GRAIN AND PRODUCE REPORTS.

Donald Reid and Co. report:—We held our weekly auction sale of grain and produce at our stores to-day, when we submitted a small catalogue which met with good competition, and was readily cleared at satisfactory prices. Values "ruled a* under:—

Oats.—There is good export demand, both for "A" aud "B" grides. Of the former there are very few offering, and of the latter barely enough on the spot to supply buyers' immediate requirements. £tocks of lower crades are almost exhausted, and values for all sorts are a shade x rn V ?n n J We <luoie : I>lime milling, Is 7M to Is 9d; good to best feed, Is 6d to Is 7d; medium, In 5d to Is 6d per- bushel (sacks extra). Wheat.—A better tone pervades the market.'and in good to prime milling quality nailers are more disposed to operate. Medium qualities are still without much attention, but fowl wheat is scarce, and has ready sale on arrival. We quote :' Prime milling, 3s 6d to 3s 9d; medium, 3s 3d to 3s sd; whole fowl wheat, 3s Id to 3s 2d; broken and damaged, 2s 6d to 3s per bushel (sacks extra). , v Potatoes.—We offered a few lots of medium quality kidneys, which realised 6s to 9s per cwt, and somo of last season's up-to-dates, which sold at £3 10s per ton (sacks in). Chaff.—The market is bare, nnd there is strong inquiry for prime oaten sheaf. We can confidently recommend clients who are in a position to send any forward to do so without delay. We quote: Prime oaten sheaf, £4 10s to £4 15s; medium to good, £3lss to £4 5s per ton (bags extra). Straw.—We qnotp : Best oaten and wheat, 32s 6d to 35s per ton (pressed).
