Markets dull as dry weather stifles corn trade
In the Corn Exchange this day, millers and traders appeared in meager numbers as prolonged dry weather kept buyers away. Wheat from English districts was scarce with new varieties fetching high quality samples but overall sales slow. Oats and beans held firm prices, malt pricier, flour scarce yet selling moderately, and seed markets largely uninterested. Arrivals show modest English and foreign stocks arriving as markets tighten.
