• (BMCIAL TO ■ "TOT. PEISS.") . TiMAKtJ, February 13.' -. . Broken \ weather has been experienced jn the _district during the '.past week, and'harvesting has been carried on only, in patches. The market in other -.directions has not shown, much change. Wheat has been threshed generally throughout the district, but .its condition might have been, better. The bulk of the offering has been taken up by millers. Prices remain at 7s 3d, 7s sd, < and 7s 7d, f.b.b., for Tuscan, Hunters, and • Velvet respectively. :'Powl" wheat is offering at; the siune price as Tuscan, namely, 7s 3d f.o.b. The yields-have been better than expected, the general average being 35 bushels'to the acre.

Sales. are, slow. Fowl wheat? held in' store from last: season's crop- is .quoted* a-t up to Ss' 6ci,' sack's extra. '.,- .-,.-. ~.,." The oats market is still in a verv : uncertain state. Very few samples-are yet to hand, and values.obtained tare-' varying eo much that it .is.'difficult ''■ to..quote a,; standard price.' Consignments • of 'potatoes' have '. elacken'ed very considerably, and values 'have improved in sympathy. The; quotation is 10s. per ton, eacks' in, ex store. ' '• ' \ The chaff m«rket~ie; very dead, and sales are of limited quantities only. New chaff can be expected any time now,i and until this arrives, prices; will .no, doubt remain in the vicinity • of £6 10s ' per ton,' ox store sacks, extra.'.,: '

Oats, have been rather disappointing,- only a few good samples having been-.seen. Algerians , from the, Ashburton district have been- bought at from 2s Bd, to 2s 9d on trucks, and Gartons at from 3s Id to 3s 3d. Good clean local Gartons are worth 3s 5d to 3s 6d..

LEESTON STOCK SALE. Farmers in .the district have been making-the-most of 'theVfino weather this week, and- in' consequence; there was a smaller attendance : th^n ; usual at the fortnightly stock sale at LeostOn yesterday, «ad also smaller entries of stock, .with'the exception of- sheep. v.-.Tfao stock yarded' comP™ , e^ 2ls, >, -sheep: (1800. lambs. *SO ewes and 400 we hers), 25 fat pigs, 121 store JS' and 36 head of cattle.;. Priced fcx fat laSS' fat sheep, and .store sheep were verTfW with, a kcen.enqimy..for good alorea. Fat pigs met with keener competition and prices' were considerably better than, at the sale a fortnight ago, whi'e store -piiwi wero also "? keen demand, and brought higher prices'. •\ ery -little change took place in catUe values.

There has been a steady .local,demand for chaff; and ■ a few trucks of new season's have come in. Prices to growers are £4 5s t0.£4.105, sacks found by buyers. The export value is about £6 f.0.b., s.i. for.delivery during April, May, and June. - The persistent rumour of Might, id the potato crops has led to a slight firming in the market. To-day, values to growers for main crop diggings are £i 10s on trucks,Supplies for prompt delivery are valued at about £6.

Grass seed is still offering- in Urge quan.tities from growers. : • Good samples have been taken up, perennials, according to weight, at 3s to 3s sd, Western "Wolths and Italian at 2s 9d to 3s. Light-weight samples of perennials and also of Italian are hard to sell,' and are neglected.

Small quantities of peas haTe been threshed, chiefly in the Temnka district, No. I'f being quoted at 6s to 6s 3d on tracts The linseed crops promise well tut none has so far been cut.in this district.
