COMMERCIAL.
AUCTIONEERS’ REPORT. Messrs William Collins and Co., report a good attendance at the corn exchange on Saturday of buyers and sellers, the latter predominating. The entries were a great improvement, as regards numbers, on the previous week. We are glad to announce that growers have acted on' our suggestion, by making their entries not later than Thursday in each week. We offered under the hammer and privately several fair-sized parcels of milling wheat. Owing to the reserves being too high, business was restricted. We sold Danish oats at 2s 4d per bushel on trucks at Fairlie Creek, 2s 4jd per bushel on trucks at Timaru, Canadians 2s 6d on trucks at Temuke,, fowl feed 2s 3d, 2s 4d, 2s 6d, 2s 9d per bushel on trucks at Timaru, or delivered at by farmers’ drays, Derwent potatoes CDs pp.r ton, cocksfoot 2Jd per lb., oat-sheaf chaff 60s per ton. We can place any quantity at that figure. We have an enquiry for dun and lartarian oats, also clean ryegrass seed.
