GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Messrs Dalgoty and Co. report: Outs.—A small shipment of Canadian oats has arrived, and this has had a slightly depressing effect on the inquiry for locally gnown. Offerings of locally grown, however, have now practically ceased, and it seems certain that most of this year's crop has gone into consumption. A Gartons are worth nominally 5s Id per bushel, sacks extra, and B's is lid. Wheat.—Supplies arc short, and only an odd small line is offering. The inquiry is good, and good whole fowl wheat is realising up to 5s S)d per bushel. Potatoes.—Consignments of 'northern potatoes arc coming forward freely, and are to some extent tilling the improved demand. Choice lines of southern grown are realising £6 10s to £7 per ton. Chaff. —Feeders are now holding fair stocks, but supplies have eased, and prime oaten sheaf is selling readily at £8 IDs per ton. sacks extra. Messrs Donald Roid and Co. report: Oats.—The market is slightly easier, due, no doubt, to the Canadian oats, which are now offering freely. Good bright seed lines, however, a-ne still in demand, but offerings are negligible. We quote: A Gartons,' 5s Id; B Gartons, 4s lid, sacks extra. Wheat.—Offerings a-re practically nil.
