GRAIN AND PRODUCE REPORT.
Messrs WilJiam E. Reynolds and Co., Bond street, report for the week ending 17th May as follows-: —Wheat. — The demand -is rather better for prime grain. Prices, however, can hardly he quoted higher. We give them at 2s 7d for prime velvet, 2s 4d to 2s 6d for Tuscan, and 2s 3d for red sorts; fowls' feed up to 2s. Oats are meeting with a much better demand owing to supplies being low and growers holding. Outside markets are slightly better in consequence, but do not admit of shippers paying to-day's prices— viz. : Prime milling, Is sd; prime sparrowbills. Is 4J<3 ; good, sr-und feed, Is 4d; ordinary, Is 2Jd to Is 3Jd. Barley. — There is too mucli^ of ordinary quality offering, and sales of quality are hard to affect ; prime selling readily at up to 3s 4d, extra fine Lakes 3s 6d, while ordinary is only worth 2s Gd to 2s lid. Potatoes are a glut, and best price going is 35a for prime. Chaff market is in much the same position, and any but prime, which we quote £2 2s 6d to £2 ss, is almost unsaleable.
