COMMERCIAL.
London Seed Market.—Messrs John Shaw and Sons, of 37, Mark Lane, London, report through their agent, Mr Leonard \V. Blake, of Christchurch, that the seed market during the fortnight ending November 15th was in a very excited state. Continuous wet and stormy weather in the first part of it still further reduced the prospects of the new English crop, and cablegrams from the United States reported red clover seed extremely firm, and almost every available parcel had been picked Up for their own consumption. These two Lets caused the market to be very firm for red clovers, whilst for Alsike prices have advanced very considerably, the crop turning out very badly. Trefoil and Foreign Italian rye grass Were both somewhat dearer. Rape was wanted for Fiance* but not much was to be had, having tended upwards. Hemp is rapidly falling. The imports in the United Kingdom of clover and grass seeds during October were 20,750 cwt, fvalue L34,06i ; against 18,825- cwt, value L 33.038, in October, 1881.
