DUNEDIN PRODUCE REPORTS.

Wheat.— The market continues extremely quiet and business to only a very moderate extent is being done. The small demand experienced is chiefly confined to prime quality, aud, as the quantity of this class coming forward is vory much below the averge of former seasons, sailers are less anxious to quit at prices offered by purchasers ; business in consequ°nce is somewhat restricted. Fowls feed is in fair demand but the supply ia in excess of requirements and sales are difficult to effect at late quotations, and, as a large portion of tlie wheat coming to liand is fit only for this purpose, prices will likely remain low for a time. Quotations : For prime milling Tuscan and velvet, 2s 7d to 2s 8d ; extra choice velvet, slightly more ; medium to jjood 2s 5d to 2s Grl ; inferior to medium Is 9d to 2s 4d (ex store, sacks weighed ia, terms).
