Wellington Produce Markets.

Wellington, Monday Morning. George Thomas ivports produce price-, as follows : — Large consignments of flour are now constantly arriviug, which has had the effect of slightly lowering quotations. For sack-!, £10 to £10 5s is now wanted, ex ship. Oats are easier, the Southern markets now operating largely has caused this effect. For good short I quote 23 6d to 2s 7d, and fair feed *o 2s 4d and 2s od per bushel. Good fowls, wheat very plentiful at 2s 9<l to 3s. Pollard and bran, m consequence of heavy demand, remain scarce at- £5 10s and £ t 10s per ton ; maize, slight, sale at 4s Gd to 4* 9d ; feed barley, 2s Oil ; peas, 3.s 6d ; bean*, 4s ; potatoes havo been m rather short supply, b\it the market, is now full, and prices reduced to last quotation?, 555, saoks extra ; onions selling slowly at £5 to £5 10a; oaten chaff £4; kidney seed potatoes £5 lO.s Cheese is briskly inquired for at 5d perlb. Frosh butter somewhat scarce, and lid quickly obtained; m keg lines of salt there is not the slightest inquiry, m consequence of unsatisfactory reports from Australia. Hams anJ bacon, prime new cure, 9d perlb. Fowls, 3.s Gd ; ducks, 4s ; tin keys, 8s Gd ; o-eese, G.s per pair. Good cooking apples are much wanted, and s itisf'aofactory price.* would be realised. Hasell and Co. report pi ices of produce vithont any alteration since last quotations. The market is well supplied, and flour is being forced at reduced rates. Maize is scarce Onions quite unsaleable. Fruit is m good supply, but prices seem unsatisfactory to shippers.
