Merchants and millers report that litte or no wheat is offering. The market is very firm, and that, in the absence of offers, no business can be done. Tho same may be said of oats, and orders are being filled out of store. ’l’llere is an enquiry for oats and chaff from Australia, but at present prices any business from .that quarter is likely "to be done in tlio South. A fair amount of business continues to bo done in potatoes at quotations.
