! THE LOCAL MARKETS. } Uaniaru Mail Office, ! Monday afternoon. I Lnrjl!v the markets arc at a- standI (.till and it i? a long time since there I iva-i -n much all-round stagnation. I Yerv little wheat is offering; indeed, 1 it «h'Ci not appear that there is now I much left in first hands. Millers, on I t|m i.l||py hand, arc not anxious to I !nn\ in fan- <>f the casing of the Home I markets and lhc heavy importations I of Australian flour that arc taiing I plate. Loyally the wheat market shows 1 no marked Mgns of casing to. any cs--1 tnnv. hut the difficulty is to lind purI rhiiMTs for anv lines that happen along. 1 mid it almost looks as if sellers will I have to nic-i buvcrs to the extent ot !ld to IUI i.er bushel on ruling quotations if "business is to be done.
