GRAIN AND SEED. 
Friday, Oct. 20.—The arrivals are small this week, not only of En¬ 
glish but all Foreign Grain. This morning the attendance at market is 
limited, and Wheat finds few buyers although prices are firm. Barley 
a quiet trade, without alteration in price. Oats are held by the Factors, 
but the consumers take the new qualities rather slowly, and such are Cd. 
lower. In other Grain on change, and generally a moderate business. 
Flour the same as on Monday. The arriv.al of Seeds fresh up to market 
continues small, and prices are firmly supported. Linseed finds rather 
less fleraand, and Cakes do not sell so actively. Tares for sowing are 
lower, but seeds for manufacturing purposes all support the late quota¬ 
tions.

HOPS. 
Borough Market, Friday, Oct. 26 .—Our market during the past 
week has been heavy, and as consumers are now tolerably well supplied 
with Hops there is less business doing. A considerable quantity of 
Brown and inferior samples having been brought on sale, prices for such 
descriptions have declined from 8 s. to 10 s. where sales are pressed, and 
good qualities have been bought at somewhat lower rates than last week.

POULTRY. 
The supply of Poultry is more than equal to the demand for it. 
Much of it shows by its quality, that the food is dear, as it lacks fatness. 
The report of the week would be that the market was very heavy.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Rumour (IF. IF.).—No one has a right to give pain and annoyance 
by queries founded on rumours that may be groundless. If any reliable 
evidence can be produced, then let the fact be published. 
Greenhouse over Oven {Amateur). —Not knowing the aspect, nor 
any other particulai, how can we give an opinion ? Have you tried 
“ Chase’s Composition for destroying Black Beetles ? ” They would not 
touch plants. 
Ankrlet Snow {Fairplay), —The Judges, unless called upon by a 
1 Committee, have no right to interfere after having given their award. 
I Names of Plants (A S«5.smier).—Yours \i Phytolacca decandra, 
! or Virginian Poke. (It/, M.). —1. Lastrea dilatata, 2. Lastrea filix-mas. 
3. Aspleniumfilixfamina, 
j Seedling Geranium (P. O.). —We have a decided opinion on your 
I variegated seedling, but we cannot express it so late in tbe season. We 
I should have seen it six weeks ago. As the public hold us to be a good 
authority for bedding novelties, we are bound to certain rules, one of 
which is, that an opinion on a seedling Geranium seen after the end of 
September, or a seedling Rose before the 1st of May, is not trustworthy, 
and might do harm. 
Errors (J, A. Summers). —Mr. Beaton says he is very much obliged 
to you, and more so if you would take the same trouble whenever you 
see anything wrong, or which you may think wrong. We ourselves 
noticed the misprints in Fabvier and Podocaipus; and he says he won¬ 
ders that one so near the Crystal Palace as you are did not know that 
Coprosma and Armera are names “before the flood,” and that one 
might be excused for altering them to something like what Noah might 
be supposed to say. He also says, that we are not to hold the Crystal 
Palace people responsible for such names as are sent into them, until 
I their collection is officially named afresh, which it needs.
