5,532 qrsi., against 2,869 qrs. English, 2,978 qrs. 

 foreign, in 1859; so that the present supply has 

 been nearly double what it was then. 



No foreign peas whatever have been received 

 during the month, and the English supply has 

 only been moderate. The demand, however, of 

 those for hog-feed has been checked by the lower 

 price of grinding barley^ and there has been very 

 little inquiry for boilers. Slill the shortness of 

 the arrivals generally, as well as the small stock 

 of foreign boilers, have rather improved the value 

 of all sorts, and should any large contracts come 

 out, there would be difficulty to meet them, and 

 prices must advance for white. 



Linseed has been in moderate supply during the 

 month, and all through there has been a steady ex- 

 port demand. There has been great firmness in 

 the trade, and a further improvement of about Is. 

 per qv., notwithstanding the high range of prices. 

 Cakes have continued to sell well at full rates, 

 their nutritive qualities being more and more ap- 

 preciated, especially at a time when keep has been 

 short. 



The seed trade has had to contend with the 

 difficulties of an extremely backward season, which 

 making holders anxious, has lowered prices 

 and lessened trade. Red cloverseed has, therefore, 

 rather given way, and the same high prices can- 

 not be obtained for white as of late. Trefoil has 

 also ruled dull and cheaper, and the same state of 

 trade has obtained in France. Tares have also 

 been less in demand, small being worth about 45s., 

 and large have been selling at 56s. per qr. ; but 

 rapeseed and fine white mustardseed have ruled 

 firm. Carraway, coriander, and other seeds have 

 sold on hardly such good terms.
