ASH BURTON MARKET.
Tho past week has been a quiet one in the local '■grain, market, and there is evidence that the bulk of the grain for the season has been handled. Wheat'is still plentiful, and only odd- lines are moving off in fulfilment of new orders, although there is still a large quantity of wheat to deliver which was sold weeks ago, having been held .up for lack of trucks. '"'■' r
Oats.—Offerings by growers are not heavy, but merchants are showing'little interest at rceont rates, stating that the cost is above the parity a t which new contracts can bo made. Noniinally, values may Ijc quoted at 3s lOd '*"' for B grade, os lid for A grade, 4s I'ov milling, on trucks, stations. In many cases buyers arc only prepared to operate at about 2d per .bushel below these rates. Duns run from 3s 9d to 4s, on trucks, according to description. Algerians are hardly as firm as during the past fortnight or "so, and may be quoted ai, 3s, v 6d for feed lots, up .to 3s, 9d for seed.
Chaff.—Recent prices are maintained at from £6 10s to £6 15s for prime; but the position lacks confidence.
