Grain. -Wh-at: Market continues very inanimate, and there appears no desire on the part of millers to operate, excepting for really choice samples, and for these there is a reluctance to cite the prices demanded by holders. Lnqni y very small for fowl feed. We quote—Prime milling, 4s GI ; medium (nominal), 3s (i I to 4s ; fowl feed (nominal), 2s 01to3s 31. Oats : We quote LG I to Is St for milling, and Is ad to Is 71 for good feed, but transactions are very restricted. Now that supplies are coining forward more freely, holders will pro’.abiy have to give way .v.m.c'.vhat, in which event more business may be looked for Birley: Good making samples can be placed without difficulty at 3s Gd ; for inferior descriptions there is little demand. We quote ordinary to good 2s 01 to 3s 3d per bushel.
