Me. J. H. Kilgoub, gram and produce broker, reports under above date as follows : — Wheat: There continues a fair demand for all descriptions, but prices have not advanced, there being no demand for export, and millers bold supplies to keep them going for a considerable time. I quote 3s 4d to 3s 5d for best milling sorts, and 3s to 3s 2d for ordinary ; inferior and fowl leed are still scarce, and worth 2s 8d to 2s lOd. — Oats : The market continues quiet, there being no margin to admit of shippiug at prices ruling here — viz., 2s for best milling, and Is lid for bright, short feed.
