T mre has been a total absence of life or speculation in grain and produce, and with the exception of wheat it is exceedingly difficult o effect a aula, co sequent y it is a hard matter to give a correct quota ion as between buyer and seller The auction on Wednesday, which was well attended, was chiefly noticeable by the to’al indifference on tho part of buyers to operate. Wheat,— Values for this cereal maintain last quotations, especially for prime milling lines of Pearl which is in short supp y ; local millets being the chief operators with an occasion'd order from the north. Quotations are : Prime Tuscan and Pearl. 4s 5d ; Hunters’ 4s 4d ; second quality, from 4s to 4s 3d ; and chick wheat, 3s Q d to 3a lid. Oats —Have few transactions to record. Holders ask 2s 3d to 2s 4d for short feed, but buyers say they have no orders. Prime milling are lightly held, and are worth 2s od. Danish and Tartars have no enquiries
