Business in the milling wheat market continues to be quiet so far as the local demand ■is concerned. Prices remain unchanged at ,5s 9d per bushel, sacks extra, country sidings, for Tuscan; 6s for Hunters; and 6s 6d for Velvet. There does not now appear much prospect of any change 'in the market until the new season's crop comes in. Good fowl wheat is selling slowly and the market appears to be slightly firmer. The general quotation is 5s f.o.b., sacks extra, Lyttelton, for prompt shipment, and 5s lid for Timaru. The local quotation is 6s a bushel, ex rail. Business in oats continues quiet, with the local demand confined principally to lines for feed. There is no change in values, A grade being worth 3s 8d f.0.b., s.i., and B's 3s 7d. Oats are still on offer for April-September delivery at 3s 7jd f.0.b., s.i., for A's, and 3s 4d for B's. Supplies of .Duns are also on the short side. The local chaff market continues firm. Holders of good Quality are asking £6 10s a ton, ex store, sacks extra, and £6 ss, ex truck. A fair quantity of old potatoes is still held by merchants, and some growers also have small lots. New potatoes have beon arriving by every boat from Auckland, and as a consequence old ones have become a drug on the market. There is a wide range of price for old potatoes, from £4 to £6, sacks in, ex store. A steady demand continues for all grasses and also for cocksfoot, and stocks of these seeds are now in small compass. The wholesale value of good quality' ryegrass is 7s a bushel, f.0.b., with Italian and Western Wolths at 6s 3d. A little more interest is being shown in the dogstail market, which is now improving.
