The Inquiry as been rather hotter, but buyers decline to give tho ; tra price at present. In oats no improvement Is oticoable, and in tire absence of transactions it is imisslbie to glvo quotations. Barley continues dull, id no improvement in value is reported. There is (tie offering, and owners have iaith that prices will use right later on. Potatoes continue in active de- ■ and. Owing to the extrorao prices asked by the farers, it is quite impossible to giro a reliable price, it fnrm“rs* demands range from £3 10s to 10s nj ■untry stations, ft is probable that at the former ■ ice a considerable business might bo done.
