BRED.

LONDON, Monday, Aug. 23.—There are yet few parcels of
Cloverseed offering, and prices cannot be fixed for either
red or white qualities. Trifollum incarnatam was in good
request, and is. per cent, higher for both English and French.
Trefoil met more inquiry, and was held with firmness at
rather higher rates. Canaryseed was sold on about former
terms. Duteb Mempseed realised former rates steadily. A
few parcels of new white Mustardseed were cffered, but held
too high for the large buyers; the condition of the new
ESllla crop promises to be good, and will most probably meet
a ready sale at the price of the times. English Rapeseed was
in good request, at rather more money ter the finest quail.
ties. New Rye, winter Barley, and winter Oats were taken
off at moderate prices for green produce to some extent.
