The trade for wheat in tho country markets held on
Saturday was very firm, and an advance of is, 2s, and

trade was very firm, and home-grown produce was held at
an advance in price from Monday last of 5. per quarter.
Millers, however, were unwilling to buy at this advance,
but a clearance was eventually effected at a rise in the
quotations of 3s. to 4s. per quarter.

supply of produce on the stands was but moderate, and an

afloat realised extreme, and, in some instances, higher rates.
