Business, however, during the week has been Very restricted, -_tdl e__.c- ralaes ___ therefore cti_lCL_l- _o d.termiQe. Mm mmy* w m improved feeilns in oats, and prices are A Shade higher, possibly owing to a better disposition on the park of Australian buyers, but with our heavy stocks, holders are not hopeful of any marked advance. ' Barley is dull aad .1 uggis'n at last week's values. Potatoes fitill continue their downward course and prices are at a level, I which Mast be the revef.e of rematiera- ! tiv. to growers. Prospects in Australia are anything but reassuring atld buyers are naturally very timid, k_oWine as t__jy do the treacherous nature of this product. Beans are in fair request _or shipment to London, and prices are well maintained, but peas remain in much the same position as when WO last wrote. Grass seeds do not call for sps-ialcdmment. Butter has only a languid enquiry, and our exports show » considerable Shrinkage. Cheese is without quotable change. A steady soaking rain fell during the week, and was most acceptable to fegt-CUl-turi.td. M _ ■ The following are tbe quotations of the day:— ■
