GRAIN AND PRODUCE

(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post") DUNEDIN, This Day The rams during the holiday period have materially improved the outlook for milling wheat in this district, and the growth of the crop in the early stages is now assured. Stocks of fowl wheat are practically nil, as far as wholesale merchants are concerned, and there appears to be nothing offering from growers The nominal value is 5s per; bushel, ex truck, JJunedm, for good average quality There'has been an easing in the strong Ttu d £- last month for °at S , but whether this is due to North Otago and South Canterbury merchants now having secured, their requirements or to the fact that they know that there" is nothing to be purchased locally, it is difficult to say. A grade Gartons are quoted to-day at 3s 3d per bushel, f.0.b., s.i., and B grade 3s. per bushel, f.0.b., s.i., but these pnces are ..purely nommal. Stocks of all seeds are in small compass, and there is a healthy inquiry for ryegrass, cowgrass, white clover, and cocksfoot. It is many years since the season has finished with the'markets bo bare of stocks. Samples «V tTiT 0? c^ as!, froia Canterbury should be to hand during the month, while it is reported that the cutting of lescue has commenced in one or two districts an the south.
