Messrs Donald Reid and Co. report: — We held our weekly auction sale of grain and produce at our stores on Tuesday when values ruled as under:— Oats.—The demand for shipment is not quite so keen, and although prices have not suffered to any extent, sales are not so readily effected. Wo quote; Prime milling, ”s ID/id to is -Id; good to best feed, is id to is .‘itl-d; inferior to medium, is Id to is id per bushel, sacks extra. Wheal. Local millers are not disposed to buy fretly and on this account the bu-Tness in good to prime quality is restricted. Medium samples are being quitted as fowl feed.
