Wool is firm at'the'best rates of the season. There is a particularly strong demand for medium to good.'though competition, is very general. Greasiee sold to 14% d, scoured 23y 4 d. Melbourne, November 20. At the wool sales competition in all sections is extremely keen. The improved values are being' well maintained. MIRY PRODUCE REPORT. Messrs E. Griffiths and Co. are in receipt of tho. following market report from their London principals, Messrs Mills and Sparrow, dated London, October 11, 1912: Trade has been rather quiet this ■week, but in spite of this, values of' best grades are a little dearer, and the future of the market looks verv strong indeed. Danish: Market quiet at unchanged prices. Many buyers were hoping for or anticipating a reduction, but we do not see how this can happen in view of the shortage that exists. Siberian: There are about 4000 casks less to hand this week than last. The, demand continues good for the best qualities, but has been slow for medium grade*. •■>'!-KK< French: With the colder weather supplies are falling off, and prices have been advanced 6d per dozen on rolls, and 4s on baskets. Irish: Market dearer and on short supplies. The season is now rapidly drawing to a close. Australian: Advises from the Commonwealth are very disappointing. The shipments up to date are exceedingly light, while cables again advise dry weather in Queensland. It seems to us that unless the shipments show some material increase during the next few weeks, that we are bound to have some very high prices, because we cannot see from what source this shortage of best butter is going to be made up. The stored butters continue to move out slowly, but really no anxiety need be felt, as there is not the slightest doubt but that they will all be wanted. Nfew Zealand: There seems great difficulty in gauging the quantity of butter that is coming to this market during the coming season. All sorts of rumors are about as to how much is going to Vancouver. Anyway, it is generally accepted that there will be considerably less than last year available for England. ?

Cheese.—There has been, a dull market during the week, and prices are unchanged.
