» NEW ZEALAND FAIL TitIBUTING COM, LIMITED. WEEKLY it. Wellin^oo.i During the last few days new v , >atoes 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 aoar, bran and pollard. The advances .*n these three lines since the outbreak of hostilities has been £5 10s, £3 15s and £1 10s per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being >estricted,. and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley add 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 ot one or two localities will be well up to the average yield. Fruit—Large shipments aro arriving daily from Motueka and iiawke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but the prices realised for second-grade quality are on the low side.
