DUNEDIN PRODUCE MARKET.

Kilgour, grain and produce broker, reports, under date August 11, as follows : — Wheat. — The market continues firm at quotations of last week, viz,, 4s 6d to 4s 7d for red straw of prime milling quality, and 4s Sd to 4s 9d for white velvet and Tuscan. Fowl-feed continues scarce at 3s 10d to 4s 3d, according to condition.

Oats. — Prices remain about the same as quoted last week, but as there is, at present quotations here, no margin of profit to shippers, business is exceedingly quiet. I quote milling at 2s 5d to 2s 6d ; bright short feed, 2s 4d; ordinary feed, 2s to 2s 2d.
