Th« potatoes market lias iirmotl considerably during I,ho last leu day«, n« doubt owing Ui lite not weather u« are having preventing local digging. We anticipate tlua to-day's prices will aot hold for any length ol time. Onions are now at bedrock rates, and as the quality is-quite satisfactory, they an: quito good buying at the present lime. Wheat .shows .sings of weakening. -Oats have fallen considerably. owing to the. Government prohibiting the export ol name. if, however, the published figures stating that there is u. shortage of from three to lour million bushels it> correct, the price will doubtless abvauce. again. A strong demand still exists fur Algerian oats, though values of same may ease in a mouth or sn. Linseed oil cake is in exceptionally good demand, it being one of the cheapest .stock foods now obtainable based 011 the unit o!' feeding values. Chaff is offering very sparingly, and the general opinion is thai the price will go higher. TTav is particularly scarce. Porkers are in good demand, but .suckers and .slipts nr« • lull of sale, and we recommend mm 1 clients to bold them until n:a rkel a bio ati porkers. Kggs have bade a further advance, while cheese is excepl iomilly firm. Fruit.—The demand lor choice 'Insert and cooking apples is easier. I'ears arc dull of sale. Auckland passion fruit are arriving regularly, and values are lower. The supply of tomatoes from the Tlutt is now lull in suing, and the demand is Pair at lower prices since last report. orapes are meeting ready sale. Vegetables.-- Cabbages are mectim; better sale. Choice lines of cauliflowers meet keen competition, and larger supplies are wall led. f!reen peas and beans sell readily where <ju:il itv is right. Suedes are enquired lor at slightly better rates. All rool etablos are in jood demand. Choice lettuces are scarce, and salisfaelorv prices are ruling. Celery niccN air demand. Mushrooms lire plentiful, and dull of sale. VEGKTA IMiKS.
