LONDON SEED TRADE. Messrs John Shaw and Sons, of 87, Mark Lane, London, E.C., report through their Agent, Mr Leonard W. Blake, of Christchurch, that during the fortnight ending August *2(ith tin market was quiet. Red clover exhibited increasing firmness owing to cable advices from America, announcing that the export movement to France had assumed important proportions. This still further points to a failure of the crop there, and not only there, but the prospects of the new crops appear universally bad. Long prices are being asked for new trefoil, anil it it is expected that both a Dyke and white clover will also he high. The consumptive demand for trifolium was keeping good at late rates. Italian rye-grass was held for enhanced prices, which prohibited business therein. Mustard and rape seeds, for sowing purposes, were hardening in value, as also were winter tare, hemp, and canary, the latter being several shillings per quarter dearer. Scotch turnip seeds very scarce, and 10/ to 13/ per cwt. dearer.
