GRAIN AND SEED REPORT.

Messrs. Samuel Obb and Co., Stafford street, report for the week ending October 19 as follows :— Wheat : Tbe market during the past week has seen a few transactions put tbrough, but nearly all Northern parcels, but at lower prices th .n have been taken for some time, though in one instance 4s was paid for a small parcel Taieri-grown red straw. Ruling prices are, however, 3s 8d to 3s Bid for all sorts piime milling, while for ordinary 3s 6d has been paid.— Oats : A good demand has existed during tbe past week for these, but principally for local use, while better prices have been obtained. In the shipping business there has also been a fair demand ; cheap frieghts being an inducement. Advices by wire to-day from both Melbourne and bydney say tbat these markets are, if anything, weaker, so it is possible a lull may take place for a week or so. We quote-* Prime milling, ils9d ; good bright heavy feed, 1b Bd, to Is B£dj ordinary, la 7d to Is 7^l; dark and discoloured, Is 6d to Is 6M.— .Barley : None offering to speak of, so that prices are nominal. Our sales for the week for all classes of grain amount to 15,000 bushels.— Ohaft : Good oaten sheaf, if well saved and screened, is worth £2 15s to £2 17s 6d ; while secondary quality is valued at, £2 5s to £2 10s; 10-v class, unsaleable at even 30s.— Potatoes : The market is better, sales being more easily effected, while prices show an advance of 2s to 5 s on recent quotations.
