▼ NEW ZEALAND FAR: TRIBUTING COMi LIMITED. WEEKLY U. Welling WJII During the last few clays new ... ,atoee iiavo been arriving freely, aud prices of both new and old have de.clined 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 ■' ad trade is consequently restricted. The outstanding feature of the produce -ale .is the exceptional increases in Joar, bran and pollard. The advances „*n these three lines since the outbreak of hostilities has been £5 10a, £3 15s and £1 10s per ton respectively. At present rates consumption is being iestricted, and but little trade will result meanwhile. Maize, barley aud pcaa 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 oatfe. We are pleased to report that oui' information is to the effect that the crops, with the exception of one or two localities will be well up to the average yield. i (l ruit—Large shipments are arriving daily from Motueka and Jiawke's Bay and choice lines meet ready sale, but the prices realised for second-grade, quality are on the low side.
