It is however, difficult to forecast values spread over the next few months, as crops in the couth are turning out lighter than was expected. A good demand is setting in for seed potatoes, of which we have some excellent lines to oiler. Onions continue low in price, but a sharp advance may be looked lor within the course of the next lew weeks, as tha local supply has run out..

We continue to make ready sales of our shipment of English rape, duo to arrive next month. Straw is in short supply, while straw chaff, both oaten and whoaten, is in fair demand. Oaten sheaf chaff is firm. The demand for pork pigs is good, and a fair supply is still coming into the market. Both fresh and preserved eggs are "low of sale. Honey is in good demand. There is a fairly heavy supply ol savoy cabbage, and low prices are being realised. The market is well supplied with cauliflowers, and prices are easier since last report. Ripe marrows and ironbark pumpkins aro in short supply, aud lines offering meet keen competition at satisfactory rates. Lettuces aro lower since last report. We could handle larger consignments of choice table carrots, parsnips, and white turnips. Swedes meet fair side inly. Spring onions and leeks aro selling freely.
