Several small lots have changed hands at 4s at country stations. A lino of good milling tuscan (total, 5000 bushels) has been sold at 4a Id to* 4s 2d, a small portion of it having been sold early at the higher figure, and the balance has since been disposed of at 4s Id at a country station. There is not much business doing in oats, though there is a fair enquiry, but the broken weather prevents farmers from getting supplies threshed and ready for market. _ A few sales are being made of feed lines at la 3d to Is 3£d at country stations. Grass seed is still offering freely, but sales aro not easy to effect.
