. : Wellington Sept. U Pair business is being transacted in the potato market, and the quality '» good. Excellent lines of seed potatoes are offering, and at lower rates. Wheal is'lower. Oats have weakened conauly, as the recent embargo on export has been removed too late for a proiitable market 'to be available in Australia. It is difficult to forecast wliat values are going to be in the next few months. roilaxd and bran havo dropped still further m pric/e ,and present rates are quite normal ones. Very little business is doing in chaff. Parm seeds and rape are selling freely also basic slag and superphosphate, for wthich there is' a steady demand. I''armors mre now largely using linseed oil cake for call feeding, and with .-x----celieut results. Since lawt report largo consignments ol spring cabbage have arrived, and prices are a little lower than last week's. Ihe supply ol choice eauliiiowors is limited, and high rates are ruling. Ironbark pumpkins are in short supply. Choice lettuce is eagerly bought up at ruling rates, but inferior lines are dull of sale. Swedes meet fair sale. Parsnips selling at last week's rates. Choice Table carrots and white turnips meet fair sale celery, spring onions, and leeks are selling freely. The suply of rhubarb from the Hutt is increasing, aad satisfactory prices are ruling at tlm mo'.'.ient. Nelson green peas are ar.rvi/ig in limited quantities, and Boll'nK lively. GRAIN, PRODUCE, ETC.
