TIMARU MARKETS. An caaior tone has been fairly general in the local groin and produco markets during the past iveek, and grain has been coming in -freely, although threshing'operations aro by no means <ompleted iu many (parts of the, district. • Last • week's rain haa proved' of considerable benefit to the green, crops, and the prospects for winter feed appear to be assured for 3ome months to come. A few sales' of wheat haT© been put through at the fixed prices, but the quality is not up to' th'j usual milling standard,' the grain riii ,r iii most, oaac« thin, or dirty. Soi&o millers' R.re now ■ oti tlio market for wheat, but are not inclined to pay the prices asked by growers. _ • 1 There.is a better enquiry for fowl wheat, but buyers, are demanding heavy grain, and. will not take thin and shrivelled stuff. Sales bave been mado at 6s 4d and 6s 5d f.o.b. Oats aro easier, B grade Gartons being quoted at 3s 6d, and A grade at 3s 9d at country stations. Algerians are worth 3s to 3s 3d' at country stations, according to quality. Duns have slipped back, and can be bought at 3s lOd to 4s for jnim® quality, light and inferior ■ samples being worth about 3s. /iBarley is' quiet, 5s per bushel being the quotation for good malting. Second-grade and inferior line's can be bought at from 4s to 4s 6d. ' Linseed is easier, £l7 on trucks, sacks extra, being paid at country stations for fair average quality. Potato digging has recommenced after a temporary check owing to last weeks rain, and; the market is still over-supplied Values for whites stand' at £4 to £i 6s on trucks, sacks in, at oountry stations. There is still little demand for reds. The grass-seed market is dull, and pnce3 are unchanged since last .weeit. p€&s are 'quiet, and there no aetnancl for export to the United Kingdom. What little is being shipped is for grinding for meal • ouotations being about 4s 6d to 4s 9d. OXFORD STOCK SALE.
