MARK LANE.

In most of the country markets held on Saturday only
moderate supplies of wheat were brought forward. The
trade was by no means active—nevertheless, in some in-
stances, prices advanced is to 2s per quarter. All kinds
of spring corn moved off freely, at full quotations. Flour
ruled about stationary.
On the Continent wheat has become less active. In the
United States both wheat and flour continue to fluctuate
in prices.

The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon-
don last week amounted to 33,'•50 qrs wheat, 3,719 barley,
40,992 oats, 40 beaus, 7,610 lins%;ed, 6,529 rapeseed, 5,746
Indian corn, 377 sundries; 3,912 sacks, and 9,243 barrels
of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning,
coastwise, and by land carriage, were only moderato. At
the commencement of business factors demanded an ad-
vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of is
to 2s per quarter. The demand, however, was inactive,
and the actual rise in prices was about is per quarter for
picked samples.

There was a fair inquiry for most descriptions of foreign
wheat at an improvement in value of is per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sa!o at the late
azlvance.

The supply of both English and foreign barley was
limited. Sales progressed slowly, nevertheless late rates
were well supported.

Wo have to report a slow inquiry for most descriptions
of malt at about stationary prices. The supply was sea-
sonably good.

Although the supply was good oats moved off freely,
and the quotations had an upward tendency.
There was only a moderate supply for beans, yet prices
were well supported.

Peas wero quito as dear as last week, with a very
Limited quantity on offer.

Rye and Indian corn were very firm. The supply of
the former was trifling ; of the latter, tolerably good.
Both English and foreign flour was inactive, at last
week's currency.

Seeds and cakes supported former terms.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was seasonably woll supplied with
foreign stock, which change hands steadily at full quota-
tions to a slight advance. . .. . .

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of
beasts wore less extensive than on this day fortnight ; but
their general quality was tolerably good. For nearly all
kinds the demand ruled steady at an advance in the quota-
tions of 2d per 81bs. The top figure was 5s per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received about 1,700 short horns, &c.; from
other parts of England, 570 various breeds ; and from
Ireland, 230 oxen, cows, &c. Tho condition of the latter
portion of the supply was very inferior.
The supply of English sheep was very moderate, both as
regards number and quality. On the whole there was a
fair average business doing in all breeds, at an improve-
ment in value of 2d per 81bs. The best Downs and half-
breds changed hands at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs.
The sale for calves was steady, at about last week's
currency—viz., from 4s ld to 55 4d per 81bs. The supply
was very moderate.

There was a fair inquiry for pigs; at previous quotations.
The number on offer was seasonably good.

WOOL.

The transactions in colonial wool by private contract
have been very moderate, at about late rates. The next
series of public sales are announced for the 14th proximo.
Up to the present moment the arrivals comprise about
70,000 bales. In English wool very little has boon doing,
at our quotations. Last week's imports consisted of 1,306
bales from Algoa Bay, 341 Melbourne, 1,255 Port Philip,
and 776 bales from Brisbane.

The October session of the Central Criminal
Court commenced to-day. The calendar contains
the names of 108 persons for trial. There is only
one case of wilful murder, that of Rose Matthews,
a girl only 19 years, who is accused of destroying
the life of her child by cutting its throat, and whose
trial was postponed from the September session on
the ground that evidence could be brought forward
to show that the accused was in such a state of mind
at the time the act was committed as not to be re-
sponsible for her actions. There is a serious charge
against a married woman named Sarah Raeburn, of
having attempted to murder her child by throwing
it into a quantity of lime and water, with the in-
tention of suffocating it ; and there is another
charge of a similar nature against a prisoner named
James Green, who was formerly a police-constable,
the charge being that of attempting to murder his
wife by shooting her. There are three very important
commercial cases that were specially postponed to
this session that will have to be disposed of. The
first is the case of Mr. Thos. Edgeley, who for
many years carried on business as a merchant in
the City of London, and who is charged with
having obtained more than £lOO,OOO from the late
Leeds Bank by means of forgery and false pretences.
This case, from the former position of the accused,
and the large amount of money which he is alleged
to have fraudulently obtained, which is stated to hays
been theimmediate cause of the stoppage of the bank
in question, creates a great deal of interest in commer-
cial circles, and the trial is expected to occupy a con-
siderable time, special counsel having been retained
both for the prosecution and the defence. Another
case, of the same character, is that of a prisoner
named John William Hurst, who was clerk to a
stockbroking firm in the City, and who is accused
of robbing his employers to the amount of £13,000.
The third case of this kind is the charge against
two gentlemen named Grubb and Robinson, who
formerly carried on an extensive business as ship-
brokers, and who are accused of having unlawfully
appropriated to their own use the sum of £2,000
which they had received on account of insurances
effected upon a vessel. Among the other cases of
public interest that will have to be disposed of at
this session is that of Thomas Ellis, alias Morgan,
the sham detective, who appears to have carried on
a most extraordinary syst,ma of fraud. There is
also the case of the fashionable swindler, who re-
presented herself as the lion. Geraldine Meurice,
and also as Lady Meurice, and who contrived by
her specious representations to plunder some of the
principal West-end tradesmen of valuable property
to an enormous amount.
