OUR WESEI?LY REVIEW.
THE NORTHERN MARKETS.
'Although deliveries of the new season's
grain have not yet taken place in any ap
preciable quantities, the proximity of a
,busier period is apparent. Algerian oats
have come forward in limited supplies,
and stout white oats are quoted as high
as 2s ld country stations. The local mar
ket has of late been comparatively bare of
,chaff, and sales of old and new hay have
"been reported during the week at £2 per
:ton at stack. The glut in potatoes is
gradually working off, and new standard
sacks have sold at prices ranging from
Bs 6d to 4s Cd. Consignments of dairy and
separator butter are still comparatively
heavy, and quotations in dairy produce
generally show little variation. The
iNewstead fat stock market on Tuesday
,wans fully supplied with sheep and lambs,
good qualities being sparingly represent
,ed. Sales opened with weak competition,
'and continued throughout, quotations on
:the whole being decidedly in buyers'
favour A full yarding of beef came for
,ward, the quality generaly being above
the average. Notwithstanding, sales were
pvery dull, quotations being the lowest ex
perienced for some considerable time.
