The potato market is much the same as last week, there being a fair demand, with supplies freely coming forward, and prices remaining unchanged except for a slight weakening tendency. There is still good demand for seed lines and prices are unchanged at last week's rates. Poultry is still in excellent demand, turkeys especially being eagerly sought after. Pork is scarce with a splendid demand" at most satisfactory prices. Larger supplies of both these lines could bo assimilated at very payable prices. Eggs show a change from last week, and prices are now somewhat lower. Grain remains practically unchanged. Chaff is slow of sale, supplies being well maintained at same prices as have been ruling for the last few weeks. FRUIT. —Apples are -scarce: and meet a ready sale, there being very little fruit of any kind coming to the market. VEGETABLES.— Parsnips are in good demand, and high prices arc being realised for choice lines. All other vegetables meet a very fair demand. Choice cabbages bring good prices, but cauliflowers are weaker.
