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

Oats — We submitted a small catalogue of medium to good feed. Competition lacked spirit, and most of the lots on offer were passed in pending better demand. We quote : Clean seed, Tartarian* etc., Is 5d to Is 9d ; prime milling, Is 4sd to Is s id ; good to best feed, Is 3£<3 to Is 4d ; medium and inferior, Is 2d to la 3d per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat — Shippers' oprations are now more restricted, and as millers' present requirements are not heavy, only a limited business is being done in milling quality. Fowl wheat continues in fair demand at quotations.
