OEAIN. Wheat — There is fair inquiry for primo velvet and Tuscan, particularly tho former, which seems to be m short supply, while the quantity of medium. quality and red wheat is pretty heavy, and will hardly bo touoted by the local miHor3. while prime can bo secured at late quotations. Considering tho prica paid for white velvet, it would almost appear as if buyers will be called upon to pay more m order to secure their requirements, and then no doubt medium will have more attention. Inferior to good fowls' wheat is m steady demand, bat thoto is no improvement m prica. Best velvet and Tuscan 3j to 33 2d, medium to good red straw 2s 10d to .Ti, inferior to medium 2s 5d to 2a 9d, ex atora (sacks weighed m ; terms'.
