Potatoes are unchanged in value, but the demand is somewhat better. Oniuii.s are in short .supply. I'orkers are still Maintaining their high values, but suckers are slightly weaker, owing to the heavy arrivals of the past .few weeks having enabled buyers to largely stock their cool chambers. Fresh eggs aro very scarce indeed, and the demand is very keen. • Preserved lines aro in good deum-nd, and consignments ar invited in larger quantities. ■Cheese is .still very low of sale. Oats and wheat are linn, and chaff is ifl good demand at steady prices*. We have a splendid line of .southern grown Algerian seed oats to offer and farmers would be well advised to secure their .supplies early this season.
