CORN EXCHANGE.
The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week* ending Thursday, March 29th, 1888:—
A large business has been transacted m all kinds of grain, and it would have been Btill greater had bottoms been available. The London market remains easy, and with the available supply from other •wheat-growing countries, we fail to eea any prospects m the immediate future. A few intercolonial have come to band during the week which have had the effect of enlivening business,
Wheat. — Prirao Tuscan is still m best demand at 2 3 9d, and Pearl is also very Baleable at 2s 81 to 2s 9d ; Bunter's at 2s 7d to 2s 8d ; chicken wheat (broken) 23 to 2s 3d, -with good demand.
Oats. —An improvement has been noticeable m this cereal, ani up to la 8 i haa been paid for tho best lines of short feed Dins and seed tartara are also wanted for shipmeot at a similar figure. Inferior kinds, however, are not being dealt with to any greac extent.
Bablky — Prime lots still command full rates of 4s 3d to 4s 4d, but second quality are rot so saleable as they were, most of the maltsterß being to some extent independent for the time being.
Beans have a ready sale at 2s 6d, but growers are asking on advance. Business consequently has been restricted. Peas are dull, 2s 3d to 2a- 4d for feeding sorts, and 2s 8 i to 23 9d for Prussian Blues are the rates.
Gsass Seed. — Sales are very slow, orders are coming to hand very slowly, and prices show no improvement on 2s to 2a 3d for farmers' parcels, and 2s 9d for machiDe-dressed. Cocksfcot is quiet. A few sales have been completed at 3i to 3^d for heavy, bright seed ; inferior ia not being dealt m. At the present great difficulty is experienced m getting freight for London.
