The grain and produce market during the pvst week has not been particularly animated. Wheat continues to be received by rail in quantities for shipment, but sales bave not been current to any extent.

Thick wheat is selling readily at 2s 6d to 3s. Oats are without the slightest change, and transactions have been of a most retail character. Quotations remain at Is 3d to Is 5d for feed, and Is 7d for milling. Potatoes. — Forward sales to a moderate extent aro re ported at 27s Gd to 355, but prices will in a week or two be more determined.
