Old wheat is offering plentifully, but buyers are not anxious. No new saTiipies are yet in the market. Oats are dull of siiie owing to the large quanties of new that are on hand. Barley: Malstera are waiting patiently for the new crop, and decline to operate with old samples. The cocksfoot harvest promises to be an exceptionally good yield, and the quality should be first-class, but prices as yet are not determined. Dairy produce is brisk at quotations.
