GRAIN AND SEED REPORT.
Messrs Wm. K. Reynolds and Co., Bond street, report for week ending August 17 as follow : —
"Wheat. — Market lifeles3 the world over, and buyers locally are not readily induced to buy at all. We quote, nominally: Prime velvet, 4s 7d; Tuscan, 4s 4d; red sorts, 4s; fowl feed, 2s 9d to 3s 3d.
Oats. — Market continues weak, and demand is below the average. Holders are fairly firm, and consequently prices remain at, for prime milling, 2s 3d; best feed, 2s id to 2s Id; ordinary, Is lOd to 2s. Potatoes are easier still ; supply is small, and prices may any day revive again. Best are today worth £6 10s to £6 15s.
Chaff of ordinary quality is in excess supply, and drags at £2 15s to £3 ss, while prime sells readily at £3 10s to £3 12s 6d. ' Seeds.— We have a large stock of both colonial grown and imported on hand comprising some very nice lines of ryegrass. We shall be pleased to send samples and quotations to anyone inquiring. Prices will be found in all cases reasonable-
