New Crop Burey.-Owing 20 unsuitable
weather conditions the receipts and sales,
although large were far behind those
of this week last year. and. as predicted
In my last as probable, the week showed
very active, strong, and satisfactory
one for sellers, more particularly OF good
crops.
The character Of the offerings this week
was greatly improved by considerably
more shipments of the better grades from
various and widely apart districts, as II
90 test the market before the old yea,
ended When the fact Is recorded that
Zoe. 10 &c. was paid, with some OF the
leading buyers holding on until after the

Of the market can be best understood,

hitherto paid this season. IN this or any
