OAMARU MARKET REPORT. September 13, The spurt given to the local market by the enquiries from the south of a fortnight ago for good milling wheat died away during this week, and little business bas been done, the feeling to day being slightly easier if anything. Fowl feed continues to attract attention at late rates. Oats may be described as lifeless. Feed barley is in demand at quotations. Potatoes have taken a sharp rise in the last fortnight in consequence of the exports from Dunedin and elsewhere, bob the supply in Canterbury is so large that doubts are entertained if the advance can be maintained. Interest will be centred on the Sydney market for sometime, and holders should watch reports from there. During the past few days sales have been made at £4 on trucks at sidings, and up to £4 5s in one or two cases, both prices being less commission, We quote for produce, ex store, sacks extra, ( xcept where otherwise stated.
