Wo strongly recommend our .North Island clients- not to bold back supplies, as a slump may occur towards the end ot the season, and an early spring is in sight. Seed potatoes are in lair demand, and good lines laro offering. These are still being shipped to Australia in largo quantities. Very little business is passing in any grains excepting African maize and seed oats, 'for n-iiicli there is a lair demand. The fact that oats can now be exported will doubtless have a tendency to linn the market. in any case, nu further decline in values is expected until the next harvest. Pollard and bran have fallen again in value and much larger trade is now anticipated. Oh aif is quiet, and hay is hard to sell. An excellent demand continues lor 'iarm and grass seeds, and large quantities of fertilisers are being booked up for spring delivery. Porkers are in good demand. Eggs are stationary. Linseed oil cake is in good demand for call feeding, and each season sees u much larger consumption of this pure and valuable food. The market o under-supplied with choice caujiilow iis and savoy cabbage. Several small co»- ' signments of spring cabbage are arriving, and for well-packed lines are selling at high prices. Ironbark pumpkins are meeting good enquiry. Choice lettuce is scarce, and high rates are ruling for well graded lines. ■ Swedes are meeting better sale. The enquiry for parsnips remains quiet. Choice » table carrots and white turnips are hi good demand. Choice celery, spring ' onions, and leeks meet fair sale, Rnu--1 barb from the Jiutt meets an excellent sale at satisfactory prices. Recent consignments ot early peas have been selling at 2s Gd to 2s \)d per peck. A good demand continues lor choice cooking and dessert apples, and 1 we could handle larger consignments. vhoico i lines of dessert pears are eagerly bought up at high rates.
