* NEW ZEALAND FAIL TRIBUTING OOM-i LIMITED. WEEKLY R. Wellington During the last few days new j&toee have been arriving freely, and prices of both new and old have declined acording. Wβ anticipate the demand for old lines to rapidly decliue. Local crops of potatoes give every promise of a good harvest and a marked /freedom from blight. Onions still command high values uud trade is consequently restricted. The outstanding feature of the produce -ale is tho exceptional increases in altur, bran and pollard. The advances »m 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 aad peas are 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 new lines being available. Eggs have advanced and we likely to keep up in price, as many poultry-keepers will doubtless go oui; 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 tbe exception of one or two localities will be well up to the average yield. Fruit—Large shipments aro arriving daily from Motueka and Jdbawke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but tbe prices realised for second-grade quality are on the low side.
