MARKETS.
LONDON SEED TRADE. Messrs John Shaw and Sons, London, report that tne market during the fortnight ending December Ist 1881, was ex* remedy quiet. Red clover was hot materally weaker, except fur the poorer grades of foreign,which failed to find buyers. Fine English cow grass and red clover was in poor supply and quickly sold. While clover was unchanged ; not much doing in it, but full prices were maintained.: Alsyke continued very firm, with a brisk demand for finest qualities. There are some very choice samples of English alsyke this year, which entirely eclipses everything else as to quality. Trefoil, Italian, and perennial rye grasses were quiet, without change in values. Timothy was firmer and the opinion appeared to be gaining ground that fine coloury seed will be fully as dear as last year-, but poor and discoloured seeds may be quoted weaker than in our last report. Canary and hemp with a fair demand must again be noted slightly cheaper.
