There has been a very fair business doing during
the last week, and prices are hardening. We quote:

SEEDS. -

Owing to the recent rains there is a good deal of
business now doing in our market. The articles most
in • request are naturally those needed for immediate
sowing, viz., winter tares, rye, trifolium, mustard, and
rape seed. Clover seeds excite, asyet, but little
attention. Tares, being in smaller supply and increased
demand, are held with more firmness. For trifolium
incamatum a good many orders continue to come to
hand, which are executed at fully late rates. There is
no change to report in the value of either rape or
mustard seed.
