D. CREWE’S WEEKLY REPORT. During the week the demand for produce has been more active, and I have placed several lines of potatoes privately at an advance of 2s Cd per 'ton above last quotations. I anticipate the demand will increase as the planting season draws near. The demand chaff (which is scarce in this district) is increasing, as the grass is still short and the weather severe on stock. At Saturday’s horse sale a team of draught horses with a dray and harness realised £SO. Hacks were dull in demand, owing to the inclemency of the weather. The attendance at the miscellaneous and produce sale was limited. Many lines were passed in under the hammer, but most were sold privately after the sale. The property on the Mangahao road was purchased by Mr H. W. Briggs for £135. For produce I quote potatoes, good sample, £2 15s to £2 17* Gd; others, £2 as to £2 7s 6d; onions, jjd to Id per lb ; first early seed potatoes, 7s to 9s 6d per cwt. I have several enquiries for good hoggets, also good dairy cows and heifers.
