More wheat is now offering than there has been for some time past, and several sales have been made at 5/- at country stations. In view of the fact, however, that the Commission on food prices is stated to be going to fix the price of wheat, buyers are not so keen to make purchases. Holders are still asking a high price for their wheat, and it is stated that 5'3 has been refused. Wheat still in the country or held in store on owner's account is, however, reported to be in few hands. Oats are unchanged, and there is only a limited enquiry. There is very little sale for 1 catsheaf chaff, though if the dry weather continues the demand may improve. Potatoes are still dull of sale at 30 - to •So,- at country stations, there being i but little enquiry.
