Messrs Esam and Arthur's Weekly Report.-There has been a' more satisfnev toiy demand for both produce and fruit during the week. In produce prices con' tiriiie low with but little prospect of immediate improvement, There tijive been few enquiries for new potatoes which we think causes new season's to be so low in value. In cereals the market quotations are practically unaltered. > Fresh butter in good , supply, and we consider theinarket some- ' what weaker, the bidding being more sluggish than usual. There.are large quantities , of keg quality coming forward, whilst buyers are not disposed to present values.' Hams and . bacon of» local make in more limited supply.' the Southern shipments,; however, maintain the demand- Fruit: Supplies of local are increasingly weekly,and very fair prices are being obtained. Poultry is in limited supply, the demand for which continues good. .
