COURT OF BAMKRUPTCY.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were mo-
derately supplied with wheat, in which about an average
business was doing at barely stationary prices. Barley
was in steady request, at full quotations. Oats, beans, and
peas were very firm, but flour met a dull inquiry.
Most of the Continental markets come rather heavy for
wheat. In prices, however, very little change has taken
place. Spring corn has sold at full quotations. Dull ac-
counts continue to reach us from the United States. Very
limited supplies of English produce reached us last week.
Tho imports from abroad were 10,075 quarters of wheat,
8,512 barley, 27,781 oats, 1,870 linseed, i,478 rapeseed,
245 sundry seeds, 1,931 sacks, and 2,250 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of
English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a
very limited scale ; hence, and more especially as a good
clearance of the stands was effected on Friday, the show
of samples of both red and white was small. The trade,
however—owing to the favourable accounts at hand in re-
ference to the crops- .was in a most inactive state, and, in
some instances, prices ruled is. per quarter lower than on
Monday last.
We were fairly supplied with nearly all foreign wheats,
fresh as well as ex-granarv. The firmness of holders
checked the demand, which ruled exceedingly heavy, and
so little business was passing that prices were nominally
the same as on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
The show of barley was very limited, and the trade
ruled firm at very full prices.
Malt moved off slowly, yet the quotations were sup-
ported.
There was a good supply of oats on offer, yet the oat
trade ruled firm, at very full prices.
Beans were in short supply and good request, at is per
quarter more money. •
For peas we had a good sale, at an advance of is. per
quarter.
The flour trade was very dull, and country marks were
offering on rather lower terms.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE JOHN VICKERS,

This bankrupt had carried on business in Eldon-road,
Kensington ; Cross-lane, St. Mary-at• Hill ; and High-
street, Southwark, as a wine and spirit merchant, and
now came up to pass his last examination.
The debts are set down at 1,1251. ; assets—good
debts, 7601.; the profits were set down at 21. 3s. Si. ;
expenses nearly 2,0001., of which nearly 8001. were
estirnited.

Mr. Bickley, for the assignees, was not satisfied with
the accounts, which differed from those filed by bank•
rupt in the Insolvent Court.

Mr. Hart, for the official assignee, said they differed
in form, but he could trace the items. He did not think
that any benefit would arise from an adjournment.
The bankrupt then passed, all questions as•to conduct
to be reserved for the certificate tneeting.

We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign
stock, which sold steadily.
For the time of year a full average supply of beasts came
to band from our own grazing districts, in fair condition.
Although the attendance of buyers was tolerably numer-
ous, the beef trade ruled far from active. Compared with
Monday last, however, very little change took place in the
quotations. We may observe that the general top figure
for beef did not exceed 4s 6d per 81b. A few very superior
lots went at 4s 8d per 81b.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
receive.] 1,6C0 Scots and shorthorns : from Lincolnshire
and Leicestershire 500 shorthorns, fry other parts of
England 303 of various breeds, and from Scotland 12 Scots.
No beasts reached us from Ireland.
We had an increased supply of sheep in the market ; but
its general quality was by no means first-rate. The best
Down's and half-breds were in steady request, at Friday's
improvement in value of 2d per 81b. Second-rate sheep

Although the supply of both English and foreign calves
was very moderate, the veal trade ruled dull, and in some
instances prices were a shade lower than on Friday. The
bast calves sold at 4a 101 par 81bs.
Pigs were in fair supply and heavy request, at last week's
currency.
