Oals are without alteration. For good feed we quote Is 2ti to Is 3d. For best milling a better demand has beon ex-, perienood. but prices have not been affected in any wuy. For this class of oats Is 4d to Is 4£.l is quoted. Barley remains hard to quit. Fm- fifst-elass, of which little comes forward, 3< 3d to 3a 4d is quoted, while good malting ranges between 2s 6d and 3s. F.»r other kinds the range of prices is very wide.
