Oats. — Last week's quotations arc fairly maintained, and good lines are readily placed at 2s ld to 2s 2d for prime milling ; good feed from Is lOd to 2s ld ; inferior lots, about Is 9d. Barley. — A few enquiries for good malting to ship coastwise, have been fairly met at satisfactory priceß, prime, malting, 49 to 4s 4d ; mediom, 3s 9d ; interior lota not inquired for 2s Od to 33 ; for seed aa much as 4a 6d oan be got for choice samples.
