The offerings of wheat in tho local/inar"";,3tot, -which were plentiful up to about the •end of last week, have eased off a good- ■■■ deal, and business has been slacker in consequence. Most, of - tho parcels that ~;hav« changed hands were quitted at tho maximum Government prices, but sales 'have also been made at lower rates for " >-amples, which were of.low T er grade. The ' "demand for oats still continues, hut offer- ■; ings are very scarce indeed. , Moderate ■ business in potatoes is reported, and *. prices have cased a little. THE METAL MARKETS.
