GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS.

(BY OT7R COMAIKRCIAI. KDITOR.) Tuesday evening. Business is very quiot m the grain and produce markets. There is no wheat- offering, and in viow of the easier tone in tho Australian, markets there is no speculative demand, and consequently no business is being done between merchants. In tho absence of supplies there are no transactions in oats, except in small Jots for seed. Chaff is firm in consequence, of the offerings being limited, as it is "worth more in country districts than in town. Tlie potato market is very slack, sales with northern ports being difficult to effort.
