DUNEDIN PRODUCE REPORTS.

Wheat. — A. moderately fair demand is experienced, more especially for prime milling velvet. Millers are operating quietly, and, although their purchases are not very extensive, all ffoer- I ing in good condition is taken up at late current I rates. Advices from Home continue discouraging and there is bnt little hope for much improvement within mensureable distance in the j)ositiou of the local market. Quotations : For prime milling 1 velvet 2s lOd to 2s lid— extra, choice 3s ; medium to good do and Tuscan ?s 8d to 2s 9d ; medium to good red wheat 2s 5d to 2a 7d ; medium to good whole fowls' wheat 2s 2d to 2s 5d ; inferior and broken Is 9d to 2s (ex store, sucks weighed in, terms). Oats. — The demand is not by any means brisk hut daily a few sales are being effected, chiefly of short stout, bright-coloured descriptions, but at pricea showing a slight drop compared with late quotations. The bulk of the oats now in store are only of very medium quality, and to effect sales of these, unles? the unexpected were to happen, lower prices will doubtless have to be accepted.
