SEEDS. 



London : August 22. — Messrs. John Shaw & Sons, 

 seed merchants, of 37, Mark Lane, E.C., report 

 to-day's market quiet but firm. For every descrip- 

 tion of Clover seed the tendency of values is still iu 

 an upward direction. In Alsike and white the 

 recent advance is well maintained, and the turn for 

 red Clover seed now appears to have come. The 

 crops in Ireland of both perennial and Italian Rye- 

 grass are said to be good. New English Trifolium 

 offers at moderate quotations. Blue Peas are rather 

 dearer. There is no change in either Mustard or 

 Rape seed. New winter Tares are slightly easier. 

 Seed Rye keeps steady. For bird seeds the trade is 

 slow.
