Cashel Street has slackened to negligible proportions. A few potatoes 1 went north by the Waimarlno yesterday. A few lots have been sold at prices below the figures quoted last week. There is a demand for milling wheat, but very little of it is offering. Fowl wheat remains at 5/2, f.0.b.5.i., but demand is slow. There has been some inquiry for white clover for local use.
