Messrs Wilmam E.

The Chri tclmrch salts were none too animated, and a con- iderable quantity was pas-ed in. Our sales open here on Thursday with fairsized catalogues, and we hope to see a good attendance of buyers, and trust there will be spirited competition. We will have a full report of our ssle in the Times of Saturday, when our many clients will be able to get full information as to prices, Ac. Oats —This week these have been bringing considerably higher prices, and a fair demand exists for all classes. Whether they will keep up or not remains to be seen. Stocks are light, which will tend to improve matters ; but, on the other hand, the Bluff is coinpctiug strongly, as holders there are now anxious to clear, and this will not improve our export business. Locally » fair demand exists. We quote : Prime milling.
