LATE COMMERCIAL.

GORE COMMERCIAL REVIEW. • Ensign Oflice, Thursday, September 11. Oats.—As is usual at this period of the year, when farmers are busy with their spring work, very few oats ot any description are offering. Sales, however, have been effected of B. grade Sparrowbills and Gartons at Is o}d. net on truck sidings, and A. grade suitable for seed up to Is 7d. Sutherland:; are in very strong demand at Is ?id, sidings, and r>lack outs for seed purposes and Long Tartars at Is 7d. Wheat. —The market remains unchanged at late quotations. Fowl wheat is in fairly good request, at ".is 7d to mS Sd sidings. ClialV.—Chali is in good demand at JC2 128.tfd to £2 los on trucks sidings, but there is very little offering. Potatoes.—During the last tew days there has been a very good enquiry for potatoes up to £'J per ton on trucks, sidings, at which price several good purchases have been made, mostly for local requirements. The market, however, has receded somewhat during the last two days, and there is not the same inclination to purchase at late figures. Ryegrass.—This is still in very good demand, find oOlb machine-dressed seed is selling up to Is 9d per bushel.' PROPERTY SALE. Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., report having sold on account of Mr D. T. C. Mcllroy, of Otama, his wellknown farm of 193 acres to Mr J. A. Baldey, late of Branxholme, at a very satisfactory price to both parties. This farm is one of the best in the splendid Otama district. It is all clean, deep river-bed land and grows very heavy crops of both oats and wheat, in addition to which the ryegrass sold off it always realises top prices ; while the buildings (and the condition oi the farm generally) leave nothing to be desired. Mr Baldey is to be congratulated upon securing such a good property, which no doubt will prove a capital investment to him.
