In she present etaie it is difficult to quote market ratfts. No .sales have been reported during the pasi wook, and so far the lowest recorded price is 4s on trucks, but at this prioe lines have been refused uy millers during tiiie past few days. Nominal quotations, therefore, are :—Tuscan and Pearl *fe lid to 4s, Hunters 3s lCd to 3s lid. Oats: Very few sales have boon effected in oats, but the quautity available is being rapidly reduced in tho shape of oaisiio.if caaff, and the ssuK'ks are therefore, being depleted. Holders' id;.'as of values are at lease Id or 2d above buyers', whoso best oilers are:—Milling 2a 4,1, <;«<! short food and Duns 2s 3d, lighter quality 2s 2d.
