TIMARU.
Businees is scarcely settled down again alter the holidays, but a few small orders Continue to be sup-plied in milling wheat at 4s 6d and 4s 6J.d f.0.b., sacks in. A sale- of velvet alone was made yesterday at equal to 4s 8d f.0.b., which shows the scarcity of this dfaeeription of wheat. All iines are now in very short compass, and with the bad weather at present being ex3>erienced all old stocks will be requiredi <jto see millers into the new crop. There is c fair demand for fowl wheat at <s 6d f.0.b., sacks in, and each coastal boat takes a fair quota to the various ports north. The' demand for cats is very slack, but old oats are pretty well used up. Those holders who have B grade Gartons are asking Is 9d f.0.b., e.i., Danish Is 7d, duns Is 7d to Is 9d. It is considered that the harvest is put back three weeks by the wet weather, which will have its effect on old oats, and it will not cause any surprise if the market takes up somewhat before the new crop is available.
