This intimation will have , the effect of diverting buyers' attention \to the. Australian article, the quality of which ."•' Hi all that can •be desired. •.■ . ■ • .Cream of Tartar: Price has again receded and we are of opinion that bottom, ' will be touched during the next week or Haricot Beans: Prices are a- little easier '' Tawket when the best demand is over it .

The demand for this line -in America:-;fs a constantly growing one, whilst, as. is well known, the cultivas tion 'in large quantities is an occupation ; attendant with considerable- risks. Sweet Sicily Almonds: Advices before us at time of writing seem to point to the fact that the new crop will be quoted somewhere ~ ' on "a parity with prices ruling \ two .years ago'; it is, of course, early yet to accurately ."gauge dimensions of the crop. - ■ -;-.- ;' : Ceylon Tea: ißeports from the gardens : ; : ; show that rain is in all districts, and that ■ -a good deal of tea is being manufactured ' : and will be down for sale in the near future. The advanced musters from the estates are inferior and show a great falling off in quality. Tho shipments for March to the • ■ United Kingdom were 8J millions, but the estimate for April is 10i to lOf millions. ■We should not be surprised if this is ex-,:-,'.ceeded.■''■'.'.'• -■■■■■■ Castor Oil: Lower quotations have como ■ through,' but vendors do not- hazard . an , opinion as to the future of the market. • Linseed Oil: The local market is quite ,'?firm, and appears to have responded to the ■ ! increased- Home values. - '-■.''• . \ Pig Iron: The market has taken a sud- • - den move up, and operators will wait for lower.figures to come through. •. ; Metals: Cablegrams indicate 1 a still further advance in all lines, and there seems to be no prospect of lower rates.

Fencing wire in several gauges is in short supply, and early arrivals are small and are mostly already taken up. The higher costs are now being felt. . . .. >~...., .» /■-","■. Cement: Stocks are very low and prices -firm. • - Potatoes: The Wanaka brought only a few sacks from the South. The stocks ■■ in the looal market are working off, as an unexpected demand 'sot in for the requirements of the large native meeting held at the Waikate. This has tended to keep prices _ fairlv firm. Onions: The quantity coining ' forward and being offered is quite sufficient bo cope with the demand; prices remain much about the same. ■ ■" • • Peas: There is a good demand, and the market is advancing both for Prussian Blue , • and Partridge. Beef: A fairly good yard of prime was , on offer at the sales this vfcek, and last prices were well maintained. " • Sheep realised about the same price, the _ yarding being about the usual. Oats The Wanaka has arrived from ■ the.South and brought 4937 sacks, which is not up to tho average shipment. Although . the market is fairly, well stocked at prownt, it is likely that stocks will. be very »ght before the next shipment comes to , hand. Advices from the Southern market show that a very firm- feeling exists there, - and prices are expected to harden. Fowl Wheat: Stocks arc light, and it is £*fy difficult to replenish them. Tho price has advanced a penny, per bushel in the South. ; - Milling Wheat: There is no great quan"ty being offered; an advance on last week's rates has taken place. The-Wanaka brought 3326 sacks from the South. Chaff is not coming forward very freely. >'• "rime lots move off on arrival without any alteration in price. The quotations for Australian fodder are about 10s per ton higher in Melbourne, and about- '15s' per *>" higher in Sydney. The demand for . this continues, but the higher cost may Militate against business in the future , Pollard; There is rather more business "fig, and an advance of 5s has taken Place.

different quality, -a large quantity only passing through as common. Latest London cables notify that the market there ha3.not retained the slight' advance that took place at; the beginning ofi the "week. Tow is being sold as it comes to hand. - , . Kauri ,Gum:, For, the nine days of May 173 tons have, come to hand. The market generally remains much about ,the same, and stocks held by the brokers are rather on the light side. : Pale select and rescraped ordinary continue to move off without any alteration in price, the offerings being very small indeed. Superior three-quarter scraped ordinary is also in light supply, and being in good request there is no difficulty in making sales. Medium ordinary is also wanted, but prices are stationary. Good .washed nuts .well sieved are in demand. Chalky and swampy sorts continue to move off as they reach here. There is no alteration in East Coast; the principal shippers are still holding off unless they can purchase at a slight reduction. Black: Rescraped and. hard bold lumps are saleable. There has been more disposition to buy hard steel, but prices have a weakening tendency. Medium is in fair request. Sugar and hard nuts free from dust are wanted. There is very little alteration in the position as far as bush is concerned. Rescraped moves off on arrival, but the other grades are being neglected. Chips and dust remain much about tho samo as they were last week, both ordinary and black. AUCKLAND STOCK EXCHANGE.
