WEEKLY PRODUCE REPORT,

Wellington, March lb.

The market for potatoes remains steady, and tht> supply good, and keen competition prevails for choice lines. Onions are now available from South at lower rates, and fair business is passing. We still continue to quote fowl wheat at 7b (id bushel, which is below landed cost from the south at the moment. Wβ do not intend to increase the price as long as out present stock lasts. Very little business is doing in oats, on account of the Government placing embargo on shipments to Australia. Barley has advanced 6d per bushel since las report. Moderate business is pasein gin maize, and local stocks are. small. Seed Algerian oats are in exceptionally good tTimand. We have now a fair quantity for immediate delivery. Good business continues to be done in grass seed. 'Che demand for chaff is well maintained. Wheat etra wis plentiful but oaten is very scarce, the dry weather being responsible for the fact that farmere require their own stock teed. Porkers are in good demand, but suckers are rather dul lof sale. Eggs have advanced. New season's honey is enquired for, and we recommend consignments of choice lines. Cabbages are dull of sale. Choice lines of cauliflowers are in short supply, and small lines offering realise satisfactory prices. Green peas and beans are aEoivt done, and choice lines meet good competition. Swedes arc more plentiful and dull of sale. All root vegetables are in good demand. Choice- lettuces are scarce, and satisfactory prices are ruling. Celery meets fair demand. Mushrooms are eagerly bought up. Demand for choice dessert and cooking apples remains firm and present values are satisfactory. Cooking and dessert pears meet fair sale. Auckland passion fruit are arriving regularly and values are weaker. The supply of tomatoes from the Hutt has increased considerably and values are much lower. We think present priros will remain unchanged for some little time. The demand for blackberries is very good. Grapes are mooting ready sale. VEGETABLES. Potatoes.—Prime £0 los to £7 10s, others £(j.
