TUESDAY'S PRODUCE REPORT.

-•- (BY OUE COMMERCIAL EDITOR.) To-day has been a very quiet, albeit a very warm one, in town, and business has been extremely dull as far as grain and seeds are concerned. Buyers have shown a little more inclination to operate in Pot_toes, which, from the fact that stocks have naturally run rather low, are a trifle firmer, and up to 27s 6d has been paid today for delivery at a handy station. Wheat—Business is more nominal than actual, as millers are not just now responding with any alacrity to offers submitted, and holders in many instances are displaying some anxiety to clear out .stocks. We quote to-day 3s to 3s 2d for second quality to medium milling, and up to 3s 3d for prime. Beans are offering at 2s sd, but buyers are only disposed to operate on the basis of 2s 3d to 2s 4d. Peas are saleable at up to 3s. Chaff commands 55s to 60s. The values of other cereals remain unchanged. There is really very little produce offering, and farmers are delayed considerably by the continued dry weather. j At Rangiora, to-day there was but little ! done. A few lines of potatoes and oats I found buyers at our quotations, but this ; represented the bulk of the business. j The Seed trade is necessarily very quiet, j and until rain come: we fear it must remain j in a state of suspension. i [These quotations, unless otherwise specified, , are tJie net cash prices paid to the producer free of brokerage or commission, and for delivery at country stations within a twenty-five mile radius of town. For delivery on board ship oP Lytteiton add 2d to 2,d per busheL'i
