Potatoes areiirm at last week's rates but are rather slow on account of now potatoes coining on the market in larger quantities. Pollard is firm at last week's rate. Bran is a little easier, the 'business in Chaff is slow, and the price has "weakened. Oats are about the aame price as last week. Wheat han again advanced in value, bill we do not think ~it permanent; business in thin, however, is much more brisk. Eggs have again advanced in price, and we could dio with larger consignments, iho selling price for porkers is very good; we could do with larger coneignmeuts oi these. Spring cabbage is in better demand and supplies are limited. Choice cauliflowers are in short supply, and realising higher prices for well pacised lines. Large consignments of lettuce have arrived in the market this week, and prices are easier. Very lew swodies are offering, and high rates are ruliug. Parsnips are in short supply, and pnods good.
