DUNEDIN PRODUCE REPORTS.
Wheat.— Values much the same as last week. Millers are open to buy choice velvet — indeed any sort— if well srown and in prime milling condition ; velvet, however, has the most inquiry. Medium milling is more difficult to place, and commands only a trifle more than fowls' feed prices. At the present moment the quantity of wheat held in store for disposal, compared with previous seasons is exceptionally light. Quotations : For prime, milling velvet 2s lOd to 2s lid ; medium to good ditto and best Tuscan 2s Brt to 2s 9d ; medium to good red wheat 2s 5d to tis &1 ; iuferior to good whole fowls' v/heat 2s to 2s 4d (ex store, sacks weighed in, terms). Oats. — Only a very moderate demand exists for the bulk of the oats offering. Buyers do not feel disposed to give the prices lately quoted, | except on rare occasions and for particular purposes. The most of the sales now effected, especially medium quality, are at slightly lower price. 0 . At the same time, holders of really' good lines likely to keep good are not disposed to quit just yet, even at a substantial advance. Quotations : Tor prime milling, bright and stout Is 6d to Is 6M— choice a shade more ; best short feed, bright and full Is 5Ad to Is 6d ; medium to good Is 5d to Is s^d ; inferior to medium Is 4rl to Is 4£d ; extra well grown and clean, both shoit and long, fit for seed, are ■worth ]sG4d to Is 9d (ex store, sacks extra, net). Potatoes.— The market for these is extremely flat, and in the absence of a demand for shipment the prospect for the future of the market is not very encouraging. Quotations for best derwents L2 to L 2 sa; medium LI 101 to L2; choice kidneys for seed L 2 10s to L 3 10a per ton (ex store, sscks weighed in, net. ) Dairy Produce.— The supply of prime dairy made salt butter being now less bulky prices are firmer— say, for best, 6M to 7|d ; medium 4d to ■ 5d ; factory made 9cl to lOd per lb.
