New grass seeds are now coming to hand, but owing to heavy rains in the South Island, lator samples will probably be inferior. Wheat — The only lines selling just now are fowl wheat, at from 3s to Us 4d for whole, and 2s lOd to 8s 2d fro broken. Oats — The market is steady at 2s 6d to 2s 7d for good feed. Barley—Cape Barley, 2s 9d to 3s 3d. Rye grans— Poverty Bay, 6s to 6s 6d ; best Canterbury machined, 4s 6d to 5s 3d ; local, .'3s to 3s 6d. Cocksfoot — 2^ to 3d for good samples. Local|Crested Dogstail and Meadow Foxtail are now being offered at remunerative pricers for the growers. Potatoes— Flukes and kidneys, £4 to ±4 10s. Butter — The recent reports from London are not at all good and must very seriously effect the values here.
