For the convenience of the farming community, "The Chronicle" is reprinting from day to day, d.ir--1 ing the autumn season, the quotations of prices current as isd i<xi ty the Farmers' Distributing Ccini pany: — WELLINGTON, August 19. Potatoes are firmer in price, and an early rise in both taules and seeds is probable. " Canterburygrown seed up-to-dates are coming to hand in excellent order, and we are doing a large trade in_ tihem just 1 now. The market is being largely supplied with Melbourne onions, but I-ui-ji I grown Brown Spanish are now coming in. Cabbago and cauliflower are slightly easier, but the de mand continues very satisfactory. Table carrots are slow of sale. Lettuce is in good enquiry at high values. Apples continue to sell well, and we could do with much lagrer .supplies. As nntciipated last week, eggs have further declined, and the supply is very large. Fungus would bring big hprices if it arrived shortly. Maize has risen in price, but other grains show no alteration.
