THE MENDED PRIZE FIGHT.

Ti. following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
eTening:—

This afternoon Rooke, who was on Saturday
apprehended by Inspector George Silverton and
Sergt. Pahner at Watford, on a warrant charging
him with being about to commit a breach of the
peace by engaging in a prize fight for £25 mid.)
with a man named Goller, was brought to Bow-
street Police-court in order to put in bail for his
future good conduct. Twenty-four hours' notica
having been given to Inspector Silverton of the
names of the parties offering themselves, inquiry
hal been made, and, in answer to Mr. Flower, the
magistrate, Inspector Silverton said he was quite
satisfied that the bail tendered was of a responsible
description, and therefore the prisoner might safely
be allowed to go at liberty. _ _ _

Mr. Flower said he was glad to hear it,
and he was further gratified at the frank-
ness of Rooke, who at once withdrew from
that which he found was illegal. A man need not
be a liar although he was to fight, and he should
have accepted his bail on Saturday last only he had
not the power. He hoped that his friends and
companions would see the folly of attempting to
engage in such contests, as whatever the secresy
observed it would be useless, as the police in the
present instance had shown.

The necessary forms having been gone through,
Rooke was discharged.

111ARKE7 S-7 HIS DAY.

COTTON.
LIVERPOOL, October 6.—Sales probably 10,000 bales.
Market quiet and unchanged.

HAY AND STRAW.

Supplies are quite adequate to demand. Wheat is dull.
31eadow hay, Tos to 100 s ; clover, 80s to 1265. Straw, 28s
to 32s per load.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

Sugar.—The late imports have added perceptibly to the
stocks, which are now 91,300 tons against 101,500 tons
last year at this time. The deliveries, too, have fallen off,
and the effect is to render buyers more cautious in their
operations. For refined sugars the market was opened
with a very limited inquiry, and although sales are not
pressed at any apparent decline, the tendency is in favour
of buyers.

Coffee—The statistics of this week continue very favour-
able. The deliveries are large, and have further reduced
the stock to 25,000 tons, against 21,000 tons last year.
Our stock represents only 15. weeks' requirements, at the
present scale of deliveries, whilst that last year repre-
sented 17 weeks' requirements at that time. It follows
that, relatively, our supply is less ample now than it was
then. The market is steady, with a fair inquiry,
floating, as well as ou the spot, and a cargo of Rio has
been sold for Antwerp at 36s 101 d.

Tea.—There is some demand for fine now season's teas
at 2 6d, but the general market is quiet.
Rum.—Stock, 29,300 puncheons, against 31,500 pun-
cheons last year. The market is firm.
