Since the report there has been .io material change in fhe wheat market. MillerJ . have been filling present requirements, but no considerable quantities have changed hands. Sailers are only offering sparingly, feeling confident that the continued haxdietning of wheat in the United Kingdom," with! consequent enhanced values in. Australia, will have a beneficial effect on prices "« the- Dominion Small -paincels of mixed mailing nealisied 4s 4d f.0.b., sacks extra, ftnd for velvet alone 4s 5d f.0.b. ; whole fowl* wheat 4s to 4« Id, f.0.b., safcks included ; seconds, 5s 3d to 3s 9d. The Fifeshire has almost cleared this market of B grada Garton. oats, and it can be' said now tbaib only a small quantity of oddments remains in this district, including- a lew lots -of Gartons and. duns. Prices vary according to quality from Is 8d to Is lOd f.0.b., sack&included. Stocks of barley axe about exhausted, considerable sales having been made for export* for October shipment.
