LONDON SEED TRADE.
Messrs John Shaw and Sons, of 37 ..... Mark Lane, London, E. C., report through their agent, Mr Leonard W. Blake of Christchurch, that the market, during the fortnight ending November 30th, continued active. Alsyke was the article then ..... most; in favour, and several lots bad changed hands at enhanced rates. Red Clover remained unchanged ; advices from America state that the receipts of this seed, to date, of crop 1882, were only 10,335 against 13,000 to that time in 1881, Trefoil was firmly held, the home crop being scanty and scarcely any foreign offering. • White clover, and foreign Italian Rye Grass were fully as dear, more money being asked for the latter’ which buyers were reluctantly compelled to give. There were numerous enquiries for Canary Seed, and prices were steadily advancing. Rape Seed was raeet- ■ ing with a good demand, and was held for more money. Mustard was firm. Hemp Seed quiet, but just a trifle dearer. Linseed dull.
