PROTON Buy Clovjr Seed Early Prlmo red duTer eecd .was quoted at ?C;153 on the Toledo market of the Ijih instant. Torr.nto prices then ranged about §3 per bushel in advance of IVilcf o prices. Clover seed that would grade " prinie '' un the Toledo market could be bought in Toronto at $38.50 and, bectiuee of exchaiige eoi.ditions. Jelivui-ad to L'nited States points at approximately $'Jo per bu^h»l, or about ?2.50 less than t1»e Toledo price. The money situ-vlieu, short supplies and sn earlmr deuiand in the Uuitei\ States, will axuiain the heavy exports of clover seed. The prct) of rod clover seed has idvanueJ almost $1-1 per bushel on the Toledo n;;vrlief bince May I.-wst. The vTDv'id suoply will not bo sufficient to meet; iiiiraal rtquiremonts.
