« NEW ZEALAND FAli. TiIIUUTING COM. LIMITED. WEEKLY U, Wellin^.,. During the last few <iays new ,atoee have been arriving -freely, and prices of both new and old have declined acording. ' Wβ 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 coin maud high values -iud irado is consequently restricted. !ohe outstanding feature of the produce -alp. is the exceptional increases in ikur, bran and pollard. The advances .va these three lines since the outbreak of hostilities has been £5 10s, £3 \ss and £1 10s per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being iestricted, and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley had peas axe recommended as the beet value in poultry foods offering juet now. There has been a good demand for old chaff and values are maintained, in spite of uew lines being available. Eggs have advanced and ure likely to keep up in price, as many poultry-keepers will doubtless go out of tho line. ltape seed is exceedingly scarce, also good lines of Algerian seed oats. We .are pleased to report that our information is to the effect that Ihe crops, with the exception ol one or two localities will be well up to the average yield. •l'Yuit—Large shipments are arriving daily froiS MotueJsa and liawke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but tho prices realisod lor second-grtnle quality are on tho low side.
