Mb. J. H. Kiloour, grain and produce broker, reports under above date as follows : — Wneat : Business has been quiet during the past week, the demand for all descriptions of milling being limited. The values are— up to 3s 4d for prime parcels, and 3s to 3s 2d for ordinary lots of milling. Fowl feed is rather scarce, aDd is worth 2s 6d to 2s 9d. — Oats have not been much inquired for duiing the week, partly owing to the difficulty in getting freight, and the Sydney market having fallen in price. On the other hand, hopes are entertained of an improvement there, from the intensely hot weather aff ctmg the crops. The quotations are . Milling, up to Is lid ; heavy b ight feed, up to Is 101 ; ordinary, Is 8d to Is 9^d ; inferior, Is 6d to Is 7d.— Barley : Prime malting is not much in demand. The highest prices offered are 2e 6d to 2s lOd for malting, and 2s for milling. — Chaff : Consignments have been coming to hand more plentiful, and £3 2a 6d is the present quotation, unless for lots of exceptionally fine quality for which £3 5s might be obtained. — Potatoes : Stocks are still on hand, but moving off slowly ; £2 15s to £3 is the top price.— Butter : Fresh is difficult to quit at 7d per lb ; salt, 7d to 8a per lb (kegs extra), but the d-mand is not active. — Cheese : 5d to s£d per lb, and a good demand.— Eggs : Bdto B£d, regulated by arrival of supplies. — Grass Seed is not much in demand, but prices remain about the same.
