WHEAT PRICES.

REPORTED AGREEMENT. It was reported amongst grain merchants yesterday, that an agreement had been come to by the Wheat Board and the representatives of the fiourmillers regarding the price of the new season's wheat. A conference was held between the parties during the week, but their deliberations at the meeting were understood to be incon- j elusive. ; However, it was reported yesterday | that a price has been agreed upon, one penny a bushel in advance of .last year. On last season's basis this would make the new season's price as follows: Sale free on board at the closest port. In January, February. March; April, and May: Tuscan, 5s 2d per bushel; Hunters, 5s -Id per bushel; Pearl 5s Gd per bushel. An increment of hi per bushel per month to these prices for each subsequent month up to and including October. To make the arrangement effective last season the Minister of Agriculture had to approve of the price and also place an embargo on the importation of wheat, flour, and offals. The same procedure will doubtless be necessary this year, but in view of the certainty of wheat having to be imported to meet requirements, the position is much more complicated. In addition to the above price, millers last year paid to the Wheat Board 2d per bushel. After the expenses of the Wheat Board were paid the balance was distributed amongst the growers as a bonus. The price of flour was fixed last year at £ls 10s per ton; bran, £5 per ton; and pollard, £7 per ton. IMPORTS. FIGURES FOR TEN MONTHS. The current issue of the "New Zealand Trade lleview" gives the following comparison of the aggregates of the different divisions of imports into Now Zealand for the past ten months: —

Imports for the month of October reached the high total of £4,601,565, or about a million more than the average for the ten months. The total of merchandise for- the ten months is £7,686,537, or 27 per cent, more than the corresponding period of last year. ■ Soft goods account for about a third of the total increase, and all the items except hosiery share in this increase. The heaviest growth is in 'apparel, boots, carpets, cottons, and woollens. Other items of interest in this section, with last year's figures.in parentheses, are: Furs and fur trimming £74,35'J (£54.738), haberdashery £115,515 (£115,118), laco £68,055 (£68,469), ribbons and crepe £139,988 (£136.150), sewing silk and cotton -£1200,396 (£200,794). Hardware goods show a fair growth of £550,000, in spite of a decrease of £714,000 in railway and tramway plant. M early all the other items show fairly good increase. (Some other items are: Jtolts .and nuts £81,519 (£41,848), cutlery £27,239 (£22,550), fencing staples £24.311 ('£8463), iron, angle, tee, channels and girders £76,783 (£20,618), black hoop iron £25,9J6 (£28,106), black plate iron £73,000 (£61,701), plated ware £102,026 (£79,866), wire netting £105,318 (£31.663). Foodstuffs show a mo<i3\ v ate growth of £206,000,- but the total is still well below that of 1920 and 1921, when sugar and grain figures were high. Half this year's increase is in confectionery. Other items are: Sausage skins £42,237 (£87,106) rennet £20,570 (£27,967), cocoa butter £70,711 (£59,023), preserved fruits £78:228 (£47,636), cornflour £41,749 (£33,723), edible nuts £64,454; (£66,017), sago and tapioca £32,706 (£20,928), cream of tartar £27,853 (£81,791). Beverages show a fair increase of £481,640.* Over half of this is in tea and nearly half in whisky. The in» crease in tea in the two years is very heavy. Tho separate' figures for cocoa are 479,9641b £40,495. Cocoa beans amount to £45.284 Other spirits include brandy £32,090, Geneva and gin £47,275. and rum £11,912. Miscellaneous goods show a total fairly close to those" of 1920 and 3921, but are ahead of 1922 by some £2,722,000. Half of this increase islin motor vehicles, and several other items show heavy growth. The main decreases are in coal chinaware, and candles. -. "Other goods" comprise everything not included, in the foregoing table. Several of these items are mentioned above and gome others aie: Kapoo £62,861 (£47,477), paraffin wax £41,870 (£52,104), tiles £44,055 (£31,070), fancy goods £271,120 (£192,263), jewellery £93,153' (£121,154), timepieces £74,494 (£49,844), tobacco, pipes, etc. £89,119 (£43.566), cinematographs and films £109.083 (£103,899), photographic goods £87,906 (£76 ; 872), dyes £51,020 .(£65,107), disintecta.nts £93,916 (£106,285), medicines £288,685 (£254,730), perfumery £109,907 (£96,035), arms, ammunition, and explosives £192,441 (£273,806), brushware £117,245 (£73,653), soaps £74,432 (£64,923), find there are some £2,234,643 of items that are not enumerated at all. THE\ FRUIT MARKET. DUNEDIN. (BPSCIAI. TO "THB PMS«.") DUNEDIN, December 7. Business continues brisk in the fruit marts. Some nice samples of strawberries have arrived from Waimate and the Taieri. Choice dessert apples are scarce. Supplies of tomatoes have increased and prices have receded in consequence. Bananas are scarce and lemons are in short supply. Latest wholesale prices are — Apples Stunners extra choice 10s to 12s per case, small 3© Gd to Ss, third grade (difficult to sell) 2s to '3s 6d per case, oranges Adelaide 25a, lemons Californian 50s per case, bananas ripe 35s per case, tomatoes Christchurch hothouse to 2s 6d per lb,. cherries 8d to Cd per lb for prime, extra choice Is to Is 3d per lb, small 3d to 4d per lb, strawberries extra choice to le Bd, choice to Is 4d, medium to lOd per pottle, grapes 88s to 40s per barrel, passions 21s to 255, Fiji pines 143 to IGa per case.

The Waihi Company, for tho period ended November 24th, crushed 16,338 tons of ore far 6402 fine ounces of gold and 43,930 fin?, ounces of silver.

I TRADE AT HOME. I ! CONDITIONS NOT BRIGHT. (6PECIAL TO "THE PBBSS.") DUXEDIN, December 7. Not a very bright picture of the conditions of trade at Home was given to a reporter by Mr J. A. Roberts, of the him o: Mcssivs Murray. Roberts and Co.. who left Dainedin in March for the Old Country and America, and returned last night. Mr Roberts stated that in manufaci turing the position was exceedingly bad ! in England. On the other hand, ceri tain special lines of business were busy. Trade was bad with the Scottish nulls, the- majority of these -working only about three days a week, while some were closed down for lack of work. On the 'orders unemployment was very serious, and had resulted in the migrate of large numl>ers of workers to other parts'i.f England, to Canada, and I to the United States. The state of | affairs was due to the economic condi- | tions and the result of the heavy war I losses incurred through trade with Uermany. Owing to the depreciated currency, Continental manufacturers could produce very much cheaper than tho.se in England. Franco was able to undersell British manufacturers in the British market for all classes of ladies' dress materials and such things as woollen dresses. Unemployment in the Midlands in the iion industry was also extremely bad. "I would say that if Mr Baldwin is returned to power,"; said Mr Roberts, "and is able to put a protective tariff through the House, the general impression is that it will Ije limited to manufactured goods which are at present competing against British manufactures. Feeling at Home is pretty high, and no Government can exist for a Single day if it attempted to put a. tariff on foodstuffs. Tho only remedy is tho vicious way of subsidising freights, which means a further bur~-dc-n on the taxpayer in .England, who already has to pay very high taxes." New Zealand dairy produce, said Mr was very keenly sought after at Home, owing to the fact that merchants can absolutely depend upon tho grading cither of butter or of cheese. They knew that what they bought would be fully up to the grading standard. In the case of other countries, with the probable exclusion of Benmark, merchants would not agree to buy produce unless they -were in the position of being able to pass the goods, before taking them. The prestige and position of New. Zealand in London was greatly improved by the behaviour of her soldiers when abroad.

ZINC CONSOLIDATION. (BT CASLB-rPMSS ASSOCIATIOK COPTJUGKT.) (AUSTBAIJAN AND N.2. CABI.IS AS3OCIATIOM.J LONDON, December 6. The acquiring by the National Smelting Company of Great Britain of the Swansea and Avonmouth zinc-produc-ing plant, also large interests in the Burma Corporation, has brought about a huge British zinc consolidation under the a?gis of the directors of Baldwins, Ltd., the British Metal Corporation, and .prominent Australian', mining metallurgical interests. The amalgamation is the last step in the policy initiated by the British and Australian Governments to make the Empire self-supported as far as zinc concentrates are concerned. The purchase price for the interests acquired is £2,300,000. ' x The directors of the National Smelting Company will include representatives of Baldwins, the metal corporation, and the Australian interests, making an exceptionally , powerful board, both in personnel and finance. The company proposes shortly .to issue £1,500,000 7 per cent, debentures at £U9. THE RINDERPEST MENACE. SYDNEY, December 7. A conference between the various State authorities has been fixed in Sydney for nexV Thursday to decide on joint action to prevent the spread of rinderpest. NELSON PINE FOREST. When visiting Tasmania recently, Mr R. G. superintendent of the Selwyn Plantations Board, Canterbury, was interviewed about forestry matters, and he stated that Pinus Inßignis trees are now very largely milled in New Zealand. ' "Not only the Selwyn Board, but the Government, as well as ' private companies, are planting the trees in _big numbers, as it is realised that most valuable timber is thereby produced. The board receives a royalty of 5s per 100 super feet for the standing timber, and a Pinus Insignis 35 years of age usually produces within the region of 750 super feet. The tree is everywhere being grown in greater numbers, and its value is becoming more generally recognised throughout New Zealand, as the timber can be used for building construction—for interior work more particularly—furniture making, fruit and butter boxes, and general purposes. Pinus Insignis is remarkably free from disease. It is also exceedingly hardy, and will grow in almost any situation. It grows much faster in New Zealand than in California, its native habitat." The latest Pine-growing Company is Nelson Pine Forest, Ltd., which is being formed to plant an area of 3400 acres at Belgrove, on the Nelson railway line. . The . forest-to-be is surrounded by good roads. There are only 3000 shares, at £25 each. THE "SUPURB" CARBURETTOR. Mr G. If. Donaldson, searetary of the "Supurb" Economiser Carburettor Co., Ltd., has received official cable advice from London as follows: —"Commercial show results highly satisfactory. Over twenty makers and large commercial users' reqnire trials at earliest moment, including General Omnibus Company. Government instructed Whiteman attend Aircraft Department with view trials and adoption Supurb. Very large business in prospect subject to trials. Pushing other matters forward every possible speed."

CANTERBURY MARKETS. IB? OUF. COMStSBCIAi, 8D1T03.; I Friday Evening. Tho scorching winds continue with little interruption. It is impossible to generalise over the whole province within the confines of a paragraph, but there is little doubt that crops over a wide area of lighter land have been seriously affected. There are unusual causes this year. Generally the bulk of the wheat areas are sown in the autumn and early winter and get such a good "send off'' that they are dufficieutiy advanced to withstand the effects of a dry summer. Ibis season, owing to the broken autumn. very httie crop was got in, and the bulk of the sowing was done in September and as late as October. The later sowings are hanging fire under the conditions prevailing and at present indications arc that yields from spring sown areas will be very heavily redticed. It is interesting to recall that the late Clement Wragge several years ago forecasted a 'drought" in 11)23. He had an uncanny habit of not being far wrong in his forecasts, but when the May floods came it looked as if on this occasion his posthumous warning was well astray. However, time has proved otherwise. Stock are being turned on to some wheat fields in North Canterbury and on oats on lighter land in Mid and South Canterbury. A good drenching rain would ensure normal yields from autumn sown wheat, but spring sown is generally so backward that made-to-order weather would be required to secure this effect. On present appearances the estimate that cur wheat importation needs will run into two million bushels will not be far over the mark. I A soaking rain within a few days would perhaps bring it down to near a million. The market response to the conditions prevailing has been confined, so far, to oats. They have jumped up quite excitingly. The movement actually only started at the beginning of the week, rather remarkable in view of the fact that reports of premature "shooting" had been coming to hand the previous week. However, once the trade woke up it quickly recovered leeway, and from 3s 3d to 3s Cd f.o.b. s.i., represented the Tuesday-Friday advance. Practically no oats from last season are held in store, and this stimulated tho keenness of operators, amongst whom there were Auckland speculators. There is no doubt that considerable areas of oats are so light that at their advanced stage they are irrecoverable, no matter how favourable the immediate weather may be. i>ut it should not be forgotten that oats do . not present the field for speculation that they did a few years ago. The North Island continues to produce a few and are using less, and in this Island the decreasing areas in crop mean less hard feed used on the farm. The conditions point to a firm market and substantially better prices than last season, particularly as the Australian crop is not very successful, enquiries having recently been made from merchants there, but anticipations should be tinged with caution, as oats are not now so indispensable as a fewyears ago. Quotations to farmers are about 2s lid a bushel, country stations. Chaff has naturally firmed in sympathy with oats and is quoted at £4 los a ton, countrf stations. Sales have been made at up to £7 a ton, f.0.b., s.i., delivery next March. Fowl wheat is quoted at 5s 5d to 5s 6d f.o.b. . It has transpired that a few growers and speculators were "caiight" with potatoes on their hands. They have not far to look for some one to blame. All the sound advice available was to the effect that potatoes after the May floods were good property, but when they reached £8 to £9 per ton a"gdod time to sell had arrived. A few fatuously refused £lO a ton. Since they have accepted £5 for a few that could be picked out. Sowing of potatoes has been carried on tintil the end of November, a stimulus being given by the early November statistical report of a shortage in the estimated area of 4000 acres.' It is undoubted that much of this shortage has been made up, as seed was cheap and plentiful. The yields from such areas are problematical, but the earlier sown crops so far are looking well —they are mostly on land that had a good reserve of moisture. Sales for new season's ordinary delivery have been made at £5 a ton. Machine dressed cocksfoot is quoled. at 9sd per lb, equal to od to 6d to farmers. Quotations for next season's ryegrass are being made on a basis of 4s to '4s 3d for Italian and 4s to 4s 6d for perennial, country stations. White clover and cowgrass are very dull, particularly the Litter, which is quoted at about 8d per lb to farmers. Buyers are offering 6s 9d for next season's peas, but there are few sellers. Chewing's fescue and dogstail are both dull and have Been bought at 8d per lb., machine dressed f.o.b. Dunedin and Bluff. ,The following are the quotations to be paid to farmers at country stations, free of commission, sacks extra, except •where otherwise stated : Wheat —Tuscan 5s 3Jd, Hunters 5a s*d, Pearl 5s 7id. Fowl wheat—ss 5d to 5s 6d f.o.b. Chaff—Bright oatsheaf, £4 15s. Oats —Gartons —2s lOd to 2s lid. White Clover—ls to Is 2d. Italian _ ryegrass—4s to 4s 3d. Perennial ryegrass—4s to 4s 6d.

Bran —£5 per ton, f.o.b. main ports, 10s extra for smaller packing. TMARU MARKETS. The hot weather has had a depressing effect on business in general lately. Nothing definite has been announced in. wheat prices so far, and farmers seem inclined to favour a free market. Stocks of o!d wheat are cleared up and fowl wheat is in g-<d enquiry at 5a 4d to.'b., equal to 5a Id to 5s 2d on trucks to fairmers. There is little left in farmers' hands, and merchants ars holding practically all stocks now. Seconds and undergrade are quoted at 4s on trucks. Theie is an enquiry for oats, principally on account of the hot weather. Little is offering and quotations are 3s for A grade Gartons on trucks, and B grade 2s ?od. Good bright chaff is quoted at £i 103 <n trucks, inferior and undergrade £3 15s. Practically all the linseed has been clsar. Ed up, but there is enquiry from Australia for f.a.q. samples. However, there 's littLv to* offer from this port. ■ The price to farmers is £l6 15s on trucks, and down to .£l2 for undergrade samples, according to quality. Clovers are a little firmar on account of the uoor prospects for the new seasr.n'-> crops* although values are nominally unchanged. There is some talk of speculation in new season's -potatoes. The erot>3 look wo'l in spite of the dry Bpell, but rain would do an immense amount of good to this line. DUNEDIN. (SFBCIAL TO "THB PEBSS.") DUNEDIN, December 7. The demand for oats is greater than the supply. Values are on a par with last week a —1 Gartons 2s lOd, B's 2s Bd, undergrade from 2s, sacks extra. Millers are. still accepting <my wheat it for milling. There is a strong enquiry for fowl wheat. Good whole is worth 6o per bushel ex store, sacks extra. _ New potatoes are now coming in freely, so old ones are rarely enquired for. Freshly picked whites are worth £6. Reds are unsaleable. Prime oaten eheaf is in gcod demand, and all offerings are quickly disposed of—Prime oaten sheaf at £5 7s 6d. medium to good at £4 to £i 15s, and light and inferior at £2 10s to £3 10s, sacks extra. ,
