TIMARU MARKETS. Ifc. is satisfactory to note that during the past week a fair amount of business has been done in grain and farm produce. Quotations are as follow : Wheat—Tuscan, 2< 5Jd; velvet, 2s 2Jd ; Hunter’s, 2s 2d, or un all round quotation for equal portions of each ;is 2s 3Jd per bushel. In each case the price quoted is for prime samples, on trucks, limaru.
Oats—ln oats there has not been so much doing. Danish, Is 2|d per bushel; duns, Is to Is 3d for p.ime samples { tartars, 2.1;d ; sparrowbills, Is 3d to Is 4d, on trucks, Timaru. A little more business than usual has been done in barley, this cereal now being worth Is lOd to 2s per bushel. The new season’s potatoes are now offerng, but so far only a limited quantity has been sold. The potatoes are not out .of the ground yet, but crops around the district are good, and the samples so far shown indicate that quality is not lacking. Growers are asking £3 per tou, but merchants and speculators are not inclined at present to give more than 355. The recent slump in stoo s at Wei ington has no doubt as-isted in keeping the price down here.
