Later threshing returns show an improvement on those coming to hand earlier in the season, a general average of from 40 bushels up to 60 to the acre being reported.

"A” grade Gartons are worth up to 3s to 3s 4d fjo.b. 5.1., equivalent to 2s 9d at country stations, whilst B's are relatively worth 3d per bushel less. The seed market reunalns about the same.

Potatoes have weakened. Several sales at 95s f.o.b. 5.1., and one at 92s 6d are reported, equal to about £3 5s to £3 10s -o fanners.
