CHIUSTCIIUKCfI. December 4.—The past week has not been characterised by much activity, and transactions have been on as meagre a scale as marked the previous week. In wheat, little business has been done, and prices continued on the same basis, viz., 4a 9d to Cm. Fowl's feed has been sold in small lots, at 3s Gd to 4s. according to condition. Oats remain about at last week's value, Is 30.1 to 2s lOd for feed ; milling, 2a to 2s 2d. Melbourne advices report a weak marke; - , and the presence of considerable shipments. Flour : A fair business in this has been done .it £12 10s to £'13. Grass-seed cutting has commenced; the yield will be heavy. Opening rates have not yefc come under much notice, but it is pretty generally expected that the price will be a long way under that of Inst year. Dairy produce : — liuttor : For good samples 7d to 7id is the price asked. Cheese is also opening freely at 5d to Gd. Hams and bacon remain about the same. Owing to fine weather having set in the majority of the country people arc busily engaged in haymaking and shearing, and, as far a* we are able to judge, the different crops throughout the province are looking better than they have done in any former year. Stock is coming forward in first-class condition in consequence of the abuudant supply of grass. Mutton commands l.fd per lb. for fat sheep ; fat lambs, Gs Gd to 7s each. Stores are in active demand. Beef, 24s per lOOlbs. THE AUCKLAND MARKETS. Farm asd Dairy Prodi ck. Wholesale. II tail. s. d. 8. d. s. d. s <1.
