Extra prime wethers brought from 17s 6d to 19s 6d; prime, from 15s to 16s 6d; lighter freezing wethers, from 12s to 14s.

SOUTHLAND MARKET REPORT (From Our Own Cobrespondent.) INVERCARGILL, June 13. Deliveries of oats are now coming to hand in greater volume from the growers, and contrary to expectations the quality —though A grade are few and far between —is in the majority of cases good, ■ deliveries being from 421 b to 431 b in weight, but slightly off in colour making it impossible for most lines to go even B grade, though distinctly above that in quality, colour failing only to some slight extent. These oats are being taken by millers at A grade values, but are not in demand for shipping purposes, except by sale on sample as graders cannot give the necessary certificate owing to the failure in colour. It is understood that Otago and Southland merchants are putting out a B grade to cover the requirements of the two districts. When this is established business -with the north for shipping will undoubtedly improve as the Otago and Southland B grade is a dis tinctly better class of oats than the established grade, being plumper and more natural in colour. Current quotations at which business has been effected are A’s-.-2s 10jd to 2s lid, B’s 2s 9d, undergrades on sample at from 2s 7d to 2s 8d f.0.b., s.i., Bluff. Chaff is offering at present somewhat in excess of local requirements, and prices to growers have somewhat eased, merchants being unwilling to pay anything in excess of £2 17s 6d on trucks for prime quality. Even at this figure shipping business is impossible. Very little business is passing in ryegrass between this centre and northern merchants. Nominal values range round about 4s per bushel for 281 b machinedressed seed, the price varying with an increase or decrease in weight and depending largely on germination figures. The chewings fescue market is fairiv stabilised, the bulk of the season’s crop being now in merchants’ hands. Shipping values are from Is to Is Olid, f.0.b., sacks extra. These prices are for seed of high germination and purity fit for the export The stock market is quiet for all classes with smaller yardings in most sections. Fat cattle are still offering freely, the weekly sales at Lorneville keeping well up to their usual yardings. Values show very little change, prices being maintained. Fat sheep are coming forward in fairly large numbers, and values have risen somewhat during the past -week for lambs as well as ewes and wethers. The store sheep market is quiet, with veiy little business being transacted. Th-* yardings have fallen away, the bulk of the offerings being sheep of indifferent quality. The store cattle market is also quiet, the yardings being small in this •particular section.
