MARKET IV EIVS-Cl'll Y DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
To-day's market was very scantily supplied with fresh
English wheat. The demand for all kinds was very inac-
tive, yet prices were well supported.
There was an average business doing in foreign whet,
the show of which was good, at full quotations.
Floating cargoes were neglected but not cheaper.
.We had a dull inquiry for both barley and malt, at
barely Monday's decline in the quotations.
The oat trade was dull, but we have no change to notice
in prices.
Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at late rates.

SAVING OF FLAX SEED.—THE RUSSIAN WAIL—The
Royal Flax Improvement Society of Ireland has just
issued a circular to landed .proprietors and farmers in that
country, containing advice which similar parties in Eng-
Lind and Scotland may profit by. It is as follows :
Farmers are earnestly requested to observe, that so long
as the war continues, Riga seed cannot be ha I in suffi-
cient quantity for the Irish. sowing. Unless they take
care to save seed for themselves, from the crop that is
now growing, they will not be able to sow the usual quan-
tity next spring. This would be very unfortunate, di,
the high price at which flax must keep, during the war,
should induce them to sow largely.
WICK HERRING FISHERY;—The July fishing. closes
to-day, July 29, and presents returns far from favour-
able, and, with scarcely an exception, much under
those of any former season for many years. .The total
yield 'or the July fishing. along the whole North-east
coast of Scotland, from Shetland to. Berwick," cannot
exceed 10,000 crans,. or barely a 'fifth of the usual
average.--Northerm NP^s492l'
