all round; the figures, however, do not tempt specu¬ 
lators to operate. The reports from the producing 
districts vary considerably with respect to the 
prospects of the growing crops, but the season 
is not yet sufficiently far advanced to admit of a 
correct estimate being formed. Perennial Eye Grass 
maintains the late advance, and the recent showery 
weather has materially improved the appearance of 
the crop in prospective. Sowing Eape and Mustard 
meet with fair demand, and values are unchanged. 
Tares are also inquired for in small quantities, and 
fine samples are scarce. Birds’ Seeds of all kinds 
steady, at last week’s quotations.
