Wellington Markets.

. Messirs Leary and Campbell report that business is moderately brisk for the time of year -; that there is no alteration m the brice. of guaranteed flour — namely, .£8 15sjto £9— but cotnpetition is very keen .where there is a suspicion that some travellers are trying to torce business by cnttind at these prices. There, is de- - inand for milling wheat ; good samples of chickwKeat are still worth 2s- '6d; bran may be quoted at £4- 10,. while pollard still remains scarce at £5; bright oats, 23 4d to 2s Gd ; discolored, 2p to 2s Id ; oatmeal, £12 15s to £13 ; malting barley is without inquiry ; tailings are nominally wforth 2s 4d, but very unsaleable ; the demand for pearl barley at £10 is small ; jgood bright sarajiles of honey are worth ;4£d to sd ; onions and potatoes are witjhojit alteration '-i from last week, and under tho circurastancos, our quotations would be iikely to be misleading rather than otherwise ; salt butter is showing indications of hardening, and we consider it better value than last week.

At the horse sale on Saturday there was a good few entries, ami nearly evory lot was sold; m fact, only three lots were passed, and m those cases the prices demanded by the vendor, were out of all proportion to the value of the horses.; . . ■
