Small lots are worth 5s 6d to os 9d. Oats. — Provincial, 3s. Potatoes are in very little demand, unless for town consumption the small farms around the mining townships being sufficient to supply local requirements for a short time. Price, £3 10s to £5. Onions. -Good, picked samples will fetch from 18s to 20s per bushel. The demand is small. Stocks, however, are at present very limited.
