' Tho market lor putaioe.s - is weaker witli larger olforing.s. We anticipate values will lirm towards the end of the month, and consider the present a good time, for buyers to obtain forward supplies. Wo recommend 1 armors to acquaint us with their requirments in seed potatoes for the coming reason, as we can purcliose more advantageously than later. Tho recent rise i;i onions lias been maintained, and a steady demand prevails. The weakening of oat market has been continuing during the week, and the general opinion is that bed rock has now been reached. An advance is almost certain heroic long, and a rapid increase certain should the prohibition on export bo removed. A good demand exists for both oaten and wheaten straw chaff for dairy cows as hay is practically unprocurable, at reasonable rates. Pollard and bran have advanced 10s per ton. Porkers have to-day made id more than last weok, with strong demand. Slips are dull of sale. We have good enquiries for clover lionoy in bulk, and invite much larger supplies. Walnuts aro in good demand. Cheese remains very firm. Vegetables.:—Savoy cabbage are in hirgor supply since hist report, and demand is equal to that of hist week. Other rarities are Belling at lower rates and enquiry is slow. Choice cnulifiower.s are to-day realising fancy prices, but the greater portion of .x-insigubents are inferior, and price* lor these are only medium. Beetroot and red cabbage aro cosier. All root vegetables aro selling greely. Ripe marrows meet good demand. Swedes are selling freely. Fniil . -There is still i'airlv lar'jv nhip-moilt-s of conking and apples arriving, and choice lines arc in ready Kale, but inferior samples meel a poor market. The demand lor <|iiinces remains good, and the market could do ivitli large consignments. Cooking pear.-, arc selling freely : while dessert lines are ruling about the same as last ■week. The demand for tomatoes is good for well-graded line~. and te-day'.s prices rliow an ill values. Higher values are ruling i'<>i .-.hum.! varities. Potatoes. Prime, IT,: oilier,.. C 5 1o £5 10s.
