DUNEDIN PRODUCE MARKET, OCTOBER 21, 1885.

J. H. Kilgour, grain and and produce broker, reports under above date as fol ows -.—Wheat : The demand continues active for all descriptions or milling, but buyers are not inclined to advance on recent quotations — viz., 3^ 4d to 3s 5d for white velvet and Tuscan, aud 3s 10 'Si 2d for red straw ; fowl feed and inferior milling are btill very scarce at 2s Gi to 2s 10J. — Cuts : The market this week has been q'riet, but as supplies have Dot been so plentiful, prices have not suffered any diminution. I repeat quotations of last week — viz., 2s for best milling. Is lid for light short feed fit for shipping, and Is 8d to Is 3d for ordinary feed. — Barley : The market is dull and prices nominally the same as leported last week. — Chaff : The supply is still short, and any lots of good quality, well cut, sell readily at £3 ss, and oidmaiy at £3. — Potatoes : The market is over supplied, and there being no shipping outlet, prices have suffered a further drop. My siles have been at £3 ss, which is the price to-day.~ Butter : Dull ; salt lOd, fresh 84 to lid.— Cheese : 5d for best quality.— Etjgs : 9d ptr dozen. — Grass seed : Rye-grass is wanted at up to os Cocksfoot quiet ; 3^d to 4-} 1.
