OTAGO.
Mr John Brook, Manse-street reports on March "9th as follows : — The produce market generally is quiet, and values for the new crop are as yet somewhat unsettled. New wheat is in demand at 4s. The low value at Christchurch (3s) will Tent any advance for the present. Oats are very scarce, and the supply not equil to the ordinary trade demand.
