being freely imported remain only on a par with 

 hog-feed, the mildness of the season making the 

 demand unusually small. Should a sharp frost 

 come on, we may see these latter rally, as stocks are 

 not heavy. 



Linseed, though cheaper, has not declined at the 

 rate noted in November. The first Monday having 

 an unusual supply gave way Is. to 2s. per qr., but 

 arrivals since not exceeding an average, the prices 

 have not further receded, though business finished 

 slack. Foreign cakes were less in request, but the 

 limited stock of English, and the preference given 

 to this quality, have served to keep up their value. 

 With the exception of canaryseed, which has given 

 way about 5s. in the month, there has scarcely been 

 any change in the value of seeds. Cloverseed has 

 begun to arrive from America, Germany, and other 

 parts, in moderate quantities, and some English 

 samples have appeared ; but though so near the 

 season, buyers have kept entirely on the reserve, 

 money being too scarce for speculative purposes, 

 and the houses in France generally coming best off 

 by realizing prices on their first sales, which have 

 not paid here. English dealers this season appear 

 to prefer a change. Prices in Paris now appear to 

 have reached their lowest ; and if business be de- 

 ferred till the demand ensues, there may be a 

 healthy and profitable trade. Mustardseed has 

 continued at nominal rates. Rapeseed, hempseed, 

 carravvay, and coriander, have only been placed in 

 retail at old prices.
