In colonial produce, stocks of every description are in excess of our wants, and low prices are the result.

Oicese is in full supply at 7d to 8d per lb. for Canterbury and Akaroa make. Quotations for hoar continue low, and as stocks on hand are more than adequate for supplying the trade for some time to come, we see no prospect of improved rates. Best brands of Oamara and Canterbury flour are offered at £ll to £ll 10s per ton for trade lots. Oats are in better supply, and stocks are increasing.
