-
sions when he went to his country residence he was an-
swered from the window by his son. The bailiff then pushed
a copy of the writ under the door.—Motion granted.
No other case possessing any public interest occurred dur-
-1 ing the day.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of May 4.)
Suoa.s.—To-day there was a brisker demand for all kinds
of Raw Sugar for home consumption, and exporters were
more inclined to operate, but at present no advance in the
value can be quoted. irest India Muscovado Sugar of all
kinds was in excellent request, both for the scale and pan,
the quantity disposed of amounting to 700 hhds and tierces,
and the rates paid were equal to those of Friday for all
qualities. The market for Raw Sugar closes under a more
favourable aspect.
REFINED.-To-day there was but little desire evinced by
the home trade to purchase Refined goods of any kind. The
quantity on offer is much larger than of late. Bonded
crushed Sugar is little wanted. There is a fair quantity on
offer.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was more desire
evinced to operate in Bengal Sugar, and privately several
parcels were sold at fall rates; but 650 bags white Benares
at auction were taken in above the value.

Manturtus.—This afternoon there was a brisker demand
for Mauritius Sugar of all kinds, and 3,855 bags, 442 casks,
329 trc.s at auction were sold at former rates, excepting the
grainy sorts, which went a little cheaper.
FoaEIGN.—To-day a fair quantity of Foreign Sugar was
purchased by exporters and the home trade, the rates paid
privately were equal to those of last week for all kinds.
COFFEE.—Today few purchases were made in any kinds
of Coffee by exporters or the home trade. None was offered
at public sale, but 100 casks of Jamaica of the new crop, and
4,000 bags Costa Rica are declared.
TEA.—Although Black is offered rather under former rates,
still all qualities have been operated in with caution by pri-
vate treaty, the trade only purchasing sufficient for their
present wants, large as the consumption is, and low as prices
are. In the value of Green we have little variation to record,
the tendency is, however, still downwards, as the supply is
large, and the demand limited : the low and medium kinds
are yet the most pressed for sale.
MOLASSES.—OnIy a moderate business has been transacted
in West India Molasses, the purchases not exceeding 250
puns; no further decline can be quoted in the value.
Cocoa.—West India Cocoa has been operated in with
more freedom, and the rates paid are rather above those
that existed previously—whilst the supply is on the de-
crease. Of Trinidad several parcels have been sold pri-
vately. Foreign sells more freely, but not at better rates.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was much sought after for
all purposes, but further advanced rates being asked, making
the rise since Tuesday ls. Gd per cwt, operated against busi-
ness, and only a limited quantity was disposed of privately.
SPICES.—Since our last Pimento was not much wanted,
and the rates taken are rather under those that existed pre-
viously. Further parcels have been received. By private
treaty several parcels have been taken. For Cassia Lignea
the inquiries have increased. In black Pepper few purchases
have been made by private treaty, and for the inferior kinds
rather lower prices have been accepted ; but clean sorts are
held for the former value. White is offered at moderate
rates. African Pod has been purchased with increased
freedom. For Nutmegs, former rates are insisted upon; but
tew contracts have been entered into.
SPIRITS.—To-day there was a good business transacted in
all descriptions of Rum ; holders manifested firmness, and
obtained the following rates : proof Leewards 3s Id to 3s 2d ;
East India 2s 10ff to 2s 11d. Demerara fine quality 38 per
cent. over proof at 4s 6d, and Jamaica of fair to fine quality
of the last
4s 7d to 5a 2d per gallon.

and the demand having been limited, prices suffered a depres-
sion of 2d to 3d per lb for silvers.
SALTPETRE.—EngIish Refined has been largely dealt in,
and prices are very firm ; the refiners show much firmness,
as they have more orders on hand than they will be able to
execute for soms time. Rough is wanted by exporters and the
home trade, the rates offered are rather above those that pre-
viously prevailed ; but the supply of all descriptions is small—
none has been offered at auction.

Otis.—The supply has increased of all sorts of Southern
Oil, and a slight decline in the value took place, the demand
having been limited. The public sales of 80 tuns went off
quietly. Cod has been operated in with caution, and there
is a desire to sell at 27/ to 27110 s per tun, whilst the market
is well supplied. For Seal the demand has been extremely
limited, and prices are little better than nominal. There has
been little desire evinced to operate in Sperm, and quo-
tations have given way ; the market having been more
freely supplied. Of Fish Oils the arrivals have been
upon a more extended scale since this day week,
and the tendency of prices is downwards for all
kinds. Lard Oil is little wanted. Although there are sellers
of Palm upon lower terms, still exporters and the home trade
operate with caution by private treaty, and a public sale of
96 casks went off quietly. Cocoa Nut is still in scanty
supply, and prices in consequence range high. Olive is
offered upon further reduced terms. Rape Seed Oil met with
little attention. Prices role firm for Linseed Oil, and pur-
chases to a fair extent have been made by the home trade,
whilst the shipping orders executed have been on a more
extended scale.
TALLOW.—A further decline has taken place in the value
of Russian on the spot, and the town as well as country trade
have purchased with much caution. Holders are evidently
willing sellers. The deliveries, however, have again been
small. For delivery in the last three months of the year a
good demand however existed : but there is a desire to realise
at 45s to 45s 6d per cwt. Home made is plentiful, but the
demand has been limited. Other kinds of Tallow are little
wanted, and can be obtained is to 2s under former rates, as
the supply is yet plentiful.
