GRAIN AND SEED. 
Friuay, .Ian. 25,—The arrivals still continue unimportant. From 
abroad there is but one cargo of Wheat and two of Oats, and the English 
(|uantitica are still not too abundant. 'I bis morning there is no greatly 
improved tone in the Wheat tra.ie, buyers and sellers appear eiiually 
inditTerent, and Wheat moves otf slowly at the late decline. Barley in 
more demand, at Grm prices. Oats Gnd a limite.l consumptive trade at 
Monday’s rates. Beans, P. as, an.l other things are Grin. Town Flour 
is without change, hut Norfolks realized about 1 '.. more money.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
CoRiPOST FOR Vine Border (J. ill.).—This is very good ; indeed, too 
good. We should not, have added either the stahle-mannre or the rape- 
cake. Your turf, taken (rom an old, light pasture, with your additions 
of ono-sixtecntli lime nihhish, one-sixteenth good loam, and half-a-ton of 
inch bones, would he quite fertile enough. 
Camellia Buds dropping {Roderick Random). —When this hap¬ 
pens, it is quite certain that there is a discrepancy between the activity 
of the ronfs’and the activity of the leaves and branohes. 'The soil is too 
cold, or too wet, or too dry, as compared to the temperature or moisture 
of the house. 
Colchester Poultry Show (E. .4.).—We can insert no more com¬ 
munications on the subject, as Mr. Tegetmeier has referred the Committee 
to his attorney. 
White-crested Black Poland 'with frothy eyes {G. It.).— The 
frothy discharge from the eye arises from a catarrhal affection of the 
mucous membrane. I would suggest a trial of Copaiba, as described in 
the last number. The extreme hunger of the bird leads to the suspicion 
of scrofulous disease of the bowels, in which case the recovery is exceed¬ 
ingly doubtful.—W. B. T. 
Barton Poultry Show. — “ Vour correspondent, ‘A Poultry 
Amateur,’ is rather wrong when he says that Mr. Boothby’s Polands 
were disqualiGed. It was only his pen of White-crested Black Polish
