Wellington Markets.

MESSRS LAERY AND CAMPBELL'S REPORT.

Wellington, "Wednesday Evening. There are no alterations whaterir from last week's prices. It is still hard to get millers' values for the best brands of flour, while there are inferior sorts offering bo cheaply. Bran and pollard is hard to procure. For oatmeal there, is not much inquiry. Oats have been offering' pretty freely during the week, but without very material alteration m price. Maize has been offering, but at - prices that will not leave a margin to sell again m this market. There are bat few samples of chickwheat being offered. Parcels of whole wheat are almost ucat. . tamable; for such as there is considerably advanced prizes are asked. Potatoes are m a most unsatisfactory condition, ' there being lare quantities of very inferior sorts, which are hard to quit, and. for which holders would take almost uuy price that was offered, while really good potatoes are scarce. Salt butter is in- . active, and the same may be said of ; hams, bacon and cheese, m all of which " lines there is but comparatively little businc.B3 doing. The entries at the horM sale on Saturday were not v«rj numerous, but the attendance of buyers was good, and several horses passed at very fairprices.
