LATE COMMERCIAL

GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Messrs Dalgely mid Co., Ltd,, report as follows: — Oats.—Tho market remains firm, with little business passing. Farmers’ lines of grade oats appear to bo in very small compass, and as far as wo can see business for the year is finished. An odd sample of undergrades is arriving, but there is very little inquiry for these. Values are: A Gartons, 3s 4.d; B Gartons, 2s lOd, on trucks, country sidings, sacks extra. Wheat.—Millers are showing little enthusiasm for offerings, which arc, however, practically negligible from tho Otago district, but Canterbury wheat is still being offered freely. Local nulls arc all holding fair stocks and havo enough to see them well into the new year, and just now they arc not interested in anything but prime quality, which is realising 5s 9d on trucks, sacks extra. Fowl wheat is easier, as, since the market was bare a lortnigbt ago, consignments have been arriving more freely, and best quality is to-day worth Cs, ex store, sacks extra. Potatoes.—Owing to the lateness ot the now season’s crop, the good price for old tubers is still being maintained, with merchants buying only enough for their immediate requirements. Bound, freshly-picked lines are worth to £l2, ex truck, and inferior £5 to £G. Chaff.—Supplies, arc being obtained from Canterbury, as there is no ebaff arriving from the Otago district. The consumption is not heavy, and as it is now getting into tho wool season only small quantities are being worked off, as all tho available space will be required for wool purposes. We quote; Prime oaten sheaf, £5 15s to £6; good feed, £4 5s to £4 15.5; inferior, £3 10s per ton, sacks, extra. BRADFORD MARKET. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 12.
