permanent reduction in values, the crop abroad 

 being generally reported deficient. 



Since the monetary j)ressure, the seed trade 

 generally has been in perfect calm, dealers appear- 

 ing determined to wait the events of the season. 

 The crop of red cloverseed in this country is, 

 nevertheless, reckoned to be quite a failure. It is 

 reported to be so in several parts of France and 

 Germany, and therefore, both here and abroad, 

 prices have been fully maintained. America seems 

 the only country whence plenty can be drawn. 

 "White seed remains dear and trefoil firm. Canary- 

 seed has been quite a drug, though not quoted 

 lower. Other seeds much as last quoted.

PRICES OF SEEDS. 



LONDON, Monday, Dec. 24. — The market for Seeds 

 does not offer any new feature for remark, there being little or 

 no business passing in any variety. Red seed is held firmly, 

 and but few samples of the late arrivals are offered on the 

 market. White seed is without business, as also are Trefoils, 

 cxce('t choice qualities, Canaryseed is without inquiry, and 

 low qualities are ot very irregular values,
