tion ill the price of oats, it canuot be expected there 

 will be much advance at this time of year. Some 

 of the recent arrivals of Alexandrian have been 

 placed at about equal to 35s. per qr. in granary. 

 The arrivals for the four weeks into London have 

 been 1,810 qrs. English, 2,910 qrs. foreign, against 

 1,390 qrs. Enghsh, 527 qrs. foreign in 1859. The 

 imports into the kingdom during May were 38,432 

 qrs. 



Peas have likewise been without variation in value, 

 the receipts of home grown being quite insignifi- 

 cant, but made up by foreign supplies. Many of 

 these were low white and green sorts, only fit for 

 horse or pig food. Barley being lower has been 

 against a ready sale, but prices have been firm, there 

 being very little, if any sort in granary, so that any 

 contract for the navy would be sure to send up the 

 price of boilers. The receipts into London for 

 four weeks have been 188 qrs, English, 5,207 qrs. 

 foreign, against 259 qrs. English, 1,978 qrs. foreign 

 in 1859. Tlie foreign imports for the kingdom in 

 May were 26,007 qrs. 



Thesupplyof linseed in four weeks was 37,447 qrs., 

 of which there were 11,216 qrs. taken ofF on ex- 

 port. Prices have rather tended upward, say 6d. 

 to Is. per qr. in the course of the month. But 

 cakes since the abundant rains have not found so 

 large a demand or quite so good a price. 



The seed season being over, there has, since the 

 bad weather, been more enquiry for cloverseed. 

 But little appears to be held over, and still less for 

 sale of red qualities, the holders being more dis- 

 posed to wait the chances of the crop, which does 

 not promise well. Even white seed has been firm, 

 But though trefoil might be expected to advance, 

 it has only been calm. Canaryseed, after long 

 being dull, has risen in value from 54s. to 60s., 

 with some prospect of a further advance without a 

 favourable change. Mustard seed also of fine 

 quahty is held at a high price, and the value of all 

 seeds under the possible damage to the crops has 

 been tending upwards.
