SEEDS.

The position of the agricultural seed trade remains
pretty much as noted in our last ; in fict, the present
is the must quiet month of thc whole year, the curl.
SUMptiVC demand being, of course, almost nil, and
the amount of speculation on hand being a,
limited
as possible. A few export orders for clovers,
drop in, which are executed at full prices. Mustard
and rape seeds are both very firm, and holders confi-
dently anticipate higher rates for both descripsions.
Trifolium inimrnaturn now meets with more attention.
In canary seed the upward movement has continued ;
prices now are nearly double those of a few months
back. Hemp seed, on the other hand, is still very
cheap. In receding tares and linseed there is no alte-
ration. Blue peas are in brisk request.—John Shaw
and Sons.

MANURES.

The season for the use of nitrate of soda may now
be considered fairly over. The price still rules low,
with large stocks in hands of importers ; higher prices
may salely be looked for another season The
importers of guano have reduced the price to:. per
ton. The continued dry weather has in many cases
kept the orders for turnip manure back, but with a
few showers there is still a good trade to be dune
before the season closes.
