New South Wales, none offering. Flour. — Stocks have again been augmented during the past week by fair additions from neighbouring colonies and our various country mills. Buyers operate chiefly for immediate requirements afc the following rates : — South Australian town brands, £10 15s to £11 5s ; country, £10 10s to £10 15s ; Victorian, £10 15s to £11 10s : New South Wales, £11 to £11 10 a ; roller and Bpecial, £11 10 dto £12 10s ; New Zealand, £9 10a to £10 15s.

There is a strong inquiry for prime samples of bright heavy feed at 2s 7d to 2s 9i per bushel. Medium and discoloured lots are also moving off from 2s 4d per bushel. Seed quoted 2s 7d to 3s per bushel. Barley. — No improvement to note. Cape seed, 3s 3d to 3s 4d par bushel. Bran. — Market continues firm at Is 61 per bushel. Pollard. — Limited stocks are in request to Is 8d per bushel. horses. M r George Kiss reports. — There has been a large supply of horses from city and suburbs, as well as a few odd lots from the country. The attendance daily has been good and bidding dull, except for upstanding useful young animals, which sold slightly better than previous week, no doubt in consequence of several being purchased for Kimberley, and expect an improvement again shortly. Useful horses are scarce, and not many high-class horses are to be seen. Heavy draught are selling slightly better. Active draught and van horses without alteration. The following are my quotations during the week :— Best saddle and harness horses, from £20 to £35 ; useful ditto, from £10 to £17 5s ; active draught and van horses, from £15 to £23 15s ; heavy draught, from £24 to £30.
