nominal character. There was some demand for seeds.

Romagna, Fem. 21.—There was very little or no
variation in the price of grain at this corn-market, the
stands at which were well supplied with samples, many
of which, however, were out of condition and altogether
unsaleable. All dr; and fine samples realised late rates,

qmlities can be bought on lower terms. Foreign 3d. per
