whatever came within his reach. He was observed to take
some meat off a stall, and when stopped, the bag containing
the articles above described, were found upon him, all of
which, there was no doubt, he had stolen from tradesmen's
shops.
The pris(iner made a curious defence : he said that he was
on the road to Manchester, and that the " grub " found in his
bag was giVen to him by different people to help on the way.
Evidence, however, being adduced that the prisoner was in
the habit of pilfering, he was accordingly committed for a
month.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Business in Wheat fresh up, owing to the factors demand-
ing from Is to 2s per quarter more money than last week,
progressed slowly; eventually, however, the demand became
steady, but not the slightest improvement was, noticed on
last week's rates. The show of fine foreign Wheat was mo-
derately good. Fine Dantzic qualities moved off steadily;
other kinds slowly, at last week's currencies. Bonded Grain
almost nominal in value. Fine malting parcels of Barley
sold at full currencies; in other kinds very little was doing.
Malt at unaltered currencies. Full prices were obtained for
Oats. Beans and Peas at an advance of from is to 2s per
quarter. For Flour prices remained about stationary.

The Beef trade was unusually-dull ; indeed, we scarcely
ever recollect a worse market for Beef. Notwithstanding the
salesmen gave way in prices from 2d to 4d per 81bs, scarcely
any progress was made in sales, and the very highest figure
obtained for the best Scots did not exceed 3s 8d per M.%
The numbers of Sheep were again- extensive, yet the primest
old Downs sold at prices fully equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnight. The middling and inferior kinds, however,
were a shade lower. For Lambs last week's prices were sup-
ported. Calves at previous currencies. For Pork no altera-
tion to notice.
