(jood seed potatoes are offering freely at low rates, and growers may on tins account extent their areas in this Island. Onions are dull of sale, owing , to over-impor-tations. The supply of dead pigs is much below the demand, but we expect more plentiful shipments in a week or two. Eu'.as are steady, with fair supply. Wlieat is firmer, but other grains arc unchanged. Fruit.-- Any shipments of apples and pears arriviu.u , realise splendid prices. Rhubarb is now fomino , in in large..tjuautities from the llutt.
