Oats.—The demand for Tartarian seed is active, and prime samples are aomewhat difficult to obtain ; Is lOd to 2e, c.i.f., for lines are current auooatioua. Feed oata are quieb, heavy purchases made earlier in the season having blocked business for thotimo being. Potatoes.—Southern table sorts are a shade firmer, and stocks locally are lighter than for many weeks past. This condition of things will, as is customary, ba suddenly reversed by heavy shipments. Southern advices indicate a firm tone with farmers, who decline accepting present rates, If chia continues, buyers will have to come up in their values. Seed potatoes of all sorts are in keen &mwd* aa& rcolfefi fair prie«e.
