GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

The grain market during the past week has shown almost the same features as the preceding. The grumbling is general at the difficulty experienced in delivering grain at many of the railway stations, teams having to wait hours, and even all day before getting rid of their loadings. The various vessels loading are having quick despatch, the wheat coming forward in such quantity. Indeed, one of the drawbacks that is looming in the distance is the fear that tonnage may be scarce for a short time. Wheat—The market is steady at last week's quotation of 4s f.o.b. Sundry parcels for town delivery have changed heads up to 4s. OatH.—During the week several lots have been offered at prices varying from Is 3d to Is od for feed, and milling at isGd. Barley.—Quotations for barley remain the same ; the quantity of superior quality brought forward ie siualt iv comparison with tlie lower grades. Best is quoted at 39 91 to 3s 10d ; good malting, 3s 3d to 3s 6d. Flour is quoted by the millers at £10 10s to £11. Grass Seed.—The market is without the eligliteat change. Dairy Produce.—Butter, 7d to 7^-d; cheeae, 4i-tl to 5d ; hams and bacon, iv doth, 10d.
