THE FARxMER'S MAGAZINE. 



The seed trade, though many enquirers have ap- 

 peared, has not yet commenced, the reported entire 

 failure of the English crop not yet giving courage 

 to dealers to get into stock, But holders, knowing 

 how things are, have been firm, and there seems 

 every prospect of red seed being dearer, as France 

 promises but small imports. Spring tares are 

 beginning to get into demand, and full rates have 

 been asked, say 64s. to 66s. for Baltic small. 

 Canary is quite neglected, though offered low, the 

 quality being poor. Other seeds much as last 

 quoted. 



HOP MARKET. 

 BOROUGH, London, Jan. 28.— We continue to expe- 

 rence a steady trade for yearlings and good samples of earlier 

 date, but for the new growth the demand is very limited.

WOOL MARKETS. 

 ENGLISH WOOL MARKET. 

 LONDON, Monday, Jan. 23.— Notwithstanding that the 

 supply of Euglish Wool on offer is very limited, and that the 

 stocks in the hands of the manufacturers are trifling, we have 

 again to report considerable heaviness in the demand for all 

 kiuds, owing to the high lauge in the value of j money in (he 

 discount market, at barely stationary prices. Until money 

 becomes cheaper we can hardly anticipate any improvemeot in 

 the wool trade.

LEEDS (English and Foreign) WOOL MARKETS, 

 Jan. 25. — There is no improvement in demand, and yet prices 

 are not materially lower for English combing wool. Short 

 wool is in fair demand. In colonial wool there is a moderate 

 trade. The state of the American market has checked many 

 branches of trade, which otherwise would have been busy. 

 LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, Jan. 26. 

 Scotch. — There is a fair demand for good Laid Highland 

 at fully late rates, while inferior is still neglected. White 

 Highland is pcarce, aud enquired for. Cheviots are not so 

 much enquired for : the high relative value checks consumption.
