There is no change to report in the local grain market since the beginning of the week; no" wheat is coming forward, and the price at which oats can he purchased does not admit of further shipments being made to London. Therefore, the only business in oats is for a verv limited local trade. Potatoes are rather firmer, though there i 3 not much response from north to offers of supplies. The principal enquiry- is for Derwents, whose keeping qualities for the end of the season are better than those of Up-to-Dates.
