Milling, 4s to 4s Id; the season for sowing is now almost over, and we have notransactions to report. Barley—The remark" made last week on this cereal apply equally to this. Prime samples wonld command 5s $d to 5s fid; medium, 4s 6d to 4s 9d. Oats—The demand has very sensibly diminished, and the market weakening.
