SEED,

LONDON, Monday, April 24.—There was a very limited
quantity of English Cloverseed offering, and prices were well
supported. Foreign qualities were held with firmness,
stocks of these being much reduced.. Trefoil was saleable,
but at less money. Tares were purchased Slowly; the
supply being above the demand, prices were generally lower.
English Rapeseed very scarce, and held at high prices.
Canaryseed was dull, and drooping in value. Dutch Hap.
seed sold on about former terms. White and brown
Mustardseeds were in small supply and prices well sup-
ported. Grass Seeds realised as much money as previously,
with a moderate sale.
PROVISION.

LONDON, Monday, April 24 —lhe arrivals last week from
Ireland were 10 firkins Butter, and 2,587 bales Bacon, and
from foreign porta 23,522 packages Butter, and 2.674 bales
Bacon.—The arrivals of foreign Butter being barely equal to
the demand, the market rtued steady, without change in
prices, with the exception of beat Dutch, which declined to
114 s. to 136s.—The Bacon market remains steady for Irish,
with rather a quiet demand, but Hamburg sells well, at last
week's decline.
