Messrs. Donald Reid and Co. report as follows :—: — Oats — We submitted a catalogue composed chiefly of medium to good feed lots. There was a fair attendance of buyers, but bidding was not animated, and prices show no improvement on those ruling last week. We sold medium to good feed at Is 3d to Is 4d ; inferior, Is 2d to Is 2£d per bushel (sacks extra)* Wheat — There is good demand for choice milling samples at late quotations. Medium quality is not in request. Fowl wheat is offering more freely at prices a shade under late values. We quote : Prime milling velvet, -2s 4d to 2s 6d ;do Tuscan, etc., 2s 3d to 2s 5d ; medium, 2s Id to 2s 2£d ; fowl wheat, whole, Is lOd to 2s ; medium and broken, Is 6d to Is 9d pertrashel (sacks in). Potatoes — We catalogued a fair offering of both Northern and Southern Derwents. Bidding was slack, and the bulk was passed in. We quote best Derwents at 30s to 32s 6d ; others, 25s to 27s 6d per ton (sacks in).

Chaff — We again submitted a large quantity — about 60 tons being catalogued. There was some competition for prime oaten sheaf, but medium and light consignments met with no demand, and were difficult to place. We quote : Besb eaten sheaf, L 2 5s to L 2 10s ; medium.to good, LI 17a 6d to L22s 6d ; light and -inferior, LI 5s to LI 15s per ton (sacks extra).
