There is 110 change to report in the local grain market since the beginning of the week. No wheat is coming forward, ana the prices at which oats can be purchased do not admit of further shipments being made to London, therefore the only business in oats is for a very limited local trade. Potatoes are rather firmer, though there is not much response from the North to offers of supplies. The principal inquiry is for Derwenfs, whose keeping qualities for the end of the season, are better than those of Up-to-Dates. WELLINGTON STOCK EXCHANGE.
