The wethers and ewes market is quiet _ but steady. There is a good demand for lightweight wethers. There is practically no demand for frozen beef. The New Zealand porker pigs market is dull, with little demand, and New Zealand baconer pigs are quoted at nominal prices. Messrs.

Others are unchanged. The market is firm but quiet. The Bank of New Zealand produce department has received the following advice from its London office as at close of business last week:—"Frozen meat: There is a good demand for lightweight wethers. The market is short of ewe mutton until the next, arrivals. The market is firmer for second quality lambs; first grades remain steady. There is no demand for beef."
