Messrs. Donald Reid and Co. report as follows :—

Oats— We offered a moderate catalogee of fair to good feed oats The attendance of buyers was smaller than usual, and under weak competition the bulk of the lots offered were passed. We quote : Prime milling, Is 4£d to Is s£d ; good to best feed, Is 3d to Is 4d ; inferior to medium, Is Id to Is 2Jd per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat— The market for prime milling quality is unchanged, and all choice lots find buyers at late quotations. Medium quality is not in strong demand, but fowl feed receives more attention and sells at : For good whole wheat, Is lOd to 2s ; broken and damaged 1b 6d to Is 9d per bushel. '

Potatoes — The market continues to be over-supplied, and all Borts are difficult to quit at late quotations. We quote : Best derwents, 27s 6d to 30s ; others, to 25s per ton (sacks in).
