COMMERCIAL.
Messrs. Bromley & Buller report that at their recent sales of cattle and horses, good prices were realised. The former, although poor in condition, secured buyers at remunerative figures. The horses also sold well. A good demand is springing up for sound weightcarrying hecks.
LONDON SEED MARKET.
Messrs John Shaw and Sons, of 37 Mark Lane, London, E.C., report through their agent, Mr Leonard W Blake, of Christchurch, that the seed trade for the fortnight ending
January 27th, was almost at a standstill, owing to the excessively severe weather prevailing during that period, and until that, changed nothing probably would be done. English red clovers were being offered less freely, fine samples making more money. American quotations were coming firm. Alsyke tended upwards. Choice jvhite clovers continued scarce. Lucerne, dearer. Trefoil, unchanged. Ryegrass, steady. Spring tares, owing to impeded navigation, in short supply; prices, consequently, advancing. Canary and hemp still remarkably cheap. There was an increased sale for oatmeal. Haricots, lentils, pease and other similar cheap articles of food.
