Oats. — We are pleased to report that during the past week tYre has been considerable activity in the market. Somewhat ex?o £er -t e d reports as to the advance in prices have appsaiad during the p^st few days, which were rot borne out by Monday's polling values, 'ihcie is, however, a decidedly stronger tone. Prime quality is readily saJp.ible at an adv&nce of Id to ljd per bu-he!, nnd mrclium d'Pco'.oured sorts, if found :>nd suitable for shipment, at 2d pe'- bushol m excess of lat>i qrotations We quote Seed lines, 2s Sd lo 9.a 10:1 ; prime milling, 2s C>\d to 2s Bd , best feed, 2s 5d to 2a 6id ; good, 2s dd. to 2s 5d , medium, 2s to 2s 3d per bushel (sacks extra).

Wheat — Millers' requirements r.re chiefly coiifincd to prime milling quality, for v.-hich tliTe is a fair demand on the basis of late va,rc3.

Chuff.- — Prime oaten sheaf is ofierhif; Bpr.rirgly, aud commands ready sale at prices fully equal to late values. The market is well supplied with chaff of medium quality, wh-c'-i is not greatly in favour with buyers, and- is difficult to quit at late values.
