Messrs John Shaw and ;; Sons, of 37 Mark Lane, London,' E.O, report through their agent, Mr Leonard W. Blake, of Chri-tchurch, that the market 'during the fortnight ending Jantiary 12th was grad- ▲ ually becoming more /active after the - : quiet experienced as usual during! the Christmas holidays. Considerable activity was begmning to mark the. trade for farm seeds, increased enquiries coining ia from the country. The speculative demand, also, was extremely active. Parcels were quickly changing hands at enhanced rates. Cable advices just received from America described red clover there in. very short supply, and a further substantial advance in it had been established. For Continental samples higher prices were asked ; in fact, values all round exhibited extreme firmness, and stocks generally, for the time of the year, were' -exceedingly light. V Alsyke "and white clover were meeting with more attention.
