SOUTHLAND MARKETS (From Ock Own Correspondent.) INVERCARGILL, June 9. GRAIN REPORT. Oats. —This market remains firm on recent rates —A grade 2s 6d, f.0.b., e.i.,8 grade 2s to 2s 2d —but in the latter little, if any, business is being transacted. A’s are still in demand, largely due to their shortage and the needs of foward sellers to secure stocks in view of their commitments. Threshing operations must before long come to a standstill, and it seems probable that prices Will hold firm until spring threshing begins in the early part of August. Duns are saleable at from 2s 2d to 2 fl 6d per bushel, f.0.b., s.i., the variation in price being accounted for by weight and condition. Ryegrass.—Deliveries from growers, are few and far between, and this is due to the fact that threshing mill owners prefer in the early part of the year to keep their machines at the one operation, oats or wheat, saving the necessity of resetting the riddling of the mills. Farmers, too, were by no means attracted with_ the prices offering, and in most cases decided to wait in the hope that the spring would ensure better prices. A certain amount of business is taking place in machinedressed seed at from 2s 6d to 2s 9d per bushel, the latter being seed in excess of 301 b weight and of good germination. Crested Dogstail has appreciated in value, the price between merchants for machine-dressed seed of bright exportable quality being in the neighbourhood of 7d per lb, darker seed down to sd, Chewings Fescue. —Stocks are getting into small compass, and with the somewhat stronger overseas demand, plus the demand from the North Island, prices have improved, and range at from 34d to 4d per lb, f.0.b., the latter price Being for exceptionally choice lines weighing 281 b and over. Heavy-weight seed this season is fairly general, weights of 241 b and 251 b being considered light. Clover Seeds.—lt is apparent • that Southland will shortly become the main centre, and quite a number of lots have been handled by local merchants who have the necessary machine for dressing. Prices range, depending on quality, from Is to Is 3d, f.0.b., for white, or 7Jd to 9d for machine-dressed cowgrass. STOCK REPORT.
