MARKET PRICES CURRENT.
We give below a list of the current market prices here of articles in which the Natives are accustomed to trade. We have quoted potatoes at 51. per ton, but the market is just now glutted, and it is difficult to find sale for them at almost any price. There is a large and increasing demand for maize. We have quoted it at from 6s. to 7s. but larger prices may be realized. The prices of kauri gum and flax will be influenced very much by the quality of the article offered:— Pork (live weight). —3d. per lb. Wheat.— Bs. to Bs. 6d. per bushel. . Maize.— 6s. to 7s. "
Oats.— 6s. to 6s. 6d. per bushel. Potatoes.— f 5 per ton. Onions. —2d. per lb. Foiols. —4s. per couple. Turkeys. —los. " Geese. —los. ,e Ducks— 6s. «* Kauri Gum. —£B to £9 per ton. Flax.— £ls " Firewood.—9s. per ton. Straw.— ls. per bundle.
