In the leading country markets held on Saturday the
fluctuations in the value of wheat were comparatively
trifling, and the demand was chiefly confined to imme-
diate wants. All spring corn was firm in price.
The continental markets have exhibited very few
changes of late. Wheat has ruled inactive ; but spring
corn has sold at full quotations.

Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were 14,137 quarters of wheat ; 6,360 blrley ; 37,469 oats ;
211 beans ; 288 peas ; 15 tares ; 3,010 linseed ; 943 rape-
seed ; 280 mustard seed ; 2,175 sundry seeds ; 54 sacks and
194 barrels of flour. .

Fresh up to-day a very moderate supply of English
wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land-carriage, but
its general condition was good. As a clearance was effected
on Friday, the stands were rather scantily filled with Sam.
pies, owing to which, and to a fair average attendance of
buyers, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at fully last
Monday's currency, to a slight advance in prices.
There was a fair show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as
ex-granary. On the whole, a steady business was trans-
acted in most qualities, and prices generally were well
supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were sold at full quotations ;
but the business done was not extensive.
We wore fairly supplied with both English and foreign
barley, in which a good business was transacted at last
week's quotations. Inferior qualities, however, were is
cheaper.
Fine malt was in moderate request at full prices ; but
other kinds meet a dull inquiry at the late decline.
Although the show of foreign oats was extensive, the
oat trade ruled steady, at full prices.

Beans and peas—the supplies of which were by no means
extensive -moved off steadily at last week's currency.
The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported.

WOOL.

There is very little business doing in any kind of foreign
or colonial wool ; nevertheless holders are very firm, and
prices are well supported. There is less activity in the
sale for English qualities at late rates. Last week's im-
ports amounted to 301 bales from Port Philip, 620 from
Port Elizabeth, 1,063 from Algoa Bay, and 20 from Gib-
raltar.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--k's Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN BE DOCEREEI.

This bankrupt was described as a wine and spirit mer-
chant, of the Shakspeare's Head, Perceval-street, Gos-
well-road, and to-day came up to pass an account,
prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner, from which it
appeared that the debts are only 7081. 134., and that
the property has realised net 2131. There was a loss of
633 f. 125., from the depreciation in the value of the
lease, &c., which cost the bankrupt 1,0001. about 12
months since.

Mr. Chidley appeared for the banLrup', and the official
assignee being satisfied with the accounts, the bankrupt
passed.
