COMMERCIAL.
S. C. Times Office, Thursday Evening. The grain market is still very active and deliveries are going on rapidly since the weather has settled. Farmers do not seem disposed to force sales, although buyers are very anxious to do business. Quotations for the week are :—Wheat, 4s 3d to 4a od ; oats (feed), 2s lOd to 3s ; milling, 3s 3d ; barley, 2s 9d to 3s 6d, according to quality. A large lot of 16,000 bushels of wheat and oats was offered in town to-day. A merchant offered 4s 5d for the wheat and 3s 3d for the oats, but the offer was declined, the seller saying he could do better.
