PRODUCE QUOTATIONS.
Laery & Campbell report that during the past month there has been nothing m tbe produce market worth noting. Imports have been small and unimportant. Fruit has been m large supply, and prices nominal; prices novr, however, for the better and keeping sorts of apples are improving. Of dairy produce t there has been a great scarcity, m fact there has been no butter fur sale ;publicly brought forward ; eggs, too, have been Very scarce, and, m the absence of proper supplies, quotations would be misleading j poultry has also been m but small supply, but it is as well it should be so, as prices have been far from satisfactory. Cheese may be quoted at 6^d to 7d, according to quality. P< tato?s are now settling down to a quotable value, and £4 to £4 10s has Deen realised of late; any large, quantity, however, .being introduced into the market, would, without doubt, bring the price down quite 30s to 40s. Onions are very unsaleable; £6 to £7 per ton may be quoted. Oats, wheat, and; barley, are hard to quote, the.rniipg prices; being . -omewhat lower than cost at port of shipment witfo.all charges added. '_
