WEEKLY REPORT

.Wellington, April 30. Potatoes.—The market continues iirni, and prices in the south indicate a strong position, nevertheless buyers are not inclined to ■speculate at present values, and business passing is therefore only ior immediate requirements. Onions are dull of sale. Eggs (fresh) still realise top prices. Eggs (preserved) the market remains steady Porkers.---Light good-conditioned ' pigs are in good demand at late rates and good baconers meet with ready sale. Suckers coining forward are mostly heavy weights, and for these the enquiry is not , keen; nice light ones however are in good demand at full r&tes. Cocksfoot.—The market is very linn, with, however, not a great 1 deal of business passing. Fowl wheat and pollard.—There is good business doing in both line's and the southern market for wheat is ] still hardening. Ckaii.—There is no change to report, but holders 1 are* not inclined to sell under present prices, and with the prospect of bad weather ahead is is quite possible the market may harden. Walnuts.—We can recommend ( consignments. There is a good enquiry for pure white honey in' bulk or otherwise. No change to report for dessert or cooking ap- ( pies. Quinces are enquired for but the season is almost over. Des-' sert pears meet with ready sale at ' market prices. Tomatoes are in excellent demand at high ratees. Beans are bought at saticfactory prices, but lettuces are at bedrock prices.
