GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
The somewhat variable weather of the past week has caused anxiety amongst farmers and others, as the crops are now at that stage when severe or unseasonable weather wonld do much damage. Yesterday was very fine, and a continuance of such days wonld be a great benefit to the country. Bnt little bnsiness has been transacted during the week, which is not to be wondered at, being the usual feature of the trade during this month. In wheat, a few sales of both old and new are reported, the former at 4a to 4s 3d, and the latter at 3s 9d, contingent on early delivery. With reference to the quantity of wheat ice-bound in America, about which such contradictory telegrams were published a short time ago, we find from exchanges to hand by the Sau Francisco mail that the total quantity is 5,419,055 bushels. Flour has bnt a small demand at £ll for best brands. Oats are quiet, and sales made with caution at Is 5d to Is 7d, according to quality. Barley finds bnyers at 3a fid for prime samples, bnt second quality is not easily placed. Grass seed is now offering, and sales are reported at 2s fid. Dairy produce is unaltered.
