In favour of the seller.
NORWICH—There was a fair supply of wheat on offer
here. Trade wee quiet, and in most cases former rates
were continued without alterations.
NOTTINGII AM. —ln tbe valley of the Trent this week
the effects of tbe late copious rains have been seen, a good
deal of land having been submerged. The crops, consider-
ing the downpour, are not so much damaged as might
have been expected, although some of them are laid to a
serious extent, and in the wheat fields sprouting has
occurred. During the last day or two the weather has
been liner, with •cool temperature, and harvest operations
have been resumed, the attendance of farmers at market
being in consequence sinall. The supply of wheat was
middling, and the trade was quiet, prices being in buyers
favour. New white, 610 to 680 ; new red, 608 to tes ; old
white, 034 to 700; old red, fa, to fitle per hi stone. Oats
and beans were each in small supply, and found purchasers
at about the rat•-• of this day ea nnight.
OXFoltD.—The attendance in the Corn Exchange was
again very small, awl business was not of a torink
character. Wheat was in short supply, and the samples
of new in the market were shown in anything but lint-
rate condition, but there was little variation in price, a
remark which also applies to barley and oats. Wheat, !
54s to Oh; barley, 320 to 40. ; and oats, 264 to per qr.
READING.—rhe snicks of millers having become
reduced, there was a better inquiry, which led to higher
rates being asked. This checked the tone of trade, and
sales were afterwasds effected, generally at about the
terms of a week ago. But little barley was on offer, and
none that was new, and twice. were merely nominal. A
small supply of new oats, for which there was little
enquiry. For old sorts the demand was of a quiet
character at unaltered figures. Other Lent corn was dull
in sale.
YORIC.—We had a limited supply of wheat to-day, and
there was not much life in the trade, holders trying to
establish more money than buyers would give. Eventually
sales were niade to a limited extent at rather ititfer prices.
Whites 'wide Ms. to 68a., and rents fills. to 6.14. per quarter.
Grinding barley was quoted at 31.1 s per quarter.
