Business remains practically tho same as when we last wrote, values being unaltered, with the one exception of heavy machined ryegrass, which is saleable to-day in reason, ably large parcels at 4s 6d per bushel; market by no means over-stocked. Artificial manures coutinuo well to the front, stocks of both imported and local manufacturers rapidly running down. Fuon's No. 1 special turnip fertiliser £6 10*. Fison's special superphosphate £5 10s. Aberdeen turnip sorts 5.3. Other varieties from 54s to 565. Broad le-vcd Essex rape, ex Aotea 22s 6d ewt. 7555
