In Chelmsford market the fall in this article was at least ss.
per quarter on the prices obtained the previous week, and
even at the decline but few sales could be effected. The
nominal fall in wheat was 25., but the quantity brought to
market, and the little business done, gave indications of a
much heavier depreciation. At Colchester the effect was
similar, and also at Stowmarket, Stortford, and other mar-
kets in Suffolk and Herts, held since the measures were fully
explained in Parliament. It is a little singular, that in
n2arly all these markets there was a rise of 3s. or 4s. per
