GRAIN REPORT.

Mebsbs. Samuel Orb and Co.. Stafford street, report for the week ending February 23 as follows : — Wheat : Since lest reporting, the market has in no way improved, as there have been large parcels of new offering from the north and some from south. Millers will not offer unless for small quantities, and then at a shade under late quotations. We look for very little business being done until the market steadies down to a price. Our quotations are — prime, up to 4s Id ; medium, 3s 6d to 3« 9d ; inferior and fowls' feed, 3s 2d to 3s 5d. — Oatß : Samples of the new crop are now in the market, but priceß offered are l^d to 2d lower than those paid for full bright old oats. There is a good demand for milling sorts. At public sale on Monday, milling realised Is lOd, though posßibly for a prime sample Is lid might be obtained. We quote prime milling, Is 9d to Is lOd ; bright feed, Is 7d to Is Bid ; medium, Is 6d ; infeiior, Is 2d to Is 5d. — Barley : There are still inquiries for malting but, so far, no arrivals, and those on the market first should command a remunerative figure — say up to 3s, bags extra. — Grass Seed : We have to report our having disposed of a quantity at a remunerative figure to growers, but the Northerners seem to be taking the ground from under our feet in shipping direct, the prices realised being so favourable for them. Prices range from 2s 6d to 3s Id for undressed. — Potatoes : The arrivals during the week have been up to requirements, and nearly all to hand have been sold about last week's rates — namely, £2 178 6d to £3 5s for prime Derwents.
