to hand, and the supply was rather on the increase. The
business doing was very limited, yet no change took place
in the quotations.
Earley was in moderate supply and fair request, at full
prices.
Malt was very dull, but not cheaper.
We were well supplied with oats, and all kinds met a
dull inquiry, on rather easier terms.
