THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. 



consequence of the high range of prices. The 

 fluctuations have been too small for quoting, and 

 rates continue much as they commenced, with 

 rather more firmness on the part of holders, from 

 the smallness of supplies and few prospects as to 

 ample receipts for the future. Bombay is worth 

 68s. to 69s. ; cakes also serve to keep up the 

 rates from the extensive demand experienced 

 through the high price of meat. 



Of cloverseed there remains too little stock for 

 any large speculative business, and holders are 

 content rather to wait the result of the growing 

 crop than make sacrifices. Trefoil has been quiet 

 neglected. Canaryseed has alone exhibited an 

 upward tendency, and that contrary to expectation, 

 there having been some foreign demand. Mustard- 

 seed and hempseed have also been full-priced ; but 

 till the new crop of the former, as well as of rape- 

 seed, come in, there is likely to be little^doing in 

 either. Of good seed tares scarcely any samples 

 are left, having been liberally used for feeding, 

 from the high price of peas and beans. In carra- 

 way, coriander, and other small seeds, the business 

 done has been at much the same prices.
