CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, and all kinds sold heavily on
rather easier terms. Barley was dull, And prices had a
downward tendency. In the value of oats, beans, and peas,
very little change took place.
The French markets have become heavy, and prices have
given way ls. to 2s. per quarter. At New York an in-
creased export business has been transacted at higher
rates.

The arriyals of English grain up to our market, last week,
were moderate. From abroad we received 27,296 quarters
of wheat, 13,103 of barley, 38,770 oats, 2,332 beans, 2,614
2,614 peas, 3245 linseed, 6,800 rapeseed, 2,654 maize, 392
sundry seeds, and 21,641 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of Eng-
lish wheat were moderately extensive, and the general
quality of the samples was fine. In both red and white
qualities—owing to an almost entire absence of buyers on
French account—sales progressed with considerable slow-
ness, and, compared with Monday last, the quotations rea-
lised exhibited a further reduction of 2s to 3s per qr.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied, and the de-
mand for all descriptions ruled inactive. In several in-
stances prices gave way is per qr.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at
about previous currencies.

The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, and a fall
of is per quarter took place in the quotations.
Malt moved off slowly, yet no material change took place
in its value.

Fine samples of oats supported former prices ; but low
qualities—the supply of which was large—were a dull in-
quiry, at barely late rates.

Beans were in very moderate supply, but slow request,
on former terms.

The demand for peas ruled inactive, yet prices were
stationary.

In most kinds of flour the business doing was very
moderate. The quotations, however, on the whole, were
fairly supported.

LA TV INTIELLIGENCE—IThis Day.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
THE RELATIONS OF MASTER AND SERVANT.-IMPORTANT

CASE.-ILIDDLEDITCH V. MOSES.
This was action to recover £3 12s. 7d., as follows :
£1 165., a week's wages, partly earned; £1 16s. wages;
in lieu of notice, and 7d. overtime.

Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, called his client, who
proved having been discharged in the middle of the
week.

Defendant's witness produced a book, in which plaintiff
had agreed to "be discharged at a moment's notice, and
not to demand any notice."

Mr. Buchanan—Will your Honour hold such a notice
binding upon plaintiff ?

His Honour—lt is a contract ; and, indeed, the relations
of master and servant are entirely resolved into one of con-
tract. The master thinks nothing of the welfare or com-
fort of his servant, and the servant very little of the interest
of his master. Plaintiff is only entitled to the wages
actually earned.
Verdict for 18s. 7d.
