GRAIN, AND PRODUCE MARKETS.

(bt our commercial editor.) •__-■. Friday Evening. The grain market is extremely quiet at tho present time, there being no move in either wheat or ■ oats, and barley is practicably unsaleable. A quantity of oats has been shipped by the Westmeath for West of England ports, and it is hoped that further shipments in this direction will relievo the market. There is very little grain offering by growers. " .
