NEW ZEALAND FAR. TRIBUTING COMj LIMITED. WEEKLY Hi Welling uou During the last few days new &■ toes have been arriving freely, and prices of both new and old have declined ecording. 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 iioar, bran and" pollard. The advances w. these three lines since the outbreak of hostilities has been £5 10s, £3 15s and £1 10b per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being iestricted, and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley nad peas are recommended as the beet 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 tare likely to keep up in price, ae many poultry-keepers will doubtless go out of the line. Rape 6eed is exceedingly scarce, also good lines of Algerian seed oate. 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 J±awke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but the prices realised lor second-grade quality are on the low side.
