LONDON SEED TRADE.
Messrs Jolm Shaw and Sons report through their agent, Mr Leonard VV. 15 fake, of Christchurch, that the seed market dining the fortnight ending November 15th, was in a very excited state. Continuous wet and stormy weather in the iirst part of it, still further reduced the prospects of the new English crop, and cablegrams from the United States reported red clover seed extremely linn, and almost every available parcel had been picked up for their own consumption. These-two facts caused the market to he very linn for red clovers, whilst for alsyke, prices have advanced very considerably', the crop turning out very badly. Trefoil and foreign Italian rye grass were both somewhat dearer. Rape was wanted for France, but not much was to be had. Canary tended upwards. Hemp rapidly falling. The imports into the United Kingdom of clover and grass seeds during October were 20,750cw(5, value LSI,OOI, against lS,B2scwts, value L 33,038, in October 1881.
