Late Commercial.

m Donald KcWi and Co. repor; : — Oats. — There has been steady demand for all good sound lines of Gartons coming forward. "A" and. "B" grade sparrowbills also have more attention, and although sales of these are not so readily effected as in the case of Gartons, there is little difficulty in dealing with any lots offered at quotations. Lower grades, which have been neglected of late, are also in better demand. We quote : Prime milling is 7d to is Sd, good to best feed is s><d to is 6}4d, medium is 3d to is 4^d per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat.— Only the best lines of nulling quality find any favor with millers at present, medium grades having been left severely alone for some time. Fowl wheat, has good demand, both locally and for export. Stocks of this are now in s 1 aller compass, and any good lines are readily quitted on arrival. We quote : Prime milling 3s 6d to 3s Bd, medium to good 3s 2d to 3s sd, best whole fowl wheat 3s to 3s id, broken and damaged 2s 7d to 2s 1 id per bushel (sacks extra). Potatoes. — With short supplies and a good demand prices have again advanced, and best Derwents sold at £4 ios to £\ 15s, medium £4, 10 £if 7s 6d, others ios to £\ per ton (bags in). Chaff. — Prime oaten sheaf continues to arrive sparingly, and for all "bright, heavy lines there is ready sale. Medium quality, although not so strongly in favor, is also quitted without difficulty. We quote : Choice, bright oaten sheaf £4 to £4 ss, medium to good £3 ios to £4 per ton (bags extra.) Straw. — We quote : Wheaten and oaten 30s I t°3s s P er t° n (pressed).
