DUNEDIN MARKETS. Messrs Donald Ecid and Coy., Ltd., report: We held our weekly auction sale of grain ami. produce at our stores today (Monday) when values ruled as under:— Oats.—The market is ipiiet, and no change in values can be reported. Prime heavy Cartons have most enquiry, and these meet with ready sale. Seed lines also have sonic attention, but other descriptions are not keenly sought after. Wo quote: Prime milling 2/0 to '2/1)1, good to best feed 2/8 to 2/0, inferior, to medium 2/(i to 2/7 per bushel, sacks extra. Wheal.-The market has a better tone, and all prime milling lincsare saleable at prices well up to late quotations. Prime Velvet is strongly enquired for, but of this there is little on offer, Other kinds in milling condition are more readily placed and fowl wheat has better demand. We quote: Prime milling Velvet 5/2 to 5/4, medium 4/10 to 5/1, Prime Tuscan, etc. 4/8 to 4/9, medium 4/4 to 4/7, best whole fowl wheat 4/- to 4/;:, medium ;i/S to ,'i/U, inferior 11/- to :!/b' per bushel, sacks extra. Potatoes—Prime freshly picked lots meet with improved demand. Most lines in local stores require repicking, and are not easily dealt with in their present condition, Medium and stale lines are not in favour and realise low values. We quote:' Best table potatoes £7 J5/- to £S, medium to good £7 to £7 HI/-, inferior £5 Id/- to £(> 10/-, per ton, sacks included. Chaff.—The market is heavily supplied. Supplies have come forward so freely that it has been impossible to clear consignments ex truck without a sacrifice in values, ami it has been necessary to discharge many lots into store. In these circumstances a fall in prices was inevitable and values have suffered to the extent of about 5/- per ton. We quote: Best oaten shaf ±'3 15/to £-1, medium" to good £1 7/6 to £312/6, light and discoloured £8 to £3 5/- per ton, bags extra,
