Cocksfoot has an upward tendency for immediate orders, but merchants are indisposed to speculate to any great extent. Clean heavy seed sells at 4d to and light foggy parcels at 3d to BJd. Potatoes—On account of the large quantities offering buyers have red need their prices, and at the moment it ia difficult to obtain over 50a at country stations; but as soon as the needy growers have quitted we expect a better market.

Pairy Produce—Prices are without alteration, and business is of 4 limited nature.
