Compcti- j tion ; was-keen, but prices all round do not show any material change from those ruling during the last few Oats. The market shows little change from our last reports, and what sales.have been made have been at equivalent to late quotations: Prune milling, Is :,lld to Is Hid; good to best feed; Is 9Jd to Is 10U1 per bushel (sacks extra).' - Wheat.—The market is firmer m that lines offered at market rates are now being taken. Prime velvet is cspeciallv inquired for, and commands a relatively higher price .than reel wheats.

Potatoes.—The market has a dragging tendenev. and the limited consignments coming, 'forward are sufficient to satisfy demand. For medium and' damaged lines there is practically no demand, and low prices have to be taken.
