THE -NEW FAItMERS' CO-OPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING OOMPINY. LIMITED. WELLINGTON PiiODUOU MARKET. ->. Wellington, N T ov, 18. IVatoes are firm at last week's rates but tile rather slow" on account of now potatoes coming on tlie market in larger quantities. Pollard is firm at last week's rate. JJran is a little easier, tlie business in Chaff is slow, and tie price lias weakened. Oats arc about the suuie price at> last woek. Wheat has again advanced in value, bul we do not think it permanent; business in this, however, is much more brisk. Egjjs have again advanced in price, and wo could dio with larger consignments. The soiling price for porkers' is very good; ■we could do with larger consignments o' these. Spring cabbage is in better demand and supplies are limited. Choice cauliflowers are in short supply, ana realising higher prices for well pacKiui lines. Large consignments of lettuce have arrived in the market this week, and prices are easier. Very tew swedes aro offering, and high rates are ruling. Parsnips are in short supply, and pneos good. Choice table carrots and> wli'e turnips are in better demand. Spring onions, leeks, and celery are in good supply. The market is well euppliju with rhutarb at lower rates. Nelson green peas are coming into the market iu larger quantity and prices have declined.
