GRAIN REPORT.

Messes. Samuel Orb and Co., Stafford street, report for the week ending March 9, as follows :— Wheat : A brisk business has been done during the paßt week in this cereal, millers having gained more confidence in the market, and their stocks getting low. Prices have, however, weakened on account of the rush of it on the market. The Home market is aIBO weaker from latest advices We quote' prime milling up to 3s 9d ; medium to good, 3s 5d to 3s 7£d ; inferior and fowl feed, 2s 9d to 3s Id, according to quality.— Oats : A very good demand has been experienced during the past week, not only for the intercolonial markets, but for the coast, indicating low stocks ; thus maintaining prices lately quoted. So far the outlook for the Dew crop is a good one, and much against expectations ; and with fine weather we may soon expect large arrivals, as threshing is going on in all districts. We quote prime milling— old, up to Is 10d ; new, Is B£d to Is 9£d ; good bright feed, Is 7d to Is 8d ; long tartars, if clean and bright, Is 9d ; inferior and discoloured, Is 2£d to Is 6£d.-Barley : Samples of the new crop are now to hand, and which are very bright, though not so plump and mellow as last season. We quote prime malting up to 3s Id (bags extra) ; and 2s 5d to 2s 8d feed and milling. Our sales of all classes of grain have been 13,845 bushels. — Grass Seed : No improvement in the values, as the Melbourne markket is keeping steady and buyers there holding off, pending farther supplies from this side. Our sales have been up to 3s Id for good, cleaned parcels.
