Wellington. .Shu-eli -■">• Tlie potatoes market lias firmed considerably during the hint leu days, no doubt owing to tilt , wvi weather we. are having preventing local digging. We anticipate that to-day's prices will iiut hold for any length oi time. Onions arc now at bedrock rates, and a« the quality is cjtiite (satisfactory, thoy are quite good buying at the present Lime. Wheat .shows Kings (if weakening. Oats have fallen considerably, owing to Uie Government prohibiting tlie. export ol (same. 11', however. I lie published figures stating that Mere is a shortage ol from three to four million bushels iis I correct, the price will doubtless abvance again. A strong deiiiaii<l still exists for Algerian-oats, thoughvalu'cs ol same may ease in a month or .so. Linseed oil cake is in exceptionally good demand, it being one of tlie cheapest istoek foods now obtainable based on the unit of feeding values. Chaff is offering very sparingly, and (he general opinion is that the price will go higher. Hay is particularly scarce. I'oikers are in good d<!mum), bul suckers and slips are dull of Kale, and we recommend our clients to hold them until marketable ais porkers. Egg.s have bade a further advance, while ehee.se is exceptionally firm. Fruit.—The demand lor choice ;k\ssert and cooking apples is easier. Pears arc dull of sale. Auckland passion fruit are arriving regularly, and value* are lower. The supply of tomatoes from the flu ft is now lull in swing. and the demand i.s Fair at lower prices since last report. Grapes are meeting ready sale. Vegetables.-- Cabhages are meet ing better sale. Ohnico lines of cauliflowers meet keen competition, and larger supplies are wanted. fliveit peas and hen us soil readily where quality is right. Swedes are enquired lor at slightly better rates.
