The following ia the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday, July 13th, 1888:— The exceptionally fine, weather of the past month has allowed farmers to complete the winter sowing to great advantage. Attention is now being turned to spring requirements. Orders are poming forward for both' seed tusoan and ryegrass. Deliveries by rail are now almost a thing of the past, exoept from ex store at country stations, all of whioh are keenly competed for at our quotations. Freight to London is still soarce as prioeß are ruling high. Wheat.— Tuscan prime has a' strong enquiry for shipment and readily commands 2s 9d ; pearl has a better enquiry locally for milling at 2s 8d to 2s 9d; hunters, whioh is m plentiful supply, ranges from 2s 7d to 2s 8d ; ohioken wheat is m a little better demand, whole is worth 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and broken Is 9dto2s.
