GBAItf AND PBODUCE. The grain market remains without noticeable alteration, notwithstanding the faot that offerings are very light. In wheat no b ashless of any moment can be no'ed, and quotations are therefore somewhat difficult to name. At Timara, however, some 40,000 bushels are said to have ehaxsged haada at 4s 6d. Flour moves in trade parcels at ill to £ll 10s. bat a very much better demand could be des in d by millers. No alteration can be noted in the cat market, and with Bpring at hand it is feared that a revival is unlikely, unless some marked alteration takes place in Australia. Some amall tranfactions have been carried through at from 2a lOd to 3s. Eye grass seed and clovers for spring Bowing are moving off at up to 5b 6d for the former. The potato market haa slightly improved in tone, and more business ba3 boen camsd through at from 30a to 40s. Dairy produce is unaltered and the market rather l.w, but sprrog Supplies will shortly be available. COMMERCIAL TELEGEAMS. Gbhtmouth, August 28 Messrs G. W.
