Whether • maintenance of theie ex treme rate* can be looked for is somewhat doubtful, though that wheat is likely to command full value for some time seems to be generally acknowledged. Oats— Littlo or no business doing. Barley — A few parccls have changed hands in prime malting ; feed it neglected. Beam and Peas— But few offering ; stocks in growers' hands are light, and any good lines would find a market at quotations. Grass Seed— The season in rflmoat over, and distributors compliin of xhi «mall demand this season. The recent wet weather may cause a slight enquiry yet. Potatoes are unsaleable.
