Wellington Markets

George Thomas and Co. report wholesale produce prices as follows :— The wet weather pre Tailing throughout the week has had a depressing effect on business, and there are but few changes to note. The Millers' Association formally report a decrease of 10s per ton in the YtJue of flour. Oats continue very firm, and pros* pects show a further upward tendency. Potatoes are plentifully supplied, and quotations rule very low. The demand for pollard and bran is slackening off, now that the winter supply is fairly over.
