good, 38 5d to 3a 8d ; inferior to fowl feed, 2s 7d to 3s.— Oats : A demand Btill exists for our intercolonial markets, and a good many orders have been received from them and filled up during the p&Bt week, and with but little alteration in price. The new crop to hand is in really fine condition, though hardly so well filled as it might be, ou account of the long spell of dry weather experienced. With a continuance of fine weather we may now look for a large supply corn* ing forward as threshing is being pushed on most vigorously in all parts. Our sales of this cereal during the week have been 10,600 bushels, at the following quotations :— Prime milling. Is Bsd to la 9£d ; short bright feed, Is 7d to Is 8d , medium, Is 6d to Is 7<f* inferior and discoloured, Is 3d to Is 6d. — Barley : We have seen none of the new crop yet, but from all reports we expect to see some good samples shortly, which will be saleable at from 2a lOd to 3s for prime malting (bags extra), and 2s 5d to 2a 8d feed and milling. — Grass Seed : Locally there is nothing doing, though supplies are now going forward freely to the other side from all parts, on growers' account. — Potatoes : Supplies in excess of requirements, and prices considerably lower.
