Malt during the course of the month has found 

 but a dull dragging sale, and the price of the best 

 Ware has receded -is. per qr., leaving its value G7s. 

 per qr. 



The oat trade has given way during the month 

 about is. per qr., the heaviest fall being on the 

 first Monday, when the smallest arrivals were re- 

 ported ; but ihere were many cargoes that sub- 

 sequently got up to market, and added to the then 

 depression. Subsequently they were recovering, 

 but the last Monday again was easier, especially in 

 Russian qualities, which greatly predominated. 

 Some demand having sprung-up for the near 

 foreign ports, we can hardly look for much easier 

 rates before the new crop is gathered, as stocks in 

 the country run short, and our Scotch and Irish 

 supplies have almost ceased. 



During the four weeks there were 629 qrs. Eng- 

 lish received, 1,026 qrs. Scotch, 1,035 qrs. Irish, 

 and 209,909 qrs. foreign. 



Beans and peas have neither been in quantities 

 of home-growth or foreign ; but, with the limited 

 inquiry always obtaining at this period of the year 

 and relatively high prices, they have maintained 

 their value fully, closing with Is. per qr. advance. 

 The imfavourable reports respecting the appear- 

 ance of some pieces, from the great heat, have made 

 •holders firm. The receipts through June for Lon- 

 don have been in beans 970 qrs. English, 3,419 

 qrs. foreign : in peas 154 qrs. English, 6,375 qrs. 

 foreign . 



The linseed trade has been very firm all through 

 the month, in consequence of a free export demand, 

 but there has been no advance. The imports into 

 London for the four weeks were 17,320 qrs. The 

 exports 18,673 qrs. Cakes have found a tolerably 

 free sale at full prices. 



The seed trade has been perfectly calm. Un- 

 favourable reports have come from the continent 

 respecting the crops of cloverseed, and there has 

 in these parts been a rise in prices; but the losing 

 character of the last season has made speculators 

 very cautious here, especially as our own crops are 

 considered to give a fair promise. The low rates, 

 however, to which prices of red sunk, dispose 

 holders to rest on their stocks, so that little has 

 been offering on the market, either red or white, 

 and the rates of the former are rather improved. 

 Canaryseed, from its scarcity, has kept very high- 

 priced ; but as soon as the new crop is harvested, 

 which- looks uncommonly fine in Kent and Essex, 

 it is reasonable to expect a great reduction from 

 the present high quotations — 90s. to 98s. per qr. 

 No tares have been left over. White mustard 

 has preserved a high value, and brown continued in 

 neglect. Rapeseed has improved from the failure 

 of the crops in some parts of Europe, Hempseed 



has remained steady. Coriander and carraway 

 have found a retail sale, with scarcely any change 

 of price.
