SEEDS AND OILS.

In his weekly Circular, Mr. Jas. Samuelson says : " During
the last few days there has been an increased demand for Oil
Seeds, both for export as well as home consumption, and the
prices may be noted a shade higher. The weather, which has
been very severe since Wednesday last, is calculated to
bring about an improvement in Cakes, and should it
continue, prices will soon be considerably higher. Oils
remain in fair demand, but unchanged in price. Fine

from Calcutta has increased this depression to-day, and very
little business doing. Yarns, with the exception of Mediter-
ranean qualities, are id. down from the highest point, and
goods, with few exceptions, may be had on easier terms to-day
than last week.
