SEEDS. 
Гохрох : March 9.—Messrs. John Shaw & Sons, 
seed merchants, of 37, Mark Lane, E.C., report 
a good seasonable all-round sowing demand. There 
is no material alteration in the values of Clovers and 
other seeds, which still stand at a remarkably low 
age Firm rates prevail on the Continent, whilst 
rri om erica are insignificant. For 
i oe give s there is an i d demand, but 
quotations continue exceedingly moderate. 
is but little doing in Mustard; Hemp and xni 
are also dull and neglected. Blue Peas and Hari 
Beans remain inanimate.
