GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

There is scarcely any change to be noted in the grain market during the past week. Wheat. —The business passing under hand in wheat has been limited. A few sales have been made at last week's rates of 4s 9d to 4s lOd. Oats—Remain unaltered, and sales are confined to small parcels for home consumption. Feed quality, 2s 3d to 2s 4d ; milling 2s 6d. Barley.—The market still presents the same features. Very little first class to be obtained, and inferior samples do not receive much attention. Potatoes.—The slight spurt in potatoes noted in last week's report still holds, and there are buyers for orders at £3 15s to £4. Over the latter price has been given for a spot parcel within the last day or two. Flour. —Tlie price remains at £12 to £13, according to brand. Grass Seed.—The demand for all classes of rye grass still continues on the most meagre scale. A large quantity has been offered during the week without finding •buyers. Prices are nominally 4s to 4s 3d. Most of the seed brought forward has been exceedingly light, and much of it of first year's growth. Cocksfoot is also without life * „ i Dairy Produce —A few small lots of new butter have been brought forward, for which Is has been asked. It is expected that supplies will be coming in very shortly in quantity, as the season is very favourable. Cheese is unaltered, 6d to 6§d.
