GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

The market during the week has not been particularly active. A livelier time would most likely prevail if freights were lnoio immediately available. Wheat.- Values have not altered in any material degree. Good milling stands at 3e 5d to 3s Gd. and for favorite sorts 3s 7d to 3a 9tl is still being paid. The wheat that has already come to store is in spendid condition, and from most sources we leatn that the grain is the finest that has been gathered for many years. Oata are moving quietly at isGd to Iβ 7d for best milling lota ; feed quality Is 3d to la sd. The demand does not show any sign of improvement. Barley.—The market still presents the same feature. Best descriplionsare quoted at 3s to 3s 6d, and other sorts at 2s 3d to 2a 6d. A few feed parcels have been .quitted at la Bd to Is Gd. Gra*B-seod remains at previous rates, business in rye-grass being greatly restricted, owing to the advanced prices asked. 3s to 3s 6d for best samples is demanded, but buyers to hold continue chary in purchasing. Considerable sales of cocicsfoot are reported at 2£d to 2j[d according to quality. Dairy Produce.—Butter, 6d to 6£d ; cheese, 3d to 3£d ; hams and a bacon unaltered.
