NEW ZEALAND FAR; TRIBUTING COMJ LIMITED. WEEKLY RJ During the last few dayß new &- toes have been arriving freely, and prices of both new and old have declined acording. We anticipate the demand for old lines to rapidly decline. Local crops of potatoes give every promise of a good harvest and a marked freedom from blight. Onions still command high values -md trade is consequently restricted. The outstanding; feature of the produce ale is the exceptional increases in ligjr, bran and pollard. The advances on these three lines since the outbreak of hostilities has been £5 10s, £3 36s and £1 10s per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being iestricted, and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley Aud peas are recommended as the best value in poultry foods offering just now. There has been a good demand for old chaff and values are maintained, in spite of new lines being available. Eggs have advanced and are likely to keep up in price, as many poultry-keepers will doubtless go out of the line. Rape seed is exceedingly scarce, also good lines of Algerian seed oats. We are pleased to report that our information is to the effect that the crops, with the exception of one or two localities will be well up to the average yield.

.Fruit.—Large shipments are arriving daily from Motueka and iiawke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but the prices realised ifor second-grade quality are on the low side.
