Shipping lines of good ordinary milling command 4s lid to 5s f.0.b., whilst for long-berried Tuscan 58 2d has been paid. Seed parcels of this description are changing hands for coastwise shipment at 5s 3d to 5s 4 f.o.b. Chickwheat is in strong request at 3s to 3s 6d. Flour remains without alteration at £11 10s per ton for sacks f.o.b. Sharps command £6 10s. Oats.— The anomalous state of this market still exists. Stocks are light.
