though as yet there have been but few transactions. 

 The opinion that we have a fair crop of seed in 

 this country is hkely to keep buyers on the reserve 

 till the season really opens. Foreign spring tares, 

 beginning at easy rates, say 43s. to 44s. per qr., 

 have found some buyers. Canaryseed has been 

 reduced in value about 2s. per qr., fair quality 

 being procurable at 58s. to 60s. per qr. In 

 hempseed, mustardseed, and the seeds used in 

 confectionary, a retail business has been trans- 

 acted, at about former rates.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. 

 LONDON, Saturday, Dec. 24th.— Since our last report, 

 owing to the late severe weather, the arrivals of home-giowa

 For all kinds the trade is somewhat active, and prices have 

 advanced. Present rates are as follows :

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 

 LONDON, Monday, Dec. 26.— Since our last report, 

 more disposition has been shown to operate in most kinds of 

 English wool. Holders, generally, are very firm in their de- 

 mauds ; but we have no actual change to notice in value. The 

 supply of wool on offer is limited, aud higher rates are gene- 

 rally anticipated.
