GRAIN REPORT.

Mussm SAMtmr. Oim ,wn Co., Stafford Btreet, report for the week ending July 20 as follov/s :—

Wheat- The market for tin's cereal continues linn, anil although sales are not large, millers are taking up all consignments now coming to hand. Prices remain much about, the same as last, week. Onrquotationsare: For prime milling 4s to 4s 2d, although Tuscan and red straw, which appear settee, would command a little more ; medium to good, 3s 9d to 3s lid ; inferior and fowls' iced, 3s 3d to 3s 7d.

Oat?.—The market for tiiesc does not show much activity, although a considerable quantity is changing hsuds for shipment and milling. Prices show no material alteration, although bright sorts are in far demand. Our Melbourne advices say tliat the market there " is slightly tinner m d prices look on tiie mend." We iiuolel'or prime milling anil heavy bright fced.lsSM to ls9'il; oivlioi" yi'eed,lsßd tolsßjd; medium, ls 7d to ls 75d ; inferior, ls 5d to ls Ojd. Barley.-The market for this is quiet, stocks being small and demand slight, and very little business ih'ing. Prime malting we quote at 3s lOd to -is ld ; medium to good, 3s lid to 3s Dd ; feeding and milling, 3s to 3s 3.1. h

Grass Scid,—We are still unable to report any transactions of importance, the demand h.dng weak, and prices purely nominal. A fair demand exists for cocksfoot, although business is limited, buyers not caring to give prices asked—viz., for good clean seed, ■1}:1 to 5d ; medium, 3J! to 'Id per lb. N.B.—We beg to announce 13 our numerous grain constituents that we receive consignments of wool, sheep and rnhbitskins also, so tbat any sent will have every attention paid to them. We muke this announcement through this source as many of our friends have been nnder the impression that we confined ourselves simply to grain and seeds.
