Business continues quiet. ;'lhe report of blight among the crops at Pukekohe was expected to be followed by an increased number of orders for southern potatoes, hat so far no. such movement has taken place. The !Karori, which sailed yesterday for Auckland, tcok a small lot, sold on board on the basis of £6 10s. Chaff continues firm at late rates, equal to £7 ios on trucks to farmers. Some holders, however, are hanging back at this figure, as they want as much as £8 libs, a price which merchants are not inclined to pay. The general opinion is that there is a shortage in the country, and that what is on hand now will be used up before the new season’s stuff comes forward. For cocksfoot there is some inquiry, and sales have been made at Is Id f.o.b. for best machine-dressed. There has been a drop in Italian ryegrass to 7s. This is due to the desire of merchants to realise on anything they are holding before the new season’s crop comers to hand. Cowgrass is unchanged White clover is firm, and is practically in the same position as cowgrass. There '■ie buyers in England at a price. / LONDON TALLOW MARKET.
