GRAIN MARKET.
Wrtetat Stephenson, and Co report ior the week endinir 24th inst. :-There is no change to chronicle. Market dull, and very few transactions occurring Maclean Bros, report tor the week ending 18th inst- --Tlie market has been exceedingly quiet during the week, very little new grain being- yet on offer and we have no sales to report. Quotations are nominally : Wheat, 49 6d ; barley, 5b ; and oats, 2b 6d for prime Bamples of the new crop. H Driver reports for the week ending 17th inst. : The'market still remains quiet, little or no business Heine done. . An English telegram, says a contemporary, in another column announces a rise of 11b to lis Cd in xrheat If, as we presume, this means per quarter this would be an advance of nearly Is 6d per bushel on late rates. We hope, for the sake ot New Zealand producers, that such is the case. The following are tables of quotations of the prices ot British wheat in London, extending back as far aa the year 1840. They are compiled from the • Statistical Abstract,' published under the authority of tne Home Government. The first column indicates the highest average, and the second column the lowest average, while the third gives tho general Myomere for the year :—
