COMMERCIAL.

MAUIiJiT KEPOKT. Harry l.'almcr, Pulinorston .North, reports a small entry of weaners, and a.s there whs a good demand .uglier prices were realised. There was a fair entry of porkers and stores and these all improved considerably in value. Every line sold at prices well over the reserves. We had an excellent entry of poultry of all classes, except turkeys; these birds have now become- as extinct as the 31 oa. Wi; had a very big line of I rim, some 330 cases. In many lines prices hardened, whilst the demand all through was good. Produce is now beginning to move more- freely and a firmer market will prevail. The inferior lines of potatoes have now been worked out, consequently prime- lines are hardening. We quote: "Weaners, 6s 6d, 9s, 10s;, stoics, 13s (id, los, 17s 6d, £1: porkers, £1, £1 2s, £1 2s 6d, £1 ss, £1 6s, £1 7s ; ducks. 4s, 4s 3d ; hen's, 2s 0d to 3s 6'd; pullets, 4s 6d to 7s 6d; cockerels (good). 4s to 6s 6~d ; chicks to half-grown, Is 3d to 3s 9d; goese, 2s 6d each; peaches, 3s 6d to ss; plums, 2s to 3s; tomatoes, Is to 3s; i apples, about Id per lh ; pears, 2s 9d to 4s 6d ; cucumbers. 2s Gd ; onions, Id lb; picklers, IJd ; cabbage. 2s sack: pi it potatoes. 2s (3d to'.'ls; prinio eating. 4s cwt ; inferior, 3s to 4s: wheat.
