TIMARU.
Our Timaru correspondent reports: — Lack of animation is still the rulinc characteristic of the Timaru grajn and produce markets. The wheat and oats on hand is now narrowed down to a- very small compass, and the business doing is very limited. As high as 5s 6d per baashel, on trucks, country stations, is being offered for prime velvet, but there is little offering, and very few sales have been made. Tuscan and Red Chaff are worth from 5s 3d to 5s 4d, and fowl wheat is selling at 4s 3d to 4s 6d, f.o.b. The latter is, of course, second quality milling wheat, everything that could be classed as fowl feed having been long since used up. The new season's grain is expected to be on the market within six weeks from dot*, and prices ore expected to ease back a little then. Oats maintain their late value of 2s 6d for Danish, damaged and inferior selling at from 2s to 2s 3d. There is practically nothing doing in barley. Flour was yesterday quoted at £12 per ton by the Millers' Association, bran at £6, pollard at £6 10s, and oatmeal at £13 10s per ton.
